Inside story develops at 2012 Hubert Humphrey Civil Rights Awards in DC w/Barney Frank and Janet Marguia.


15 MAY 2012

"Hey KingCast What's Crackin' at Tomorrow's Hubert Humphrey Annual Civil Rights Gala in DC?"

Yes, my former co-worker and Assistant Attorney General from Ohio and current CFPB Chief Richard Cordray was in attendance, read more about him and Kent Markus in this Mortage Movies Journal Entry that also partially addresses what a horrible Senator Kelly Ayotte really is.

Here is the link for this year's Humbert Humphrey Civil Rights Gala. A rousing rendition of the National Anthem I say. As to my ultimate purpose in attending, that is still going to remain unpublished for several days. I wish I could tell you but I can't just yet, but very soon. It is going to come out of left field and call into question EVERYTHING, that is all I can say.

TRUST ME FOLKS: When this story hit in late May or early June you will say "Dod Gamn!!!?

The worst government IT deal of ALL TIME

The Dude of enterprise tech, Greg Knieriemen, master of all that is cloud and storage Ed Saipetch and web2.0 playa Sarah Vela speak to Eric Eyre of the Charleston Gazette about the paper’s investigation into a suspicious $24m Cisco router purchase by the State of West Virginia using US Federal Stimulus Funds for the purpose of “homeland security”. The enterprise routers, which are sized for at least 500 users and are typically used for thousands of users, were purchased for schools and libraries with a single computer.

US vulture fund profits from bond payout

Most of the money Greece used to pay in full a 436-million-euro foreign law bond on Tuesday went to a vulture fund, the New York Times has reported.

“Almost 90 percent was delivered to the coffers of Dart Management, a secretive investment fund based in the Cayman Islands, according to people with direct knowledge of the transaction,” the newspaper said.

“Dart is one of the best known of the so-called vulture funds, which have a track record of buying the distressed bonds of nearly bankrupt countries — and if they do not get paid, suing the governments for the money.”

The Bank Runs In Greece Will Soon Be Followed By Bank Runs In Other European Nations

The bank runs that we are watching right now in Greece are shocking, but they are only just the beginning. Since May 6th, nearly one billion dollars has been withdrawn from Greek banks. For a small nation like Greece, that is an absolutely catastrophic number. At this point, the entire Greek banking system is in danger of collapsing.Meanwhile, banks in other troubled European nations are already on shaky ground. The Spanish banking system is an absolute disaster zone at this point and on Monday night Moody's downgraded the credit ratings of 26 Italian banks.

The situation in Italy is especially worth keeping a close eye on. As Ambrose Evans-Pritchard recently noted, things are not looking good for Italy at all....

AMERICA: Desperate Times Demand Revolutionary Measures Towards Sociopolitical-environmental Collapse

Runway capitalism is moving unrelentingly towards sociopolitical-environmental collapse—cheered on by a two-headed single party machine known as US Congress. Activists, who see the coming disasters as catastrophic, are seeking revolutionary change through non-cooperation, and occupy disruptions. Yet, many are the still delusional hopefuls desperately fumbling with traditional responses; including "Kum ba yah" marches, and the futile support for progressive left-leaning candidates seeking positions of influence inside the Washington beltway.

GLOBAL MARKETS-World stocks slip with euro on Greece turmoil

NEW YORK, May 15 (Reuters) - World stocks declined and the euro fell to a four-month low against the dollar on Tuesday after Greece said it would hold new elections and worries increased about its possible exit from the euro zone.

Living in a Banksters’ Paradise – Part 2 of 2

Paul Adams, J.D.
Activist Post

In part one of this research, we documented that fact that banksters have conquered the world by obtaining a monopoly on creating money from nothing and loaning it at interest.

The IRS and Federal Reserve

Like the Federal Reserve, the IRS was created in 1913. The purpose of the IRS is to enslave citizens by stealing the value of their labor through collecting income taxes.

On average IRS and other tax collectors steal 3.5 months of each Americans’ labor time each year, or one-third of earned income. Of course, many Americans pay much higher tax rates, with a top individual Federal tax bracket of 35%.

Ron Paul’s Urgent Call For Supporters To Step Up!

A country that is hopelessly enslaved by Jewish money and Jewish power, is not free to report the truth.

America needs to produce politicians who are more honest and less fearful of the wrath of the Jewish lobby (AIPAC).

However, this won’t happen until mainstream America discovers the disastrous role Israel and her agents play in America’s national life.

Another well-done, excellent example of the truth, which has long been apparent.

The Horrible Jobs Record Of The GOP's Favorite Governor

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is the GOPs favorite governor for two reasons.

1) He's taken on public sector unions/workers/pensions.

2) He's hated by public sector unions/workers, which means he gets brownie points for being disliked by the right people.

It's just too bad that from an economic standpoint, he's not a good governor.

Menzie Chinn at Econbrowser takes a look at his record on private sector job creation, and it turns out that not only is he well behind his own goals, he's just generally bad at it.

Why does the state of California seem to be so incredibly hopeless? These days California can't seem to do anything right, and if you live in California things just got a whole lot worse.

Governor Brown has announced that the state budget deficit for this year is going to be much larger than projected, that more government services are going to be cut, and that voters are going to vote on another round of tax increases in November. Meanwhile, unemployment is sitting at 11 percent and extended federal unemployment benefits for workers in the state are ending...

Economics of fascism

In terms of economic practice, this meant promoting the interests of successful businessmen while destroying trade unions and other organizations of the working class. Historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise, because "the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise... Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social." Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest.

California Deficit Grows

California deficit grows to $16 billion, Gov. Jerry Brown says

SACRAMENTO — California's projected budget deficit has ballooned to $16 billion, much larger than the $9.2 billion estimated in January, Gov. Jerry Brown said, and he warned of more painful spending cuts.

"We will have to go much further, and make cuts far greater, than I asked for at the beginning of the year," Brown said in a video posted Saturday on YouTube. He plans to detail his revised spending plan in the Capitol on Monday.

MAULDIN: Germany Has Waved The White Flag And Will Allow Printing And Inflation

This week the German Bundesbank waved the white flag. The die is cast. For good or ill, Europe has embarked on a program that will require multiple trillions of euros of freshly minted money in order to maintain the eurozone. But the alternative, European leaders agree, is even worse. Today we will look at the recent German shift in policy, why it was so predictable, and what it means. This is a Ponzi scheme that makes Madoff look like a small-time street hustler. There is a lot to cover.

Top Ten Reasons to Oppose the IMF

What is the IMF?

The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank were created in 1944 at a conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, and are now based in Washington, DC

The IMF now acts like a global loan shark, exerting enormous leverage over the economies of more than 60 countries. These countries have to follow the IMF's policies to get loans, international assistance, and even debt relief. Thus, the IMF decides how much debtor countries can spend on education, health care, and environmental protection. The IMF is one of the most powerful institutions on Earth -- yet few know how it works.

‘We are in Third World War - an economic war. And the weapon is debt’

And there was about 50 Greek people here and there was a fascinating noise. And they kept going back to a very interesting point – we are in Third World War and it’s an economic war and the weapon is debt.

If you look at Iceland – now they are something that is quite inspiring in a sense that they absolutely ignored what they have been told to do. They didn’t go for being bailed out in any way. In fact at the moment they are crowdsourcing their constitution themselves. They dispense with all the leaders they believe to be corrupt and they were banging their saucepans just like in Argentina until they have a leader they believed in. And they are going much further. They are now actually chasing and wanting to bring to court those bankers that brought the country to debt in the first place. So they are taking control themselves and they are doing right.

Greece must ‘obey or get off euro train’ - EU

Welcome to the NWO peasants!

Top EU officials have decreed Greece should leave the eurozone if unable to stick to the austerity measures imposed by European creditors. The political crisis in Athens is making this scenario not altogether impossible.On Thursday the head of Greece's second-placed Radical Left Coalition addressed the EU’s top officials, calling on them to re-examine the strict austerity program Greece is going through. The letter was addressed to EU President Herman Van Rompuy, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi.

In his letter Alexis Tsipras wrote that the election on May 6 had exposed a strong anti-austerity mood among the Greek population. As a result, the new Greek parliament proved unable to form a working government. All this has stripped Greece's bailout commitments of “political legitimacy.”

Make the Bankers Pay: Iceland, Ireland pushing back against neo-feudalism

Tony Cartalucci, Contributor
Activist Post

Across the dominion of the corporate-financiers on Wall Street and in the city of London, the reckless Ponzi schemes destroying the West's economy and plunging it into an economic depression have left politicians, the bought-and-paid-for servants of corporate-financier hegemony, wringing the public dry to cover losses. In reality, when an enterprise fails because of criminality, incompetence or both, citizens should not be forced to pass the hat around to "bail them out."

They are declared bankrupt, their assets (if they have any) are stripped, often if fraud is involved, executives and board members go to jail, and society attempts to fill the void with sounder enterprises run by more reputable people...

Protecting Assets From Government

But beyond those particular worries, and perhaps more important than any of them, is the sense that from here on, anything goes. The politicians will do whatever they find expedient, because there is no longer anything to stop them — not an electorate that is jealous of its freedoms and certainly not the Constitution, which is now just a playhouse for judicial imagineering. No one can know what’s coming next from the government and the financial system it has fostered, but for many of us there is an awful suspicion that we are not going to like it.

Postal Service loses $3.2B in 2nd quarter

WASHINGTON (AP) - The ailing U.S. Postal Service is reporting quarterly losses of $3.2 billion, brought on by declining mail volume and mounting costs for future retiree health benefits.

From January to March, losses were $1 billion more than during the same period in 2010.

Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe says the mail agency is incurring significant losses because Congress has failed to pass legislation allowing it to eliminate Saturday mail delivery and reduce health and other labor costs.

French and Greek political earthquakes point to rise of the anti-austerity movement

With unemployment in Europe at its highest level since the creation of the single currency, resentment has been growing over whether strict budgetary discipline is the best way to brace a spiral of debt.

Street protests have been seen across Italy, Spain and Portugal as people reacted to spending cuts that have slowed economies across Europe.
Savings have been wiped out and in Spain, a real estate crash has helped swell unemployment to 25 per cent of the workforce.
Anti-austerity momentum came to a head on Sunday night, when voters in France and Greece spectacularly ousted governments seen as towing the fiscal discipline line too strictly.

Election swing leaves Greece teetering

Greece was plunged into political uncertainty on Sunday night as national elections produced a fragmented Parliament of at least seven parties and a result that could preclude New Democracy and PASOK forming a coalition government over the next few days.

SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras, who at 38 led his party to its best election showing, ruled out the option of working with either New Democracy or PASOK and said he would try to form a coalition of parties opposed to the EU-IMF memorandum, starting with those on the left.

Tsipras said in a speech from his headquarters that the austerity policies of German Chancellor Angela Merkel “have suffered a crushing defeat.” He said he would appeal to the “forces of the left” in a bid to form a coalition to “abolish the memorandum.” “Their signatures have been undermined by the popular mandate,” he said, referring to the leaders of the outgoing coalition government.

UBS On The Greek Elections: 'Be Worried, Be Very Worried'

Be Worried, Be Very Worried is not a typical title for a Wall Street research report, so you have to take note when that's what UBS is saying about tomorrow's Greek election.

Now to understand the stakes of the Greek election, you basically have to understand one thing: There's been a big austerity/reform/bailout package agreed to, but full implementation is a long way off.There's still a big risk, if Greece doesn't implement reforms fast that the IMF will walk away, and refuse to disburse more aide.
If funding doesn't happen, Greece would run out of cash. Expect social turmoil.
If that happens, you may see Greece introduce its own "quasi-money" -- IOUs of some sort.
And a Greek exit can't be totally discounted.

America: Freedom to Fascism - Director's Authorized Version

Apr 16 08:19

THE LAW THAT NEVER WAS - The 16th Amendment authorizing the income tax failed ratification.

On January 10, 2008, the Federal District Court in Chicago issued a permanent injunction against Bill Benson on the grounds that by offering information demonstrating that the 16th Amendment was not legally ratified, he was promoting an abusive tax shelter. The Court then refused to look at the government-certified documentary evidence, deciding instead that the facts necessary to prove his statements true were "irrelevant."

Webmaster's Commentary: 

In the landmark case (referred to at the opening of Aaron Russo's "Freedom to Fascism") of Sullivan v United States, Judge James C. Fox openly admitted on page 23 of this court transcript that the 16th Amendment, on which the income tax is based, actually failed to be ratified, and the US Government pretends otherwise, lying to the American people simply because it needs your money to continue to pour into the privately-owned Federal Reserve system.

Don't forget to pay your taxes today so that the US Government can send more billions to Israel and make war on Israel's enemies! You are a loyal slave, are you not?

As written, Bill 1813 states that the IRS must find that $50,000 or more is owed by the citizen—but this is a unilateral determination by the IRS, and it includes penalties and interest. So the alleged amount that you owe could be substantially less—but you are now no longer allowed to travel.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

This bill is proclaiming that there is no escape allowed from the constantly increasing taxes, which is the government's way of saying you have no choice but to stand and fight.

And, of course, if the government is so silly as to keep citizens who know the 16tth Amendment wasn't actually ratified inside the borders, we'll just go on teaching our friends and neighbors that history. Realizing that the US Government did lie about Saddam's nuclear weapons, people are more accepting of the reality that the US Government lied to us to loot our wallets for the privately-owned Federal Reserve banks.

4.9 Million US Tax Dollars A Day For Israel while Americans starve

No one can say the U.S. hasn’t been generous towards Israel since it was founded in 1948.

Over a period of 64 years (including the 2013 budget request), the U.S. has given Israel more than $115 billion in military and foreign aid, which averages out to about $4.9 million a day.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

More than four times the entire cost of the Apollo Moon Program, and we still don't have a giant leap for mankind out of all that money.

$5 Trillion Tax Hike Coming

Back in February when the Congress voted to extend the payroll tax “holiday” to the end of the year, the Washington Post was the first to notice the tsunami of tax increases coming next year. But then Lori Montgomery began to add up all the other taxes that will increase on January 1, 2013, and called it “Taxmageddon.”

Here is a partial list of taxes that will increase unless Congress intervenes:

The 2001 and 2003 Bush “tax cuts” expire
Taxes on investment income
Estate and gift taxes
Income taxes
Marriage penalty returns
Child credit drops
Taxes on first $8700 of wages increase by 50 percent
Payroll taxes go from 4.2 percent back to 6.2 percent

Oaksterdam University Raid 'Payback' For California's Marijuana Legalization Effort?

The man who bankrolled California's closest shot yet at fully legalizing marijuana, Prop. 19, saw his Oaksterdam University cannabis college in Oakland raided by federal authorities yesterday.
And pot advocates are fuming.

The Drug Policy Alliance suggests the raid by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service might have served one possible goal:
"Payback" for the 2010 legalization effort that failed but made a good try of it. The ballot effort was backed by Richard Lee, the millionaire owner of Oaksterdam.

Keeping the Slaves on the Plantation: Senate Says No Passport if You Owe Taxes

Eric Blair
Activist Post

CBS is reporting that Senate Bill 1813 that would "suspend passport rights for delinquent taxpayers" passed the Senate 74-22 on March 14th.

A bill authored by a Southland lawmaker that could potentially allow the federal government to prevent any Americans who owe back taxes from traveling outside the U.S. is one step closer to becoming law.

...The 'Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act' or 'MAP-21' includes a provision that would allow for the 'revocation or denial' of a passport for anyone with 'certain unpaid taxes' or 'tax delinquencies'.

Sullivan Vs United States

Webmaster's Commentary: 

This is the case referred to my Aaron Russo in his documentary "From Freedom to Fascism" in which the judge, James C. Fox, admits on the court record that the 16th Amendment, which supposedly reversed the prior constitutional ban on income taxes, was never actually ratified.

"The Law That Never Was"

On January 10, 2008, the Federal District Court in Chicago issued a permanent injunction against Bill Benson on the grounds that by offering information demonstrating that the 16th Amendment was not legally ratified, he was promoting an abusive tax shelter. The Court then refused to look at the government-certified documentary evidence, deciding instead that the facts necessary to prove his statements true were "irrelevant."

What has America come to when the government we created to protect our rights can accuse us of lying and then prohibit us from presenting a defense in a court of law?

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Nobody can prove that the 16th Amendment, reversing the constitutional ban on income taxes, was ever actually ratified. The Federal Reserve and the income tax which feeds your money to it, both came into existence in 1913 and both are money-junkie frauds.

In deference to the conservative dogs nipping his heels, Romney has endorsed the Paul Ryan Medicare plan which would voucherize Medicare and leave senior citizens floundering on their own with private insurance companies.

HALF of Americans don't pay income tax despite crippling government debt

In 2009, just 50.5 per cent of Americans paid any income tax to the federal government - the lowest proportion in at least half a century.

And the number of people outside the tax system could have climbed even higher since as the economic downturn has continued to bite and unemployment has remained high.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

The problem is that the government runs up more dent than the taxpayers could ever pay (mostly for things We The People do not approve of) so why bother trying?

Is the US covertly propping up Europe's banks?

Webmaster's Commentary: 

We are seeing these stories of trillions in US Treasury bonds floating around Europe. We are being told they are fake. I don't think so. Bailouts will no longer work because a bailout is a loan which drives up debt faster than it provides liquidity. Because Wall Street banks sold 98% of the Credit Default Swaps on Europe's debt, Wall Street cannot survive a collapse of the European debt. So what it looks like to me is that the US Government is issuing treasuries and simply giving them to Europe's banks to improve their cash positions without increasing the debt. But since a Treasury is itself a debt obligation, where does that debt go? Onto YOU, redeemable in your and your children's children's children's future slave labor collected as taxes for which no services are returned to you. That is what the word "austerity" has come to mean when spoken by the government!

Of course, this is not a solution. This world-destroying scam is being perpetrated for no more reason than an attempt to hold off the final crash until after the November Elections.

The True Reason "Moonshine" Is Illegal - Hard To Tax. Now, New Earthers, Permaculturists And Other Real People Are Returning To the Joys...

Webmaster's Commentary: 

When I was a kid, it was legal to distill liquor, just illegal to sell it without the tax stamp. My grandfather had a small still in the woods behind his hunting cabin in New Hampshire's White Mountains. He drank his own creations, never sold any, and was ignored by the local police (except for one who asked for and obtained the occasional "free sample").

These days, the ban on all home distilling is to preserve the profits of the big licensed distillers and the tax revenues collected from them. That is of course a very fascist approach, banning home-made anything to force people to spend money buying the corporate-made versions.

But my grandfather always told me that black power and white lightning was what made America great! :)

The Law That Never Was

The federal government rests its authority to collect income tax on the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—the federal income tax amendment—which was allegedly ratified in 1913.

—The 16th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

After an extensive year-long nationwide research project, William J. Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the requisite three-fourths of the states and that nevertheless Secretary of State Philander Knox had fraudulently declared ratification.

TAXATION BY MISREPRESENTATION

Based upon his 30+ years of research, John has laid out a persuasive argument, with numerous authorities cited in support, that traces the tax processes and procedures employed by the IRS today and lays them side by side with the English processes. By this process, he demonstrates a compelling case that the income tax process used today by the IRS must be based upon one of the only two processes used by the king in 1791, both of which are cited by the Murray Court, namely, either the finding of an inquisition, aka an inquest of office (administrative hearing, in today’s terms), or a statute staple process (an ancient form of contract enacted by Parliament for the benefit of merchants).

RIP-OFF BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE: How they stole it all!

This mathematical analysis shows how:

1. The present practice in the U.S. of creating book-entry money via T-securities (deficit spending) in the amount of the principal of the security, with a promise to repay the principal PLUS the interest, is impossible. The interest is never created; the debt is perpetual and must continually be increased or the economy will collapse from de-leveraging;

2. All other fiscal obligations of the nation must be curtailed while the growth in debt will escalate. The exponential growth of the interest and snow-balling debt will increase until the entire wealth of the nation, and of future generations, is inadequate to fund it;

The amount of money the federal government takes out of the U.S. economy in taxes will increase by more than 30 percent between 2012 and 2014, according to the Budget and Economic Outlook published today by the CBO.

At the same time, according to CBO, the economy will remain sluggish, partly because of higher taxes.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

I know I posted this yesterday, but I felt it needed repeating, and YOU need to forward this to everyone you know. Federal Taxes are going to increase by almost 1/3 over the next two years and even the government admits this will stagnate the US economy for an additional 6 years at least. This is the price YOU will pay to save Wall Street from going to jail for the mortgage-backed securities fraud. This is the price YOU will pay to go on fighting Israel's wars. What is wrong with you that you are unable to feel the slightest anger about this?

As we all know, much of Mitt Romney's wealth is derived from "carried interest," a share of the profits from investments that Bain Capital made while he was CEO. This income is taxed at the same 15 percent rate as ordinary capital gains, which is why Romney's tax rate is so low.

But it turns out there's another interesting tidbit about carried interest that I've never heard of before: It's a great way of passing along a huge inheritance to your kids without paying any taxes. David Cay Johnston explains:

Rather than deal with the complexities of U.S. tax law, Americans living overseas are increasingly renouncing their citizenship in order to avoid paying their income taxes.

Second, others have accused the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of “bait and switch” tactics, telling Americans they can resolve their unpaid taxes under an “older voluntary disclosure programs with the promise of reduced penalties, only to find themselves subjected to steeper penalties.”

Charles S… wrote to me as a fellow seeker of the truth and asked if I had any thoughts, between students, since none of us are attorneys and do not give legal advice, as to whether or not I think that frns (Federal Reserve Notes) are taxable because they may be private script and signing a nonendorsement on check with ‘in lawful money 12 usc sec, 411 or similar words removes the frns from private script and hence the taxable event.

New Social Security formula would cut benefits, raise taxes

Just as 55 million Social Security recipients are about to get their first benefit increase in three years, Congress is looking at reducing future raises by adopting a new measure of inflation that also would increase taxes for most families. Those with low incomes would be hit hardest.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

What happened is simple. Along with foreign banks and the Federal Reserve, the United States Government has borrowed heavily from the Social Security trust fund to balance their budgets. Now the US Government cannot make payments to all of their creditors, so they are stiffing the one group they can cheat without fear of a lowered credit rating; the American people. The US GOverbnment spent the money you entrusted to them for your retirement and now they cannot pay it back. The US Government is in default to the American people, and their "solution" is to not pay you the benefits you were told to expect, and worse, increase taxes to replace the money they stole and could not repay. This is not a solution, of course, because the new taxes will be spent on everything but the American people just as current taxes are. The cash will go to wars, to Wall Street, and to Israel.

FLASHBACK - OFFSHORING AMERICAN JOBS - Corporations, Campaign Cash, & Bush Administration Policies.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

This document lays out the means by which the Bush administration changed the laws and tax codes to allow and even encourage corporations to send high-paying jobs to American companies even as Wall Street was already cranking up the machine to create and sell fraudulent mortgage=-backed securities.

The email responses to my expose' that the US is being looted to cover the buyback of fraudulent mortgage-backed securities usually view the firestorm of foreclosures as a knee=jerk reaction by the bankers to keep their balance sheets intact, but in looking at the timing of the Bush policies, and the fact that President George W. Bush was the first President to end his administration with fewer working Americans since Hoover, it seems clear that it was intended right from the start of the crisis to destroy Americans' ability to pay their mortgages, in order to allow the banks to seize those homes to preserve their capital structure.

Outright nationalization of private property would have triggered a rebellion, but by getting rid of the high paying jobs, the banks could grab the property to recapitalize themselves and make it look like it was the homeowners' fault!

This is the only possible explanation of why, in his first two years in Office, President Obama did nothing to stop the offshoring of American jobs, and indeed in the last two years, overall, offshoring has increased, and those jobs are never coming back!

This disaster is a deliberate creation of Wall Street and Washington DC. It's purpose is at best fulfillment of simple greed by the money addicts; at worse a plot to trap the whole world in a globalized version of a private central bank; a Federal Reserve on steroids!
