Public Notice or the "real world"update notification of People's cases, contacts to or from parties, comments on world events 3/31/2009 Update - How much do U.S. citizens oweOkay, how about we update how much you owe if you are a U.S. citizen.
The old postings were based upon JUST the first 700 billion [which was actually about 1.2 trillion] bailout without the Bush 8.1 trillion debt, another bailout of about 1.3, and a budget of 1.3 trillion.
YOU owe *$36,227,438.302 PER PERSON* in new debt/credit. That is 36.3 million dollars PER PERSON. You have to remember, any supposed sales coming from Treasury Notes are PROMISES to pay sometime in the future.
ALL present funds being used by and within the U.S. are based upon debt owed to other nations. NO financial institution or business can show profit UNTIL it has paid its credit debt, which YOU actually owe since its your credit and worth now being used to back them. TOTAL now owed by EVERY living person [based upon http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html, using present and prior amounts from debts never paid: $42,567,789.00 PER PERSON with interest accruing every second. That's 42.6 million dollars PER PERSON. What is happening in the markets? Just what I previously presented, YOUR worth [what you have now invested in financial institutions and businesses] is being skimmed off, leaving the failed institutions with NO REAL VALUE.
Reality is: People without jobs can't buy cars, buy products, or buy homes. Building or re-building a business REQUIRES *long term* investments which may not produce returns for decades.
The present markets are based upon SHORT TERM investments and quick returns.
MOST of the jobs in large cities are re-jobs,, meaning what is done in one institution/business has already been done elsewhere. Those people employed by these intitutions are receiving income from multi-tiered redundant manipulation. WITH the debt you are now liable for, we COULD HAVE completely re-built the infrastructure of the U.S., provided universal health care for everyone, fixed Social Security FOREVER, provied complete border security, likely fixed global warming/climate change issues, bought EVERYONE of driving age in the U.S. a new "GREEN" car [stimulating the economy], funded the educational systems, bailed out ALL states finances, and dozens of other needed aspects.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
Placed ourselves and this nation in a debt which can never be paid; and sold this nation and its peoples to the financiers. We have created the largest debtors prison in the history of the planet. 3/24/2009 Market recovery?? Get real!!! Hey, wake up..
Time to explain the fluctuating markets. Right now you have thousands of people claiming to be economic specialists, market professionals, investment professionals, and your legislators and governments, all claiming the markets are recovering. Here's what actually is occurring:
YOU, the people of the world, were FORCED to invest in the markets by these hundreds of trillions of dollars [across the world] your governments just took from you and your children, and their children, ad infinatum. Okay, so you understand that much, but what about the seeming rises occurring in various areas of the markets, and that your IRA/401k/retirement accounts/whatever is making SOME of the lost money from the market and financial collapse. DUH, you are receiving PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR from your massive investment so you have NOT really received anything. It would take an immediate 100% return of your FORCED investment [around $256,000.00 per person in the U.S.] to even be close to even. DO NOT forget YOU owe the interest on the credit loan WHICH YOU OWE TO THE CREDITORS who lent you that money you were FORCED to invest.
The normal *citizen* [meaning YOU, the common people, NOT the multi-millionaires/billionaires] will NEVER recoup your part of this debt you owe, nor will your children or theirs. NOR will the governments, purportedly on your behalf. Remember, you actually wn't get ONE PENNY back of the money you invested/promised to pay, the government will, and will continue to SPEND any returned funds, ON YOUR BEHALF. Uh, okay, so why the fulucuations? The major market investors are SKIMMING OFF the monetary value YOU just provided to the markets and financial institutions. The flucuations are investments WHERE some of YOUR money was invested.
The FUNDS managers, day-traders, and other market players have to move around buying stocks, forcing increase of the purported worth, and then dump it for a profit. THE PROFIT is your FORCED investment money, leaving the same failing entity only now WITHOUT your investment funds. HUH, they took nothing but made a profit from investing!
Sorry, no, THEY have good credit ratings and really NEVER invest their own real finances into anything, they use their CREDIT.
The credit comes from financial institutions YOU just were forced to invest in, PROTECTING THEM from collapse of the instituions and their PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR recovery due to that failure. YOU also just increased their ability to hold *you* [via the FDIC] accountable for $250,000.00 in EVERY ACCOUNT they have their real money in. Had the failed institutions been closed before, *you* [via the FDIC] would only have been liable for $100,000.00 per account.
NOW they have had the time to moved their assets around and ensure their accounts are protected and YOU are liable for them. Had these bail-outs/stimulous all been given to ONE business/corporation/financial institution and these supposed investors were to take it from there, you would notice and take offence [look at the AIG hearings going on for example], so this PROMISE TO PAY *you* are now liable for, is being spead out among the receivers.
YOU are being told that these TOXIC ASSETS and FAILED INSTITUTIONS can be sold to someone. Sure, some of them can be, *FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR* of which YOU purchased them*. SOMEONE will be making a massive profit AT YOUR EXPENSE. Moreover, YOU will absorb the FULL AND OVER-VALUED LOSS from those failed entities that are unsalvagable. YOU are told that the salaries of the CEOs, Boards, and upper management of these FAILED institutions/businesses/financial institutions should be paid. YOU were told these same entities were to BIG to fail, and yet they did fail due to those SAME responsible parties who demand their payements for DESTROYING the world markets and finances. YOU were told bankrupcy of these TO BIG TO FAIL entities would destroy the world economies. DUH, the world's economies WERE destroyed.
Bankruptcy would have cleared those failures, and the economies and markets would have restructured.
The question is WHY can't you equate these present issues with issues you are already familiar with, such as ERON, Madoff, the Silverado banking scam, the Hunt Bros. Gold scam, and all the other GREED based failures and scams leveraged across the world.. WORLD CURRENCY No so remarkable, we have the world's actual financiers [like China and others] wanting to create a WORLD CURRECY. And we see the present controllers NOT wanting such.
The reason is that the nations of the world would be placed upon an even scale. Were there to be a world currency, REAL financing would be placed based upon a REAL valuation of the nation, rather than fake valuation, business and financial scams, and individual government manipulations. It becomes to hard and involved to create false value in the markets and nations. SCARY? Not really, because that IS were the world needs to go. It takes control away from the financial aristocrcy, and places it back within the peoples' control.
Likely, it would end world hunger, end many of the world's conflicts and wars, and place *all* the people on an even scale of worth across the planet. But that's ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT, that's SOCIALISM, that's COMMUNISM, that's anti-capitalism, that's anti-democracy, that's WHATEVER...!!!!!!
Yes and no.
FIRST, those are labels applied by governemnts and people to LOCALIZE the issues in the *light* THEY want them seen in. They actually mean little outside of that created LABEL.
SECOND
It is WAY PAST TIME for the people of the world to realise that this planet Earth is *our ONLY PLANET* and *WE *ALL* HAVE TO LIVE HERE*.
WE have to take care of ourselves and those around us, but we also have to take care of this planet first of all. WE HAVE NO-WHERE ELSE TO GO.
Likely, should we actually make it to the future and make this great leap of enlightenment regarding ourselves and this planet, there will be no currency at all. That is an is an interesting projection. Because then what's done on the planet is done for the benefit of all. Payment is personal satisfaction and appreciation by the people of the world. Yes you can live better than others should you provide societal contributions which benefit the whole, but they will also benefit. 3/16/2009 Economic Stimulous, markets, and ponzie schemesOkay, let's see if we can understand what's actually going on with the markets and finance around the world.
IN THE NEWS (US) we saw a legal action regarding a ponzie scheme in which people were told they could make large sums of money by investing.
The same holds true for ANY of the markets. READ what a ponzie scheme is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme Think of it like this... the markets crashed [were shown as not worth the value they were purported to be worth, review the ponzie scheme link again and think about what happened].
The people across the world were FORCED to provide funds to the very over-priced businesses and financial institutions, and MAJOR PLAYERS that had created these ponzie scams and skimmed off the profits for themselves.
The controllers and major participants of these ponzie scams lost some of their value [money, etc.] HOWEVER, they really had none of it to start with, it is and was a world wide scam.
NOW, however, having placed the people across the world in the position of being responsible for the losses THE SCAMMERS experianced, the scammers get to continue to claim value and worth.
They also get to keep most of their jets, multiple houses, summer homes, BMWs, Porches and the like; and continue to act as if they control the world AND present that *without this SCAM* the world will collapse. DO NOT expect them to trickle down some work for you though, or be overly concerned that YOU may lose your home or not have one, that takes REAL MONEY to fix. DO NOT over-look that with the trillions now BACK IN THEIR HANDS, YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN could have had full health care, your home PAID FOR, your retirement accounts replenished, the infrastructure repaired across the nations, and Social Security [U.S.] FOREVER fixed - with a few trillion left-over.. Might also want to think about how you intend to pay THEM the money you own them, which in America is now about $256,000.00 PER PERSON, unless you want to add in the prior promises they made for you to other nations holding American debt,,, then you own about 3.3 million dollars per person.{all the money/credit BORROWED and NOT paid back since the 1930s}, HOWEVER, you can't use U.S. currency to pay it back as it is based upon THAT DEBT/credit. So just how do you expect to pay what you owe? 2/2/2009 Why the world WILL experiance a depression The reason for the collapse of the world's markets and economies can not be overlooked when analyzing the WHY and HOW related to this created crisis.
More importantly, it is crucial to consider WHY the attempts to recover will not work as they presently are being attempted. We ended up in this position because of the supposed *experts* who were handling the banks, nation economies, financial markets and institutions, and otherwise supposedly CONTROLLING the world's economies ALL have fostered the same styles of financial fallacies. ALL of these controllers have the same basic ideas on how financials should be handled, how economies work, and how business should be run. They have obtained these ideas generally by what they have been taught - in schools/Universities, through contact with other supposed experts also trained in those same styles of schools and schooling, and the with the same ideas. Apparently NONE of them can think "outside the box" of this false financial world they have created, grown up during, and worked in. This whole process has become, in essence, a new form of "religious endevour". When there is no REAL worth to the supposed *monies* being transferred, there is no *REAL* transfer occurring. Nothing of value is transferred to receive the goods purchased, the building materials, or whatever else was part of this supposed transaction. There is a supposed *value* but it is based upon credit [future promise] which can not be paid off. Unlike the last world depression [1920-early 30s] when *money* was backed by actual gold, silver, land, goods, and other *physically real* items, this depression has nothing within the transactions on one side. The *real goods* have been transferred, e.g., the oil, lumber, tea, gold, silver, titanium, diamonds, manufactured goods, software, whatever,, but the received payment for those *goods* is nothing but a *PROMISE* to transfer something of value *some other time*. Regretfully, all the experts and controllers know full well that these *PROMISES* can not be met and were *NEVER intended to be honored*.
However, as long as this fiat money was accepted for *real goods*, a vast financial fallacy could be erected. One in which, bankrupt nations, which produced relatively few *real goods* or required other nations resources to produce whatever goods they did create, could CLAIM high value for their "money" and/or for their produced goods. A literal financial aristocracy could and was built without the necessity of any real value. All seemed to work fairly well [from the 30s until the 70s, depending upon which nation you lived in], as long as no one ever questioned WHEN the *PROMISE* to transfer something of REAL VALUE would be honored. During the 1960s-1970s, growing nations began to want *real worth* for their *real goods*. *Promises* could be dis-honored [refused payment or value] due to political reasons leaving these supplier nations with NOTHING but a loss of national resources, loss of revenue, and loss of political standing from their own peoples; OR, could be ceased [as the *PROMISE* *value* was held in banks rather than physically *in* the nation, e.g., gold, silver, or other PHYSICAL materials/goods held within the nation]. Moreover, due to the *FIAT MONEY* [the value of which could be DECLARED by the controllers regardless of any real value/worth of the issuer], nations with vast resources or rare resources, could be held at artificial levels of development, e.g., as poor nations/third world. This also worked well for certain CONTROLLER nations [whose fiat monies were used to *base* the financial world upon] until supposed third world nations began to receive businesses from elsewhere or created their own, or began their own manufacturing while the controllers stopped or limited their own manufacturing. The supposed controllers then have nothing to hold out as support for the fiat money. However, the supposed financial experts, analysts, and economists believe because they created this vast FALSE financial world of fiat monies, they will be able to continue to control the financial world. When this occurs, the supposed controller nations lose their ability to force acceptance of the fiat money, because THEY become the requesting nation [the nation of need], the one needing other nations' goods and resources. The nations that hold those needed things, no longer need to accept being told what THEIR goods are worth compared to the fiat money offer. The purported third world nations, now the world's manufacturers, need little from the former controller/manufacturing nations. Hence we find ourselves in this world financial crisis with apparently NO ONE able to provide an answer to HOW to end it. They can't accept that this false finanical world is ending. It will end when the natural course of financial adjustment occurs. Nations having goods or resources the world needs will replace those no longer viable, or the world will experience yet another battle for world dominance in which the people will suffer. A VERY DANGEROUS TIME PERIOD. Governments tend to gravitate towards war during these time periods. Land becomes precious, food becomes scarce, and military *might* becomes an apparent avenue to obtain what the nation needs. Political *persuasion* voiced by nations which are, in fact, nations in financial crisis and without their own manufacturing base, become less of an incentive. ... Many would point out that the world would not have progressed to the point it is today without this created financial fallacy. There are arguments on both sides of that coin... regardless of either, when the financial fraud ends [as it is], the world MUST re-adjust to an ACTUAL level of value. Dumping billions or trillions more fiat money at the problem does nothing of real value; it does, however, create an ever deeper collapse at the middle of the cycle of adjustment. Short periods of apparent growth may occur, but there is no anchor point upon which to base REAL value or the hoped for recovery.. What does this mean for us, the regular people of the world? We will bear the burden [as always]. We will starve, lose our homes, and be forced into ever deeper distress. What does it mean for Americans in particular... we will watch the nation thrown into chaos while the financiers fill their pockets.
There is a great expectation with the new political administration,, one which Americans feel will save them from the impending depression. Regretfully, without places to work and resultant goods to "trade", there can be no recovery.
We need look no further than congress. Posturing and gesturing while pursuing private political and finacial enrichment. THEY expect to weather this "storm" shielded by their political power.
11/21/2008 Online Privacy - real or imagined, or, WHAT online privacy?!!!This is pursuant to a discussion upon: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion under the discussion thread: Changing IP - started 11/18/08 - in which I have participated as primary responder. The discussion started with query concerning how to change the IP address of an *always on* high speed [cable or ADSL or DSL or other] user's access via modem/modem router. Explanation was given pursuant how to do so which included generally being required to contact the provider concerning the change [do to billing, and user control, and that provider's network security]; network aspects {local and the Internet *network*}; through anonymous usage and other. Rather than posting in that limitedly viewed discussion group, I thought it important enough to post it here. Please review the discussion [Google Groups or elsewhere] for the background ---------- Response to post relating to government activities Well, I waited to see if others would jump in here.... guess not... You're correct as far as you have taken the matter... however it fails to address HOW and WHY this lack of privacy began. A short and imprecise explanation: Early in the institution of the Internet as a public access network, rather than the private network it was previously{limited to government and universities}, one could rely upon the ISP to protect your personal information. The ISP guarded this information with relative jealous zeal, the financial enrichment was via the users the ISP had, and if other upstart ISPs found their users, they might be lost. In fact the Laws then applied and the early Internet guidelines required them to do so. Within the first few years, the vast commercial value of this information was realized by the ISPs, and we began to see Notices relating to "sharing this information with associates" being posted upon the services. Supposedly, the information was limited, and would not be disclosed in a manner which could be used to identify the individual [something we still see claimed almost everywhere]. That was {and is}, of course, not a reality. It misdirected the users on how the Internet network actually worked and the depth of information being gathered and shared. Several organizations were formed {such as EFF - Electronic Frontier Foundation, ICANN and related; WWW{W3C} Consortium; others} which took issue with this collected information and its dissemination to other entities. Court cases were entered, and Congress made additional Laws related to privacy protection, and limitation of the collected information and its usage. For a short time one was relatively secured in online privacy issues, or more accurately, most users *thought* they were. As with everything in *cooperative federalism* {corporatism - capitalism}, financial enrichment at the expense of and detriment to users/consumers has generally been followed by corporations and businesses. We can see this blatantly reflected in today's *markets* and the congressional hearings now occurring in America, and across the world. Many corporations/businesses listed and traded on the markets actually have NO REAL VALUE. They exist largely due to traders CLAIMING they have value, and certification by market controllers [including government entities] that they do. Where once, perhaps in the early stages of the business/corporation, a viable product was produced or service offered; it appears that when the level of *tradable* value enters, the controlling factors become shear profit, investor demands/expectations, and/or the *appearance* of perceived/projected value. *Appearance* can be and generally is: deliberately misleading. User information is too valuable a commodity/asset when so many others want access to that collected information. However, there still were existing Laws, Rules, and Guidelines which provided a measure of protection, and those found violating this *privacy* were prosecutable either civilly or criminally. Enter the age of *terrorism*. Once this perceived *terrorism* began to be addressed, user's privacy on the Internet became a secondary consideration. Now access to all this collected information could reasonably be argued as necessary for the protection of the world. New Laws [anti-terrorism related] were erected related to accessing this collected information, and though supposedly limited in scope, once the door was opened, this VALUABLE information essentially lost any protections it might have enjoyed. Between the corporations/businesses and the governments, the exchange of information is now commonplace. This information includes [but not limited to] IP addresses, user/sending locations and receiving addresses, the actual user {if not a public access "hotspot"}, other collected information [such as medical, court, financial, cell phone, etc.], and user Internet *usage history*. The courts WILL entertain arguments and complaints concerning this information and dissemination, but the once thought of *RIGHT to privacy* has been severely limited, and is defined more as a regulatable * privilege * granted, limited, or removed according to government. However, don't be mislead here either. Look CAREFULLY at what is presently occurring across the world. Governments are largely controlled BY corporations and that FACT is being blatantly exposed. |
