Answers from Face Book question about the source of the Occupy Movement

Here are my fastest responses to what the fanatic right wing has done to us.  I am answering the question that my friend Tony asked on Face Book.

Tony Avila

·                                 I’m a bit concerned about these Occupy Boston, Providence, etc. Could this be the beginning of a Communist movement? Spread the wealth! If they were smart enough to make it....and companies willing to pay them, what is wrong with that? Can someone enlighten me please.....?

Marc W. Kohler Tony, it's easy. The financial crisis was started years ago, when the Federal Reserve was created. In 1999, the repeal of Glass–Steagall Act - made the wall between investment and saving banks disappear... We forget the FDR, in order to get Glass-Stengall passed; the banking industry insisted that thousands of acres of urban real estate could NEVER have a homeowner mortgage. . The areas were created by drawing red lines around them with a red pen. This is now called "red-lining". This made EVERY house within red lined area could be sold for CASH only. The homes were depreciated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a whole new class of absentee lord lords became one of the most import social forces in America’s fiscal policy. They could be sold for CASH ONLY. A whole new class of American absentee landlords was crated. The massive depreciation of these red-lined areas caused a second depression--one that was allowed to run until red-lining was outlawed in the 1970s, but by then, it was much too late. Every city in America had thousands of worthless acres that became slums due to the lack of even the possibility of personal ownership of the houses in those neighborhoods. When section 8 housing came along to "solve" the problem, did not. In fact, about then years ago Former Governor Philip Noel called Section 8 housing laws gave him the feeling of "laughing all the Way to the Bank". Section 8 gave the landlord 3 times what the poor could afford--mostly welfare--so deferral and state money made millionaires out of many, many Rhode Islanders. They and their children now live in East Greenwich, Little Compton, Barrington, and other rich neighbors. Medicare, farm subsidies, welfare, the FDA, the Federal military, Oil Industry policies. Social Security has created millionaires every step along the way—that was a NECESSARY cost of created ANY social improvement in America. One of the most well known samples of this was the Presidential Candidate Ross Perot—a man who made million and millions of dollars automating and printing Social Security checks. I do say, thank God for him, for without him, the Republican juggernaut started with Eisenhower. Enhanced by Reagan, and culminating in the war deficit mad George Bush 43. See next post fro details as to home the current crisis was both the goal and the conclusion of this history—only now was have reached the point, that changing it is most likely pointless—that the Occupy movement, Tony, is too littler, and much to late. The trillionaires do not need people or citizens, and even the very concept of a nation state called the United Sates of America. The world will grow into consumers that will leave Americans insignificant to the creation of greater profits. If you invested in the original Greek Bonds a year ago, you were guaranteed an 18% return. The next round of bonds will pay more and guarantee the end of the nation of Greece as violence takes over social civility. I will post more next, but know that trillionaires can buy better armies and militias and than any nation can at this time. But, wait, more to come…

Joe DeLemos it seems to me they are "occupying" the wrong street. Government forces banks to lend to people who can’t pay back. They regulate and tax companies out of the country. Then blame everything on businesses. These people if they had half a brain should occupy Pennsylvania Ave not Wall St

Kenneth Watkinson Complicated problems will not be solved with simple solutions. End of cold war brought 2 billion people competing (Chinese) 2 tax cuts, 2 wars, equals deficits. Now greedy lobbyists drug companies. Look at your pay. Doesn’t it suck? I think its 4% of people own 60% wealth in this country. Some do it honestly. Not all. Do you think its fair for the elec company to own the Gas co? Is that fair?  If you cook the lobster slow after a while he doesn't know he's being cooked.

o                                                       

Marc W. Kohler So, here is part two. First, to suggest that minimum wage laws sent jobs overseas is silly—no matter what has happened here, slaves will always be cheaper over seas. We don’t have too many slaves, but without regulation we have a lot fewer than we would have, and now that the economic basis for the world is trillionaires who owe no allegiance to any country. So, for Tony and the rest, I shall continue from my previous post. I have brought you through the consequences of the caste system started in the USA after the Depression. Yes, there was always rich and poor, but after the depression, FDR took the Progressive Platform of his cousins, Theodore Roosevelt. For that, you can go tohttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/26_t_roosevelt/psources/ps_trprogress.html.People call the Progressive Party, The Bull Moose Party. Theodore Roosevelt never really called the party that that. He was shot on October 13, 1912. Reports say that in the speech that night, people claim he said he survived because he must be “strong as bull moose.” That’s not true. Other people say he told a reporter that after he got out of the hospital, as an answer to a reporters question. That’s not true, either. The election was held 18 days after the shooting. So, the term Bull Moose came AFTER TR lost. TR NEVER dreamed that the name of the American Progressive Party would be the Bull Moose Party (which is what it did come to be known—lasting until about 1916. “Bull Moose” was really a term turned to destroy the Progressive movement and ridicule it. If you read their platform, you will find not only the seeds, but the roots and trunk of what America should be, could be, and would be if JFK, RFK and MLJ had not been murdered. Why do conservatives want Reagan on the dime instead of FDR is because they HATED him then. They HATE him now. And they will not be happy until everything TR, FDR, Truman, JFK tried to create are completely extinguished from the American horizon. We have stood by in silence while there campaign has. Think about how this hate war started. On the morning that Eisenhower was inaugurated, he and Mamie refused to get out of the limo to have tea with Bess and Harry. This had never happened in the history of the country. Harry could have just sat there waiting in Whitehouse…the insult (probably created by Allen Dulles or his brother John Foster Dulles). This will lead to Credit Default Swap Bonds in 1999, and that transferred trillions of dollars out of our economy. To understand the next post, it would be good for to you read the Credit 
Credit Default Swaps: The Next Crisis?
By JANET MORRISSEY 
TIME MAGAZINE Monday, Mar. 17, 2008

Joe DeLemos Want to see the future USA under "progressiveness" ? Look at what's happening in Europe. Too much government = High unemployment, high spending, high taxes, high deficits and much more. Coming soon to your country.

Steve Annarummo David Ferro.... today, sharing the wealth has taken on a completely new meaning than what Jesus implied. Now it is all about entitlements and being lazy. I am all for helping the poor, but there are too many who don't want to work and want to continue to receive free benefits for the rest of their lives. And this is wrong. Besides, I want to be able to give to the charities that I want too, not having the government continually picking my pockets and than doing what they will.

Marc W. Kohler Again, you miss the point. The largest charities in the USA are the military, corporation tax loopholes, Section 8 housing for landlords, School funding fro sham schools that recruit the homeless, and most federal and state aid programs. They are all cons to make the rich richer. Last week, the State Treasurer for Rhode Island, Ms. Raimondo stated that the most the average American has in savings or IRA is $100,000. The Providence Journal checked that out in its Politalfact column, and found that to be true. That means the vast majority of Americans ARE poor. $100,000 is not enough money to even hire a financial adviser. I know that from experience. Look, the, yes, Congress writes these laws, but the rich own the Congress just as they own every state legislature, and my third post will explain this better. If you are a normal American, and you have less than $100,000 saved, you are poor.

o                                                       

Marc W. Kohler There never has been big government in America. There has always been big business and the military taking all that hey can get away with. Eisenhower never spoke once to any of the people who worked n the White during his term. Not a door opener, not a room cleaner, no one. He was the ice President, and his administration was run by men who admired Hitler's form of government--a government of the rich, for the rich and by the rich. Check how many millions American corporations made during the war doing business with German corporations. Prescott Buss, George 43'd father, was indicated as a traitor because he and Averill Harrelman (Spelling?) ran a German bank affiliate in the USA. One of the first things that Eisenhower’s secret police director, Allen Dulles, got the courts to give BACK all the fines and penalties that Prescott had had to ay to avoid prison. Bush 43 joined the CIA and the Air force on the day his dad was indicted. The system that they liked linked military and industrial wealth with the ruling politicians. Remember that, at the end of the eight years he was President, Eisenhower stated clearly that there were threats to our safety in the future: Communism, and what he called in has own words: The industrial military complex which will effect every city, town, and street n America." Funny, that has been ignored. Oh, I still have not gotten to my third post answering Tony's question, but it will be here soon.

Steve Annarummo Is there any way you can condense what you have stated and give it to us in a nutshell. What exactly do you believe...please try to keep it short. I am interested in your analysis.

Marc W. Kohler I'll try. When the end of monarchies happened, European society needed a new model. Each for Royal country found different ways of creating new forms. Switzerland found demonolatry with a hidden banking system that was available to all comers--lots of ex-Nazis. France had lots of trouble, and it was not until Detaille that it learned to form a balance between king and votes. The rich in America adored Hitler's system. It was a system where business and politics combined t produce vast materials while only s tiny few truly benefitted. Henry Ford took it a step forward, and wrote about The Jewish Problem. When Allen Dulles returned from Germany, he brought with him 10,000 officers of Hitler (John Loftus: Secret War against the Jews).  The 10,000 were organized into what became the Ethnic Wing of the Republican Parry. This group organized the John Birch Society. The new Mercury Magazine and a vast number of racist and fascist dogmas. America rejected their plans. George Lincoln Rockwell was killed by one of his own Nazi member. William F. Buckley who had met with Rockwell several times was the public spearhead of this movement. The problem for them was a parochial view of party and state in America. They needed one thing to break that confusion. When John Kennedy decided to NOT provide air cover for Bay of Pigs, his fate was sealed. When Nixon wanted to contest the Hawaii delegation electoral votes, Dulles told him not to worry, something would be done. On Nov, 22, 1963, Nixon was at a "conference" and lodged at a local hotel n Dallas. From that day onward, Nixon uses "That Bay of Pigs thing" in the tapes to specifically refer to the JJFK assassination. The missing 17 minutes told what he knew. So, with the deaths of JFK, RFK, MLK, and the wounding (attempted assassination) of Governor Wallace sealed victory for Nixon and the Dulles founded groups within in the CIA. Word,

Marc W. Kohler Since that time, the big money, the greed and the murderous style of right wing professionals as multiplied as hundred fold. Creating Credit Default Swap Bonds gave them a chance to make $30 for every $1 they invested in bonds backed by assists which THEY KNEW WERE GOING TO GO bad.  Again look at Morrissey's article in the Time March 2008 issue. Oh, the last piece of the fascist America was the realization that it can only succeed in with a population irrationally committed to religion. That is why, today, Pat Robertson commands over 35 millions votes. The nutshell is that they won, no one knows about it. They are keeping it a secret. Obama will probably not serve out his second term alive. Rich people do not need countries anymore. There are billions and billions of dollars to be made through a world based solely on money.

Marc W. Kohler That's wild, but that's it for now. Thanks for asking.

Response to WBUR Article on the Economy

Hi:

Your show on the financial reform bill left out a key fact.

In President Obama's first press conference, Proesident Obama responded to a question from a reporter about Amereicans overuse of credit with a statement referring to "bonds that paid 30 to 40 times the investment." You can look this up. I can direct to papragraph near the endof the Press Conference, or you can print out a copy of it.

What no one is atatin is that for every dollar invested in Credit Default Swap Bonds, the Bond Hiolder was GUARENTEED a payout of between 30 ans 40 tiems if the sub-prime mortages "backing" these bonds went bad. I put quotes around "backing", because everyone who bought them KNEW that the mortages were going to go bad. They had paid out millions of dollars to mortage originators to created these insured and guarenteed bonds. As President Clinton's remarks over this weekdn, he made it clrear. "1% of the Americans(th richest) created insturments which would impact on %100 of th population.

See; Jant Morrisay, Time Magazine for March 2008.
I have a blog at Progressive Liberal Truths on blogspot.

The address is progresiveliberaltruths.bnlogs.... Sometimes that takes y0u there, abnd somnetimes y0u have ro break the words up.

The bottomline is that for every $100,000 subprime mortgage that goes bad today, a Credi Default Swap Bond holdermakes between $ 4,000,000 and $ 30,000,000. In Moriiseyss' articel in Time, she predicted that 45 Trillion would transfer to the super rich. Experts today predict that th amount will be over 75 Trillion. The only way to ereally sove this problem is to have President Obama declare a claw back of all the Yield Spread Premiums(YSP) paid to mortgage makers, and clawback the payments based on Credit Default Swap Bonds. Without that, a million wealth Americans and American c]orprattions will control more moeny than has ever been held by the ricvh oin the history of the world.

Call me; 401-351-0373
Interview me, and I will convince you that this CDSB scam was put in place by Gramm's Bank bills in 1998-2000. Cluinton thought it would help poor people, and insead, it has made EVERY American poorer. The poor neighboods are going to blow just like thy did in the sixties. Maybe, I should mail or email you my Essay A A White Guy's Primer on Racism in America.

Millions dead for Gain

In a previous blog, I mentioned the 125 million humans killed and allowed to die from 1880 to 1920 from "modern colonialism". I was just reading the Peoples History of the United States by Zinn--something all of y0u should read. He points out that the population of 75 million native Americans disappeared as result of the European invasion. Most historians agree that 50 million Africans were ripped out of Africa in the international slave trade. 12 to 15 million of these souls were "shipped' to America. They lay down in "boxes" with their heads and feet in irons. One out of three died in the transit(5 million if your math skills are limited) Many went literally "crazy" from the trip. In Beloved by Toni Morrison, the character Halle loses his mind when at the end of the torturous life goes insane. Many who have read this book write a lot about he nature of the "ghost" daughter, or the state of literary quality of the book. Within its pages, though, is a description of an incident which I have heard little about, and it runs past so fast, it was hard to catch. During the night of Sethe's escape and torture, one of the Paul's is lynched. But, his body is seen swinging from a tree, having had his feet chopped off and been decapitated. Maybe I am naive, but to some degree that this is the secret bomb in the book. Think about men who cut off a man's feet while he was alive---hung him from a tree---and then chopped his head off. The events are not described in the book. All we hear is Paul D's description of the scene as he runs away.

The point I am making is that the rule of greed has destroyed millions of humans, wiped whole civilisations(ire,The Five Nations in America). There is no doubt that these "tribal" civilizations were MUCH more civilized than the European desire to kill and maim for profit.

I know this may sound like a cliche, but if I asked you to name the number of widows living in Iraq right now, would you know? The answer is over two million. Would you know? Would you care? When Bush was President, he stopped counseling for abortions throughout the world. It is estimated that the death toll in Africa alone topped 15,000 women who died from medical care for pregnancy. There was NO help to abort these fetuses and NO medical care to deliver the babies. They remained in the bodies of the women and killed them. If you actually believe that this kind of mass killings are things of the past, then you simply do not know America in the past or present. If you think of yourself as a progressive or liberal, then I will post a bibliography in my next post, but I will suggest one book now, HITLER'S WILLING EXECUTIONERS. The professor form Harvard who wrote this book, was prevented from getting an endowed professor's chair because `the powers the make those decisions decided that the book was too controversial for a Harvard professor. They may not burn books today, but they will surely punish those who stand up for the truth.

Now. the Financial Mess

Now, the Financial Mess
Between 1998 and 2000, the laws regulating banks and bank investments wtitten afetr the Great Depression were stripped of all their regulatory power. From that monet on, Credit Default Swap bonds became the whole in the fabric of our economic life.

To understand them best, go to Time Magaxine for March 2008 in an article by Janet Mirrissey. You can also get CDSB defintion from the net, but the explanation is difficult to understand.

To undwestand thm best, look at y0ur newspaper for today. Take a look at the foreclosure listings. Call the banks involved and find out the net left on the mortgages. Take that number and mukltipkly by 30 or 40, and y0u will get th money that will be paid out to a CDSW holder. All the "bonuses" mentioned in the press are CDSB payments--not bonuses. In his first Press Conference, President Obabma mentioned in an answer to a wuestion from MSNBC's political reproter--"..You know that the boinds that pay 30 to one caused this pronbekms." That may not ne exact, but thepoint he made was that CDSB took trillions of dollars out of 0ur economy. Morrissey, in her Time article suggests the amount might be over 45 Trillion dollars--Now, experts are predicting that the amount will be closer to 75 Trllion. The bond holders and hedge fundas who now own that amount of money have more money than any group of any indivicuals aand organizations in theistory of the world.

Also, a retired lawyer who spent his whole career bewteen New York and Europe designing tax loop holes for officers, board, and the corporation itself for a major internationl American bank. He confirmned this theory. As he put it, "we got away with murder!" Clinton needed mortages for the poor--no one told him that it would cost our economy over 50 trillion dollars! Senator Gramm and his ilk got to increase these mortages by 50%, creating the largest mortgage failure in our history.

"Yield Spread Premiums"(Check on Google) were paid to loan origanorts of betaween $2,000 and $15,000 based on the fact that a $ 100,000 mortages written in 2002, would produce $ 3,000,00 if the CDSB was 30 to one, or $ 4,000,000. Think about it? YSPs made mini fortunes for everyone involved.

If we want to stop this crisis, the federal governemtn must Claw Back these YSPs and ALL CDSB payments. Then, over 50 Trillion dollars would be retuerned to the people of the United States.

Back Again

Progressive and Liberal Truths include facts that the right wing deny: historical events that they say never happened, corrections for the out and out lies that they tell. In some cases, I will refer you to books, articles, websites, and televisions shows. A truth can also be an opinion which helps us all to advance.(On Thursday, at a speech at Brown University held the opinion that the true legacy of Martin Luther King==Poverty, Military, and Racism--have never been realized or even been up for discussion.

There are also truths that we, as progressives and liberals do not want to admit to--for instance, the silence of words and actions in the face of a right wing theocratic take-over of the USA government that started in 1978 at the Family Conference sponsored by President Carter where the Born-again-Chrisy=tans showed the power that they could bring to bear. They were wooed by many politicians, but the true jump occurred after Robertson ran for President, and then he set up thousands of groups to take over Republican local parties. By 1992, he was the most powerful person in the Republican Party. Our fault as progressives has been to keep silent about his campaign, and to not come up with an equal movement.

Here's a fact. Air America, went out of business last week.

Be assured, we are living through the repeat of the 1920s and 30s in Germany, Spain, Italy, and Japan--the growth of violent religions(Nazis. might makes right, and racial identity is supreme. That is where we are at right now. That is why people are bringing guns to discussions about Obama's health care.
Well, I will be back in a few days with more discussions. One goal I have for this blog is to it possible for you understand the political line from Henry Ford, Father Coglin, Irish Protestant extremist Ian Paisley, Allen Dulles, Prescott, George H, and George W Bush. I might be able complete the gaps in the Dulles ordered assassinations of JFK, RKK, MLK, Malcolm X, and the wounding of Governor Wallace.

Bye for now.

The Beginning

Here is where we start.

We have to tel the truth as we know it and see it. We need to stop the lies ands distortions from the right wing in this country. We forget that Woodrow Wilson had one visit from Wasghinto Carver, and then NEVER had a black person in the White House. His racism and attqachemtn to Wealthy souterners, and it has been hidden for decades.

From 1880 to 1920 125 million died from the Il Nino Famines. Ths is in the book The Vicotrian Holocausts, El Nino Famies and the Creation of the Third World. The population of the Congo dropped from 20 millions to 10 million durin thse forty years. King Leopold of Belgium created much of this disaster, but the famines killed millions in Africa, Asia, South America, and lot in between.

If we need to know why Hitler could get away with his genocide against Jews, Gypsies, Pacificst, Socialists, Poles, Christians, Blacks, y0u don't have to look further thasn these massive hiolocasts. Hitleer and Allen Dulles were both teenagers and y0ung adults when reports of these catastrophies. Niether of them needed proof that mass murder was a viable way to run the world, and niether one ever should be excused for what they did.

Allen Dulles, y0u ask? Well, according to The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People by John Loftis and Mark Aarons, Dulles had a very cozy relationship with Nazis Officers after WWII, In fact, he brougth ten thousand of these men to America in the late fifties to build a group to fight East Germany. They never did anything, but create the Ethnic Wing of the Republicn Party-led by Presecott Bush's son, George Bush. Oh, Prescott had been indicted and fined for being a traitor in the 1940's because the bank he and Averell Harriman worked for was a Nazi Bank. In 1951, Dulles got ALL of Prescott's money back that he had paid in fines. On the day that Prescott was indicted, Gearge Bush joined the Air Force and the CIA. WShile leading the "thnic Wing"(Nazi) wing of the Republican Party, Bush worked as the director of the invasion of Cuba. Loftis and Aarons tell us that three of the invading ships were named in his honor. Y0u can read the book to get the specifics.

Moreover, this blog will tell y0u more and more about the Lies that we have heard from the right in order to alter our world. Futhermore, with the rifght knowledge, y0u can see a duirect line from the racists Ford, to Father Coglin, to the bushes, to the murders of the to Kennedyis, the wounding of Governeor Wallace, and the deaths of Martin Luther king and Malcolm X. The men whole did these acts HATED FDR and Truman, and have spent sixty years destroying their ideas, hopes, and dreams. Thge climax of their work was the creation Default Credit Swap Bonds. These derivatives are guarenteed and insured. So, look at y0u newspaper for today. For every foreclosure in y0ur paper, a Credit Default Swap Bond holder makes $30 to $40 for every dollar in the foreclosure. These are the "bonuses" that they are paying now. The people who wrote these sub-prime mortgages were paid a Yield Spread Premium(YSP)(lool it up on Google) which was a fee of between $2,000 and $15,000 per mortgage. People were making thousands of dollars writing mortgages that were never going be paid back.

President should claw bacl all YSP payments, abd every Credit Defauklt Swap Bond
payment. If you go to Time Magazine for March 2008, look at the article by Janet Morrissey where she predicts 45 trillion dollars will be moved out of our economy ny about 25,000 people. Today, the predictions put these bond holders will walk away with 75 Trillion dollars. Obama could claw this back, and our crisis would be over. The rel quesrtion is what and where are these trillions of dollars going to be used. There is enough money there to BUY every election in America for the next five decades.

more later.....
