United States Government CORRUPT NO HONOR FRAUDING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE How can a group of Congressmen judge one of their fellow members when almost to the person they are guilty or suspected of similar crimes ripoff Washington, DC

I guess it's all in a day's work. You operate a scam and if you get caught you might have to fork over some of your pocket change and then it's back to stealing some more.

I sent the webmasters a couple of articles:
"The Great Bank Thievery" and "Support Your Local Embezzler". These 1997 and 1998 articles told the disturbing story of how Bank of America -- you know, the "Higher Standards" company -- stole "millions if not billions" from California's mutual fund.

The 2003 case below shows they are still at it. How many times do they get to do this before sombody sticks a pipe in their spokes and puts some of these crooks in jail?

Crooked To The Hilt

Dear Honorable...

I write to you regarding the current ethics committee review in the case of James Traficant. I think it goes without saying that Mr. Traficant is a unique representative of the people, and very outspoken. That is no reason to continue with this persecution.

I have a concern and it is as follows;

How can a group of Congressmen judge one of their fellow members when almost to the person they are guilty or suspected of similar crimes. I'm not sure that the phrase "by a jury of his peers" applys here.

I don't know if Mr. Traficant is guilty, but I do know that the Congress has become almost totally corrupt, as has the judicary. Violations of the Bill of Rights are commonplace. Even bringing up the word Constitution causes censure or contempt charges in many courts.

It appears to me, as an interested observer of American politics and justice, that almost every Congressman takes a class in how to ignore the constitution as soon as they are elected. The existence of the privately owned banking cartel known as "The Fedral Reserve System", is proof of this. Where did congress get the authority to give away the natinal banking system to a corrupt group of mostly european bankers ? Where in the Constitution is this allowed? Why does it continue?

Why would Congress pass the USA Patriot Act, in the middle of the night, and without an opportunity for the members to read the legislation. The fact that the USA Patriot Act was pre-written by attorneys representing JP Morgan Chase is a slap in the face to any person who loves this country.

Let's face it. American jurisprudence has become a joke on the world stage. The system is corrupt as are most of the Congressmen. I hope you are not one of them.

I suspect that the real reason for the prosecution of James Traficant relates to the speech he gave on the house floor in about 1993 whereby he acknowledged that Congress has no power to legislate as it is merely the trustee to the largest bankruptcy in world history. *see HJR-192 and Senate Report 93-549

If Mr. Traficant is punished for his "crime," then let's get started with the rest of the criminals right away. I post the following e-mail for your consideration. I'm sure that the numbers are actually worse since this list was compiled and circulated on the net. If nothing else, maybe it will bring a smile to your face. Mr Taficant is in good company.

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500
employees and has the following statistics ?:
29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least two businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is? Give up yet?

Its the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of folks that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Consider sending a copy of this letter to your Congressman and local media before it's too late.

Congress has become Corrupt...Then again, Americans have known that for Years.

"WHO'S LOOKING OUT FOR YOU?"

I list a number of ways the federal government, which operates courtesy of your tax dollars, is simply not looking out for you. And by far, the largest failure on the part of the feds is the supporting of illegal activities of Corporat Criminals. Take a Look at the recent Fairbanks Capitol issue. That will tell you who they are Protecting!

Are the feds looking out for you?

I am so sorry to mention this, however there is a war going on right now. That is because the Government allowed terrorist to come in to this Great country called American an far to many Families Lost Their Love Ones. Of course the US President an politicians who already new what was going on just hued an cried, promising the Government "will" take care of this. Well, that is far to late for the Americans who lost their lives, because the Government new what was going on but did not act on it till it was to LATE!

AMERICANS PRIDE THEMSELVES on what we may call the Great American Myth of Self-Government.

But in a very real sense we are governed not by ourselves but by a collection of men and women quite separate from ourselves. That, of course, is contrary to everything we learn in school. Then, again, most of those schools belong to some government.

NOT YOURS TO GIVE...FTC an HUD!

The FEDS simply did not do it...Instead they supported illegal activites of A Corrperate Monster...Fairbanks Capitol....

"CORRUPT GOVERNMENT"

By Allan C. Stover

Who can blame us Americans for feeling that we're passengers on a runaway train called the United States, helpless to stop it before it runs over a symbolic clifftaking us and our children and grandchildren with it into a brave new world or 1084 or worse? A Harris Pole found that most of us believe "the people running the country don't really care what happens to you. Politicians, media wonks, celebrities, judges, teachers, professors, and activists endorse a national insanity as though it were normal. Small wonder so many of us are convinced that inmates run our American asylum.

It would show true in the sense that Criminals are running our Country. When the FTC an HUD, DID NOT DO THEIR JOBS IN INVESTIGATING PMI an Fairbanks Capitol for ILLEGAL PRACTICES. What they did do, is take hush money an turn the other way.

LIST OF PUBLIC CORRUPTION CASES

by Larry Becraft

This list could be the source for many articles. In a brief, you can make the statement that Congressmen are crooked, and then footnote a variety of cases to support that proposition. Or, you can say that IRS agents are criminals, and cite the ones noted herein. You can cite the Nunan case as a example of a former IRS Commissioner who was convicted of tax evasion.

Wake Up - You Are On Your Way Out

The middle class working poor is approaching extinction.


November 6, 2003

The middle class family is systematically being destroyed. The institution of marriage, the morality of religion, the jobs that supported this segment of Americas population is dying a slow painful death ... and it was planned.

The jobs that supported this essential segment were first moved to where the labor, environmental and human rights restrictions were of no consequence.

So! what was left that enabled those displaced to succeed in spite of such destructive corporate actions, actions that were prohibited when our country was formed? It was the service society we were told would be more beneficial to the welfare of those mangled by the goings on.

Well! the high end service jobs that were to be the replacement for the traditional source of income was an outright deception and those that were suckered into believing the trickery are now suffering the consequences.

To improve the bottom line of corporations and in turn improving wall street markets that in turn is putting $$$ into the pockets of the unscrupulous, those service jobs are being outsourced to countries where labor, even amongst the well educated, is happy to earn pennies on the dollar as compared to labor here.

This is not a willy-nilly advance to a New World Order. It is going according to a planned schedule and most frightening it has been backed every inch of the way by our elected servants. You know ... the ones we elected to protect our rights, our future and the future of our children.

We are just about at the point when corporate will be a shell in America and their manufacturing and service providers will be dispersed all over the glob. That will be the end of what we the people and the end of a country that reached a golden age which was stopped dead in tracks by the powerful elite.

While the destruction of the middle class is happening the ladder to success of those at the bottom is also being thwarted. With no middle to climb to where are they to go?

The flood of illegal aliens is no happenstance. The borders to our country were deliberately left open so as to provide a cheap labor force that would even rival the minimum wage worker that is a citizen of the U.S.A..

The future of the American family and its historically treasured opportunities is coming to an end. If you don't see it you have your head buried in the sand.

To add insult to injury the ACLU has become an oxymoron. What civil liberties are they supporting? The answer is they are destroying the family, morality, and opportunity.

They are but a blatant example of what is going on. The true destruction is coming from those that have a lock on what our government is forced to do as they bow to the money that put them into power.

If you don't realize it by now, wake up. It doesn't matter who you vote for, the powers that are,"control them all." That is what it has come to. A ruinous ongoing outlook for our future.

If you consider this article a dismal defeatist commentary that has no solution I'm sorry for you. It is written as a wake up call for those that are still optimistic and willing to fight for the return of our country to "we the people."

CORPORATE -- HAVE THEY BECOME GOVERNMENT?

October 18, 2003

This topic alone can fill volumes with bewildering research. Focusing more productively on the bottom line, let's try to bring about some useful clarity. First, there is a camouflaged absence of our government, a government presumably still functioning on our behalf. If we reexamine the aspirations of the revolution to rid us of corporate power "the aristocracy," and review the ensuing legal controls constructed to prevent that kind of power from ever again dominating our lives ... that is where to begin. It was a time when we the successful rejoiced. It was also a time when the defeated regrouped with intentions to persist and carry on.

At the time of our revolution, citizens sanctioned their state legislatures with the power and obligation, to control the Crown's corporations they were suffering under. Exploitation at that time was devised and implemented by enforcing arrogant rules on the original "Crown colonies" by companies of the King of England -- by the East India Trading Companies of Europe -- by the Hudson Bay Company ... to name a few. Colonists did not revolt solely to get rid of a tea tax. They fought for many reasons, principally, to create a country where citizens were the government ruling over corporations (then called charters).

After ridding ourselves of the king and his controlling companies, the decree entrusted to legislators was to severely limit the issuance of charters (companies) allowed to operate in America. Charters were to be carefully issued, one at a time, and for a limited amount of time. The corporations were to be formed under strict rules and subjected to constant surveillance. Their obligation was to benefit "We The People" -- do us no harm ... and they were subject to immediate dissolution if they went astray.

This euphoric intent was not going to last very long. The "power of money" immediately began to chip away at that extraordinary attempt. Throughout the eighteen hundreds, industrialists, bankers, and cooperative decisions of judges, slowly but surely reendowed corporations with their lost rights ... in fact gave them more rights than any citizen might enjoy. Quietly, deftly, corporate and government were partners once more. Corrupting the intent of our laws continued in earnest.

The most flagrant dissolution of our revolutionary accomplishments began in 1886. The U.S. Supreme court ruled that a private corporation was ... "a natural person." Sixty years afterwards, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas wrote ... "there was no history, logic, or reason, to support that enactment."

Once corporations had secured the status of "a natural person," they had unrestricted freedom of speech and the power to immorally participate in elections and apply their wealth toward lobbying elected officials. The turn around was firmly in place. The handwriting was on the wall. Corporate kept growing stronger as law after law, recommend under their influence, created an unjustifiable but favorable atmosphere ... almost guaranteeing continued invincibility. Was this the turning point when corporate became government? They had certainly attained the capabilities of distorting our lives ... while concealing action or intent. Our elected officials, now converted to being "powers' emissaries" ... became committed front men for "power's agenda of dominance." Until today, behind closed doors, accelerating with dizzying speed and full approval of our elected, corporate has just about eradicated the cause of our revolution. We fought a war to be rid of a "king and his controlling corporations."

To reconcile corporate strength against government fragility, we must realize, "corporate wealth" has proven it has the capability to create policy anywhere it has a mind to. Corporate has become the legendary thousand pound gorilla. Should we lament, give in and say what can we do? We didn't take that approach when forming our country.

From records of the past decade, it is shown, the 500 largest corporations control 25% of the world's economic output. They are well advanced in their agenda to globalize the marketplace. They are known as multinational behemoths. It's that gorilla again. These numbers are not static statistics; They are growing exponentially. The larger of the multinationals now have more clout than many nations. In short order, if not checked, they will have more clout than any nation on earth. Would that be the logical advance to "the New World Order"?

What is a corporation? Simply put, a device of royalty. Regardless of what guise or title it assumes, it inevitably wields the tool we all know of as ... control. What has brought it to the forefront of our lives once again -- capable of more social destruction than ever before in history? It's the "Chip." Let me repeat once again -- "the greater the territory of power" ... the greater becomes the need for rapid information and communication. The "Chip" has made that possible ... beyond their dreams.

As corporations go about their business of encircling and packaging the world, countries and their armies are coming to the fold, accepting a new role as a member of the UN. Once the UN was a forum. Now the UN has developed all the earmarks of being on the way to becoming an autocracy. Just recently our Congress mounted a campaign to prevent the reelection of Butras Butras Gallie. Why? We were practically alone in an action most countries opposed. We prevailed. I believe "Power" was the actual winner. What was the purpose. The UN is one of the jumping off platforms for a "New World Order."

Wherever we look we have been shoved back to where we started from. Our country, once dead set on controlling corporate influence has returned the scepter to power to them. "We The People" have become isolated from shaping our own destiny. We are very close to once again energizing revolutionary actions. How was it possible for this to happen? What must we do to evade the specter of this emerging world government? Has it become more defensible to presume that our government, influenced and committed by accepting power's monetary investments, can no longer do the business of "We The People"?

"Power" has assembled everything necessary for dominance ... at a fraction of normal cost. They have the money; they control the commodities, they can regulate wages, they can confine public disclosure of information, they have control of the "Chip" and most important of all, they have the support of vast military assurances ... that will protect, fight and die for their interests.

"Intel" has developed a "Chip" for computers that can handle a trillion bits of information per second. It will cost about fifty five million dollars per computer. As we can't possibly have a computer with that formidable capacity, who has the advantage? Where will it end? Have I touched on enough subjects to get you thinking about what power is doing? Is it too far fetched to advance and assume that power and government have callously restructured our system of democracy. Is the supposition that power has become government somewhat reasonable? Agreeing to that might possibly clarify what is happening to our society, and why.

John C. Calhoun spoke these words back in the nineteenth century. "The very essence of a free government, consists in considering offices as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the country, and not for the benefit of an individual party." He further stated, "A power has risen up in government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and powerful interests, combined into one mass, held together by money." The realization of what was happening was apparent even then ... even before today's advanced technological tool of power was even a dream. He understood then "There was great ability in concealing ability."

Precisely what we suffer from today is the ability of our government to conceal what they can, and are already in the process of doing. We have been excluded from knowing, prevented from participating, and silenced when defending. This hardly resembles a government ... "Of, By, and For The People." It does resemble the normal organizational profiles of corporate ... dedicated to closely guarding information and dispersing it only when absolutely necessary, and then only on a need to know basis. So! -- has our government not taken on the appearance of a corporation or has corporate obviously redesigned our government? We have to keep returning to the same questions. Is corporate running our country? Is there a gathering of power greater yet than corporate? "In turn," is corporate just another level of protective front men?

Reaching for connections, we lack a clear road map that might lead us to the top of the "Power Tower." The best we can do is to connect the obvious dots. It should enable us to develop a reasonable path of identification.

The majority of Americans have determined that their future has been dramatically altered. The majority of Americans no longer have the motivation to participate in their electoral process. The majority of Americans are displaying mistrust of their government. The majority of Americans fear we are becoming a society of have and have-nots. The majority of Americans are teetering on a shared blow-up. Most of all ... "The majority of Americans agree that something is very wrong." The majority didn't promote this dilemma. The majority doesn't want this abrupt change of direction. They have no idea where the "fabulous bridge to the future" ... will transport them to. Sure as God made little green apples ... they won't tolerate it much longer.

Tens of millions are now marching to the same drummer. They are convinced that corruption scored by power, unless effectively combated, will be our downfall ... will dissolve the American dream. The diplomacy power has been using against us is failing by the minute.

As diplomacy is normally a prelude to war ... the question becomes "when and how." The tools of war for both sides might well be the one power believes is theirs alone, the power of the "Chip." Our military knows that the power of the chip will be the most effective weapon of choice in future wars. Governments are now using the "Chip" to effectively infiltrate one-anothers business. the adroit hacker has been successful too. We are entering an era when information will combat information.

Social indicators, unmistakably screaming for relief, have been callously muffled. Why? Has power become so smitten with itself that the specter of an effective uprising ... becomes none existent?

What are the social indicators ... "power must be aware of"?

About 50% of families today are running in circles, trying to hold on to what they have achieved.

Families having transitioned to two or more wage earners has grown to 60% ... because of necessity.

Increasingly, wage earners are convinced their financial dilemma will only grow worse.

Close to 70% believe corporate will continue to reduce livable wage opportunity ... for the masses.

Job satisfaction has decreased dramatically among managers, administrators, sales workers, electrical workers, craft workers, and especially among operatives and none-farm workers.

Job dissatisfaction is greatest amongst those age 21 to 29. They are struggling to apply their various levels of education to what they were led to believe was a waiting open market.

We lead the world in the disruption of our lives from crime such as: murder, theft, drugs, rape ... all, absolutely out of control.

A projection of countries expected to have the greatest economic difficulties ranks the United States at the head of the list.

Public confidence in major companies, the executive branch of our government, congress, media, and organized labor unions ... is approaching zero.

Upwards of 80% of us are beginning to believe only the rich will get richer; Our officials in Washington have written us out of the equation, what we think no longer matters, the lords of power have relegated us to the irrelevant ones. Our laws have been used against us and "we are being left to twist in the wind."

The Washington Herald, May 24, 1992, reports "Nearly one in ten Americans are receiving food stamps. Not just inner-city poor ... but an increasing amount of deteriorating middle-class poor."

In the Seattle Times is letter from Joyce Lain Kennedy: "My son, after struggling through an MBA program, is being offered the same wages as was once offered for those having only a bachelors degree. I do office work and only getting offers equal to what I earned twenty years ago."

A report by John Crudel, explains how Washington whitewashes statistics. Calculating the numbers properly, he shows a reported 18,000 reduction of unemployed ... actually concealed a true rise of 21,944 unemployed.

An article "NO Way Out" by O. Casey Corr, highlights the problems and despair of the middle-class. A law graduate can't find proper work and is looking in other countries. A farmer must drive a school bus to survive. A struggling working mother can't buy shoes for her children. A printing company executive had to settle for part time work after he was caught in downsizing. An insurance executive earning $40,000 gets the downsizing pink slip and now earns $10,000.

The headlines of today reveal our predicament and foretell a sorrowful ending of the American dream.

More Moms have outside jobs ... some sliding into poverty

Actions, not handouts, are what matters.

Struggling to maintain standard of living.

Baby-boomers say ... life got harder since their parent's generation

Why hasn't the wealth trickled down?

"Power unchecked" must be singled out as the cause for our present disintegrating condition. We have to stop the flow of their pomposity and let them know in no uncertain terms "we know," we will never be passengers on their economic rocket to the stars.

Greed and corruption have so thoroughly detached power from the masses, they may no longer even understand the usefulness of the thought ... compromise can be rewarding.

To make any further sense of what is happening and combat it, we must better understand the mechanisms of the "world of power."

The FTC an HUD ARE SUPPOSE TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE, NOT FOR CORORATE COMPANIES WHO ARE OPENLY COMMITTING CRIMES.

This is to show all Americans that The US. GOVERMENT IS IN FACT CORRUPT!
