<h3>
Introduction Over the past year, I have been fighting racism, incompetence, and fraud in the Providence School Department. Up until now, I have not been active in this “social/political” world. I was declared disabled in 2000 due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Clinical Depression, and a history of being fired from seven jobs because I objected actively to their immoral and illegal practices. Some would say that I am just a spoiled wealthy White Guy who has used the “system” to his advantage. Others might suggest that my maladies are real, and that</h3>
<h3>
they have helped me become the person that I am today.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
A friend challenged me recently about this struggle saying that it was “arrogant” for a “White” person to speak for any minority population. She said that it offended her if I said, “African-Americans will do X…” So, in most cases in this essay, I am repeating what was said to me by</h3>
<h3>
specific people in specific places at specific times.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
If I overstep my bounds, then you will have to accept my flaws, but if I hit any bull’s-eyes, then the “misses” would have made it worth the effort.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
NOTE: In this essay, I use “Black’, “Black Americans”, and “African-American” interchangeably, but these are odd words. For instance, there is an established population of African-African Americans who were born and raised in Africa, and have dark skin. So, if you bear with me, most of the words that we all use to deal with the problems of racism are, in fact, out-moded and in many ways corrupt. The term “Caucasian” was invented when a sociologist stated that ALL the races of the world were contained in seven categories before 19001. Science has since proved that his distinctions were completely inaccurate, unscientific, and racist. Despite this, we continue to use the term “Caucasian” as if it meant something, when it expresses nothing. For the purposes of this essay, I prefer to use the term, European-Americans to describe people with light skin. Of course, this, too, is a limited term, since “light-skinned” people come from all over the world, too. So, granted my own confusion, I hope this adds to yours.</h3>
<h3>
My suspicion is that much of what I am writing here will offend many people. For that I am sorry. My intention is to plant the seeds to change our racism which has been with us forever, must to come to an end, has been supported by our selective history educations, a drag on our nation’s ability to move ahead, been debunked by science, and obliterated by my personal experience over these last 54 years. You see, I am working for reconciliation, harmony, and the end to Racism in America. Still, you will probably see me attacked and criticized.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
The point is that what or who I am is of little importance. The only thing important is my message which is that prejudice, racism, and active racism is over.</h3>
<h3>
As a puppeteer, I have worked in every imaginable environment—Catholic Schools and Churches, Temples, Synagogues, Jewish Community Centers, Hispanic Centers, Inner City Recreation Centers, suburban and inner city schools, and the homes of the rich, not so rich and the poor. What struck me was that I met no one who did not have problems with their parents, or their lovers or spouses, their neighbors, their pasts or their futures. In fact, everywhere I went people worried about the same things with sometimes different names (For example: The Rabbi, Priest, Minister who is “right”, “wrong”, “lazy”, “careless” or “wonderful”) We are all much more alike than different, more similar than dissimilar, and more the same then you know. It is our very similarities which make racism pointless and counterproductive for us as individuals and as a nation. Marc Kohler, January 2002.</h3>

<h3>
What Does History Say?</h3>
<h3>
If I told you that you know nothing about the history of the world for the past two hundred years, you would most likely be insulted, but let me ask you some questions in order to discover the areas that your education has failed you:</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
1. How many people did Hitler kill in concentration camps?</h3>
<h3>
a) Six million</h3>
<h3>
b) Six million Jews and one million others</h3>
<h3>
c) Six million Jews and three million others</h3>
<h3>
d) Six million Jews and four million others</h3>
<h3>
The answer is D)2. Yes, four million “others” were murdered as well. Why do we not know this? I do not know. My guess is that there was not one racial, national, or ethnic category that represents these four million people. That is, they were Christians, blacks, socialists, democrats, republicans, nationalists, pacifists, Greeks, Slavs, Italians, French, Spanish, Germans, Russians, women, men, children, homosexuals, heterosexuals, educated, uneducated, and…and…and, well you get my point—four million people. In fact, all of these distinctions also apply to those six million who were called “Jews” since this term was often applied to people whom the Gestapo just did not like. So, if anyone asks, Hitler exterminated ten million human beings.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
2. How many people did the Japanese kill during their invasion and occupation of Korea, Manchuria, and China from 1930-1945?</h3>
<h3>
a) 500,000</h3>
<h3>
b) One Million</h3>
<h3>
c) Ten Million</h3>
<h3>
d) Thirty Million</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
The answer is D)3 again. “Thirty Million”—no, you did not know that. Why, most likely because to this day historians have hid this fact, Japanese educators drop it out of history books, and because there has been lots of reasons why we “good old Americans” have not wanted to bring up this “problem”.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
So, get the picture, millions of people died under Stalin, Moa Tse Tung, in Cambodia, and many other countries. Mass Murder based on race, creed, or any other excuse has been part and parcel of world history.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
Was mass murder a new idea in 1930?</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
Hitler has been quoted as saying that the mass murder of Armenians gave him his excuse for thinking he could “get away” with it, too. This is not true. Yes, Hitler may have mentioned the Armenians, but mass murder was intrinsic to the colonial empires of the late Nineteenth Century on a scale that you simply will not comprehend.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
2.How many people in the world died from 1860 to 1920 as a result of colonialism, the El Nino droughts, and Europeans hatred of other men, women, and children who were “different”, “in the way”, or “nor working fast enough”?</h3>
<h3>
a) 30 million</h3>
<h3>
b) 50 million</h3>
<h3>
c) 75 million</h3>
<h3>
d) 65-120 million</h3>
<h3>
It’s D)4 again! Now, when were Hitler and Allen Dulles born? 1889 and 1893, respectively. Therefore, as teenagers, they were aware of these massacres, genocides, and horrific crimes because the atrocities were reported in the press throughout the world. It was not only general knowledge; it was considered “no big deal”. Why did Theodore Roosevelt ask what we should do about the “White Man’s Burden”? 5 First and foremost, he knew that suffering was occurring on a scale never before seen in the world, and he thought mistakenly that his skin color actually made the difference. The only difference was that European and American colonial powers had the technology for lethal force, and used it with abandon, entertainment, and genocidal success throughout Asia, South America, Africa, North America, and any where else in the world where they wanted to—ultimately against their own people!</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
For every dollar that King Leopold spent in the Congo, he (not his nation or national treasury since he “owned” the Congo in the same way that you own your clothes) received back five dollars—a 500% return on investment. Oh, there were costs. The population of the Congo dropped from twenty million people in 1880 to ten million in 19206. Civilizations that had existed for thousands of years were literally wiped off of the map in a mere forty years. Have amends been made for this? No. Will they ever be made? No, but this pamphlet’s purpose is start a discussion of making amends. This pamphlet is about describing what is real, how we got here, and what the heck we are going to do about it.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
What if Hitler had only paid “lip service” to his “Final Solution”, and kept the people he wanted dead alive and well enough to contribute to the economic and intellectual life of Germany? Germany would have won the war, and we would be speaking German. You see, his destruction of such a large amount of human capital destroyed his very chance to succeed. So, if you want and need to oppress a people for economic success and security, here is we can learn from Uncle Adolph:</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
1. Keep them alive (barely), keep them housed (minimally), and create the illusion that they are participants in your society even though they are prevented from owning property.</h3>
<h3>
2. Stigmatize them with images, which you know a false and misleading, that you "feed" to the public with every form of communication possible.</h3>
<h3>
3. As the sufferings of this oppressed group continues, make drugs and alcohol readily available to alleviate the stress and secure their image as “ne’er-do-wells”. Let prostitution flourish.</h3>
<h3>
4. Figure out a way to contain the oppressed people in limited geographic areas in order to provide you with the maximum of control with the least investment of resources.</h3>
<h3>
5. Like Hitler, you will have to use “Lethal Force”, “Extreme Prejudice”, “Executive Action”, or whatever term you want to use for officially condoned murder. Mix in riots, lynchings, maiming, starving, and other physical distress just to keep the pot brewing in your favor. Kill not only their leaders, but the man on the street as well. Use the young oppressed against the old. Pit workers against students—make sure, no one finds out what you are doing---then, you will out-do Hitler---no, you won’t need gas chambers when you have thousands of acres of red-lined neighborhoods are available to you.</h3>
<h3>
6. Pit Blacks (Who you hate) against Jews (Who you hate) against homosexuals (Who you hate) against workers (Who you hate) against Teachers (Who you hate), and then you can change your name from Adolph Hitler to Allen Dulles.7</h3>
<h3>
What Does Science Say?</h3>
<h3>
Science? Yes, how does science describe, explain, and define human existence and race?</h3>
<h3>
Again, since this is a pamphlet, so this is going to go by real fast. How are human beings made? Well, the sperm from a male human fertilizes an egg of a woman human. In fact, we have become adept at not even requiring bodies for this process. Still, what is the "it" that happens in this union—well, the DNA from the woman merges with the DNA from the man to create a “new” independent creature—a fetus. This “fetus”, if circumstances allow, will “grow” into a human being. Again, what determines what this fetus will become? First and primarily, DNA. Alter the DNA, and you alter the future person. Remove the DNA, and you have no person. Certainly pre-natal care, nutrition, and health of the mother will impact on the health of the child. </h3>
<h3>
Now, please sit down, ‘cause this is the thing science has proven—all humans are 99.999% exactly the same8. Only one one hundred thousandth of our DNA determines our sex, skin color, facial structure, hair color, skeletal size, foot size, etc.etc.etc. I am suggesting that declaring that humans are "different" would be like claiming differences in two houses built exactly the same way from 100,000 bricks each, and making the observation that one of the bricks (one and only one) was different from one other brick in the other house. Even an unreasonable person could see that what we are as human beings has nothing to do with what we see, but has everything to do with how we are built..</h3>
<h3>
Let’s look at “seeing” itself for a second. Hinduism teaches that the world is all “Maya”, not real and only an illusion of God’s expression into our world of the senses. These Hindus might be right. Rub your thumb and finger together; you think that the thumb touches the finger. Such is not the case, though. According to science, what is happening is that the atoms in the thumb have the same electrical charge as those in your finger. Therefore, they push away at each other. You “feel” it only because the electrical/nerve path from your hand to you brain “tells” you that touch is occurring. Therefore, when you see an object, you can see only within the limits of the light being reflected from the object that you are looking at. So, what is real is not, it is just an incredible arrangement of atoms and molecules. </h3>
<h3>
It sounds absurd, but we are nothing more and nothing less than beings that convert heat and fuel into energy and electrical impulses. All of this occurs at a level that you and I cannot see, cannot touch, and least of all, cannot judge. Who is to say that the electrical/biological activity in one human body is better or superior to another human being? The fact is that “better”, “superior”, and such refers to only what we can see and touch, not anywhere near what we really, actually, and scientifically are. Our actual selves are nothing, and they are everything. Anything else is window dressing. Skin, material goods, housing, clothes, restaurants, sports events, grades, schools, offices, hair fashions, deodorant are all irrelevant to who and what we are. Why? Because if we accepted the truth about ourselves, we would give up this insane civilization, make apologies to millions of “primitive” people that our ancestors and we (3 million people have been murdered in the Congo over the past five years, and you and I have heard NOTHING about it) murdered and start everything all over.</h3>
<h3>
Science is unforgiving on this point: We are not our brothers’ keepers we ARE our brothers and sisters except for 001 %!</h3>
<h3>
What does God Say?</h3>
<h3>
This one is easy. All religions that I have studied teach that hatred and rage, if tolerated at all, are worthy of God, but not of man. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, BaHai, Mormonism, Catholicism, Zen, Hinduism, Wicca, and many that I cannot think of teach that peace and harmony are the goals of human life. Jesus, who was a Gnostic Jew9, said, “You should love your neighbor”, the exact words from Leviticus (19:18). He said “Love”—not “like”, not “tolerate”, not “understand”. The commandment is uncompromising. I would add, “Love first, and ask questions later”.</h3>
<h3>
The White Aryan “Christian” Identity Movement represents the antithesis of everything that is holy, and if you sit and do nothing about it, then you are their ally, and that is why racism grows every day in America—not because of those idiots, but because of our silence.</h3>
<h3>
How Did we Become Such a Racist Nation?</h3>
<h3>
Here, the answer is easy—people of color stand out. The darker your skin color, the more you stand out in America. William Glasser10 suggested that to be mentally healthy, a human must be able to love, have the ability to be loved, and must live by a code. Sounds simple, but men like Abraham Maslow suggested that we need more—we need to “self-actualize”11, one of the stupidest terms ever invented. No human has ever self-actualized or actualized alone ever in the history of the world. First, we need air pressure, balanced molecules, gravity, oxygen, friction (Where WOULD we be without friction?), and a billion other particles, molecules, and fellow humans and animals and trees just to stay alive. Does Nietzsche's Superman where pants? If he does, then in what style are they cut? The clothed person is immediately the acculturated person—they have a past, they have language (which limits their ability to express those things for which their language has no words) they have parents, a history, their forbearers and their forbearers' choices, and…and...NO PERSON IS AN ISLAND, WE ARE ALL HERE NOW TOGETHER, AND WE WERE BROUGHT HERE BY OUR MUTUAL PAST.</h3>
<h3>
So, let’s learn some more history. After the Civil War, the lives of freed slaves were extremely difficult. Sharecropping was less reliable than plantation life. If former slaves moved, they encountered racism everywhere they went. Violence against Blacks continued just as it had BEFORE the Civil War, or as Southerners insist, “The War Between the States”.</h3>
<h3>
Riots, lynchings, burnings, maimings, and torture, started long before the War and have stayed with us ever since. Just look it up. Our amnesia is no excuse for stupidity. “These (riots) were also acts of outright repression, usually surrounding slavery and abolition...During this time, 70% of America’s cities holding 20,000 or more people experienced major civil disorder. There were 147 riots in 1835 alone...they covered the gamut of mob activity. 35 were against abolitionists, 11 in response to imagined slave insurrections, 15 of them were race riots: 11 against blacks, 3 to help fugitive slaves, and one by blacks…”12</h3>
<h3>
From 1870-1920, though, many Black communities rose up all across our country. The middle class black professional was not an exception. A parallel universe existed. In Wilmington, North Carolina, by 1898, the Blacks outnumbered Whites 14,000 to 10,000, and the city offices were being integrated led by Fusionists, Republicans, and Progressives. On November 10, 1898, a planned “riot” by the Democrats brought flames to the Black community, death to Blacks and Whites, and the Black population dropped to below 9,000. The newly elected Mayor and City Counsel were thrown out of office—no, this was not a riot—it was a coup.14 You probably do not know it, but the depression t from 1895-1905 was, in many ways, worse than the Crash of 1929. Whites suffered tremendously from economic forces over which they had no control. These established Black hamlets became the targets of their frustrations. A whole viable way of life, an American Way of Life, was destroyed and murdered intentionally.11 </h3>
<h3>
Then, after the Depression, the banking system was in shambles. One way to rebuild was to prevent individuals from having too much control of any single banking enterprise. This would mean new banking laws, new banking corporations, and a new “thriftiness” The core of this “new thriftiness” was Redlining. Lending institutions all over the country drew red lines around poor and/or marginal neighborhoods. At the time, these neighborhoods were poor Irish Americans, poor Italian Americans, poor French Americans, poor Polish Americans, poor African Americans, poor German Americans, and any other immigrant populations. Red lining meant that no private mortgages could be written to ANYONE on properties within these lines. With the deft</h3>
<h3>
flip of a pen, American banks commercialized thousands and thousands of acres of land without one zoning board meeting, without one legislative act, and without the consent or approval of the governed.13</h3>
<h3>
If a private mortgage cannot be written for a property, then it can either not be sold (vacant properties) or sold for cash (Absentee landlords). Drive around any urban community, and you can tell exactly where these “RED LINES” were drawn. This system of the direct destruction of our neighborhoods lasted well in to the 1970s, over forty years. Today, it still occurs, and even though it has been outlawed, it remains the number one reason why we have segregated poor ghettoes filled with minority and poor Americans.</h3>
<h3>
What can a White Guy like me do?</h3>
<h3>
To me, this is a funny question. If the Genome Project is right, then I am 99.999% human and only .001% “white”. So, we need to truly identify the problem. You see, minority individuals have no real or intrinsic problems. We, the bums on top, create the problems for them. It is sad, but the darker your skin color, the odds of you being in the bottom echelon of your society anywhere in the world is high. No, people should not have to fight for their rights. Rights are rights, and nothing, not skin color, cranium shape, hair color, or any other irrelevant aspect of a persons physiology should deprive a person of their rights. Yes, through the legal process, individuals can “lose” certain rights. Yes, they can be imprisoned. Still, seriously, I have yet to attend the court sessions where it was declared that if you were not a “White American”, you had lost you rights.</h3>
<h3>
Therefore, if I see a person practicing racism, why can’t I stand up and say, “HEY! THAT’S WRONG.” You see, if the person being victimized is a person of color, a disabled American, or a person who stutters, it does not matter. What is wrong is wrong is wrong is wrong. That’s all there is. Prejudice and racism make our resources as a nation less than what they would be without them. We are a “smaller” society if we stand by and do nothing about the wrongs right in front of our eyes. So, yes, we White Guys and Gals can work seriously for equal rights for all Americans. In fact, if you become aware of child abuse, you are breaking the law if you do not do something about it.</h3>
<h3>
When you and I look at an person who is “not-white”, we cannot help but fall back on all of our trained, conditioned, compulsive, knee-JERK, foolish, short-sighted, absurd, and unscientific ways. No matter what the courts decide, or what the police can do, or any other law enforcement agency can do, it is up to us to change—we are wrong. We are wrong. We have been wrong for centuries and centuries. We are wrong when we get up in the morning, and when we go to bed at night. We sit back and make all-white television shows the highpoint of our week.</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
What CAN You Do Right Now?</h3>
<h3>
1. Stop hating. No, I mean it. Stop hating anyone that you hate. Hate is, in fact, nothing more than the inability to gain perspective and potency in your relationship with your world and the people in it. You hate your sister because she brought dandelions to your wedding twenty-five years ago, but the real reason has do with your mutual and somewhat confused relationship with your drunkard mother-beating father. All hatred is corrupt at the root. Problems are solved, even on the battlefield, without hatred. The best fighters and doers fight and do FOR things, not against others.</h3>
<h3>
2. Realize that if you have prejudice or racist feelings, realize that you are being used. By whom? First, by the forces and people who are in control. Reactionary corporate forces to divert attention from what they were doing on a national and international level created both the violent racist movement and the violent anti-abortion. You are being used the same way that Romanian Dictator used the “farmers” when he brought them in to club protestors. The Klan kept the Democrats and plantation owners in power in the South. Remember the mob (disgruntled White Democrats) burned out, and murdered the black citizens of Wilmington, North Carolina because the majority of the city was Black, Republican, or Progressive.</h3>
<h3>
3. Make a friend who is of a different color than you. That is “friend”, not “acquaintance”, not “neighbor”, and definitely not the “I have a Black friend” friend. Why not adopt people who are different than you. </h3>
<h3>
4. Acknowledge the theft and destruction of resources, ideas, creations, lives, hopes, dreams, religions, values, social structures, and ways of life of millions and millions of indigenous peoples throughout the world over the past five hundred years. Support the idea of turning Columbus Day into Columbus-Taino Day to honor the Taino tribe that disappeared from the face of the earth after the arrival of the three little ships. Support reparations and engage those who don’t with the question: How many more millions must die before we make things right? Look, Elvis Presley became what he became because the record companies wanted a “back voice” without the “black skin". The Charleston started at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem.</h3>
<h3>
5. Patronize local stores. Stop supporting large chains. Realize that small business, locally owned and operated, has been and will always be the rock bed of prosperity for our country. This way, people of every color can pursue their dreams by owning their own businesses. Put McDonalds, Wal-Mart, and all the rest out of business. Pay a bit more to save more over the long term. </h3>
<h3>
6. Go live or spend a lot of time in the local “ghetto”. No, it is not so far away either in distance or in style. Find out first hand what it is like to live in a world complete and totally structured against you. Realize that the “ghetto” is not really a ghetto for one color—realize that ALL colored people live in our poor neighborhoods, and they ALL need your help, power, potency, and wealth. They cannot do it on their own. Too much of the deck has been stacked against them. This is NOT their fault. It is our forbearers fault, and here and now, we can start to reverse and make amends for what they have done not to the ethnic populations but to us, and our world—think of the thousands upon thousands of people who could have or would have contributed directly to your life, and your happiness, and your dreams if, if ,if they had been given one chance to do so!</h3>
<h3>
7. Take a local person of color to the bank and see if you can help them get a business loan. You will be shocked at what you hear and see. You will simply not believe it.</h3>
<h3>
8. Give up your political views, and commit todiscovering</h3>
<h3>
the truth about the history of the United States. Find out that every time Lincoln ordered a Draft, hundreds of Blacks died in riots in major cities in the north—Yes, the Civil War was about and only about about slavery—nothing else is accurate.</h3>
<h3>
9. Start acting color-blind. When you meet a new person look them in the eye. Shake their hand. Listen intently to what they have to say. Think more about them than yourself. Consider immediately not “What can this person do for me”, but rather think: “What can I do for this person.” Soon, faces will look differently to you. Even your friends will look different. You will see pain and joy that you have never seen before. You will, in fact, become responsible (The ability to respond authentically to the people and the world around you.) In this way, you will discover the wealth that you possess in your soul, and the wealth you have in your family and loved ones, the wealth, and potency you can bring to you friends and community. Without adding one penny to your bank account, you will become one of the richest people in the world. Here is a real stretch: If your children are grown, adopt a bright high school student who has no support, and provide for him or her as if they were your own child. (Ghandho sggested this to a Hindu family adopting an Islamic orphan, that they bring hp, up in a Islamic way)</h3>
<h3>
Well, I have more ideas, but I am running out of space. I guess the idea I want to impress upon you is that all the people who you think are different are not different. Know that volunteerism and your personal choices will make more of a difference than any government program. Volunteerism is, and has always been the source of real change for centuries—the first doctors and nurses were volunteers! Racism is just an uninformed, lazy way of looking at the world. Stop racism, and you move towards spiritual wealth beyond your wildest dreams. There are millions of people who have been shut out of America—welcome them in, do it every day, and your children and their children and their children will thank you!</h3>

<span class="s1"><b>Definition of the term race</b></span></div>

<span class="s1">To the Editor:</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">America seems to be at some kind of crossroad. Rresearchers have found that the one unifying Trump voters was racial animous. This was even more important than the abortion issues. The trouble is that the word “race” means nothing. It was invented in the 18th century to create a fantasy structure where Europeans would be called “Caucasian.” This word, which normally referred to people living in the Caucasus that is today by Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Johann Blumenbach picked the word, and he claimed that the people of the Caucasus were the most beautiful of the world, even angelic. He believed that the Caucasian “race” was the first and prime race, and that all others were degenerations of the beauty of Caucasians. In fact, he claimed that Adam and Eve were Caucasian.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">Blumenbach’s terms were used for one purpose: to establish the superiority of his “angels”, the Caucasians, and to defame and slander all other humans on earth. It was and remains a key part of the insanity of a Black Race, a White Race, a Yellow, Red, or Brown Race. The only way to identify human beings is by our ethnicity, captured in our DNA. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">Any use of “Caucasian” for any purpose is outright “Hatism.” You see, these haters are hating, and if we call it “Racism,” then we are accepting their premise that while we may not approve it, “Racism” or “Race Hatred” means something. They don’t. The use of the term “Hatism” and “Hater” describes the actor in this process; “Racism” doesn’t. Since Race does not exist, Racism cannot exist. The use of “race” in any situation is the tensions of calling black, red, brown or red is exactly the same as using the N-word.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I received an email about my last column, asking me to explain why the 2008 financial crisis was based on a scam. What was the scam? One hundred million sub-prime mortgages were written after the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act, were all ajustable mortgages. The home buyers needed no down payment, the rate of the mortgage would be 2%, and there were no income requirments. What these buyers were not told was that after two years, the interest rate for the mortgage woul dgo up to 13% or more. This change would triple the monthly payments, and cause 95 home owners into foreclosure. The “scam” was selling buyers mortages that they would never be able to pay.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This was key mechanism to accomplish the goals of the Scam. The goals of the scam were many, and all of them were accomplished. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> Repeal Glass-Steagall, so that the trillions of dollars in savings deposits could be used for investments which would ultimately become worthless. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Use those trillions of dollars to create 100 million mortgages. These sub-prime mortgages require no down payment, have a 2% interest, and are hated by main stream Americas as a hand out to the poor. After two years, the mortgage rate on these mortgages will rise fo 13% or more, and 95% of them will go into forecloseure.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Gather together those mortgages into large “packages” which are used to back stocks, and make sure that these stocks are sold to people an institutions all over the world. Everyone is told that “mortagages” are the safest long-term investment that money can buy. The insiders know that the stock ail be worthless in two years, for. as adjustable mortgages, the interest rates rise to over 13% after two years. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Create an un-regulated financial vehicle called “Credit Default Swaps”, so that very wealthy people can “insure” any losses from stock purchases which lose the assets backing them. For a 1% fee, a Credit Default Swaps holder will received a $30 payment for every dollar in the foreclosed home. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">As the neighborhoods become depopulated, have hedge funds, which made fortunes with CDS, buy up and demolish all these homes. During 2015. hedge funds were buying a thousand houses a week for cash. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The red-lined neighborhoods will now be used to create new neighborhoods with spacious streets, the finest schools, and the best property bases in the history of the United States. Mansions will be built n these neighborhoods, so that foreigners can use EB-5 Visas</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">to provide their whole families full freedom to enter and leave the US.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I hope this explains the Sub-Prime Mortgage scam. If you do not know what “red-lined neoghborhoods” are, I will be covering that in my next column.</span></div>

If you know of a newspaper that needs this kind of liberal work, please have them contact me.<br />
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Over the years, I have written quite a few Letters and columns about the real cause of our fianacial crisis of ten years ago, but the editor with whom I was working insisted that his readers would not understand my points. I think he underestimated his readers, and I think it is information that should be known by all Americans. The polirtical leaders of America created a fiscal siuation which was doomed to gigantic failure, could be blamed on poor people, and would reap trilions of dollars for about 2,500 investors and money managrs. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>There is certainly a real problem with the fact that this information has been withheld from us, but we should not be surprised. How was this scheme created? It started with Alan Greenspan, and attachemtn to Ayn Rand. Here is what Greensan wrote about her“…Ayn Rand became a stabilizing force in my life. It hadn't taken long for us to have a meeting of the minds -- mostly my mind meeting hers -- and in the fifties and early sixties I became a regular at the weekly gatherings at her apartment. She was a wholly original thinker, sharply analytical, strong-willed, highly principled, and very insistent on rationality as the highest value…” Greenspan would beomce the advocate for lives based of greed and selfishness, an dhis only caveat was that rational humans would not hurt themselves or their societies. To a large degree, this is the point upon which Greespan’s name as the founder of the 2008 Financial meltdown.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Greenspan did everything he could to advocate and create a “regulation free” world for America financial corporations.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The climax came in 1998-1999, when the Glass Steagal Act was repealed. Savings funds could now be combined with investment funds, and used for whatever the financiers wanted. The major vehicle in these plans was the creation of Credit Default Swaps or Swap Bonds. They were insurance but no really, so they had no regulation and have none today. The CDS were designed to reward Swap buyers a prize if the assets backing their “swaps” lost value. Does this sound difficult. It is, and I might be explaining it badly.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The bottom line is that CDS holders would and still are being paid $30 for every dollar in a sub-prime mortage that go into foreclosure. At the height of this scheme, 62 trillion dollars was invested in these Swaps. When a $200,000 sub-primed mortage home gos into foreclosure. the CDS inversters receive six million dollars. This is why there were offices thoroughout America who were creatuing fraudulant mortgages. This is why one hundred mortages were written, and the hedge funds knew that most would go into foreclosure—amd 95 million of then did. It is difficjult to get a real eastimate of the triallions of dollars that AIG paid out on these “Swaps”, and i veleive that the amount was 35-55 Trillion dollars. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Further, eveyone who had bought the stocks backed by these mortgages lost every dollar that they invested. I have read that the Hewlit Packard Foundation dropped from 12 billion dollars to 8 billion dollars. Universities, colleges, pension funds, and all the other instituions that were not told that the whole scheme was the largest theft in the history of the world.</span></div>

The Providence Journal<br />
<br />
DATE: June 12, 2018<br />
<br />
SUBJECT: Anthony Bourdain's Suicide<br />
<br />
Dear Editor:<br />
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Anthony Bourdain has died. I watched two of his shows last night, and heard Anthony say things that were depressive---like he was at the end of his rope. His future suicide was right there. You see, he was a heroin addict when he was young, and he said, in an episode about opioids, that there was "something inside" of him which he needed to fight to quit. That "thing" never went away. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I suffer from depression, and I have learned we do not “commit” suicide, we “complete” our suicides. They say that Anthony had everything, for he was very rich. What we know now is the pain that drove him to use heroin never went away. He loved his work when it started, but it was just replaced the heroin. Every year Anthony spent 250 days a year touring. His second wife traveled with him when they were first married, and stopped that after they had their child. Celebrities do not tour 250 days a year. Yes, some tour a great deal, but never 250 days a year. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> So, the show became his new heroin---his new addiction with no relief in sight. Anthony is quoted as saying that his production crew had become as dysfunctional as his family of origin. His heroin was replaced by an insane production schedule, and if you watch the shows in the last year, you will will hear him say how trapped he was, and how he was considering "end of life" questions. In an episode set in Marseilles, he suggests that the end means "turning into worm meat." He asked his friend if “this” is all that life meant, and if so, he came up deciding that it was a trap—ending in our becoming “worm meat”. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> He had nowhere to turn. His addiction, the show, was never going to stop, and he would never ever be a real person—only the puppet of the addiction from which he could not escape. His act was merely, in his mind, the most needed response to the reality that he could see---the only one. So, people who think Anthony had "everything", he had concluded that he had nothing—that there was one and only one way to escape the pain. It is a place depressed people reach and have to move back from often. In my life, I have been helped by partner Fran Slade and her family, my son Joshua. and work that I love.</span></span></div>

It has no significant meaning. It was created in the 18th Century as a way of separating the people of Europe from the people of the world. In many ways, it is not a viable concept.

Even today, you can hear what president Woodrow Wilson sad about it. “reconstruction failed because Black people could not govern themselves”. This is one of the most outrageous statements ever made about American history. Woodrow Wilson was one of the most race Haiti presidents presidents we ever had. Only once in his two terms did he allow people of color to visit him. One of them was Booker T. Washington. After that visit, Woodrow Wilson did not allow a person of color to come through the front doors of the White House. You see, history has removed most of the truth of reconstruction. For instance, the carpet baggers described as people who wanted to help Southerners. That is simply not true. They were buyers of property what’s Northern money of Southern land. They bought properties for pennies on the dollar. Furthermore, it is never mentioned that Southerners who were white and helped with the civil war were not allowed to vote. This meant that the legislatures in the south became totally totally Black. It was during that period that’s a first black representatives entered the Congress. It was during this period that the first black Americans became Governors of southern states. The deprivation of the voting by white Southerners continued for 10 years. It was not stopped until after Rutherford Ha</span></span><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">y</span><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span lang="en-US" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">es was inaugurated in March of 1877. During that 10 year.. The white to white the white people in the south Took two violence to harass people of color throughout the south. They organize a tax on the legislatures. They organized a whole new set of laws that limited the rights of people of color. We under estimate and want to ignore the rage and hatred that reconstruction created. This arrangement was probably the worst thing anyone could do for people of color in the south. Disenfranchising them insane period. It raises the question about the cause of the war in itself. For in the reconstruction, they built a reservoir of have. When reconstruction was over, and when the haze agreed to end reconstruction, the north did nothing to and hands soup support or aid people of color in the south. They left them to be condemned to share cropping so, second-class school second-class educations, and lives that were equal to their lives as slaves. So, you Know that the war itself was fought slowly for the purpose of destroying the is the southern economy. At the start of the war come the wealth in slaves was greater then all the wealth in all the banks of the north.

I wish you could all read the secret war against the Jews buy errands and Loftus. It shows and proves that when Alan Dallas allowed 10,000 German officers to immigrate into the United States after World War II, our nation National corporate leaders found there guiding light. You see, American corporations supported adult Hitler and the third Reich as a way to create a bulwark against Communist Russia. They supplied the right.. They stayed in contact with the Reich throughout the war. After the war, and with the immigrants from Germany, they created a powerful and consistent ruling class for our country. You can see this in the shape of the Citibank Corporation logo. You can see this when you consider that both Avril Harriman and Prescott Bush were indicted as traitors after that had been working at a Nazi bank for years. They were able to avoid imprisonment by paying fines. In fact, when Eisenhower was elected President, Alan Dulles sued and recovered the fines that Bush and Harriman had paid. According to Aarons and Loftus, George H.W. Bush was put in charge of these German immigrants in a group called the Ethnic Wing of the Republican Party. Bush’s position was so prestigious that after only one and a half years as a representative, he was asked hi Nixon to resign from the House of Representatives and run for the Senate in Texas. He lost, but then landed up as the ambassador to the United Nations. After that, he worked as , as an envoy to China, an 365 days as the head of the CIA. This, appeared to be enough to have him selected as Reagan’s vice presidential candidate. There is no doubt in my mind that he was the Nazi candidate.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

His oldest son died of alcoholism under the ruthless pressure from his racist father. In the pain of growing up with father/kkk member, Donald Trump decided to cheat, lie, bully, steal, practice racism against, cheat investors, screw vendors, abuse women, and carry out a life of demonic proportions. During the same 70 years, a force was growing in America which sat quiet while the Civil War never ended, and while Reconstruction tortured the South, and then left black Americans to suffer at the hands of the KKK, Jim Crow, tenant farming, sharecropping, lynching and all the rest. This force, this gathering, and it watched and watched and watched. Donald gained wealth on the backs of many while he raised the black flag of anarchy and fascism. The Koch's loved him. Hoover Institute fondled him, and Duke praised him. Then, riding on a wave of virulent Obama racism, and a wave of unAmerican corporations exiting the country, he rose and rose and rose. Donald, the white-fist-raising-imbecile, became the President of the most powerful country in the world. He unleashed his gang of cutthroats--Bannon, Gorka, Miller, ..Vos.., Perry, Price, Ross, Mnuchin, Sessions, and Perdue to destroy life in America for millions and millions. He feels untouchable. Power encased in a child's brain. Then the force watched for one more day, the day Trump gave a pardon to Arpaio. The Force awakened, and unleashed the metaphor to surpass all metaphors, the symbol of what power hides beneath the skin of the greatest force in the world. Harvey, you can call him, but he has no name. It is a hurricane of massive size. It is the power of America--the power that won the Civil War, conquered the Nazis not to be bothered by the Nazi imitators here today---the incomprehensible power of millions and millions people energized by the horror of this Trump Ascendency----millions of Americans who can bear no more....millions of Americans who will sweep this imposter out of office. Let the militias, the Nazis, the KKK, the Alt Right scream and yell all they want----our force will drown them all---Harvey is the metaphor of the century---the tsunami will bring equality, justice, and freedom back to America.</span></span>Lionspenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05435349681528768310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089411851880053042.post-63235912151885820732017-08-09T05:34:00.001-07:002017-08-09T05:34:42.984-07:00<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: #f6f7f9; color: #1d2129; font-family: "san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.24000000953674316px;"> </span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.24000000953674316px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As I have written before, racism against black people in the US has not improved in two hundred years. What we see on tv, and around our walled off white parts of towns and neighborhoods speak nothing of the truth. The truths are easy. 12.5 Africans b</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">rought to the Americas. 10.5 million land alive. Only 388,000 come to the US. They all become indentured slaves making billions for their white masters in Europe and America. White Southerners fight for the right to enslave them, and lose the war. For punishment, Northern whites destroy white life with militarily backed Reconstruction. Hayes gets elected, Reconstruction ends, and blacks are turned over to torture, death, share cropping, teneant farming, and all efforts like Fusionism (white and black political parties) are lynched out of existence. From 1880-1920 125 million tribal peoples are murdered. The population of the Congo drops from 20 to 10 million in that 40 year period. President Wilson has a visit from Booker T. Washington, and never allows another black person to walk through the front door of the WH. Red-Lining makes billions for white absentee landlords, and Section 8 Housing make more billions for them. Court judgements become the thing that ALL black communities get in tons. THEN, the subprime mortgage scam makes trillions for Credit Default Swap Bond holders, and America wants to destroy the one football player who says, and says as gently as he can---THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WORNG HERE THAT YOU PEOPLE REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR CORRECT. Black people are still living in that hotel in the movie Detriot, and that's why the movie was made now.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

We have an immature delinquent teenager who participates in bullying, lying, boasting, using people, and all the the other actions of a delinquent. His Twitter posts are no different from spray painting dirty words on buildings. His lack of knowledge will never be overcome, and his psychotic narcissism is a danger to all of us. His use of language is solely to tell everyone in his hearing, how great his is. He has no other content than that.

The crimes are so deep and so obvious that he makes all of us look like fools. To say or do anything except scream at the top of our lungs that we are being screwed is the only option. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him. Impeach him.

It is much worse. With Princess Ivanka and her Prince Jared by her side, we now have a monarchy. It is a monarchy where the King is a child who does not read anything nor can use a computer. If we stand by and let this disaster continue, we will reach a ;point where there will be no recovery for us. There still remain over 2,000 appointments which we can assume will NEVER be made. So, the King, his cronies, his destructive cabinet Secretaries, and his family members will end America as we once knew it. Jared Kushner's arrival in Iraq constitutes the demise of any standing that we once had in the world. Kushner has no training, no education, and no prestige in the eyes of world leaders. He is the classic wealthy dilettante. He is a joke. He has no military experience, no experience in diplomacy, and his expertise is in using real estate to aid foreigners in their need to "store" money--a form of international theft. As I suggested before, April 1, 2017 marks our second Day of Infamy.</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The My Turn opinion about leaks being released by civil servants by Gary Sasse was stunning for lots of reasons. He clearly would like to stop the leaks. The problem is that without these leaks, we would not know anything about the incompetence of Mr. Trump’s Presidency. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Mr. Sasse prefers to ignore the long term relationship between Jeff Sessions and Stephen Bannon. They are founders and proponents white nationalism. Bannon’s website, Breitbart, has millions of white supremacy advocates.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Not only do Sessions and Bannon support White Supremacy, they want to put women “back” where they belong. These are the ugliest attitudes to be sitting in the Whitehouse in decades. While Mr. Sasse rages against the leakers, he ignores the real “Gorilla” in the room: Donald Trump.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You may think that that is too strong, but let us look at just some of what is happening. The National Endowment for the Arts will be defunded. Planned Parenthood will lose all federal funding. His EPA Secretary denies that humans have anything to do with Global Warming, and will go along with the 26% budget cut in his agency. The State Department will lose 37% of its budget. At Education, Trump appointed a self-appointed advocate for the private school movement. The former Secretary of Labor candidate hated unions. 1,500 positions in the federal government have not been filled, and that does not include the 519 of the 543 positions that require Senate approval which are still empty. With Trumpcare, 15 million Americans will lose their health insurance. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>No, the bureaucratic guerrillas are exactly what we need.</span></div>

They gave up any interest in social change long ago. They are corporate representatives--that's all. On the Republican side, according to Dark Money, the donors give to the Koch brothers. Those two men control the money going everywhere. ALEC is their operation. They own most state legislatures, have made judges elected, have the majority of governors, and gerrymandered counties to make them Republican forever. Not only are the Democrats poor leaders and out of touch with reality, they offer their money to groups who come and competitively request it. The Democrats system is stupid, disorganized, basically pure window dressing. The fact that Bernie Sanders never joined the Democratic Party was part of the Republican's plan. He could be as extreme as he wanted to be. His purpose was just to give the victory to Trump. In fact, there is nothing anyone can do anything about the Trump Presidency. There was no real Stop Trump Movement. There were no twenty Electoral College Trump electors who were going to vote for Hillary. Most importantly, the Russian connections mean nothing. They are just what Trump calls them--fake news. The amounts of money involved are so large that no one in this coup de tat will do anything to stop it. Wilbur Ross, our new Commerce Secretary, one of two owners of the Cypress Bank that was used for Trump to sell a 40 million dollar home to a Russian oligarch for 100 million dollars. Think about the money that Rex Tillerson and Exxon will make when Russian sinctions are dropped. Exxon will make trillions from the 65 million acres of land that Putin leased to Exxon. Meanwhile, Stephen Bannon, and his gang of Cabinet Posts will eviscerate our government. They will not make any of of there 2,000 appointments that they have aovided, because there is no reason to manage a government that is over.</span></span>Lionspenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05435349681528768310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089411851880053042.post-46631609128839275672017-02-04T08:46:00.004-08:002017-02-04T11:38:47.575-08:00<h3>

<span style="font-size: large;">The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">With this statement, Trump proves that he has lost any attachment to reality and sanity. Let's look at his words.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> In the "Judge" Tweet, Trump shows all aspects of a lawless President. No President in the history of the United States would have called a sitting Federal Judge "so-called". It attacks the very standing and the status of the Judiciary. U.S. District Court Senior Judge James L. Robert was nominated to the bench by President George Bush. His appointment was approved by 99 Senators. Trump's words means that he dos not respect the laws of our nation. "So-called" is a snide, vicious, fascist remark. It smacks of demagoguery and dictatorship. Saying that a decision of a Federal Judge is "ridiculous" is ridiculous. No decisions by a Judge at this level is ridiculous. He may disagree with it. He may think that is is not appropriate, but using this term says much more about Trump than the judge. We do not live in a nation where the leaders of the three branches of our government call each other names. Trump has called Senator Schumer a "clown". This is all irrational, arrogant, and a sign of the incapacity to function in the real world of our government with respect and MUTUAL respect. What Trump has proven is that he will NOT cooperate with the Judiciary or the Legislative Branches of government. This is not an appropriate stance, and reflects either a treasonous bent or mental illness. Either, way he has to be impeached as soon as possible. Lastly, claiming that this Stay takes "law-enforcement away from our country" is advocacy for anarchy, yes one more treasonous statement. The law is the law, and Donald Trump is not the law of this country! </span><br />

When you hear about the tough phone calls I'm having, don't worry about it. Just don't worry about it. They're tough. We have to tough. It's time we're going to be a little tough folks. We're taking advantage of by every nation in the world virtually. It's not going to happen anymore. It's not going to happen anymore..." The point he is making is that he will continue to make destructive phone calls, continue to alienate our allies, and continue to make our citizens less safe both at home and over-seas. This is insanity. The United States constitute 5% of the world's population but consume 24% of the world's energy. So, the idea that the world has "taken advantage" of America is a lie! It is nuts. We are the colonial ruler for the world. When the national community created a fair and equitable distribution of newly discovered oil wealth in Gabon. Rex Tillerson approached the dictator, and offered him billions of dollars in royalties. The dictator, Ali Bongo Ondimba, loved the idea. So, he is becoming one of the richest people in the world, and Gabon continues to be one of the</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.24000000953674316px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> poorest countries in the world. Exxon is making billions, too. He is now your Secretary of State. So, we, America, is and has for decades been no differeent for the colonial powers from a hundred years ago,. We exploit countries, create poverty, and destroy the lives of millions. Trump's claim is not only not true, but it is irrational. His continuation as President presents us with a clear and present danger for our lives. He must resoign.</span></span></span></span></span>Lionspenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05435349681528768310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089411851880053042.post-14000748012227645272017-02-01T19:40:00.001-08:002017-02-01T19:41:03.823-08:00America has become a rogue nation<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.24000000953674316px;">America, in less than two weeks, has become a rogue nation. Over 20,000 travelers have been stopped in foreign airports from boarding. It as taken years for these people to reach the right and the Visas to come to the United States. Institutions and business throughout the country have had plans and hopes dashed. This is what Trump promised? We have the destroyed thousands of lives. Trump just insulted both the Prime Minister of Australia and the President of Mexico. In the end, his actions constitute treason for they are putting our nation and our citizens in eminent danger especially if they are military people depending on citizens of the banned states for support and aid. Trump will be removing all the sanctions against Russia and the treason will extend to the 65 millions acres of land leased to Exxon for drilling. White Supremacy is now the rule of the land.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Marc W. Kohler: The problem wasn't the reporters, it was Trump</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I write in response to Mark Patinkin's Jan. 13 column "Trump press turns into a chaotic mob."</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">According to the American Press Institute, journalism is "the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting news and information." It is "distinguished from other activities and products by certain identifiable characteristics and practices," which "not only separate journalism from other forms of communication" but "make it indispensable to democratic societies. History reveals that the more democratic a society, the more news and information it tends to have."</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Times; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">From the first day of his campaign, Donald Trump has spoken disdainfully of all the chores that journalists are required to do. He forced news agencies out of his press conferences. For a period of six months he refused to hold a press conference.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">With all of this, Mr. Patinkin harshly condemned the reporters at Trump's Jan. 11 press conference, one in which Trump insulted a reporter from CNN, and refused to take a question from him. Further, Mr. Trump allowed 250 reporters in the press conference room, but he also brought in a group of paid supporters to boo and cheer. So Mr. Patinkin may call these reporters a "mob," but the real evil here is everything Donald Trump has done and will do at the expense of journalistic freedom. No, the reporters were not a mob. Mr. Trump is a mob leader.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Introduction </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Over the past year, I have been fighting racism, incompetence, and fraud in the Providence School Department. Up until now, I have not been active in this “social/political” world. I was declared disabled in 2000 due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Clinical Depression, and a history of being fired from seven jobs because I objected actively to their immoral and illegal practices. Some would say that I am just a spoiled wealthy White Guy who has used the “system” to his advantage. Others might suggest that my maladies are real, and that </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">A friend challenged me recently about this struggle saying that it </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">was “arrogant” for a “White” person to speak for any minority population. She said that it offended her if I said, “African-Americans will do X…” So, in most cases in this essay, I am repeating what was said to me by <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">NOTE: </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">In this essay, I use “Black’, “Black Americans”, and </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">“African-American” interchangeably, but these are odd words. For instance, there is an established population of African-African Americans who were born and raised in <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place>, and have dark skin. So, if you bear with me, most of the words that we all use to deal with the problems of racism are, in fact, out-moded and in many ways corrupt. The term “Caucasian” was invented when a sociologist stated that ALL the races of the world were contained in seven categories before 1900<sup>1</sup>. Science has since proved that his distinctions were completely inaccurate, unscientific, and racist. Despite this, we continue to use the term “Caucasian” as if it meant something, when it expresses nothing. For the purposes of this essay, I prefer to use the term, European-Americans to describe people with light skin. Of course, this, too, is a limited term, since “light-skinned” people come from all over the world, too. So, granted my own confusion, I hope this adds to yours.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

What struck me was that I met no one who did not have problems with their parents, or their lovers or spouses, their neighbors, their pasts or their futures. In fact, everywhere I went people worried about the same things with sometimes different names (For example: The Rabbi, Priest, Minister who is “right”, “wrong”, “lazy”, “careless” or “wonderful”) We are all much more alike than different, more similar than dissimilar, and more the same then you know. It is our very similarities which make racism pointless and counterproductive for us as individuals and as a nation. Marc Kohler, January 2002. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">The answer is D)<sup>2</sup>. Yes, four million “others” were murdered as well. Why do we not know this? I do not know. My guess is that there was not one racial, national, or ethnic category that represents these four million people. That is, they were Christians, blacks, socialists, democrats, republicans, nationalists, pacifists, Greeks, Slavs, Italians, French, Spanish, Germans, Russians, women, men, children, homosexuals, heterosexuals, educated, uneducated, and…and…and, well you get my point—four million people. In fact, all of these distinctions also apply to those six million who were called “Jews” since this term was often applied to people whom the Gestapo just did not like. So, if anyone asks, Hitler exterminated ten million human beings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">The answer is D)<sup>3</sup> again. “Thirty Million”—no, you did not know that. Why, most likely because to this day historians have hid this fact, Japanese educators drop it out of history books, and because there has been lots of reasons why we “good old Americans” have not wanted to bring up this “problem”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">It’s D)<sup>4</sup> again! Now, when were Hitler and Allen Dulles born? 1889 and 1893, respectively. Therefore, as teenagers, they were aware of these massacres, genocides, and horrific crimes because the atrocities were reported in the press throughout the world. It was not only general knowledge; it was considered “no big deal”. Why did Theodore Roosevelt ask what we should do about the “White Man’s Burden”? <sup>5</sup> First and foremost, he knew that suffering was occurring on a scale never before seen in the world, and he thought mistakenly that his skin color actually made the difference. The only difference was that European and American colonial powers had the technology for lethal force, and used it with abandon, entertainment, and genocidal success throughout Asia, South America, Africa, <st1:place w:st="on">North America</st1:place>, and any where else in the world where they wanted to—ultimately against their own people!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">For every dollar that King Leopold spent in the Congo, he (not his nation or national treasury since he “owned” the Congo in the same way that you own your clothes) received back five dollars—a 500% return on investment. Oh, there were costs. The population of the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Congo</st1:place></st1:country-region> dropped from twenty million people in 1880 to ten million in 1920<sup>6</sup>. Civilizations that had existed for thousands of years were literally wiped off of the map in a mere forty years. Have amends been made for this? No. Will they ever be made? No, but this pamphlet’s purpose is start a discussion of making amends. This pamphlet is about describing what is real, how we got here, and what the heck we are going to do about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">What if Hitler had only paid “lip service” to his “Final Solution”, and kept the people he wanted dead alive and well enough to contribute to the economic and intellectual life of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Germany</st1:place></st1:country-region>? <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Germany</st1:place></st1:country-region> would have won the war, and we would be speaking German.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">3. As the sufferings of this oppressed group continues, make drugs and alcohol readily available to alleviate the stress and secure their image as “ne’er-do-wells”. Let prostitution flourish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">5. Like Hitler, you will have to use “Lethal Force”, “Extreme Prejudice”, “Executive Action”, or whatever term you want to use for officially condoned murder. Mix in riots, lynchings, maiming, starving, and other physical distress just to keep the pot brewing in your favor. Kill not only their leaders, but the man on the street as well. Use the young oppressed against the old. Pit workers against students—make sure, no one finds out what you are doing---then, you will out-do Hitler---no, you won’t need gas chambers when you have thousands of acres of red-lined neighborhoods are available to you.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Science? Yes, how does science describe, explain, and define human existence and race?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Again, since this is a pamphlet, so this is going to go by real fast. How are human beings made? Well, the sperm from a male human fertilizes an egg of a woman human. In fact, we have become adept at not even requiring bodies for this process. Still, what is the "it" that happens in this union—well, the DNA from the woman merges with the DNA from the man to create a “new” independent creature—a fetus. This “fetus”, if circumstances allow, will “grow” into a human being. Again, what determines what this fetus will become? First and primarily, DNA. Alter the DNA, and you alter the future person. Remove the DNA, and you have no person. Certainly pre-natal care, nutrition, and health of the mother will impact on the health of the child. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Now, please sit down, ‘cause this is the thing science has proven—all humans are 99.999% exactly the same<sup>8</sup>. Only one one hundred thousandth of our DNA determines our sex, skin color, facial structure, hair color, skeletal size, foot size, <b><i>etc.etc.etc.</i></b> I am suggesting that declaring that humans are "different" would be like claiming differences in two houses built exactly the same way from 100,000 bricks each, and making the observation that one of the bricks (one and only one) was different from one other brick in the other house. Even an unreasonable person could see that what we are as human beings has nothing to do with what we see, but has everything to do with how we are built..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Let’s look at “seeing” itself for a second. Hinduism teaches that the world is all “Maya”, not real and only an illusion of God’s expression into our world of the senses. These Hindus might be right. Rub your thumb and finger together; you think that the thumb touches the finger. Such is not the case, though. According to science, what is happening is that the atoms in the thumb have the same electrical charge as those in your finger. Therefore, they push away at each other. You “feel” it only because the electrical/nerve path from your hand to you brain “tells” you that touch is occurring. Therefore, when you see an object, you can see only within the limits of the light being reflected from the object that you are looking at. So, what is real is not, it is just an incredible arrangement of atoms and molecules. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">It sounds absurd, but we are nothing more and nothing less than beings that convert heat and fuel into energy and electrical impulses. All of this occurs at a level that you and I cannot see, cannot touch, and least of all, cannot judge. Who is to say that the electrical/biological activity in one human body is better or superior to another human being? The fact is that “better”, “superior”, and such refers to only what we can see and touch, not anywhere near what we really, actually, and scientifically are. Our actual selves are nothing, and they are everything. Anything else is window dressing. Skin, material goods, housing, clothes, restaurants, sports events, grades, schools, offices, hair fashions, deodorant are all irrelevant to who and what we are. Why? Because if we accepted the truth about ourselves, we would give up this insane civilization, make apologies to millions of “primitive” people that our ancestors and we (3 million people have been murdered in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Congo</st1:place></st1:country-region> over the past five years, and you and I have heard NOTHING about it) murdered and start everything all over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">This one is easy. All religions that I have studied teach that hatred and rage, if tolerated at all, are worthy of God, but not of man. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, BaHai, Mormonism, Catholicism, Zen, Hinduism, Wicca, and many that I cannot think of teach that peace and harmony are the goals of human life. Jesus, who was a Gnostic Jew</span><sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">9</span></sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">, said, “You should love your neighbor”, the exact words from Leviticus (19:18). He said “Love”—not “like”, not “tolerate”, not “understand”. The commandment is uncompromising. I would add, “Love first, and ask questions later”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">The White Aryan “Christian” Identity Movement represents the antithesis of everything that is holy, and if you sit and do nothing about it, then you are their ally, and that is why racism grows every day in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>—not because of those idiots, but because of our silence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Here, the answer is easy—people of color stand out. The darker your skin color, the more you stand out in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>. William Glasser</span><sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">10 </span></sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">suggested that to be mentally healthy, a human must be able to love, have the ability to </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">be loved, and must live by a code. Sounds simple, but men like Abraham Maslow suggested that we need more—we need to “self-actualize”<sup>1</sup><sup>1</sup>, one of the stupidest terms ever invented. No human has ever self-actualized or actualized alone ever in the history of the world. First, we need air pressure, balanced molecules, gravity, oxygen, friction (Where WOULD we be without friction?), and a billion other particles, molecules, and fellow humans and animals and trees just to stay alive. Does Nietzsche's Superman where pants? If he does, then in what style are they cut? The clothed person is immediately the acculturated person—they have a past, they have language (which limits their ability to express those things for which their language has no words) they have parents, a history, their forbearers and their forbearers' choices, and…and...NO PERSON IS AN <st1:place w:st="on">ISLAND</st1:place>, WE ARE ALL HERE NOW TOGETHER, AND WE WERE BROUGHT HERE BY OUR MUTUAL PAST.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">So, let’s learn some more history. After the Civil War, the lives of freed slaves were extremely difficult. Sharecropping was less reliable than plantation life. If former slaves moved, they encountered racism <b>everywhere</b> they went. Violence against Blacks continued just as it had BEFORE the Civil War, or as Southerners insist, “The War Between the States”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Riots, lynchings, burnings, maimings, and torture, started long before the War and have stayed with us ever since. Just look it up. Our amnesia is no excuse for stupidity. “These (riots) were also acts of outright repression, usually surrounding slavery and abolition...During this time, 70% of America’s cities holding 20,000 or more people experienced major civil disorder. There were 147 riots in 1835 alone...they covered the gamut of mob activity. 35 were against abolitionists, 11 in response to imagined slave insurrections, 15 of them were race riots: 11 against blacks, 3 to help fugitive slaves, and one by blacks…”</span><sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">12<o:p></o:p></span></sup></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">From 1870-1920, though, many Black communities rose up all across our country. The middle class black professional was not an exception. A parallel universe existed. In <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Wilmington</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">North Carolina</st1:state></st1:place>, by 1898, the Blacks outnumbered Whites 14,000 to 10,000, and the city offices were being integrated led by Fusionists, Republicans, and Progressives. On November 10, 1898, a planned “riot” by the Democrats brought flames to the Black community, death to Blacks and Whites, and the Black population dropped to below 9,000. The newly elected Mayor and City Counsel were thrown out of office—no, this was not a riot—it was a coup.</span><sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">14</span></sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"> You probably do not know it, but the depression t from 1895-1905 was, in many ways, worse than the Crash of 1929. Whites suffered tremendously from economic forces over which they had no control. These established Black hamlets became the targets of their frustrations. A whole viable way of life, an <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on"><b><i>American</i></b> Way</st1:address></st1:street> of Life, was destroyed and murdered intentionally.<sup>11</sup> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Then, after the Depression, the banking system was in shambles. One way to rebuild was to prevent individuals from having too much control of any single banking enterprise. This would mean new banking laws, new banking corporations, and a new “thriftiness” The core of this “new thriftiness” was Redlining. Lending institutions all over the country drew red lines around poor and/or marginal neighborhoods. At the time, these neighborhoods were poor Irish Americans, poor Italian Americans, poor French Americans, poor Polish Americans, poor African Americans, poor German Americans, and any other immigrant populations. Red lining meant that no private mortgages could be written to ANYONE on properties within these lines. With the deft</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">flip of a pen, American banks commercialized thousands and thousands of acres of land without one zoning board meeting, without one legislative act, and without the consent or approval of the governed.<sup>1</sup></span><sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">3</span></sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">If a private mortgage cannot be written for a property, then it can either not be sold (vacant properties) or sold for cash (Absentee landlords). Drive around any urban community, and you can tell exactly where these “RED LINES” were drawn. This system of the direct destruction of our neighborhoods lasted well in to the 1970s, over forty years. Today, it still occurs, and even though it has been outlawed, it remains the number one reason why we have segregated poor ghettoes filled with minority and poor Americans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">What can a White Guy like me do? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">To me, this is a funny question. If the Genome Project is right, then I am 99.999% human and only .001% “white”. So, we need to truly identify the problem. You see, minority individuals have no real or intrinsic problems. We, the bums on top, create the problems for them. It is sad, but the darker your skin color, the odds of you being in the bottom echelon of your society anywhere in the world is high. No, people should not have to fight for their rights. Rights are rights, and nothing, not skin color, cranium shape, hair color, or any other <b><i>irrelevant </i></b>aspect of a persons physiology should deprive a person of their rights. Yes, through the legal process, individuals can “lose” certain rights. Yes, they can be imprisoned. Still, seriously, I have yet to attend the court sessions where it was declared that if you were not a “White American”, you had lost you rights.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Therefore, if I see a person practicing racism, why can’t I stand up and say, “HEY! THAT’S WRONG.” You see, if the person being victimized is a person of color, a disabled American, or a person who stutters, it does not matter. What is wrong is wrong is wrong is wrong. That’s all there is. Prejudice and racism make our resources as a nation less than what they would be without them. We are a “smaller” society if we stand by and do nothing <i>about the wrongs</i> right in front of our eyes. So, yes, we White Guys and Gals can work seriously for equal rights for all Americans. In fact, if you become aware of child abuse, you are breaking the law if you do not do something about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">When you and I look at an person who is “not-white”, we cannot help but fall back on all of our trained, conditioned, compulsive, knee-JERK, foolish, short-sighted, absurd, and unscientific ways. No matter what the courts decide, or what the police can do, or any other law enforcement agency can do, it is up to us to change—we are wrong. We are wrong. We have been wrong for centuries and centuries. We are wrong when we get up in the morning, and when we go to bed at night. We sit back and make all-white television shows the highpoint of our week.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">1. Stop hating. No, I mean it. Stop hating anyone that you hate. Hate is, in fact, nothing more than the inability to gain perspective and potency in your relationship with your world and the people in it. You hate your sister because she brought dandelions to your wedding twenty-five years ago, but the real reason has do with your mutual and somewhat confused relationship with your drunkard mother-beating father. All hatred is corrupt at the root. Problems are solved, even on the battlefield, without hatred. The best fighters and doers fight and do FOR things, not against others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">2. Realize that if you have prejudice or racist feelings, realize that you are being used. By whom? First, by the forces and people who are in control. Reactionary corporate forces to divert attention from what they were doing on a national and international level created both the violent racist movement and the violent anti-abortion. You are being used the same way that Romanian Dictator used the “farmers” when he brought them in to club protestors. The Klan kept the Democrats and plantation owners in power in the South. Remember the mob (disgruntled White Democrats) burned out, and murdered the black citizens of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Wilmington</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">North Carolina</st1:state></st1:place> because the majority of the city was Black, Republican, or Progressive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">3. Make a friend who is of a different color than you. That is “friend”, not “acquaintance”, not “neighbor”, and definitely not the “I have a Black friend” friend. Why not adopt people who are different than you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">4. Acknowledge the theft and destruction of resources, ideas, creations, lives, hopes, dreams, religions, values, social structures, and ways of life of millions and millions of indigenous peoples throughout the world over the past five hundred years. Support the idea of turning Columbus Day into <b>Columbus-Taino Day </b>to honor the Taino tribe that disappeared from the face of the earth after the arrival of the three little ships. Support reparations and engage those who don’t with the question: How many more millions must die before we make things right? Look, Elvis Presley became what he became because the record companies wanted a “back voice” without the “black skin". The <st1:city w:st="on">Charleston</st1:city> started at the Savoy Ballroom in <st1:place w:st="on">Harlem</st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">5. Patronize local stores. Stop supporting large chains. Realize that small business, locally owned and operated, has been and will always be the rock bed of prosperity for our country. This way, people of every color can pursue their dreams by owning their own businesses. Put McDonalds, Wal-Mart, and all the rest out of business. Pay a bit more to save more over the long term. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">6. Go live or spend a lot of time in the local “ghetto”. No, it is not so far away either in distance or in style. Find out first hand what it is like to live in a world complete and totally structured against you. Realize that the “ghetto” is not really a ghetto for one color—realize that ALL colored people live in our poor neighborhoods, and they ALL need your help, power, potency, and wealth. They cannot do it on their own. Too much of the deck has been stacked against them. This is NOT their fault. It is our forbearers fault, and here and now, we can start to reverse and make amends for what they have done not to the ethnic populations but to us, and our world—think of the thousands upon thousands of people who could have or would have contributed directly to your life, and your happiness, and your dreams if, if ,if they had been given one chance to do so!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">7. Take a local person of color to the bank and see if you can help them get a business loan. You will be shocked at what you hear and see. You will simply not believe it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">8. Give up your political views, and commit todiscovering <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">the truth about the history of the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Find out that every time <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lincoln</st1:place></st1:city></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"> ordered a Draft, hundreds of Blacks died in riots in major cities in the north—Yes, the Civil War was about and only about about slavery—nothing else is accurate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">9. Start acting color-blind. When you meet a new person look them in the eye. Shake their hand. Listen intently to what they have to say. Think more about them than yourself. Consider immediately not “What can this person do for me”, but rather think: “What can I do for this person.” Soon, faces will look differently to you. Even your friends will look different. You will see pain and joy that you have never seen before. You will, in fact, become responsible (The ability to respond authentically to the people and the world around you.) In this way, you will discover the wealth that you possess in your soul, and the wealth you have in your family and loved ones, the wealth, and potency you can bring to you friends and community. Without adding one penny to your bank account, you will become one of the richest people in the world. Here is a real stretch: If your children are grown, adopt a bright high school student who has no support, and provide for him or her as if they were your own child. (Ghandho sggested this to a Hindu family adopting an Islamic orphan, that they bring hp, up in a Islamic way)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"> Well, I have more ideas, but I am running out of space. I guess the idea I want to impress upon you is that all the people who you think are different are not different. Know that volunteerism and your personal choices will make more of a difference than any government program. Volunteerism is, and has always been the source of real change for centuries—the first doctors and nurses were volunteers! Racism is just an uninformed, lazy way of looking at the world. Stop racism, and you move towards spiritual wealth beyond your wildest dreams. There are millions of people who have been shut out of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>—welcome them in, <i>do it every day</i>, and your children and their children and their children will thank you!</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

He has appointed a Bank thief at Treasury, a medical care opponent at Health, a completely and uneducated person at Education, and the list goes on. Here is what you need to know. This is a revival of the Civil War that was never won and never lost. President Lincoln was killed by Northerners who acted at the direction of the Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton. His group of fanatic Southern haters wanted Lincoln dead, because of his kind and generous expectations for after the war. The fanatics who killed Lincoln instituted a vicious and ugly Reconstruction for the ten years after the war which denied White Southerners the vote. The this was stopped in 1877, and the South was allowed to reek vengeance on every Black person living in the South. Those who escaped have experienced for 150 years WORSE racism than they experienced in the South according to Martin Luther King in 1967. So, the Civil War was NOT about slavery, for at no time did the North ever do anything of substance for the Black American diaspora, and Mr. Trump has capitalized on that hatred and with with Alt Right Nazi's won the Presidency.

<span style="font-size: small;">Lincoln's Plan</span></h2>
<div style="color: #515050; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Even before the war ended, President Lincoln began the task of restoration. Motivated by a desire to build a strong Republican party in the South and to end the bitterness engendered by war, he issued (Dec. 8, 1863) a proclamation of amnesty and reconstruction for those areas of the Confederacy occupied by Union armies. It offered pardon, with certain exceptions, to any Confederate who would swear to support the Constitution and the Union. Once a group in any conquered state equal in number to one tenth of that state's total vote in the presidential election of 1860 took the prescribed oath and organized a government that abolished slavery, he would grant that government executive recognition.</div>
<div style="color: #515050; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Lincoln's plan aroused the sharp opposition of the radicals in Congress, who believed it would simply restore to power the old planter aristocracy. They passed (July, 1864) the Wade-Davis Bill, which required 50% of a state's male voters to take an "ironclad" oath that they had never voluntarily supported the Confederacy. Lincoln's pocket veto kept the Wade-Davis Bill from becoming law, and he implemented his own plan. By the end of the war it had been tried, not too successfully, in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Virginia. Congress, however, refused to seat the Senators and Representatives elected from those states, and by the time of Lincoln's assassination the President and Congress were at a stalemate.</div>

Donald Trump and Stephen Bannon triggered what will grow into a race war. Every time Trump stated that he dos not know, or would repudiate, or had never heard of David Duke and White Supremacy were all lies. In fact, every time he said those words, every racist in this country knew that a new era had opened. If anyone really took the time to see what Bannon has been doing of the past 25 years, you would know that he is irrational, crazy, and believes that all women should be at home as homemakers. He admits that the Alt Right has racists and Jew haters. He wants to literally tear down everything in America that does not help to create the white male dominated 1950s. They support the self-deportation of all non-Europeans from the country This is the holocaust for ALL Americans, There is no way anyone can give these insane racists a chance. More to come later...I will post this on my real Blog: Progressiveliberaltruths,blogspot.com</span>Lionspenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05435349681528768310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089411851880053042.post-75568651985573300942014-01-26T07:07:00.000-08:002014-01-26T07:07:06.358-08:00<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #37404e; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">What Happened to the American Dream: </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #37404e; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">People have failed to accurately describe what happened since the repeal of the Glass/Steagall Act.

It is fictional because they were modeled after municipal bonds which paid off ONLY IF THE CITY WENT INTO BANKRUPTCY. When these bonds we're conceived, the idea of a city going bankrupt was inconceivable. The taking down of the wall between savings and investment banking created the situation where ten million mortgages were used to create "mortgage backed" securities (stocks). What no one want you to know is that ALL these mortgages went to 13% after two years, and everybody, every institution, every mortgage officer, every bank KNEW that they were all (so far, 95%) into foreclosure. Millions lost billions invested in the stocks backed by these fraudulent mortgages. BUT.....Credit Default Swap Bond holders have been paid out over 45 TRILLION DOLLARS!! The only way to understand this is if you ca see what this theft was equal to. It is equal to the destruction of our nation from a foreign invasion that stole all of the money in all of our banks. To add to this destruction, the banks got the Federal Reserve to use 85 billion/month to buy these losses from the banks. Those "purchases" of bad investments has been called a "STIMULUS" to the economy, and every financial reporter in the nation has reported that NONE of that money has reached American businesses. Al Lewis, in the Wall Street Journal wrote that these trillions will be used for large leveraged buy outs over the next 18 months, for a consolidation of corporation control of America. We lost the American Dream to thieves, liars, and corporate pirates. It is time that someone told us the truth--our nation is not owned by Americans anymore. We are a mere moribund relic which will have a 45% poverty rate by 2020.</span>Lionspenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05435349681528768310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089411851880053042.post-67351491389436950572013-01-01T22:25:00.000-08:002013-01-01T22:25:05.422-08:00Here is a copy of recently Letter to the Editor of the in September 2012. After my pst are two VERY imporatnt artcles added to help explain what I have written:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">How
Credit Default Swap Bonds Caused the American Fiscal Disaster, and Why? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Introduction<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Here
is an essay which I hope will help you to understand the financial crisis here
in the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">USA</st1:place></st1:country-region>. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I wrote it for the editor of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Providence</st1:city></st1:place> Journal. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I had sent it to the paper several
times, but he never saw it. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Finally,
after a few phone messages, he asked me to send it directly to him. The point o
the essay is that the fiscal crisis was a plan to move trillions of dollars out
of our economy and into the hands of about 25,000 people I am not going to edit
it now, but if I did, I would add the following two points. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">1) <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Last week, the government of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:country-region w:st="on">Italy</st1:country-region><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>had to deal with a terrible crisis
created by London Banks through the sale of Credit Default Swap Bonds--the key
to what happened in the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>starting 13 years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">2) <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Al Lewis reported two weeks ago that
Fed Chairman Bernanke testified to Congress that the Fed was going to spend 40
Billion dollars a month to buy up all the bad mortgages that banks created and
are still holding. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>This is
big news. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>He also reported
on the fact that the Obama administration had decided not to follow up on any
of the illegal back practices of the past decade. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">There are two people who do agree with my
analysis of Credit Default Swap Bonds: Mr. Anthony Santa Barbara and President
Obama.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Mr. Santa Barbara confirmed everything in this
essay, and agreed that the CDSB were tested with Enron. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>So, buyers of these bonds at that time
knew that Enron was going to crash—therefore, they made $30 for every $1 they
invested in CDSBs backed by Enron stock. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>That is when the flow of trillions of
dollars started to leave our economy and go into he hands of CDSB holders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">President Obama made a specific reference to
these Bonds during his first press conference, and here is what he said:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">QUESTION: Thank you,
Mr. President. In your opening remarks, you talked about that if your plan
works the way you want it to work, it's going to increase consumer spending.
But isn't consumer spending, or over-spending, how we got into this mess? And
if people get money back into their pockets, do you not want them saving it or
paying down debt first, before they start spending money into the economy?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">MR. OBAMA: Well, first
of all, I don't think it's accurate to say that consumer spending got us into
this mess. What got us into this mess initially were banks taking exorbitant,
wild risks with other people's monies, based on shaky assets. And because of
the enormous leverage, where they had $1 worth of assets and they were betting
$30 on that $1, what we had was a crisis in the financial system.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Finally, to truly
understand my work, you have to Undset and Credit Default Swap Bonds. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Here is an article that Janet
Morrissey wrote for Time Magazine in March of 2008. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>It puts things in perspective, so you
can understand better what I am trying to say.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">So, without any more introductions, here is the
essay that I tried to get to you since<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">January.\<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Well,
here is the essay. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I hope
you enjoy it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Sixty Minutes did an article about the
foreclosure crisis which did more to hide the truth than it told. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>This article does not tell the whole
truth. These foreclosures were part of a three part plan to shift the future of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I have coined the phrase THE NEW URBAN
RENEWAL to name this Plan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Plan Step #1:</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>To move about 50 to 75 trillion

would lose ALL their investors their money. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The Credit Default Bonds, as Morrissey
writes, were based on the possibility of the stocks backed by the mortgages

they invested. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>This means
that the trillions of dollars paid out by the Bond writers, which almost put
AIG and all the other collaborators out of business. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The amount of money shifted out of our
economy represents the largest theft in the history of the world. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>That money will NEVER come back to<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Hedge funds buying Bonds to save<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Greece</st1:place></st1:country-region><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>in the first round last year were

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">The impact over the world, all the bad
mortgages backed stocks that the makers knew were going to go bad, cost stock
holders all over the world billions. s failing. For every dollar invested in
CDBS pays the holder 30-40 dollars. That means that a foreclosure of a $100,000
pays the CDNS holder $3,000,000. President Obama mentions this is his first
Press Conference, but no one has reported on it except Morrissey. This process
has not been stopped and its aims have been accomplished<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Plan Step #2</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>To demolish and clear the thousands of
acres of “Red-Lined” neighborhoods (Slums) to create, for banks, the largest
land sell off in the history of the world. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Since American investors know that
they make little or nothing investing in American real estate, most of these
acres will be sold to cash rich world citizens who need a safe and secure

will be their home while their own countries fall into chaos, oppression, and

of this plan. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The bill
would have given almost unlimited visas to people from foreign countries who
bought houses here for $500,000 or more with cash. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The bill failed, but be assured; there
are twenty other bills that you will not hear about that will accomplish the
same purpose. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>This is at a
time in our history when National Public Broadcasting’s show Need to Know
reported last week that 33% of Americans are now living at or below the poverty
level. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Will this plan
change that? <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>No. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Is it too late to change it? <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I think it is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;"> As Bear Stearns
careened toward its eventual fire sale to JPMorgan Chase last weekend, the cost
of protecting its debt, through an instrument called a credit default swap,
began to rise rapidly as investors feared that Bear would not be good for the
money it promised on its bonds. Not familiar with credit default swaps? Well,
we didn't know much about collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) either — until
they began to undermine the economy. Credit default swaps, once an obscure
financial instrument for banks and bondholders, could soon become the eye of
the credit hurricane. Fun, huh?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">The CDS market exploded
over the past decade to more than $45 trillion in mid-2007, according to the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association. This is roughly twice the size
of the U.S. stock market (which is valued at about $22 trillion and falling)
and far exceeds the $7.1 trillion mortgage market and $4.4 trillion U.S.
treasuries market, notes Harvey Miller, senior partner at Weil, Gotshal &
Manges. "It could be another — I hate to use the expression — nail in the
coffin," said Miller, when referring to how this troubled CDS market could
impact the country's credit crisis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Credit default swaps
are insurance-like contracts that promise to cover losses on certain securities
in the event of a default. They typically apply to municipal bonds, corporate
debt and mortgage securities and are sold by banks, hedge funds and others. The
buyer of the credit default insurance pays premiums over a period of time in
return for peace of mind, knowing that losses will be covered if a default
happens. It's supposed to work similarly to someone taking out home insurance
to protect against losses from fire and theft.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Except that it doesn't.
Banks and insurance companies are regulated; the credit swaps market is not. As
a result, contracts can be traded — or swapped — from investor to investor
without anyone overseeing the trades to ensure the buyer has the resources to
cover the losses if the security defaults. The instruments can be bought and
sold from both ends — the insured and the insurer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">All of this makes it
tough for banks to value the insurance contracts and the securities on their
books. And it comes at a time when banks are already reeling from write-downs
on mortgage-related securities. "These are the same institutions that
themselves have either directly or through subsidiaries invested in the
subprime market," said Andrea Pincus, partner at Reed Smith LLP.
"They're suffering losses all over the place," and now they face
potentially more losses from the CDS market.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Indeed, commercial
banks are among the most active in this market, with the top 25 banks holding
more than $13 trillion in credit default swaps — where they acted as either the
insured or insurer — at the end of the third quarter of 2007, according to the
Comptroller of the Currency, a federal banking regulator. JP Morgan Chase,
Citibank, Bank of America and Wachovia were ranked among the top four most
active, it said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Credit default swaps
were seen as easy money for banks when they were first launched more than a
decade ago. Reason? The economy was booming and corporate defaults were few
back then, making the swaps a low-risk way to collect premiums and earn extra
cash. The swaps focused primarily on municipal bonds and corporate debt in the
1990s, not on structured finance securities. Investors flocked to the swaps in
the belief that big corporations would seldom go bust in such flourishing
economic times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">The CDS market then
expanded into structured finance, such as CDOs, that contained pools of
mortgages. It also exploded into the secondary market, where speculative
investors, hedge funds and others would buy and sell CDS instruments from the
sidelines without having any direct relationship with the underlying
investment. "They're betting on whether the investments will succeed or
fail," said Pincus. "It's like betting on a sports event. The game is
being played and you're not playing in the game, but people all over the
country are betting on the outcome."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">But as the economy
soured and the subprime credit crunch began expanding into other credit areas
over the past year, CDS investors became jittery. They wondered if the parties
holding the CDS insurance after multiple trades would have the financial
wherewithal to pay up in the event of mass defaults. "In the past six to
eight months, there's been a deterioration in market liquidity and the ability
to get willing buyers for structured finance securities," causing the values
of the securities to fall, said Glenn Arden, a partner at Jones Day who heads
up the firm's worldwide securitization practice and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">New
York</st1:state></st1:place><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>derivative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">The situation is
already taking a toll on insurers, who have been forced to write down the value
of their CDS portfolios. American International Group, the world's largest
insurer, recently reported the biggest loss in the company's history largely
due to an $11 billion writedown on its CDS holdings. Even Swiss Reinsurance
Co., the industry's largest reinsurer, took CDS writedowns in the fourth
quarter and warned of more to come in the first quarter of 2008.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Monoline bond insurance
companies, such as MBIA and Ambac Financial Group Inc., have been hit the
hardest as they scramble to raise capital to cover possible defaults and to
stave off a downgrade from the ratings agencies. It was this group's foray out
of its traditional municipal bonds and into mortgage-backed securities that
caused the turmoil. A rating downgrade of the monoline companies could be devastating
for banks and others who bought insurance protection from them to cover their
corporate bond exposure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">The situation is
exacerbated by the heavy trading volume of the instruments, the secrecy
surrounding the trades, and — most importantly — the lack of regulation in this
insurance contract business. "An original CDS can go through 15 or 20
trades," said Miller. "So when a default occurs, the so-called
insured party or hedged party doesn't know who's responsible for making up the
default and if that end player has the resources to cure the default."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Prakash Shimpi,
managing principal at Towers Perrin, downplays this risk, noting that
contractual law requires both parties to inform and get approval from the other
before selling the CDS policy to someone else. "These transactions don't
take place on a handshake," he said. Still, being unregulated, there is no
standard contract, no standard capital requirements, and no standard way of
valuating securities in these transactions. As a result, Pincus said she
wouldn't be surprised to see a surge in litigation as defaults start happening.
"There's a lot of outcry right now for more regulation and more
transparency," said Pincus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">A meltdown in the CDS
market has potentially even wider ramifications nationwide than the subprime
crisis. If bond insurance disappears or becomes too costly, lenders will become
even more cautious about making loans, and this could impact everyone from
mortgage-seekers to municipalities that need money to fix roads and build
schools. "We're seeing players in all of those spaces being more
circumspect about whose credit they're going to guarantee and what exactly the
credit obligation is," said Ellen Marshall, partner at Manatt, Phelps
& Phillips LLP.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Shimpi admits a
meltdown or even a slowdown in the CDS market would affect the amount and cost
of liquidity in the market. However, he dismisses concerns that municipalities
and others seeking capital could be left in the dust. "Even if the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>takes a hit, there are other markets
in the world that have different dynamics, and capital flows are
international," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16pt;">Still, most agree the
potential repercussions are far-reaching. "It's the ripple effects, the
domino effects" that are worrisome, said Pincus. "I think it's [going
to be] one of the next shoes to fall" in the credit crisis. Miller said
the subprime debacle, rising unemployment, record-high oil prices, and now CDS
market troubles "have all the makings of the perfect storm.... There are
some economists who say this could be another 1929 — but I don't believe
it," he said. "We have a lot of safeguards built into the system that
did not exist in 1929 and 1930." None of them, though, are directly
targeted at CDS. On Wall Street, innovators are always ahead of regulators. And
that can sometimes have a very steep price.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

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,

Americans insignificant to the creation of greater profits. If you invested in

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

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Sixty Minutes did an article about the
foreclosure crisis which did more to hide the truth than it told. This article does not tell the whole truth.
These foreclosures were part of a three part plan to shift the future of <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country>. I have coined the phrase THE NEW URBAN
RENEWAL to name this Plan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Plan
Step #1:</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"> To move about 50 to 75
trillion dollars from our economy to the hands of very few. First, please read <u>Time Magazine</u> for
March of 2008 article by Janet Morrissey about Credit Default Swap Bonds. It
explains that millions of sub-prime mortgages were designed to go up to 13%
after two years. The stocks backed by
these mortgages would lose ALL their investors their money. The Credit Default Bonds, as Morrissey
writes, were based on the possibility of the stocks backed by the mortgages
would go bad. They were modeled after
municipal bonds which are guaranteed and insured. So, if a city goes bankrupt the Bond holders
would have to be paid and would have to be paid at thirty times what they
invested. This means that the trillions
of dollars paid out by the Bond writers, which almost put AIG and all the other
collaborators out of business. The
amount of money shifted out of our economy represents the largest theft in the
history of the world. That money will
NEVER come back to <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country>. Hedge funds buying Bonds to save <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Greece</st1:place></st1:country> in the
first round last year were guaranteed an 18% return—what investment in ANY
American business will ever be able to pay those returns? Right now, hedge funds control every <st1:place w:st="on">Cocoa</st1:place> crop in the work for the next ten years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">The impact over the world, all the bad
mortgages backed stocks that the makers knew were going to go bad, cost stock
holders all over the world billions. s failing. For every dollar invested in
CDBS pays the holder 30-40 dollars. That means that a foreclosure of a $100,000
pays the CDNS holder $3,000,000. President Obama mentions this is his first
Press Conference, but no one has reported on it except Morrissey. This process
has not been stopped and its aims have been accomplished <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Plan
Step #2</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"> To demolish and clear
the thousands of acres of “Red-Lined” neighborhoods (Slums) to create, for banks,
the largest land sell off in the history of the world. Since American investors know that they make
little or nothing investing in American real estate, most of these acres will
be sold to cash rich world citizens who need a safe and secure country to live
and prosper. This will be their home
while their own countries fall into chaos, oppression, and revolutions. The failed </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Lee-Schumer bill is the
best example of this plan. The bill
would have given almost unlimited visas to people from foreign countries who
bought houses here for $500,000 or more with cash. The bill failed, but be assured; there are
twenty other bills that you will not hear about that will accomplish the same
purpose. This is at a time in our
history when National Public Broadcasting’s show Need to Know reported last
week that 33% of Americans are now living at or below the poverty level. Will this plan change that? No. Is
it too late to change it? I think it is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">Plan
Step #3</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">The Third steps in this plan cover the obvious
and less obvious. In fact, we can really
only speculate on what dimensions of our current reality were part of the
initial plan. I can only speculate on
some of these last aspects of the Banking/Wall Street Financial Plan for <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country>
initiated as I described in 1998 to 1999.

wastelands. The CBS show discussed the
demolition of homes, and the landscaping of the lots with grasslands. These “open spaces” still have a tiny number
of homes still standing, but the homeowners are not paying their mortgages, and
expect to be evicted at some point in the future. This land represents billions of dollars of
potential income for the banks that have ended up owning them. Here are the possibilities that I have read
about:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;">The concentration of wealth gives hedge fund managers assets to
control future commodity markets that shut out competition and normal market
limitations on risk and control. A year
ago, it was reported in the news that hedge funds owned all the futures on cocoa
beans for the next ten years. This means
that the funds will control the coat of chocolate for the next ten years, and
most likely forever, because their funds continue to grow daily. Payments to Credit Default Swap Bond holders
have not stopped. and will not stop. They are not going to be stopped, and
below is an article that describes the Department of Justice reluctance to do
anything about correcting these derivatives or punish Wall Street for creating
them. My guess is that a massive amount
of wealth in these funds “buys” anyone—Democrat, Republican. President or Senator. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The last possible area of the use of these massive
assets has much more sinister goals. Some
writers think that the money will create “private” armies both in the <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country>
and thereabout the world. For instance,
hedge funds have been involved in creating mercenaries groups used by the <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country>
to protect American embassies. MPR
reported that the American Embassy in <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Iraq</st1:place></st1:country> has 16,000 employees: 11, 000 with the Embassy, and 5,000 paid
military personnel from a private contractors.
Within the United States, Chuck Norris (Not a politician, but an
“entertainers’”) said that there were over 1,000 militias armed and ready to be
mobilized in case a national “crisis”.
With what we have seen owned by individuals, we can speculate without a
doubt that we are talking about thousands of weapons and millions of rounds of
ammunition. This is the one goal that I
know the least about.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
