CAFR of Social Security by Clint Richardson

Social Security Trust Fund Tops $2.6 Trillion
i
8 Votes
Well folks, it’s that time of year again.

I decided to take a look at the newer 2011 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the Social Security Trust Funds – which is actually named:

“THE 2011 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE
FEDERAL OLD-AGE AND SURVIVORS INSURANCE
AND FEDERAL DISABILITY INSURANCE TRUST FUNDS”

You may download this CAFR here:
http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/TR/2011/

Yes… for those of you who don’t know, the Social Security program has a massive investment trust fund that hoards your hard earned money into it every single year, and uses that money to invest in such things as war and occupation of other countries, junk bonds and federal securities – including mortgage-backed securities – and of course national and international banks and investments.

Remember, the main function of government’s taxation program is not to support government operations, but rather to increase the fund balances of governmental funds in order to create and support a massive investment based pool, which is then used for all of the non-taxpayer legal criminal activities that government participates in – what it deems as “non-governmental operations” using what it likes to consider “non-taxpayer money” derived from these investments and their returns. You see, your corporate government figures that any gains it is able to collect from investing your taxpayer money is there’s to keep and play around with at its leisure.

Of course, the Federal government continues to tell the people of America that the Social Security system is in financial ruin, and will be broke by the time many of us come-a-collectin’ in just a couple of decades. They tell us that the evil baby-boomers will strip Social Security bare, and drain the entire program into oblivion.

But I’m here to tell you that this just isn’t true. In fact, it is one of the biggest fallacies ever perpetrated upon the American public. It is a lie hidden in plain sight, just as most government programs and funds have turned out to be.

And so, according to the 2011 CAFR for the Board of Trustees of the Social Security System, the Social Security Trust Funds have a combined total of…

$2.6 trillion dollars.

W-W-What? You heard that right, my friends. Spelled out with all of those pesky zeros in place, that looks like this…

Total assets, December 31, 2010

$2,608,950,000,000

If that were to be displayed in 1 dollar bills, it would be a pile of green notes that, when stacked on top of each other, would reach all the way to the moon… and back!!!

For those of you who didn’t see the ending of “The Great Pension Fund Hoax”, we discovered that the Social Security trust funds had over $2.5 trillion dollars in the 2009 CAFR. In 2006, that figure was $1.8 trillion. That was an investment return of about $700 billion dollars in just 5 short years.

See the full film here, or skip ahead to the last half hour to see this information:


Now, as is usually the case, the government omits this knowledge from its public disclosure of the Social insurance system by simply omitting the pertinent investment portfolio and interest gains from the taxpayer budget report that is spirited out to the public. And it does not mention the word CAFR in any session of government or in any public forum. You will not hear about this report on the nightly news. In short, by hiding this information from taxpayer disclosure, the government is lying by omission. And this sort of malfeasance is taking place in every facet of local, county, state, and federal government.

Now, let’s take a look at what Timothy Geithner and the other Trustees of the Social Security Trust Funds have to say to the public about the state of these funds…

Status of the Social Security and Medicare Programs

A SUMMARY OF THE 2011 ANNUAL REPORTS
Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC:
Each year the Trustees of the Social Security and Medicare trust
funds report on the current and projected financial status of the
two programs. This message summarizes our 2011 Annual Reports.

Social Security

Social Security expenditures exceeded the program’s non-interest
income in 2010 for the first time since 1983. The $49 billion
deficit last year (excluding interest income) and $46
billion projected deficit in 2011 are in large part due to the
weakened economy and to downward income adjustments that
correct for excess payroll tax revenue credited to the trust funds
in earlier years. This deficit is expected to shrink to about $20
billion for years 2012-2014 as the economy strengthens.
After 2014, cash deficits are expected to grow rapidly as the
number of beneficiaries continues to grow at a substantially
faster rate than the number of covered workers. Through 2022,
the annual cash deficits will be made up by redeeming trust fund
assets from the General Fund of the Treasury. Because these
redemptions will be less than interest earnings, trust fund
balances will continue to grow. After 2022, trust fund assets will
be redeemed in amounts that exceed interest earnings until trust
fund reserves are exhausted in 2036, one year earlier than was
projected last year. Thereafter, tax income would be sufficient to
pay only about three-quarters of scheduled benefits through 2085.

Source: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/TRSUM/index.html

Well now, wait a darn minute here! Didn’t the CAFR just state that the Social Security system had a $90 billion dollar increase in capital gains? How then can this budget report state with a straight face that the fund suffered a $46 billion dollar loss?

Ah… this is government’s creative accounting.

But let’s go one step further.

Back to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, where it shows on page 36:

Actuarial Estimates

Table IV.A1. – Operations of the OASI Trust Fund, Calendar Years 2006-2020

1) Best case scenario – The fund will increase to
$4.054 trillion dollars by 2020, which equals an investment gain of about $1.4 trillion dollars in just 8 years.

2) Intermediate scenario – The Fund will increase to
$3.671 trillion dollars by 2020, which equals an investment gain of about $1 trillion dollars in just 8 years.

3) Worse case scenario – The fund will increase to
$3.278 trillion dollars by 2020, which equals an investment gain of about $600 billion dollars in just 8 years.

So here the Board of Trustees is telling us in the CAFR (audit) of these funds that they will no doubt increase by at least many hundreds of billions of dollars, while at the same time publicly announcing that the Social Security system is showing a current and a future projected deficit of $46 billion dollars for 2011 fiscal year.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the perfect embodiment of how your many governments, be it local, state, or federal, are literally fooling you by the simple act of omission of the pertinent information held within the government audit (the CAFR report) and spoon-feeding the American public a heaping dose of fear-based half-truths sprinkled with a splash of treason, and finished off with a good laugh all the way to the banks (which government owns as majority stock holder of those banks).

And we the people keep feeding the monkeys instead of starving them!

Oh, I’m sorry…

Did I interrupt re-runs of “Dancing With The Stars”?

34 Facts about Debt

34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger


We have all been lied to. For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control. As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again. Well you know what? It is all a giant sham. The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this. The current system is irretrievably broken. 30 years ago the U.S. debt was a horrific crisis that was completely and totally out of control. If we would have dealt with it back then maybe we could have done something about it. But now it is 15 times larger, and we are adding more than a trillion dollars to the debt every single year. The facts that you are about to read below should set America on fire with anger. Please share them with as many people as you can. What we are doing to our children and our grandchildren is absolutely nightmarish. Words like "abuse", "financial rape", "theft" and "crime" do not even begin to describe what we are doing to future generations. We were the wealthiest nation on earth, but it wasn't good enough just to squander all of our own money. We had to squander the money of our children and our grandchildren as well. America has been so selfish and so self-centered that it is hard to argue that we don't deserve what is about to happen to this country. We have stolen the future of America, and yet we strut around as if we are the smartest generation that ever walked the face of the earth.

All of this prosperity that we see all around us is just an illusion. It is a false prosperity that has been purchased by the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world.

Did you know that if you added up all forms of debt in the United States and divided it up equally that every single family in the country would owe more than $683,000?

We are a nation that is absolutely addicted to debt, and the U.S. debt crisis threatens to destroy everything that our forefathers built.

Yes, everything may seem fine for the moment, but what do you think would happen if the federal government suddenly adopted a balanced budget?

1.3 trillion dollars a year would be sucked right out of the economy and we would be looking at an "economic readjustment" that would be mind blowing.

Enjoy this false prosperity while you can, because it is not going to last.

Debt is a very cruel master, and our day of reckoning is almost here.

The following are 34 shocking facts about U.S. debt that should set America on fire with anger....

#1 During fiscal year 2011, the U.S. government spent 3.7 trillion dollars but it only brought in 2.4 trillion dollars.

#2 When Ronald Reagan took office, the U.S. national debt was less than 1 trillion dollars. Today, the U.S. national debt is over 15.2 trillion dollars.

#3 During 2011, U.S. debt surpassed 100 percent of GDP for the first time ever.

#4 According to Wikipedia, the monetary base "consists of coins, paper money (both as bank vault cash and as currency circulating in the public), and commercial banks' reserves with the central bank." Currently the U.S. monetary base is sitting somewhere around 2.7 trillion dollars. So if you went out and gathered all of that money up it would only make a small dent in our national debt. But afterwards there would be no currency for anyone to use.

#5 The U.S. government spent over 454 billion dollars just on interest on the national debt during fiscal 2011.

#6 The U.S. government has total assets of 2.7 trillion dollars and has total liabilities of 17.5 trillion dollars. The liabilities do not even count 4.7 trillion dollars of intragovernmental debt that is currently outstanding.

#7 During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.

#8 It is being projected that the U.S. national debt will surpass 23 trillion dollars in 2015.

#9 According to the GAO, the U.S. government is facing 34 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities for social insurance programs such as Social Security and Medicare. These are obligations that we have already committed ourselves to but that we do not have any money for.

#10 Others estimate that the unfunded liabilities of the U.S. government now total over 117 trillion dollars.

#11 According to the GAO, the ratio of debt held by the public to GDP is projected to reach 287 percent of GDP by 2086.

#12 Others are much less optimistic. A recently revised IMF policy paper entitled “An Analysis of U.S. Fiscal and Generational Imbalances: Who Will Pay and How?” projects that U.S. government debt will rise to about 400 percent of GDP by the year 2050.

#13 The United States government is responsible for more than a third of all the government debt in the entire world.

#14 If you divide up the national debt equally among all U.S. taxpayers, each taxpayer would owe approximately $134,685.

#15 Mandatory federal spending surpassed total federal revenue for the first time ever in fiscal 2011. That was not supposed to happen until 50 years from now.

#16 Between 2007 and 2010, U.S. GDP grew by only 4.26%, but the U.S. national debt soared by 61% during that same time period.

#17 During Barack Obama's first two years in office, the U.S. government added more to the U.S. national debt than the first 100 U.S. Congresses combined.

#18 When you add up all spending by the federal government, state governments and local governments, it comes to 46.6% of GDP.

#19 Our nation is more addicted to government checks than ever before. In 1980, government transfer payments accounted for just 11.7% of all income. Today, government transfer payments account for 18.4% of all income.

#20 U.S. households are now actually receiving more money directly from the U.S. government than they are paying to the government in taxes.

#21 A staggering 48.5% of all Americans live in a household that receives some form of government benefits. Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent.

#22 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid.

#23 In 1950, each retiree's Social Security benefit was paid for by 16 U.S. workers. According to new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are now only 1.75 full-time private sector workers for each person that is receiving Social Security benefits in the United States.

#24 The U.S. government now says that the Medicare trust fund will run out five years faster than they were projecting just last year.

#25 Right now, spending by the federal government accounts for about 24 percent of GDP. Back in 2001, it accounted for just 18 percent.

#26 If the U.S. government was forced to use GAAP accounting principles (like all publicly-traded corporations must), the U.S. government budget deficit would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $4 trillion to $5 trillion each and every year.

#27 If you were alive when Christ was born and you spent one million dollars every single day since that point, you still would not have spent one trillion dollars by now. But this year alone the U.S. government is going to add more than a trillion dollars to the national debt.

#28 If right this moment you went out and started spending one dollar every single second, it would take you more than 31,000 years to spend one trillion dollars.

#29 A trillion $10 bills, if they were taped end to end, would wrap around the globe more than 380 times. That amount of money would still not be enough to pay off the U.S. national debt.

#30 If the federal government began right at this moment to repay the U.S. national debt at a rate of one dollar per second, it would take over 470,000 years to pay off the national debt.

#31 If Bill Gates gave every penny of his fortune to the U.S. government, it would only cover the U.S. budget deficit for 15 days.

#32 According to Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a "fiscal gap" of over 200 trillion dollars in the future. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN....

The government's total indebtedness -- its fiscal gap -- now stands at $211 trillion, by my arithmetic. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations -- including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt -- and all projected future taxes.
#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars. That is more than $683,000 per family. Unfortunately, the average amount of savings per family in the U.S. is only about $4,735.

#34 The U.S. national debt is now more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was created back in 1913.

But do our leaders care about statistics such as these?

No.

In fact, Barack Obama says that we need to raise the debt limit by another 1.2 trillion dollars.

The absurdity of raising the debt limit when we are already in so much debt is beautifully illustrated by the video posted below....


I just thought that video was so well done.

The "huge cuts" that Congress has agreed to are absolutely meaningless when compared to how rapidly our debt is exploding.

Calling those cuts "pocket change" would be an insult to pocket change.

But it is not just U.S. debt that is the problem. The European debt crisis threatens to completely unravel in 2012 and Japan actually has the highest debt to GDP ratio in the entire industrialized world.

In 2012, a total of 7,600,000,000,000 dollars of debt must be rolled over by the G-7 nations, Brazil, Russia, India and China.

That doesn't even count new borrowing. That number just represents old debts that are coming due that must be refinanced.

Anyone out there that insists that this debt bubble can be fixed under our current system is lying.

A massive amount of financial pain is coming.

It is time for Americans to wake up from their television-induced comas.

It is time for Americans to get very angry.

Your future has been destroyed and the future of your children and grandchildren has been destroyed.

You better take action while you still can.

Its REALLY IN OUR HANDS!!

Here is a refresher look at a large government fund ("1" fund)

The Pie Chart shown is an interactive listing of the different categories of the investments held. What is shown is noted in "thousands" so add three zeros at the end of each number.

http://CAFR1.com/CALSTRS.html


What will amaze you is when you go down the listings of "domestic" and "global" investments listed both in equities; mortgages; bonds; and real-estate ventures.

Keep in mind this is just "one" government fund (a large one) out of tens of thousands of local and federal investment funds large and small.

With that in mind, then think of the collective ownership from all local and federal investment accounts. The private sectors ownership in comparison is insignificant at this point.

Clint Richardson from Utah took the time in one of his recent videos entitled: The Great Pension Fund Hoax (very long), to systematical go through a grouping of one large fund after another just targeting two companies to determine the "collective" ownership by just the showing of those few large funds looked at. One of the two was Apple Inc. From the showing of just a few large government funds the 50% ownership mark was breached rather quickly.

It really does not take to much cognitive thinking to then think of the collective many "other" government funds to establish almost absolute ownership of the same.

The population is constantly soundbite distracted never to look at the basics of collective ownership by government and additionally government has many symbiotic relationships with the media and education who are in full cooperation to never mention the same due to the money and control that those collective government investment ownership wield.

The biggest "fill in the blank" confirmation that is learned when the population looks and then comprehends government collective ownership "globally" is that the United States of America's political structure and thus United States Government (local and federal) has developed into a well organized corporate communist entity with a rather hostile fascist twist exercised and maintained through the courts and local / federal government statutory creation and control.

TREASON: "Treason doth never prosper; what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason." Sir John Harrington, 1561-1612

Separation of fictional TV entertainment combined with masterful selective presentation by the syndicated news media / organized education, or hard cold reality of the "facts"that have always been there but an intentional void was created due to the money and control involved is the choice every one needs to choose between to determine the inevitable outcome of their lives. In end result the choice boils down to "Masterfully entertained" or becoming an educated "Effective activist".

The World is ours but only if we make it so. And always remember: "If you are effective it is your own damn fault"

The Truth about ATTORNEYS Part 2

12/03/11



Government for the last ten-thousand years has always been: "Where the money is" and recently more money generated and held by each and every local and federal government operation than Midas ever dreamed about .

The population over the last ten-thousand years has suffered great threat and damage to their lives from the abuses that greed and opportunity produces through easy access from the inside walls of government from that wealth amassed and what its use can produce for a select group of inside players when no checks and balances are in place to avert such abuses.

Our fore-fathers created several barriers for government to keep the abuses in check. They wanted a centralized government but they also wanted a limited government. A centralized government that could network in time of war to protect the country and also network to maintain a strong economy where the population prospered.

The "States" and other local governments where allowed under the original organization structure to maintain their own houses under set general guidelines that applied to one and all. The three "Houses" of government were established to segregate power into three unique entities that could keep checks and balances in play to stop abuses of one branch by the corrective actions implemented from the other. The fore-fathers knew all to well that the old adage of: "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely was very true and was true to the severe detriment of the population.

One reality that has developed over the last several decades that circumvented our fore-fathers intent of limited government through the application of three branches of government was the merger of all three to be effectively networked as one.

This was done not by openly dissolving two but by takeover through common operating personnel of a selective "Clan" of controlling members now networked together to make the three houses one. That Clan is Attorneys / Lawyers. Seventy-percent on average of the elected officials (governors; Congress; Senate; Mayors; County Commissions) are now attorneys who effectively belong to the same club, having the same standardized mode of operation.

Most attorneys are not know for their benevolence and in the alternative stridently pursue liberating opponents of wealth to be utilized at "their" disposal. By nature this Clan sees the population as the opponent to be liberated of their wealth; controlled; and destroyed through the use of imposed edicts in the event they object.

Under this environment the population is at grave risk and will remain in grave risk as long as the prevalence of this circumstance prevails. That old expression of: "Well, you voted for the guy so you deserve what you get." is true on the surface but keep in mind this Clan intentionally does not promote the fact that they are attorneys.

In my guess ninety-percent of the people that vote do not even realize the person they are voting for is an attorney to their own disadvantage. The other ten-percent just don't even comprehend what the final effect is of establishing this type of Clan into power. A little collective consciousness on the part of the population in this regard is direly needed for corrective application.

The aspect of wealth maintained by government, our fore-fathers knew that if collective government had the ability to acquire all of the wealth of the country and its productivity value that they would do so if unrestrained. The checks and balances used here were along the lines of preventing monopolies from forming within the thousands of local governments that allowed them to act as one to become collective take-over giants by coordinated investing, targeting industry; finance; and service private corporations.

Local governments from the get-go had strict and standardized guidelines as to the scope and size of what they could acquire. Investment funds held by local governments were limited to not have more than 5% ownership by investment in any one company. They were required to invest 95% of their capital in the USA and restricted to 5% outside of the USA. Cash accounts were required to be diversified between several different locations. The ability to forcibly take land and possessions from the population were limited from the inception guidelines of the fore-fathers to be virtually nil except in the time of "domestic" invasion by war.

But, as has always been the case: When you have great wealth the potential for great theft is ever all so present.

In my short life of fifty-six years, what I have seen utilized prevalently to facilitate the massive theft that now permeates all of our lives boils down to three primary factors:

1. The population is kept masterfully entertained with good; bad; and dire consequential entertainment, cleverly orchestrated to keep the common population's thinking and mindset off in La-La land of distraction so that the reality of massive and also not so massive thefts play out unabated to conclusion for the converting of the wealth being stolen.

The syndicated media and controlled education were targeted rather effectively to that end and cooperate ruthlessly quite simply due to the money involved and how much of that money is easily made available to them.

Over the last decade I have had thousands of people make comment per the syndicated media of: "Why don't they do their jobs and report on this?" My reply is now always the same: "They do an excellent job, they do EXACTLY what they are paid to do."

If that news anchor steps out of line and makes simple mention of something that triggers a cognitive though in the viewers that is contrary to the controllers agenda, they are simply replaced with a young suck-up that will follow instructions. Ever wonder why the roll-over is so quick in news anchors now a day when in the past the anchors lasted for decades?

2. For local governments that have collective wealth, investment assets, and enterprise operations valued in the trillions of dollars held, the way they by-passed the monopoly limits per take-over of it all both domestic and internationally from the private sector for ultimate control and profit was by covertly creating "private" associations that were NGOs (Non Government Organizations) who by nature and intent kept very low profiles.

In doing so this gave the ability to network thousands of local governments acting now as one through the NGO associations to in effect circumvent the "individual" restrictions in place for those local governments. Keep in mind that both the "Democratic" and "Republican" parties are both NGO "Private Associations" created from the get-go to get their players in to have access and control over the massive til of wealth held under government trust. In conjuncture with human nature; greed; and opportunity, what was said or implied to the population by that local party or party representative had strictly the value of being: Giving them the ability to get their foot in and through the door. The intent on the other hand was to control the til and thus determine the policies set for its looting and use. The population has always been the second thought consideration.

3. I have noticed one prevalent tactic used of: Give the exact opposite impression of reality to accomplish the objective of looting and maintaining the wealth transfer. The easiest way to steal money from someone is if the mark never knew they had the money in the first place. Within the most corrupt local governments in current times crying poverty; need to reduce services (more for them); and then at the same time increase expenditures.

From 2008 to 2011 most crying poverty increased expenditures by 30% to say and justify they were short of funds and need to raise taxes. What is humorous when they cry shortfall and poverty is the FACT again: That they have more amassed wealth and annual income than Midas ever dreamed about. Kinda like Bill gates starting off with a million and increasing it to a hundred-billion over twenty-years, then taking a ten-billion dollar setback one year to ninety-billion, and crying poverty with the need to declare bankruptcy.

The biggest misrepresentation the general population falls prey to is the representations to the population that the government needs to give away money (trillions of dollars) to help the population. On the surface this may be true being that those trillions being spent by those who get it will help the majority of the population and help keep the economy rolling along from that money being spent.

BUT, the true underling intent is: Government collectively over the decades bought up most of the key energy; financial; and service "private sector" operations by investment. By releasing trillions of dollars from the til and tagging taxpayers to pay the bill over the next few decades, those trillions spent go directly into the profit margins of the "private sector" industrial; financial; and service corporations that government now collectively owns by investment with government now being the primary beneficiary as the principle stock holder and equity investor.

Government thus guarantees themselves being the "First Line Beneficiary" from the massive wealth transfer in end result. This keeps their bottom line, from their collective global investments being the largest owner collectively in the black... Get it? I hope so.. The Healthcare Bill; NAFTA; GATT; ect., were and are all designed to accomplish this specific end.

I am not going to go into here how they make trillions through the use of "short" derivatives by collapsing world markets, or make trillions as all think a collapse is imminent and the markets roll back up, but they do so, and do so very efficiently and well. Always keep in mind your entertainment good and bad with the soundbite conditioning you are spoon fed is designed for wealth transfer.. Your wealth into someone else's pocket.

I brought forward the application of the TRF that is designed to make the population the "First Line Beneficiary" through the phasing out of all taxation (property; personal; corporate; and sales) as the investment wealth growing in the TRF accounts drives the economy; government; financial cartels; and all within the population in a very prosperous fashion for the next thousand years, and I must say after a ten-year effort and tens of millions being reached with the idea, it is finally catching on.

I am expecting the first two counties to come online with the TRF in 2012. Thousands of other venues will follow in the short run by example. From start to finish in transitioning 80% of local government structures into the TRF mode of operation structure, I would expect the transition to take five to seven years to accomplish that end. Federal is a whole other story and will be a harder nut to crack per modifying their method of operation to meet general purpose operating funds. when the time comes, we will see what can be done there also.

3. The population being "trained" not to look and thus not comprehend. A complete vacuum and void was created in the populations cognitive thinking as to the "basics" of government wealth being amassed. Basics that each and every one of us know per ourselves in our own personal lives. Known by us from when we are little kids up until we die: How much cash we have; how much we bring in each year; our wealth improvement from year to year; the value of our investments; and our net worth.

The before mentioned as would apply for any local government, the population has been masterfully entertained or distracted to not have a cognitive thought about. A total vacuum and void was created for no discussion or even simple mention as would apply to your local government DUE TO THE MONEY INVOLVED! You were not intended to look at or grasp the basics. What the population was selectively confronted with was: "We are short of funds, we need to take more, higher and new taxation is needed.. Again, I say: The easiest way to steal money from someone is if the mark never knew they had the money in the first place.

---

Per those "Private" associations the following are a few examples that are utilized to influence and network just State Governors by consult into the collective common direction for profit and control of the masses under one standardized blue-print of corporate governance:


National Governors Association National Governors Association and NGA Center for Best Practices.

Democratic Governors Association The Democratic Governors' Association is an independent, voluntary political organization consisting of the Governors of the states and territories who are members of the Democratic Party.

Republican Governors Association Founded in 1963, the Republican Governors Association (RGA), is the official public policy and political organization of the Republican Governors of the United States.

Western Governors Association Serving the Governors of 21 States and US-Flag Pacific Islands.

Southern Governors Association Through the Southern Governors' Association (SGA), southern governors have a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, explore common issues, address pressing problems and promote regional accomplishments.

Midwestern Governors Conference Promoting interstate cooperation to strengthen the nation's heartland.

----

** Federal has their own grouping of Associations and Local Finance has their own also with acronym names such as GFOA (Government Financial Officers Association); GASB (Government Accounting Standards Board); FASB (Federal Accounting Standards Board).... Ever hear of them? They are rather large associations directing tens of thousands of local governments by consult, in effect creating the biggest all encompassing monopolies on Earth.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The following is a list of fifty of our country's State governors. My question to the CAFR1 National mailing list is:

How many of these State governors listed are attorneys? I doubt one in a thousand from the general population knows the answer to that question at first thought... In dire reality, 999 out of a thousand should know the answer to this question because in all reality and in all light their lives; future; and wealth maintained depend on knowing the answer, and then upon knowing, an effort must be made in controlling the outcome to that answer by their vote cast in the future.


By all means please reply back with the correct answer after you look and verify. We will see how many get the correct answer.

Due to the money involved the population was, is, and will continue to be masterfully entertained and spoon fed selective soundbite conditioning where in effect the majority from the population remain clueless as to the basics of the massive money; control; and wealth transfer involved here. The "Boys" in the alternative on the inside know very well the scope and size of the massive collective income; investments held; and the the control those investments held and income exert on the global economies and how they inherently determine the political structure derived therefrom.


The cooperative players greatly benefit, and those that object are systematically targeted for elimination. Thus for ease of operation and wealth transfer, great effort is applied by the controllers for never a mention made of the basics that would trigger a cognitive thought in the population's mind as to the "real" core basics driving the whole show.


I have provided the answer for final outcome to make the population the "First Line Beneficiary" with the application of the TRF where "all" clearly benefit, and all from government; financial; industrial; and service sectors prosper as they maintain their wealth and productivity through and by the elimination of all taxation.

The economies of the world currently are based on: Cash; Taxation; and Investment. What the TRF does is it bases the economies of the world on Cash and Investment 'only" for all time to come... and in true effect creates a prosperous and stable economy to boot..

Taxation is but a revenue source for government. The TRF replaces one revenue source (taxation) with two other revenue sources (investment and enterprise). The financial management teams are already in place to operate the TRF funds. The same teams that have been managing government's collective investment wealth now standing. The TRF is ready to happen all across the country from coast to coast. Can you feel the spirit of "true" corrective action moving ever so closer? On the brink of birth that will bring forward peace and prosperity for a thousand years to come?

For all of those religious zealots out there who profess: The "end of times are upon us." They seem to have conveniently forgotten one very important promise made. That being: "A thousand years of prosperity for one and all" (known as the millennium. In revelations the end of time is to come after the millennium has taken place. You see one and all, that promise has not yet happened. But no fear, I and others are working on it. It just might happen sooner than anyone expects..

It is about time to establish "Who Controls Whom". The gang of government and their private associations that have networked in secret to take it all over by investment and ever increasing secured income think they control the people and can benefit the people at their whims. I must say: Wrong!

It is the people who allow any institutional governing body to effect and influence their lives. Masterful entertainment as masterful grand theft took place may have worked all fine and dandy in the past for the last several hundred years or so, but no longer shall it be allowed to mask the cooperative Clan effort to facilitate the theft with the population being second line class citizens at best as they are continuously drained and managed.

We The People should, must, and will only accept being "First-Line-Beneficiaries" of the wealth we "allow" our government(s) to amass. For those from within government wanting to maintain business as usual and the population under the yoke as 2nd class citizens we are glad to say that our fore-fathers gave us the final say in the matter with the 2nd amendment to regain our rights as 1st class citizens if need be.

Things are not, nor shall they ever be as they should with the use of taxation as an ever increasing drain on the population and free market enterprise in this country,. It is time for a real change and a real change for the benefit of one and all.

Interesting Legal matters

A lawsuit ('11 CIV 8500 - Judge Holwell) was filed in New York on Wednesday 23rd November 2011 which could end the secret government that has ruled Western civilization for the last 300 years. The court papers can be accessed through PACER: Case 1:11-cv-08500-JFK Document 1 Filed 11/23/11. PACER is a US government restricted-access website. The acronym stands for Public Access to Court Electronic Records.

The lawsuit claims that a sum in excess of $1 trillion was stolen by, among others, Ray C. Dam, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the UN, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and the Italian government, Giancarlo Bruno and the Davos World Economic Forum syndicate and others believed to include many of the owners of the US Federal Reserve Board.

The summons was filed in New York by Neil Keenan, acting as representative of The Dragon Family, a reclusive group of wealthy Asian dynasties. The legal filing is the result of extensive evidence gathering by international police and law-enforcement agencies including Interpol, the CIA, the Japanese Security Police and several Eastern European secret services. The action has the backing of the Pentagon and the armed forces of Russia and China.

The ultimate defendants in this legal action are understood to be the cabal behind the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy, 911, and many other major international crimes and terrorist atrocities.

The lawsuit was triggered by the illegal detainment of two Japanese citizens, Akihiko Yamaguchi and Mitsuyoshi Watanabe, and the seizure of $134.5 billion in bonds they were holding in Chiasso, Italy, on Wednesday 3rd June 2009. After the bonds were stolen, self-described 33rd degree Freemason Leo Zagami contacted this writer (Benjamin Fulford, in Japan) and said that the Monte Carlo P2 masonic lodge could cash the bonds with the help of Vatican banker Daniel Dal Bosco. This writer forwarded the information, via a member of the UK Royal family, to The Dragon Family who entrusted a further $1 trillion worth of similar bonds to the plaintiff Neil Keenan. Keenan then, after much negotiation, entrusted the bonds to Dal Bosco.

Dal Bosco subsequently absconded with the bonds and was followed 24-hours-a-day by various intelligence service agents to see what he would do with them. The Dal Bosco trail led to the Davos World forum, the UN, the Italian government and the Vatican, among other places. Following this, Keenan was approached by a Who’s Who of powerful figures including top Vatican officials, Wall Street bankers, European nobles and former US presidents, most offering him astronomical bribes to go away. He was also poisoned with ricin and nearly killed.

According to Keenan: “The roots of this case go back to between 1927 and 1938, when, under arrangements made between T.V. Soong (Finance Minister of China) and Henry Morgethau, Secretary of the Treasury, The United States Government purchased some 50 million ounces of silver and leased vast amounts of gold from the Nationalist Chinese Government, known as Kuomintang. For all the treasure handed in, certificates were given to those who surrendered their precious metals.”

Many of the bonds seized by Dal Bosco are backed with the Chinese gold taken by the Federal Reserve Board during those years and never returned to its legal owners.

Other bonds seized were Kennedy bonds. These bonds were backed by gold held in trust for the people of the planet and were supposed to be used to finance the economic development of the world. Instead they have mostly been stolen and misused by members of the cabal that has seized control of the Western financial system on behalf of private interests.

The original signatory to the Kennedy bonds was former Indonesian President, Achmad Soekarno (1901-1970). Soekarno’s heir, Dr. Seno Edy Soekanto, has given Neil Keenan power of attorney to return to their rightful owners the Kennedy bonds and other property allocated to the people of the world via something known as The Global Collateral Accounts.

The lawsuit is only the first salvo in a legal battle to restore control of the global financial system to the people and governments of the world as well as the rightful owners of historical assets that have been seized by members of the banking cartel.

The lawsuit (full text here) was filed as 2011 Civil Action 8500 at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Judge Holwell) on November 23, 2011.

Background information on the problems with the global financial system summarised by Neil Keenan and Keith Scott:

The United States is a private corporation owned by the British Crown (Rothschilds), the Bank of England (Rothschilds) and the Vatican (Rothschilds again). It was previously called the Virginia Company until 3/9/33 when it was dissolved by Roosevelt under the Emergency Banking Act. On 5/5/33 Congress elected to dissolve the Gold Standard and Sovereign Authority of the U.S. and all of its official capacities including government offices, departments and officers. The U.S. is a corporation, not a nation. The Federal Reserve is neither Federal, nor a Reserve. It is a private counterfeiting organization run by Jewish bankers who lend the money they print out of thin air at interest while we keep on paying these criminals to fleece the People.

That technology of theft and deception that has been exported from the United States through their promotion of this fraud as the paradigm of global finance is an obscenity that has set the seeds of its own destruction.

This has been compounded by the refusal of ordinary people to realize, know and understand that it is the duplicity of Governments and the deceit and endless greed of bankers that combined to simply fleece them like the apathetic sheep they are. Apathy and ignorance of the truth, creates belief in the lie. The truth is self-evident, but most people choose to neither hear it nor understand it. The debts of the Federal Reserve are the debts of a private corporation that is robbing the people of the United States.

The United States Dollar is a Federal Reserve Note and the obligations against the currency are the obligations of the Federal Reserve, not the people of the United States.

Background history:
1. Between 1927 and 1938, under arrangements made between T.V.Soong (Finance Minister of China) and Henry Morgethau, Secretary of the Treasury, The United States Government purchased some 50 million ounces of silver and leased vast amounts of gold from the Nationalist Chinese Government, known as Kuomintang. During this period China was partly occupied by Japanese troops and there was the fear of China being overrun by the Japanese.

2. For all the treasure handed in, certificates were given to those who surrendered their precious metals. The surrendered precious metals and gemstones were sent to the United States under a lease agreement made between T.V. Soong and Henry Morgenthau. The Certificates became the underlying funds of the Kuomintang and were good and accepted securities.

3. In 1934 a new Securities Act was promulgated in the United States, together with the Gold Act, which required all bullion gold and gold coin to be surrendered to the Federal Reserve, a private corporation chartered to operate as the Central Bank of the United States and to be the issuer of the currency known as the United States Dollar.

4. Domestically owned gold was purchased. Foreign Gold held by the Treasury was also surrendered to the Federal Reserve, so, was leased to the Federal Reserve. This began the series 1934 Notes issued by the Federal Reserve. These have never been redeemed and the interest cost was met by further issuances of the 1934 series FRN’s.

5. These 1934 FRN’s guarantee the lease payments and to allow the Chinese Government to continue financially. These came under the control of the Kuomintang, the Nationalist Government in China from whom the Gold had been received. Many were left in China when the Kuomintang had to flee to Taiwan. The Gold had been nationalized by the Kuomintang who moved much of the FRN’s (but not all) to Taiwan which was built on these notes. These Notes were the underlying wealth of Taiwan and they were good for value as they were backed by gold.

6. During the war in China, most owners of the depository notes issued by Chinese Banks were killed by the Japanese, others later being killed by both the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communists, thus the Gold became property of the Nation, especially so, the Kuomintang. In Europe, Jews who had owned wealth were stripped of that wealth through various means and were then eliminated. The gold was taken either by stealth or by force, that is a reality of history.

7. The Kuomintang appointed guardians of this Gold and the securities issued by the United States; they are euphemistically known as the Dragon Family. The Dragon Family is in fact an organization that operates between old families within China and Taiwan, and as such is above the political divide of the two independent Chinese Governments. Chinese are remarkable in this regard, that old family ties and functions supercede political arrangements which, though they might last for generations, are regarded as inconsequential over the passage of time to most Chinese. Attached to this is the wealth of several nations. The United States in support of the Kuomintang and resistance groups actually printed more of these FRN notes inside China itself. These operations were run by the CIA to buy loyalty of various factions in the fight against the communists, eventually being driven out into Burma around 1960. Largely due to the additional printing of these notes, the additional Notes were given in lieu of interest, but directed to specific persons and parties.

8 At the end of the World War II, with Communist and Kuomintang factions at war in China, the International Community and the Chinese assented to the Gold being placed under the overt control of Indonesian President Soekarno. Soekarno then, on August 17, 1945, came to be known as M1 under United Nations Approval No. MISA 81704 “Operation Heavy Freedom. This was because much of the world’s gold had been delivered into Indonesia and the Philippines. Canada, Australia, Great Britain, India and other British Colonies sent their gold to the so called “impregnable Singapore” The Japanese, as per the arrangements agreed to by Hirohito in the 1921 Pact Between Nations made in London, delivered much of this gold to Indonesia (Then a Dutch Colony) and to Philippines (Then a US Colony) into secret bunkers that had been mostly constructed by the Japanese between 1924 and 1945. This is why the Allied troops in Malaya had no air cover or sufficient supplies to that would have allowed them to resist the Japanese. Singapore had to fall so most of the global wealth could be “lost” into a secret system that made the gold standard redundant and fiat currencies a reality.

This gold was documented into accounts through the Swiss Commercial Bank Union Bank of Switzerland, placed under protection of the Swiss Attorney General, registered through the Swiss National Bank into the Bank for International Settlements International Collateral Combined accounts and then from within the BIS, blocked to form the Institutional Parent Registration Accounts of the Federal Reserve System.

Later President Marcos of the Philippines was appointed and held the position of M1 until 1987 and then the position was transferred to Dr. Ray C. Dam, in October of 1987, under Legal Decadency to Heir RCD1087 Far East Entire with formal Power of Attorney and Assignment of Indonesian Assets signed by Sarinah Soetiwi (holder of the assets on behalf of the Nation of Indonesia as assigned by President Soekarno) in 1992, Dam’s authority later promulgated January 20, 1995. Dam proved to be impossible for the entire system to work with, (either because he refused to allow those who placed him in authority to steal, or because of his personal arrogance…. Difficult to know which is correct) and his authority over the Institutional parent registration Accounts set aside and the system reverted to the three Nations who had controlled these accounts since World war II, United States, Great Britain and France, who systematically and illegally subverted the established system since 1996.

9. From this we can see that there are two functional operations. One was ownership and Depository control by the owners of the Gold and the other a control system set in place to administer and control the Collateral Combined Accounts as an independent Arbiter. Ownership rights are held by the signatory to the Depository Accounts in Commercial Banks and Control Rights have been held by M1.

10. So it was, that the entire world supply of bullion and coinage gold was withdrawn and fiat currencies became the order of the day. However, underneath the notes and money issued by the Federal Reserve was the underlying wealth within a centralized system that Nations was intended to be used equitably, but Bankers determined they would use to raid national economies.

11. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy entered into an Agreement with President Soekarno to provide the funds to allow the United States Treasury to print its own currency, thus subverting the “right” to print the currency held by the Federal Reserve. The Agreement would have transferred some 59,000 tons of gold to underpin this currency. The problem with this was that the US domestic currency would have then been backed by gold which would have been a violation of international agreements meant to stabilize currencies. 11 days after signing this agreement, President Kennedy was assassinated. President Johnson the suspended EO11110 as issued by Kennedy and transferred the bullion to the Federal Reserve. The Green Hilton Agreement was not implemented until 1968 when Soekarno fell from office and when Global Trade made it imperative that the world have a Global Currency. As the Gold had been transferred to the US Treasury in 1968, a series of Bonds known as Kennedy Bonds were issued in order to honor the terms of the Green Hilton Agreement made between Kennedy and Soekarno, the 1968 terms of the gold delivery to the United States being different than made in 1934. When after 30 years, interest had not been paid as promised, a reissue of the bonds in an increased number were issued as commemorative notes and were accepted by the owners of the Gold, the Dragon Family.

12. From copies of Bank documents received by Neil Keenan, within the Green Hilton Memorial Agreement, the funds the amounts of gold and platinum are specified. These amounts of gold are certificated and the certificates and ledger copies with full and exact identification and recognition codes are available. These certificates are further proven by the bank reports, copies of which are now held by Neil Keenan. The truth of these instruments can be vigorously defended through documentation in our hands and further through interrogation of the Black Screens where the off ledger collateral is held, together with an interrogation of the grey and blue screens where we will find enormous fraud from the illegal use of these assets.

13. In the few documents we present with this complaint we can see that the assets have been deposited, the counter-assets created and presented to the depositors, the depositors have been cheated for over 70 years through the intentional and fraudulent failure of the Obligor to honor the Agreements.

14. In recent weeks we have come into possession of the books and records of the late President Soekarno, and all the codes and ledgers of the Global Accounts. The size of these accounts can be seen by reviewing the Collective Agreement between the Garuda Memorial Hilton Indonesia and the Green Memorial Hilton Geneva, established, structured and made operational between 1961 and final signature in 1972. Under this Agreement the assets of the international collateral combined were established and brought forward, then, within a short period of time misused to change the operating systems of banks.

15. Reviewing these books, we can now see that Banks set aside the notion of operating under the Charters they hold as banks, instead of being Banks they became like very poor casino operators and traders, selling what they do not own. The records in our possession, signed and registered by the receiving and managing commercial bank, show the underlying funds in numbers and amounts that stagger the imagination. The Green Hilton and Garuda Memorial Agreements demonstrate clearly the value of the global account system.
a) Gold and Platinum Deposits ran into millions of tons.
b) 1934 series Federal Reserve System Bonds, Notes issued in 1928 , Kennedy Bonds ran into Quadrillions of US Dollars, Dragon Bonds are all recorded and acknowledged within the Green Hilton and Memorial Hilton Collective Agreements. Both Assets in the form of Bullion surrendered to the Global Accounts through the United States Government and then entrusted to a private corporation, the Federal Reserve System.

A Gold Nugget of Truth

Gadhafi’s Gold-money Plan Would Have Devastated Dollar
Written by Alex Newman
Friday, 11 November 2011 10:15

It remains unclear exactly why or how the Gadhafi regime went from “a model” and an “important ally” to the next target for regime change in a period of just a few years. But after claims of “genocide” as the justification for NATO intervention were disputed by experts, several other theories have been floated.

Oil, of course, has been mentioned frequently — Libya is Africa‘s largest oil producer. But one possible reason in particular for Gadhafi’s fall from grace has gained significant traction among analysts and segments of the non-Western media: central banking and the global monetary system.

According to more than a few observers, Gadhafi’s plan to quit selling Libyan oil in U.S. dollars — demanding payment instead in gold-backed “dinars” (a single African currency made from gold) — was the real cause. The regime, sitting on massive amounts of gold, estimated at close to 150 tons, was also pushing other African and Middle Eastern governments to follow suit.

And it literally had the potential to bring down the dollar and the world monetary system by extension, according to analysts. French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly went so far as to call Libya a “threat” to the financial security of the world. The “Insiders” were apparently panicking over Gadhafi’s plan.

"Any move such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the power elite today, who are responsible for controlling the world's central banks,” noted financial analyst Anthony Wile, editor of the free market-oriented Daily Bell, in an interview with RT. “So yes, that would certainly be something that would cause his immediate dismissal and the need for other reasons to be brought forward [for] removing him from power."

According to Wile, Gadhafi’s plan would have strengthened the whole continent of Africa in the eyes of economists backing sound money — not to mention investors. But it would have been especially devastating for the U.S. economy, the American dollar, and particularly the elite in charge of the system.

“The central banking Ponzi scheme requires an ever-increasing base of demand and the immediate silencing of those who would threaten its existence,” Wile noted in a piece entitled “Gaddafi Planned Gold Dinar, Now Under Attack” earlier this year. “Perhaps that is what the hurry [was] in removing Gaddafi in particular and those who might have been sympathetic to his monetary idea.”

Investor newsletters and commentaries have been buzzing for months with speculation about the link between Gadhafi’s gold dinar and the NATO-backed overthrow of the Libyan regime. Conservative analysts pounced on the potential relationship, too.

“In 2009 — in his capacity as head of the African Union — Libya's Moammar Gadhafi had proposed that the economically crippled continent adopt the ‘Gold Dinar,’” noted Ilana Mercer in an August opinion piece for WorldNetDaily. “I do not know if Col. Gadhafi continued to agitate for ditching the dollar and adopting the Gold Dinar — or if the Agitator from Chicago got wind of Gadhafi's (uncharacteristic) sanity about things monetary.”

But if Arab and African nations had begun adopting a gold-backed currency, it would have had major repercussions for debt-laden Western governments that would be far more significant than the purported “democratic” uprisings sweeping the region this year. And it would have spelled big trouble for the elite who benefit from “freshly counterfeited funny-money,” Mercer pointed out.

“Had Gadhafi sparked a gold-driven monetary revolution, he would have done well for his own people, and for the world at large,” she concluded. “A Gadhafi-driven gold revolution would have, however, imperiled the positions of central bankers and their political and media power-brokers.”

Adding credence to the theory about why Gadhafi had to be overthrown, as The New American reported in March, was the rebels’ odd decision to create a central bank to replace Gadhafi’s state-owned monetary authority. The decision was broadcast to the world in the early weeks of the conflict.

In a statement describing a March 19 meeting, the rebel council announced, among other things, the creation of a new oil company. And more importantly: “Designation of the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya and appointment of a Governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi.”

The creation of a new central bank, even more so than the new national oil regime, left analysts scratching their heads. “I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising,” noted Robert Wenzel in an analysis for the Economic Policy Journal. “This suggests we have a bit more than a rag tag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences,” he added. Wenzel also noted that the uprising looked like a “major oil and money play, with the true disaffected rebels being used as puppets and cover” while the transfer of control over money and oil supplies takes place.

Other analysts, even in the mainstream press, were equally shocked. “Is this the first time a revolutionary group has created a central bank while it is still in the midst of fighting the entrenched political power?” wondered CNBC senior editor John Carney. “It certainly seems to indicate how extraordinarily powerful central bankers have become in our era.”

Similar scenarios involving the global monetary system — based on the U.S. dollar as a global reserve currency, backed by the fact that oil is traded in American money — have also been associated with other targets of the U.S. government. Some analysts even say a pattern is developing.

Iran, for example, is one of the few nations left in the world with a state-owned central bank. And Iraqi despot Saddam Hussein, once armed by the U.S. government to make war on Iran, was threatening to start selling oil in currencies other than the dollar just prior to the Bush administration’s “regime change” mission.

While most of the establishment press in America has been silent on the issue of Gadhafi’s gold dinar scheme, in Russia, China, and the global alternative media, the theory has exploded in popularity. Whether salvaging central banking and the corrupt global monetary system were truly among the reasons for Gadhafi’s overthrow, however, may never be known for certain — at least not publicly.
