OT - Get out of debt

[Guest guest]

The following article depicts a very realistic scenario if things continue

as they have been. That's why I'm doing everything I can to get out of

debt so I can continue to be in control of my diet and lifestyle.

The New American Slavery

By Jolly Roger

The average American in the year 2005 lives a fragile existence, in a

struggle for survival that can be ended by missing a few paychecks. The

carrot at the end of the stick which was formerly known as " the

American dream " has been replaced by a whip that can best be

described as the American nightmare of homelessness, and slow, early

death. You no longer work to achieve a better life for yourselves and

your children. You work to keep a roof over your head, and you pray that

you don't lose it. You became a slave when fear replaced incentive as

your motivation to work, but I still suggest that you work while you can,

because if the company you work for can't send your job overseas, the

U.S. government is allowing 2000 people per day to enter this country

illegally, because they're willing to do your job for less.

 

It doesn't matter if you're a " white collar " or " blue collar " employee. If

you're an American, you're too highly paid. There are billions of people

who want your job, and your government is doing all they can to see

that you lose it to them. You see, we're not really Americans anymore.

Now we're just anonymous faces in the " global village, " because our

government has sold our nation to foreigners and international bankers,

and the new bankruptcy law has doomed the American citizen to a life

of debt slavery. They'll insist that illegal immigrants are only doing jobs

that Americans refuse to do, and you'll probably believe it, because if

you're watching the TV that shovels that crap, you probably still have

your job. The illegal immigrants are doing jobs that Americans always

did, and every unemployed American I talk to can't find a job anywhere.

And just like the European immigrants that flooded this country before

the economic depression of the 1930's, today's illegal immigrants also

have no gripe with a government that has allowed them work for high

wages in America, and send billions back to their homeland. Nor do

they care very much about our constitution, bill of rights, or way of life.

They're only here for what they can grab, and our government has

welcomed them with open arms, because they're grabbing it from you.

 

You're already working much longer, and much harder, to achieve a

much lower standard of living than the previous generation, and 25

percent of working Americans no longer even get a vacation. The Social

Security retirement age has been raised to match the life expectancy of

American males, so apparently, you're also expected to work until

you're dead. When you do finally get a vacation, they only trip you'll be

taking will be in a pine box, and that's only if you're one of the lucky

ones. Most of us will only get the state-issued canvas bag that gets

tossed into the pit with all the others. If you don't mind the fact that

you'll be working until you're dead, you might also want to consider the

fact that you'll get nothing for your labor, because this nation's economy

is about to crash like a freight train, and when it does, everything you've

worked for will vanish. After the depression gets ugly, and your family

has made the adjustment from three meals per day to three meals per

week, the newspapers will blame your hunger on " the economy, " as if it

were some magical force that uncontrollably ruined a couple hundred

million lives. Nothing could be further from the truth.

 

Politicians and international bankers can manipulate national

economies at will, much in the way the media manipulates your mind,

and a decision has been made to impoverish Americans, because

global government requires that everyone in the world have an equally

low standard of living. Simply put, we're being robbed of all we've worked

for, because our government wants us to be poor, hungry, and docile,

dependant upon them for our existence, and in fear of them for our lives.

The government of the United States is intentionally destroying the

economy of the United States, because the politicians and the

international bankers they work for have decided that the American way

of life, and catering to the demands of the American constitution, is

simply too expensive.

 

Regardless of how wealthy you think you are, you actually have no real

money at all. The " federal reserve notes " that are in your wallet, and

your bank account, aren't really money, but are actually only paper on a

debt that can never be paid, not even by combining all the assets and

labor of every American alive today. Any loan-shark with a third grade

education will tell you " the paper's no good, " and naturally, the foreign

investors who allow us to float this debt, have come to the same

conclusion.

 

What is commonly known as the " U.S. dollar, " represents a debt that is

owed by the U.S. federal government, to the federal reserve bank. The

federal reserve bank happens to be the privately owned entity that lent

the money that's represented by the paper in your wallet. The federal

reserve act signed away everything you own, and the fruit of your labor

as collateral on this debt, and as foreign investors are becoming

increasingly unwilling to invest the $2 billion per day needed to cover the

interest, our creditors will want to collect it.

 

About 90 percent of all Americans are mortgaged to the hilt, and would

have little or no assets left if all debts and liabilities were to be paid.*

Most Americans have taken advantage of low interest rates, and are

now paying a mortgage on their homes. The booming real estate market

has made every purchase profitable, because the price of a home

always rises. The problem is that the price of a home today is incredibly

over-inflated, and the real estate boom that's been keeping the

American economy afloat, is about to bust. Interest rates are going to

rise, and the price of your home is going to drop drastically, which will

leave you stuck paying for a house that probably wouldn't pay the

interest on your debt if you sold it. If you're lucky enough to remain

employed, inflation will shred your paycheck until you can no longer

make mortgage payments. This is when you need to remember that

when a nation's economy collapses, the wealth of the nation doesn't

disappear, it only changes hands.

 

Millions of Americans are about to be tossed into the street, and

because we're a kinder and gentler America, from the street they'll be

tossed into shelters. Once in the shelter, they'll be wards of the social

service system, which will make sure they all have food, and a bed to

sleep in. In exchange for that food and shelter, the " welfare reform " act

will put them to work at jobs where they will collect no additional salary.

I guess the idea of " welfare reform " is a lot more acceptable to

Americans than " forced labor " but regardless of what you call it, many

Americans will soon experience slavery once again, and the slaves are

not just sweeping public streets. Under the welfare reform act, many

Americans are being put to work for private companies for no wages

other than the cost of their food and shelter, both of which constitute the

bare minimum requirements of survival. By causing the economy to

collapse, and then " saving " the poor, our government can legally force

millions of Americans into slavery. The new slavery will be blamed

on " the economy, " and it will employ a much larger percentage of the

population than it did before the civil war.

 

To understand how they're accomplishing this, we need to turn our

thoughts back to our monetary system, because due to the fact that it

is no longer based on the gold standard, our government is in control of

the money supply, and that gives them the ability to cause rampant

unemployment, which is exactly what they're doing. The framers of the

U.S. constitution protected us from this brand of tyranny, but because

Americans were foolish enough to ignore and/or trust their government,

they will become slaves, but most of them will blame themselves for

their plight.

 

Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. constitution clearly states that " no

state shall... make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in

payment of debts. " The constitution's prohibition of " fiat money " (what's

in your wallet) guarantees that the wealth of the nation remains in the

hands of the people, which leaves the government incapable of stealing

the population's wealth, as they're doing today. You can collect all the

dollars that you like. Our government decides what they're worth, and by

keeping the presses working overtime, they're insuring that the dollar

will soon be worthless.

 

The U.S. department of labor has also changed the way it collects data

regarding unemployment, which allows for the fraudulent unemployment

figures that are printed in the newspapers, and allows working

Americans to believe that things aren't really that bad. Their

new " household survey " system avoids counting most of the poor by

basing unemployment figures on telephone surveys. A real estimate,

based on population and payroll taxes, reveals that about 25 percent of

the American workforce is presently unemployed, and that will

eventually force them into the social service slavery system. Unless

your mortgage and debts are completely paid off, and you can still pay

your property taxes, there's a good chance you'll soon be joining them.

Welcome to the third world, and to an American world, where slavery is

legal once again.

 

What are you going to do when your government forces you into

slavery? You can't avoid it, because if you're homeless, you'll be

rounded up and brought to a " shelter " , where you'll be fed, and probably

medicated if you're not happy to be there. With so many people

becoming homeless, it will be easy for them to find an apartment for

you, and social services will pay your rent, and give you food stamps.

 

Soon after that they will find you a job, but naturally, you won't be taking

home a paycheck because you're in debt to the social service system.

They'll tell you that you're working your way back to independence, but

since your salary will never be more than your expenses, you'll work for

free until you're dead. If you refuse to work, the government " assistance "

will be cut off, you'll be back out on the street, and you'll probably do

your next job with a shackle around your ankle.

 

I'm not asking that you waste the time or paper required to write your

congressman, because they don't care what you think anyway. What I

am asking you to do is to remember something. When the economy

does crash, and you're forced into the street. I want you to remember

that this isn't your fault, and it's not the result of a " bad economy. "

Please remember that you're poor, hungry and homeless, because

that's where our government wants you to be, and they intentionally

destroyed the U.S. economy because they want you to suffer, and beg.

And regardless of how bad things get, never sell your rifle. -- Jolly Roger

 

" Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the

capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing

process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and

unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens..... Lenin

was certainly right. " - John Maynard Keynes*
