Relief Rallies Are Never Made To Last
Written by Bob Chapman
2009 September
America is in a depression not a severe recession. If it were not, why would the Fed and our Treasury Department commit us for $23.7 trillion, and why would our entire financial industry have to be bailed out? Along with this fiat solution comes the political goals of corporatist fascism. Taken away have been the natural solution of growth within the private sector and the purging of excesses within the system. Those arguments are only heard on the Internet and talk radio. The people who our President wants to put on terrorist lists, or better yet has probably already put on terrorist lists, as you and me who speak up and demand our rights.
Our government for the past 20 years has been the most corrupt in American history. This is in your face corruption in banking, Wall Street, corporate America, in our congress and Senate and among our bureaucrats. Our legislation is written in secret by special interests and passed with very few even having read the legislation.
Then we have the change our President and his masters have planned for us. A health reform plan that rations healthcare, Health benefits and procedures will be made by bureaucrats. Everyone will carry a National Health Card ID that will contain your health records as well as federal access to very financial holdings. You will also get to subsidize union health plans and community organizer health plans, such as those of ACORN. Our new Government will be free of judicial review and price fixing. The government will set wages in the healthcare industry including those for doctors.
Insurance is mandatory and your employer will pay for it if he stays in business. Medicaid will be reduced as will services for the old and chronically ill. All doctors would be paid the same no matter what their specialty, training and experience. Hospital doctors will be penalized for what the government deems preventable re-admission. Government will prepare your taxes prior to death as they provide an approved list of end of life resources, to help guide you to your demise. If you do not take your own life government will arrange it for you. The list goes on and on. This is the same list used in Nazi Germany.
Government cannot create recovery and wealth. The insistence of the fed of massive injections of money and credit only eventually destroys wealth and capital. Such devices demand more taxes at a time when unemployment is rising, and tax revenues are falling; yet, debt is rising exponentially. We have a cadre of elitist banks, Wall Street firms, insurance companies and transnational corporations that will never be allowed to fail. Each time they use leverage and gamble and lose you will get to pay for it, on a never-ending basis. This is the heart of corporatist fascism. All those not in the elite Illuminist circle will eventually be gobbled up into giant transnational monopolies under world government.
Todays modus operandi of the Treasury, the Fed, Congress, our President and the faceless bureaucrats from the Council on Foreign relations, Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group is to debase our currency and other currencies as well and to increase unemployment, reduce income and stop capital formation. Whatever is left over will be confiscated from Americans, because the Illuminists believe that all your wealth belongs to them, because they allowed you to earn it. That is why they are chasing down all the offshore accounts. Once that is completed they will have a financial dossier first on Americans and then everyone in the world. Ultimately all countries will be currency blocked and then they will control all the worlds wealth. Of course, we now have to stop that. Well have to remove them from their pedestal. Egalitarianism caused 300,000 Illuminists to lose their heads in the late 1700s in France. History has a way of repeating itself.
The average person now pays about 40% in taxation, direct and indirect. If Health Care Reform and Cap & Trade are passed you can add another 40%. That is 80% Americans. This is exactly what the gang from the CFR has planned for you. That, of course, does not factor in inflation.

The Americas Social Security Report – 2010 Edition – Chapter 1 & 2
This Americas Social Security Report deals with the relation between economic cycles and social
insurance. Needless to say, this is pretty much why we have social security. Many other goals often
related to the public discourse to pension, health, or unemployment insurance take a back seat to
the issues of massive employment loss, of increased uncertainty by families around their economic
ability to care for the old, the disabled and the children, and of the fear of facing a grave illness and
not being able to access adequate health care services.
The first chapter relates our times to those of the Great Depression. The historical
comparison shows two key differences: governments today are much better prepared to support
the national economy to deal with the recession, and social security provides a framework to avoid
conditions of excessive financial hardship to families. The second chapter discusses the reality
that current unemployment rates may continue to be an issue long after the current recession
ends. Long-term unemployment is a present danger for most countries in our region, and will shape
our economies for years to come.

As Unemployment Extentions Run Out, Social Serices Agencies Begin To Take Children
In a new development regarding the ending of unemployment extensions for millions Americans, suddenly poor families with virtually no income face the loss of home, transportation and for some, even the loss of their children. In a startling development, indirectly caused by our social welfare system, families face separation or total loss of children to child protective services and/or other social service agencies. There are two ways parents are losing children according to Insider “Audrey” in California right now.
Breaking Up the Family to Receive more Benefits
Mothers are finding out and often encouraged by social service staff to leave their jobless husbands by offering them up to $800 per month in food stamps, VIP health care, free bus passes, $300 in Wic food supplements, Section 8 housing assistance, free day care and subsided higher education. It doesn’t pay to be married when you are “on the dole’. In a systematic assault upon the family, social service workers actively encourage married women to become “welfare moms”. Fathers are often left out in the cold, seeking employment wherever they can, threatened with jail by the district attorney and pressured to break the law with “under the table payments” to the wife. If he doesn’t comply, he loses all contact with the children.
Parents Forced to Give Up Children to Foster Care
In a system set up for failure, parents are encouraged and sometimes forced to give up their children
“temporarily” until they get back up on their feet financially. In a strange offer of charity, families are often willing to make space for children but unwilling to help their parents. What is left is a wholesale “hijacking” of parenthood due to current economic conditions. In some parts of Inland California, 25% of homeowners are not making payments. The banks are moving slow in the foreclosure process because they want to delay the waterfall of foreclosures to keep housing prices stable. When these banks begin a rapid pace of foreclosure we will see 25-30% of families ill prepared for an additional $1500 to $2000 expense of rent . We will see an explosion of suddenly poor families across America as these banks begin to foreclose and unfortunately a massive increase in the breakup of families.

Until he lost his job, Jim MacPherson figures, he had worked every day of his life since he was 15. Now, after 18 months of desperately seeking new work, MacPherson is among the estimated 2.1 million US workers, including 30,000 in Massachusetts, who have been without jobless benefits since Congress allowed an extension of the federal program to expire in early June.

Jobless Benefits for Millions to End in January- Unemployment
About one million laid-off workers will see their unemployment benefits end in January unless Congress acts quickly to renew existing federally paid extensions, according to a new survey and legislators and state officials.

The record extension of emergency benefits that was signed into law on Nov. 6 was widely praised as a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of Americans who had spent a year or more in fruitless searches for jobs.
The new law provided up to 14 weeks of federally paid aid to unemployed people who had exhausted existing state and federal limits, benefits that already lasted up to 79 weeks in many states. And for the majority of states with particularly high unemployment, it added six more weeks of payments, bringing the potential total to 99 weeks.
But many legislators, state aid officials and struggling workers apparently failed to read the fine print. The added federal benefits were built on a series of previous extensions that are slated to end on Dec. 31, unless Congress renews these programs. People who lost their jobs after July 1 of this year, for example, would receive no federal extensions once their customary six months of state aid ran out.
While discussions have started, Congress is not yet considering a specific proposal. And unless it acts before the Christmas break, officials warn, the extensions will end. If Congress, now caught up in the health care overhaul, delays action until next year, millions would face gaps in aid that many thought would be automatic.
There are six people looking for every available job, and these payments are enabling people to pay their mortgages and put food on the table, said Representative Jim McDermott, Democrat of Washington, who championed the Nov. 6 law and hopes to light a new fire under Congress.

Who repealed the Glass-Steagall Act?
The Glass Steagall Act President Roosevelt signed into law was repealed. See who swept aside the banking firewall protections on the 12th of November 1999.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, is an act of the 106th United States Congress (1999-2001), signed into law by President Clinton which repealed part of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, opening up the market among banking companies, securities companies and insurance companies. The Glass-Steagall Act prohibited any one institution from acting as any combination of an investment bank, a commercial bank, and/or an insurance company.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act allowed commercial banks, investment banks, securities firms and insurance companies to consolidate.

I am Seeking Professional Help…
As many of you know, I deal with depression/anxiety/panic attacks as well as agoraphobia and have dealt with the anxiety/panic attacks and the agoraphobia for almost two years now. My mom and brother have free health insurance from the American Indian Health Project and they brought me some paperwork one day to fill out so I could get some help. (I am also eligible for the free health insurance since I am Cherokee Indian, but was never able to take advantage of it due to the agoraphobia). The nurse at the American Indian Health Project even said she would come out and see me personally due to the anxiety/panic attacks and agoraphobia. Being hard-headed and not wanting any help, I put away the paperwork never giving a second thought to the possibility of getting help. Now that I’ve thought about it, and now that I’ve suffered for nearly two years with the anxiety/panic attacks and agoraphobia, I’ve decided to seek professional help. I would appreciate all of your prayers, and to God be the glory! Amen.
