The "Big Boys" (the Oligarchs) have resisted for centuries

The Oligarchs will continue to kill Americans in huge numbers
and ruin countless lives in the process

JetBlue trying to buy Spirit Airlines

"We are confident that our merger with Spirit
will give a much-needed boost to airline competition in the US
and result in more low fares and higher-quality service for customers.
"

If you believe that, then you are beyond hope.
Any Econ 101 student could see through that one.

Bed, Bath & Beyond has been driven into bankruptcy by stock buybacks ...

and they aren't the only ones

This was not a mistake by the "Big Boys."
They raided a fortune and then stuck the rest of us with the bill
(bankruptcy means that WE pay THEIR bills
and then they can go back out and do it again).

Stock buybacks were illegal until 1982 (Reagan strikes again).

The EPA is trying to protect citizens,
but the expense of removing "forever chemicals" (PFAS) from water is ...

expensive

Money quote:

"will save thousands of lives and prevent serious illnesses, including cancer.
The plan would limit toxic PFAS chemicals to the lowest level that tests can detect.
PFAS ... are a group of compounds that are widespread, dangerous,
and expensive to remove from water.
"

Focus on that last line.
The "Big Boys" are more than willing to sacrifice thousands of lives
and ruin the lives of millions of others
if it will protect their investor's profits.
This is why Republican administrations (like Trump)
did everything in their power to weaken the EPA.

Meet Katie Porter (D-CA), U.S. House of Representatives



I got this Katie Porter quote off the Twitter page of comedian John Fugelsang:

The nation’s largest egg producer
saw profits rise by 600% last year—a record high.
Meanwhile, California families
are paying over 3x more for eggs.


It seems as though the “Big Boys” (the Oligarchs)
forgot to include this fact
when trying to explain the skyrocketing price of eggs.
Instead they resorted to excuses (lies)
in an attempt to cover up their stealing.

In order to keep their profits in the stratosphere ...

the BBC sticks it to the poor

"To reduce costs"

Translation: "To maintain skyrocketing profits."

"The BBC blames rising production costs
and battles over funding with the British government
for its need to cut $617 million per year from its spending budget.
"

Translation: "The government won't subsidize us enough
so we are going to stick it to the little guy"
(note: they are a public corporation)

"Poor people, especially, will be affected."

No translation necessary ... they got that part right.

The monopolization of America continues abated.
This quote from the article exposes the motivation:

"the brokerage industry has for years been coping with a price war
in the fight for retail investors’ dollars,
who are increasingly leaning away from picking and owning individual stocks
and more toward low-cost index funds and services that incorporate investment advice.
"

This will end the price war and investors will no longer benefit
from the competition that capitalism claims to supply.
But that competition only exists when backed by strong government regulation.
In our current economic climate, regulations and protections
are being stripped from the people by a government controlled by the wealthy.

Get your wallets out, boys

Our Founding Fathers tried to warn us about banks:

John Adams
Banks have done more injury to the religion, morality, tranquility, prosperity,

 ”

Thomas Jefferson
"I believe that banking institutions
are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy
that has set the government at defiance.
The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks
and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.
 "

James Madison
History records that the money changers
have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible
to maintain their control over governments by controlling the money and its issuance.
 "

Unfortunately, their warnings fell upon deaf ears.
The Oligarchs will continue to control the masses
by convincing them not to heed the warnings
of those who are trying to help them.

Republican

The article mentions 3 sources:
New York Times
Washington Post
Mother Jones

What a shock that Fox News (the only trustworthy non-fake news source)
isn't among them. Who would've guessed?

Pruitt said:
"The public record lays out serious scientific concerns
and substantive process gaps in the proposal.
By reversing the previous administration’s steps
to ban one of the most widely used pesticides in the world,
we are returning to using sound science in decision-making—
rather than predetermined results.

Wall Street bonuses return with a vengeance

So the money IS there.

But it doesn't "trickle down" as promised
because the Wall Street people
who are already making big salaries for producing nothing tangible
(only producing more wealth for the wealthy)
get gigantic bonuses to supplement their already bulging salaries ...
while the poor fight for survival.

In 2010 and 2011, mainly German and French banks in pursuit of high profits
made massive loans to Greek firms.
When the banks recognized that this was a high risk,
they were bailed out by transferring the debt
from the banks to the public institutions
like the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Now the ECB and the IMF are trying to force the Greek government
to cut pensions, education, salaries, and health care
to pay for the bail out of the banks.

DEJA VU!

Yeah, that's a great idea.
Like I said above ... "ANY country in Africa."

Make it easier to sue the news media.

The purpose of that one is to intimidate the media into shutting up

Allow a jury to impose a death sentence even if the vote is not unanimous.

Back to the Dark Ages ... as fast as we can go.

By "limit" you should translate that as "disallow."

Impose more restrictions on abortion.

Back to the Dark Ages ... as fast as we can go.
(I'm sorry - I'm repeating myself)

Further restrict how race and gender are taught in schools.
On education in general, the sizable agenda ranges from targeting school unions
to greatly expanding the use of state dollars to send children to private schools.
Lawmakers "are also gearing up to cancel diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at colleges."


This is their attempt to regain control of the youth (the future voters)
whom they have been losing at a high rate as people become more educated.

Toughen laws on immigration.

That's just meat for the morons.
They need immigrants to work for them for peanuts

2020 Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg



Trump vs. Bloomberg dueling Superbowl commercials

The Oligarchy is ensuring that you will choose
one of the two Oligarchs they deem acceptable.
Their first choice (Trump) will continue to give them everything they want.
Their second choice (Bloomberg) will throw the people some peanuts
(like gay wedding cakes and discounts on their insulin shots)
while protecting as much of the gains, the Oligarchy has made, as he possibly can.

This tiny Superbowl investment ($20 million) is peanuts
compared to how much they would stand to lose
if a Socialist like Sanders or Warren wins.

Read this list of causes for the Great Recession of 2008

One thing stands out to me above all else:
Republicans have done everything in their power since then
to ensure that it all happens again.
Think about what could possibly be behind
such seemingly suicidal actions.

There is only one answer that makes any sense
and that answer is based on the reality
that Republicans work for the rich - and ONLY - for the rich.

Think about what happened during
The Great Depression and The Great Recession.

In each case, enormous amounts of wealth were transferred
from the masses into the offshore bank accounts of the ultra rich.

The only explanation that makes sense,
is that these catastrophes are not accidents.
They are the greatest gimmick ever devised by the wealthy to get richer.
And they are preparing for another one very soon;
which is given away by the fact that they are doing everything they can
to deregulate our financial system and open the floodgates of wealth.

They don't want to fix the system because ...
it makes them too much money.

"In military circles this is known as 'psyops' – psychological operations.

It worked for Hitler, and 90 years later, it worked for Trump.

Trump's election has added to the rise of fascism around the globe.

not to mention the scientists who moved the "Doomsday" clock
to 2 minutes before midnight ...

Where my narrative differs from everyone else's,
is that I identify, what I consider to be, the true culprits ... the Oligarchs.
Without understanding the real motivation behind the push to worldwide war,
our ability to stop it shrinks to almost nil.

It is the uncontrollable greed of Oligarchs, worldwide,
that I see driving humanity toward the cliff.
The thin line of defenders braced at the edge (the Rationalists)
cannot withstand the assault alone.
We must find a way to get the herd to understand
what is really going on, who is behind it, and why.
But even then, we still have to find a way to convince them to turn around.

Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman



If they ever make it possible to revoke Nobel Prizes
this guy should be first on the list.

The acceptance of his "trickle down" policies was most likely
the main cause of America's demise ... in only one generation.
He convinced leaders that wealth would trickle down; and he was right.
Trickle was an accurate choice of words.
He convinced leaders that government should give tax breaks and other incentives
to the rich, and that by doing so, everyone below would benefit.
Now we see that only the wealthy benefitted.

Friedman said give us a dollar and you'll be better off.
Well, we gave him a dollar and we got a nickel back.
He said, see - without us you wouldn't have that nickel
(but without him, we would still have our dollar).

and the Oligarchs constantly fight ... to get that nickel back.

They should exhume what's left of Friedman's carcass right now,
and pry that Nobel Prize out of his rigormortis fingers with a crowbar ...
and then disinfect the crowbar.

One of the greatest enemies in America's history,
has always been, still is, and likely will continue to be,
for a long, long time to come ...

the American Conservative movement

What is it?

It is a marriage of Oligarchs and the politicians who serve them.
The tentacles of the Oligarchy extend everywhere, ensnaring through propaganda,
the useful idiots  that it needs to survive in a Democracy.

These idiots are drawn mainly from the pool of:
Conservative Christians (usually found in the Republican party).
They are Christians who follow none of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The God they really worship is called "Greed."
That is why the "Prosperity Gospel" is so successful in their sect of Christianity.
The pool also includes most Southerners, white racists,
and other Americans who are easily brainwashed by Conservative propaganda.

This is how the modern Conservative movement first got started

And this is how the modern Conservative movement has evolved

Moral Majority co-founder Paul Weyrich has acknowledged
that it was the government’s actions against segregated schools,
not the legalization of abortion, that enraged the Christian community.
(I would add to that ... the "Conservative" Christian community)

The release of the Panama Papers
represents one of the most powerful strikes ever
against the forces of evil (The Oligarchs).

But as this story makes clear (in its reference to China)
they control the media (and just about everything else).
They are already cutting off the lines of communication.
In America they are trying to bury, or at least minimize, the story.

The masses simply have not advanced far enough
to stand a chance against the evil that has controlled them for ...

There is only one prize left that the rich have yet to capture

After the amazing abandonment of Obama by the Democratic party
in the Midterm elections (which cost them everything),
it looks like a complete Conservative conquest of America is only 2 years away.

Today the House passed the spending bill to keep the government functioning.
It deregulated the banks and allowed individual campaign contributions to increase ...

10 FOLD!

And if the Senate rejects it, they will be the ones accused of shutting down the government.

The Oligarchy's victory over Democracy is virtually complete.
The only way this can happen in a Democracy, is with the help of the ignorant masses.
They are doing far, far more damage to America than any foreign enemy ever has.

How successful has the assault been, on FDR's New Deal?

See for yourself

Analysis

The first set of bars represents America under Truman (Dem).
The next two sets of bars should be combined because

1) there is little difference between them, and
2) both represent America under Eisenhower (Rep).

During this period, there was a slight, but unmistakable increase
in income going to the rich at the expense of everyone else.

Under presidents Kennedy and Johnson (Dems),
the advance of the rich stalled out and we experienced status quo.

Under Nixon (Rep) the rich were on the move again.
(that is only good news ... for the rich)

Carter (Dem) pretty much held the rich in check.

Then the Heavens opened up and the Lord sent the rich ... Ronald Reagan (Rep).
The graph tells the story better than any words ever could.
Bush senior (Rep) was able to keep the momentum going for the rich.

Clinton (Dem) succeeded in reversing the disaster slightly,
but with the election of Bush junior (Rep), the dam broke.
By the end of his presidency, America was in "The Great Recession."
The only things that prevented a repeat of the Great Depression
were the social programs instituted by FDR (Dem).

But Obama's election defied the consistency of the graph. Why?

For one thing, Republicans were able to prevent a recovery
by obstructing America in every way possible.
They even opened up a new tax loophole called "inversion"
to steal billions more from dwindling American tax revenues.

But that wasn't the only reason why this Democrat
was the only one who failed to stop the rich.
After the rich crashed the economy,
Obama sacrificed American taxpayers
by bailing out the giant corporations who had raided our nation's wealth.

So who is left to fight for us?

No one. We must fight for ourselves.

Democracy gives us the power to do so.
Unfortunately, many Americans have proven themselves to be
too stupid and gullible to use that power.
When any of the 99% of Americans (the non-rich) support Republicans,
they are cooperating in their own demise by voting against their own interests.
Until they develop the rational thinking skills necessary
to defend themselves from the lies of the Oligarchs,
they will continue to be ...

sitting ducks

FACES OF EVIL



This is Kim Jong-un.
He inherited the people of North Korea from his father, so he is very rich.
He threatens America with destruction on a regular basis
hoping to restore the flow of extortion money that America used to pay his father.
He tested a missile that almost made it to Japan before crashing into the sea.



These guys are the Koch Brothers. They are the richest brothers in the world.
How do they use the fortune they inherited?
They invest hundreds of millions of dollars into Global Warming Denial
in order to protect and expand their oil empire.
They are more than willing to sacrifice the entire planet
to keep the money rolling in.
Why would anyone, who has more money than God,
be willing to destroy millions of lives just to get richer?

I don't know. You would have to ask them.
But before you do, make sure
that your acceptance into the witness protection program has been cleared.



The leaders of The Tea Party are willing to destroy the American economy
because the democratic process didn't go the way they wanted it to.

A Tale of 2 Men

One man is old; very, very old. In fact, his expiration date has long since passed.
The other man is old; but only old.
But judging by his bulbous figure, he may exit before the older man.

Both of these men are quite well-known in America,
and both command large legions of followers.
One is a religious leader and the round one is a talk show host.
Both men are ultra conservatives.

Both of these men embarrass themselves on a regular basis.
They also embarrass other Republicans,
but because of the power they wield in that party,
there is little anyone can do about it.

Two men, are different in many ways,
but so similar in the damage they have done to our country,
because of the huge numbers of simpletons they have been able to influence.
In a Democracy, large masses of ignorant voters
can have a severe detrimental effect on that society.

So without further ado, I present two men
who never should have been on the national stage to begin with,
yet not only are they on it, they've dominated it for way too long;
two men whose damage will require decades to repair. I give you ...

Grover Norquist is pulling the strings behind the scenes for the Oligarchy

Greedy. There is no better word to describe Oligarchs like Norquist.
They are motivated by uncontrollable greed that is never satiated.
They represent the greatest enemy the human race has ever faced.

The One Percent

First, let's do our homework:

Read: "The distribution of wealth"

Watch: "The One Percent" (1:16:29)

Truly one of the greatest living heroes in America today ... Jamie Johnson.

His father, Jimmy Johnson, had the potential,
and even started to make an attempt,
but did not have the courage to follow through.

But all was not lost.
He would have a son, Jamie, who would fulfil that potential;
a son who did have the courage that the father lacked;
a son who would someday influence the world.

Did you notice how economist Milton Friedman blew his cookies (at: 1:05:05),
even though Jamie Johnson was bending over backwards trying to be polite?

Recently I read a story that claimed that in America,
if you earn at least $30,000 per year, you are in the top 1% globally.
Based on per capita income per country as recorded in the World Almanac,
I have no reason to doubt that figure.
So the rich (1%) might argue that the 99% should shut up
and be grateful that we have it as well as we do, here in America.

But what they are not telling you is:
if the rich weren't stealing U.S. taxpayers blind, by legalizing theft,
all Americans could be living much better than they are now.
So their argument is a Red Herring.

The One Percent hasn't only pillaged our country
but is currently spreading like a cancer all over the world.
They create jobs ... but they keep nearly all of the profits for themselves.

Labor practices

But wait - it gets worse.
For those Americans who don't care about what happens far away,
this one might hit closer to home (they charge a small fee to watch).

Fearing a massive redistribution of wealth
(meaning they might be forced to give back some of what they had stolen)

Oligarchs planned a coup against FDR in 1933

Wikipedia article on the coup

Instead, the Oligarchs calmed down,
accepted the fact that they would have to settle for stealing less,
and then bide their time until the masses were again ...

ripe for plucking

(yes, I know what that rhymes with; and either word is correct)

George Carlin was far more than just a comedian.
He was way ahead of his time in his knowledge of politics.
Here he paints a very dark, but very accurate picture of reality (3:14)
