AMERICA’S DEBT CLOCK

Richard Salbato 10-20-2009

Many if not most American’s are worried about the coming Health Care Bill or the coming Tax and Trade bill this year. Most of us are worried about the loss of Constitutional freedoms being eroded little by little.  I am worried about the growth of the Federal Government and the loss of states rights and the Federal government’s violations to the Constitution.  All of us should be worried about the coming war between Israel and Iran, maybe in November.

But there is one thing that is more important than all the above, because we might not be able to get out of this problem, no matter what we do, and that is the National debt.  Before I go on to explain this I would like you to click on the following web site, which is a live second by second count of America’s debt and all its components.  Click on now and I will wait for you to come back to this article.   http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Now I am not trying to be sarcastic now but considering America’s education system today, I have to explain for some what debt is.  Debt is the difference between the money you take in and what you spend.  If the government spends more money than they receive in taxes, that is the debt. To pay their bills, because they need the money and do not have it, they sell bonds (a government way of borrowing money).  Just the interest alone on this borrowed money is now more than we pay per year for the entire military complex. 

As of now we are paying interest on the National Debt of 12,000,000,000,000 trillion.  Then we will be adding another 1,300,000,000,000 trillion for this years debt alone and that does not include this years addition of the Health Care and Tax and Trade bills about to pass. 

However, if we look into the future without any new bills and spending from Congress, the total unfunded Liabilities for the near future is 105,000,000,000,000 trillion dollars.  That comes from Social Security, Medicare, Government Union Retirement funds, Military Retirement funds, and government workers retirement funds. This does not take into account the Baby Boomers.  Baby Boomers are the massive amount of births that took place during World War II.  These people are now retiring and will be added to the roles of Social Security and Medicare.  That will jump the above figure by trillions more.

Now considering that Social Security was supposed to be self supporting and could have been, we would not have such a problem but about 30 years ago we put the funds into the general fund and now it is a Ponsy Scheme depending on more people paying in than it pays out.  That might have worked for a time if it had not been for birth control and abortions, because now we do not have enough workers to pay for the retired. 

The date of the death of the government depends on the growth of the economy, but what just happened a year ago?  We had a major recession and lost 15,346,000 workers and tax payers.  In just 14 months we lost 11,000,000,000,000 trillion dollars in personal wealth and most of that came from the millionaires who pay most of the tax (90%).  During this time, the Federal government bailed out billion dollar businesses with 11,500,000,000,000 trillion dollars of tax payer’s money that we do not have.

It is not just the government, but even the people are in debt:  The personal debt per American citizen (not per family) is $54,552 per person and only a savings of $2,706 per person.

We spend $196,000,000,000 Billion on foreign Oil per year. 

We will come to a point when the interest on this debt is more than the total taxes we take in per year and at that point the government closes down because it cannot pay the workers or the military. 

This could happen sooner if the economy worsens by something like a war between Israel and Iran, closing off the oil flow or another terror attack.  But it will happen if we do not totally change our ways of spending money in Washington DC. 

If you think that this President is too stupid to know this, you are wrong.  He knows it and wants this nation to fail.  He is not even a citizen and the best info I have heard on this is his passport.  He went to Indonesia in 1981 but at that time Americans were not allowed to go there.  In order for him to go, he had to use a foreign passport.

He has surrounded himself with Marxists like Ron Bloom.

Ron Bloom, President Obama’s new manufacturing czar, speaking to the 6th Annual Distressed Investing Forum, in February 2008:

We know that the free market is nonsense. … We kind of agree with Mao, that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun. And we get it, that if you want a friend, you should get a dog.”

There is no way to take enough seats back in the house and senate in 2010 to change things and BO knows he cannot wait until 2012 to destroy (change) America, so many of us are working with the military and the police to let them understand that they do not have to obey orders that are contrary to the Constitution of the United States.  In a very short time 3% of them have already signed the following: 

Oath Keepers

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.

2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people

3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.

4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.

5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.

6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.

7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.

8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control."

9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.

10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

Launched in March by Las Vegan Stewart Rhodes, Oath Keepers bills itself as a nonpartisan group of current and retired law enforcement and military personnel who vow to fulfill their oaths to the Constitution.

More specifically, the group's members, which number in the thousands, pledge to disobey orders they deem unlawful, including directives to disarm the American people and to blockade American cities. By refusing the latter order, the Oath Keepers hope to prevent cities from becoming "giant concentration camps," a scenario the 44-year-old Rhodes says he can envision happening in the coming years.

It's a Cold War-era nightmare vision with a major twist: The occupying forces in this imagined future are American, not Soviet.

"The whole point of Oath Keepers is to stop a dictatorship from ever happening here," Rhodes, a former Army paratrooper and Yale-trained lawyer, said in an interview with the Review-Journal. "My focus is on the guys with the guns, because they can't do it without them.

"We say if the American people decide it's time for a revolution, we'll fight with you."

Oath Keepers is not preaching violence or government overthrow, Rhodes said. On the contrary, it is asking police and the military to lay down their arms in response to unlawful orders.

The motto of Oath Keepers: "Not on our watch!"

The message Rhodes hears from the government: We're watching you.

Rhodes, a former firearms instructor, said he easily could have started Oath Keepers during the Bush administration, but his focus during those years was first on getting his law degree and then volunteering on the 2008 presidential campaign of Texas Congressman Ron Paul, a libertarian Republican in whose office Rhodes worked during the 1990s.

What Rhodes terms "the rise of executive privilege" during the post-9/11 years of the Bush presidency will in his opinion only accelerate with Obama in office. What's worse, he said, is that "gun-hating extremists" now control the White House.

Two things have happened since the Homeland Security Department and Southern Poverty Law Center released their reports on extremism: Membership of Oath Keepers has spiked dramatically. And Rhodes has had to do a lot of explaining.

"We're not a militia," he said. "And we're not part and parcel of the white supremacist movement. I loathe white supremacists."

An incident earlier this year in rural Iowa, not inside the Washington Beltway, motivated Rhodes to start Oath Keepers.

He questioned why the Iowa National Guard planned to use residents of a small town to participate in training on door-to-door searches for weapons.

The Guard said the training was to help soldiers who might be asked to carry out similar searches in Iraq or Afghanistan.

But for Rhodes, it looked like preparation for a future declaration of martial law. It reminded him of the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 when police officers reportedly confiscated legally owned firearms. What the government called emergency response after the levees broke, Rhodes saw as the imposition of martial law.

If a police officer feels he is being asked to do an illegal search of a home or vehicle, he should stand down.

Rhodes eventually wants to create a legal defense fund for Oath Keepers who are disciplined by their employers for defying orders they deem unlawful or immoral.

"The message to law enforcement is not to become a tool of oppression," he said.

World Climate Treaty – World Government this month

MONCKTON:  I have read that treaty.  And what it says is this: That a world government is going to be created.  The word "government" actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity.  The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to Third World countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, "a climate debt," because we have been burning CO2 and they haven't and we've been screwing up the climate.  We haven't been screwing up the climate, but that's the line.  And the third purpose of this new entity, this government is "enforcement."

RUSH:  Way back a long time ago -- it was after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall came down -- I said, "Folks, the environmental movement, radical environmentalism is the new home of displaced communists."  Here's Lord Monckton.

MONCKTON:  How many of you think that the word "election" or "democracy" or "vote" or "ballot" occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty?  Quite right! It doesn't appear once.  So at last the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement and took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year because they'd captured it. Now the apotheosis is at hand.  They are about to impose a communist world government on the world.  You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view.  He's going to sign.  He'll sign anything.  He's a Nobel peace laureate.  Of course he'll sign it!
So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world.  It is a privilege merely to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free.  But in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your prosperity away forever -- and neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect would have any power whatsoever to take it back again.  That is how serious it is.

 

We will have to fight back

From Naval Aviator, Commander Jerry Wilson

We lived in California during the winters of 2007 and 2008. We became addicted to Fox News and watched O'Reilly and Hannity and Colmes every night.. When we got back home, we upgraded our cable to get Fox. I watched the Presidential campaign very closely. Initially because I thought the Democrats would nominate Hillary Clinton and then in astonishment when they chose an even more hard-left candidate. All of last year I told everyone I could that Obama was not a Democrat, he was a Marxist. He is far to the left of any European leader and even our far left party, the NDP.

I read Saul Alinsky when I was in University. I studied him and his writing carefully. When Bill Ayers and his idiot wife were bombing and killing people at random in the Weather Underground. Weather Underground and the Black Panthers were closely allied. I read David Horowitz's account of changing from a Marxist to a conservative after seeing that the government was afraid to prosecute members of the Panthers for murdering his personal assistant. He suddenly understood the evil that Marxism really was.

After the student radicals failed in creating a Marxist revolution in the United States by violent means, they embraced Alinsky. You would be wise to read "Rules for Radicals" because it outlines how Hillary and Obama planned to get into power, and what they intended to do when they got it.

Socialism is not the correct descriptor for what Obama and the Democrats are doing. They are going to be much more far reaching than anything Sweden has ever been able to do. Obama is following Alinsky's plans, those set out in "Rules for Radicals" and his other writing. The Democrats are attempting to create one party rule in the U. S. and in achieving that, will create crisis after crisis by their own actions and use those crisis to nationalize the means of production in the U. S. You are in the middle of a communist revolution and few in the U. S. can actually see it for what it truly is.

The U. S. is now on the path of financial destruction. The Constitution has been shredded and individual human rights are being trampled. In less than 8 months. Obama has used a recession to take over the two largest industries in the U. S. He will debase the Dollar and is on the road to creating an incredible energy shortage that will allow him and Congress to take over the energy industry.

But by and large I think that by the 2010 elections, the Democrats will have gerrymandered electoral districts to the point that it will be impossible for them to lose control of both houses of Congress. The incredible increase in the money supply is going to create Zimbabwe and Venezuela style inflation, and with it, controls on the currency and the amount of money that can be taken out of the country.

I love America , I cannot believe how the ignorance of the American public has created a situation whereby they are going to lose their Republic and slip into an age of repression and tyranny.

I may be nuts, but so far I have been 100% in my predictions of what Obama was going to do, because I merely had to look at "Rules for Radicals" to see what was coming next.

I read Glenn Beck's book, "Common Sense" and in it re-read Thomas Paines pamphlet with the same name. I recommend the book.

When the storm finally hits (and it will), those of you who supported the Obama administration will be affected as well. It won't just be us gun owners or Flat-Taxers, or Pro-Lifers that get hit. You'll be right there next to us.

You all thought the Conservatives were nut cases. You know, all of us who believe in God, small government, the Second Amendment, etc. You thought you could just go back to sleep after the election was over. In your world, America will continue as before. You'll still have the same rights, the same nice house, the same big screen television. After all, your high school football team won and the other team lost - go team! Even if you have bothered to look up from the daily grind since Nov 4th, you dismissed everything that has occurred as "politics as usual--the same old stuff".

In the end, it'll all be OK won't it? Not this time.

There are a growing number of citizens in the US that are ready to fight to shut down the government's grab of personal freedom, it's blatant abuse of the constitution, and it's an attempt to replace the American way of life with socialism. You have to listen carefully to hear them, but they are there. I won't start that fight, but when it goes down I will join it.

As for you, why, you'll be shocked because you didn't see it coming. And eventually you'll be saddened when you see that we have truly lost the way of life with which you grew up. You'll be saddened that your children and grandchildren live in a socialist, government-controlled gulag where their every movement from cradle to grave is tracked by the government. But most of all, you'll be saddened by the death of friends and relatives who are brave enough to fight and die for something they believe in.

You know, McCain wasn't much of a candidate. I'll give you that. He was the lesser of two evils for most of us. I don't blame you for not voting for him since, at the time, you didn't know what we all know now. But at least John McCain was an American. He was a supporter of the American way of life and he understood that you can't negotiate with terrorists. He understood and appreciated the sacrifice made by my father and other members of the Greatest Generation.

Mark my words friends. All across America groups are forming. They are forming out of anger and out of desperation at the thought of losing America. They're not militia groups, terrorists as the Department of Homeland security would have you believe; they are Americans, loyal to the constitution. They are mothers and fathers and grandparents. They belong to groups like the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, the Peaceful Resistance, the Constitution Party, the Young Conservatives, the 9/12 Project, and Grassfire. Right now they are fragmented, each focused on their own cause. But sometime in the next two years, our government is going to do something really stupid and these groups will come together. Watch for it, wait for it -- get ready. It will happen.

When that event happens, whatever "it" is, our great country is going to plunge into chaos for a while. I pray to God that we make it through that time and emerge a stronger, smarter country.
