Operation Wake Up America!

According to the main stream media and the Obama Administration the summer of 2010 was the summer of recovery. A funny thing happened to the recovery on its way to your town. It never happened and it never will until the excessive debt is flushed out of the system and America actually starts to produce and make things again.

I want to warn you, though, that I’m not a writer, reporter, economist or politician. I’m just a small business man. I think I’m smart and intelligent, but by the elite standard, I’m uneducated. So if you are going to judge this article by my spelling, grammar and sentence structure you might as well hit the delete key now.

What I want to do is open your eyes to the cold hard facts of life in America today. Our Federal and State Governments have kicked the entitlement can down the road for so long that we now have about 133 trillion dollars in debt and unfunded liabilities. Simply put we will never be able to fund the liabilities or repay the debt. It’s just mathematically impossible given the current status quo.

By now your asking; What is hidden in plain sight? Well it’s the soup lines and the wondering masses of people looking for work. You see the soup lines are now mixed right in with you at the grocery store with government debit cards, food stamps and other programs like WIC. We are approaching 42 million people just on food stamps - all hidden among us. That’s a whooping 14% of the US population just on food stamps.

US labor migration is also hidden in plain sight at your local unemployment office. No wandering masses of men looking for work. In fact now they don’t even want to see you at the unemployment office and have you file online. Again hiding the long lines and further isolating the unemployed person.

According to a report by the AP, US Census data for 2009 shows approximately 45 million Americans were living below the poverty line. We also saw the largest single year increase in the poverty rate since 1959 and are now the third worst among developed nations. The US Department of Agriculture reports, on a year-over-year basis, household participation in food stamps has increased 20.28%. The food stamp program has set new all time highs for 19 consecutive months.

As of June one out of every six Americans is now being served by at least one government anti-poverty program and Medicaid now serves more then 50 million Americans.

On the financial side of the house, one out of every seven mortgages in the US was either delinquent or in foreclosure during the first quarter 2010. Nationwide, bankruptcy filings rose 20% in the 12 month period ending June 30 th 2010 and 25% of all Americans now have a credit score below 599. Meanwhile America now has fewer manufacturing jobs than we had in 1950 and customer service call centers are being sent overseas at an alarming rate.

Simply put, the cost of every government anti-poverty is absolutely soaring. Meanwhile the US government is already running a budget deficit that is approaching 1.5 trillion every year. The US economy is dying and without a major change in course we will be ship wreaked on the iceberg called collapse.

Much like Rome our elected officials have spent us into oblivion and are now wholesale printing money. The Roman Empire, in my opinion, collapsed due to large government, debt, over taxation and inflation due to the stamping of coins. Do you see any similarities?

The economy is falling apart, and somebody better wake up and do something before even more Americans find themselves drowning in poverty.

The following are 20 signs that the economic collapse has already begun for one out of every seven Americans…..

#1 The Census Bureau says that 43.6 million Americans are now living in poverty and according to them that is the highest number of poor Americans in 51 years of record-keeping.

#2 In the year 2000, 11.3 percent of Americans were living in poverty.  In 2008, 13.2 percent of Americans were living in poverty.  In 2009, 14.3 percent of Americans were living in poverty.  Needless to say the trend is moving in the wrong direction. 

#3 In 2009 alone, approximately 4 million more Americans joined the ranks of the poor.

#4 According to the Associated Press, experts believe that 2009 saw the largest single year increase in the U.S. poverty rate since the U.S. government began calculating poverty figures back in 1959.

#5 The U.S. poverty rate is now the third worst among the developed nations tracked by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

#6 Today the United States has approximately 4 million fewer wage earners than it did in 2007.

#7 Nearly 10 million Americans now receive unemployment insurance, which is almost four times as many as were receiving it in 2007.

#8 U.S. banks repossessed 25 percent more homes in August 2010 than they did in August 2009.

#9 One out of every seven mortgages in the United States was either delinquent or in foreclosure during the first quarter of 2010.

#10 There are now 50.7 million Americans who do not have health insurance.  One trip to the emergency room would be all it would take to bankrupt a significant percentage of them.

#11 More than 50 million Americans are now on Medicaid, the U.S. government health care program designed principally to help the poor.

#12 There are now over 41 million Americans on food stamps.

#13 The number of Americans enrolled in the food stamp program increased a whopping 55 percent from December 2007 to June 2010.

#14 One out of every six Americans is now being served by at least one government anti-poverty program.

#15 California’s poverty rate soared to 15.3 percent in 2009, which was the highest in 11 years.

#16 According to an analysis by Isabel Sawhill and Emily Monea of the Brookings Institution, 10 million more Americans (including 6 million more children) will slip into poverty over the next decade.

#17 According to a recently released Federal Reserve report, Americans experienced a $1.5 trillion loss in combined household net worth in the second quarter of 2010.

#18 Manufacturing employment in the U.S. computer industry is actually lower in 2010 than it was in 1975.

#19 Median U.S. household income is down 5 percent from its peak of more than $52,000 in 1999.

#20 A study recently released by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College University found that Americans are $6.6 trillion short of what they need for retirement.

How anyone can look at those numbers and think that things are about to “get better” absolutely boggles the mind.

It is time to wake up.

Things are not going to get better.

Things are only going to get worse.

The United States is rapidly becoming a nation where poverty is absolutely rampant.

As poverty continues to spread, crime will not be far behind.

Neithercorp Press – 09/16/2010

It’s inevitable. Every person who endeavors to understand the nature of economy, central banking, fiat currency, Globalism, and elitism in our culture, every man who is truly honest with himself, comes to the same logical conclusion; the system we toil in, the system we tolerate out of habit day to day, is not only failing, it is designed to fail. Knowing this fact is difficult. The potential consequences of the situation tend to bleed into every moment of our once conventional routine. We realize that there is no going back to the old apathetic ways of viewing our world; once awake we cannot again sleep, and because we have the truth in hand, truth which affects every living human being, we are also by default made responsible for the future. We are no longer spectators caught in the swift tides of history, but participants in history’s making. We become the levy builders and breakers. We contribute to the flow of events, as well as their outcome.

This insight then begs a change in our way of life, and leads to a single arduous question:

Now that we know there is a problem, what are we going to do about it?

While knowing the truth is a tremendous step for any person, it brings little comfort without a sense of direction. People need a defined course of action, a methodology, a way of contributing to the solution. The problem is that too many people sit and wait for the solution to present itself, or wait for others to take the lead, instead of going out and finding their own answers. I have often received responses to my past articles that sound like this:

“Ok, so we know the economy is on the verge of collapse and that the government is corrupt. When are YOU going to tell us what we can do about it? What are YOU going to do about it? When are WE going to rally together and force the elites out of power?”

These are the wrong questions. What they should be asking THEMSELVES is;

“What am I going to do about it? When am I going to decide to take actions that further the betterment of our future? When am I going to stop waiting for others to tell me what to do?”

People want times, dates, clubs, protests, official representation, political parties, slogans, sign-up sheets and bake sales, and most of all, they want a plan, a prefabricated plan clearly delineating the future of the movement. In the Liberty Movement, however, there is no such thing as a strategy set in stone, nor should there be. The primary reason being, the Liberty Movement thrives on individual action, not collectivist action.

We would all love to have the remedy to our many ills packaged and bottled and sold to us like so much aspirin. This is not going to happen and I hope people stop holding their breath. In our situation, the only solutions that come easy are those that benefit the establishment, and not us. In fact, globalist peddlers today are lining up in droves to offer you their “leadership”, and an easy way out. Some people buy in, simply because they’ve never been forced to think for themselves, and they can’t fathom starting now, especially when it comes to something as seemingly complex and overarching as economics.

I have no easy solutions to offer here. I have no magic tricks or cure-alls. All I have is the ability to clearly present the hard choices available to us. All I have is a manner of thinking that could stop globalism in its tracks, but the way this philosophy is enacted is up to each and every American individual, and not up to me. Effective real world solutions start with a powerful root principle. This is mine:

Provide for yourself and for others those human necessities the oppressive system cannot or will not. Through this, you make the system obsolete. Eventually, the system will either have to come after you, or be forced to conform to you. In either case, you benefit.

Now, let’s examine how this principle works (especially in terms of economics), how it can be implemented, as well as those strategies that do more harm than good…

For far too long, America has been plagued in a folly of voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’ when it comes down to presidential elections. We could have an outstanding candidate that makes ton of sense and would be stellar for this country, a breathe of fresh air and a real (unlike Obama) change to the way things are run in Washington DC the problem is if he doesn’t call himself a Democrat or a Republican, he has virtually 0 chance of winning an oval office in a country that was once considered a super power of the world but is quickly deteriorating. Here at Reality Slap News, we realize how stupid it is to base a vote on the party. If Adolf Hitler were alive and running for office today and he called himself a ‘Republican’ or ‘Democrat’ instead of a Nazi I’m thoroughly convinced that (sadly) the people of the United States of America would elect him President. It’s time for a REAL change before it gets to the point of another holocaust.

Our biggest problem as a country is that everyone fails to realize that Democrats and Republicans are two sides to the same coin, there is no difference between them and they are both equally to blame for the mess that America finds itself in right now. To underscore this point, let’s look at the current President Barack Obama that is a Democrat and let’s also look at his prescedor that had 2 terms of office as a Republican George W. Bush and see how different these two individuals really are, as you can remember quite clearly the reason we all elected Obama was for the ‘change’ in leadership that he would bring to Washington.

President George W. Bush was one of the most heavily criticized and unpopular presidents not only of our time but in America’s entire history HOWEVER he wasn’t always such a bum and scolded as he was when he left office. If you remember back to the year 2000 most of America was happy with the new president that they had, they felt he was a breath of fresh air and a ‘change’ to our nations previous president Bill Clinton, they saw Bush as a charismatic leader someone new, lovable and someone that they could really trust to run our country. We needed a change from the sleezy scumbag Bill Clinton, he was sleeping with anything that had a pulse inside the oval office and this Bush was new, exciting and not at all like that scummy adultering Clinton.

George Bush ‘won’ the 2000 elections (won is in quotes because there are serious doubts as to who really won the state of Florida in the 2000 elections) as portraying himself as an agent of change to the way things were currently done in Washington. Back then though the ‘change’ Bush spoke of was more ethical, you know like not screwing everything that had a pulse inside the oval office. Sure Clinton was good for America, he did a lot of great things for this country and was considered one of the best presidents of all time because of what he achieved while he was in office, but he slept with women other than Hilary his beloved wife…that’s not the kind of leader you want running America, or so Bush proclaimed and here we are almost a decade later we can clearly see the faults in believing someone who promised ‘change’ and a different approach from the way things were run.

Lets be serious now, George Bush MAY have been the absolute worst president in our country’s history. Under his leadership, the attacks of September 11th 2001 happened under his watch and I’m sorry but those events are absolutely inexcusable. Our country had what, 4 maybe 5 successful highjackings for airlines in the past 50 years that actually caused a security scare but on one day we’re not only going to double that number but also kill thousands of people? Furthermore, Bush swore he would catch ‘those responsible’ for those horrific attacks our nation suffered, and marched our country into war with Afghanistan to find Osama bin Laden and bring to justice the thousands of lives lost.

On top of that, he launched another war in Iraq since apparently they were a threat to our security and possessed ‘weapons of mass destruction’ that could have been used to hurt America and her people. We marched into war and with the two of these wars going we have thousands of lives lost, trillions of dollars in debt, years piling up with no end in sight and still no Osama (the one ‘responsible’ for the 09/11 attacks) and no justice for the American people, we continue to fight lives continue to perish and our debt continues to mount.
