Agenda 21 Issue in Georgia Legislature

Agenda 21 may resurface at state legislature
Lawmaker sees need for debate

The 2013 Georgia General Assembly doesn’t convene until January, but lawmakers have begun meeting with ideas for the upcoming session.

Among them was a gathering last month, attended by at least one member of Forsyth County’s state legislative delegation, which raised some eyebrows.

Sen. Majority Leader Chip Rogers, a Republican from nearby Woodstock, called the meeting to talk about Agenda 21, a nonbinding United Nations plan reportedly geared toward helping developing nations deal with global, environmental problems and accelerate sustainable development.

Nearly 180 governments signed onto the Agenda 21 plan in 1992, but it’s been garnering attention at recent political debates.

Rogers last year proposed a resolution, co-sponsored by Republican District 51 state Sen. Steve Gooch of Dahlonega, which characterized Agenda 21 as destructive and insidious.

District 27 state Sen. Jack Murphy, a Republican from Cumming who attended part of Rogers’ recent meeting, said he would not be surprised to see similar legislation introduced this session.

“I think it’s going to be debated and I certainly think it has a chance of succeeding in the legislature,” Murphy said. “People are just getting tired of people telling them what to do with their property.”

Rogers’ resolution called the plan one of “extreme environmentalism, social engineering and global political control” and a “plan of radical so-called 'sustainable development' [that] views the American way of life of private property ownership, single-family homes, private car ownership and individual travel choices, and privately owned farms all as destructive to the environment.”

Murphy said he’s concerned about the impact on property rights in the United States.

Though Agenda 21 has been around for two decades, Murphy said it’s something that’s just gaining traction in terms of how much the general public, including himself, know about it.

According to its Web site, the UN describes the plan as one that encourages conservation and management of resources for development, international cooperation to help developing nations reach sustainable development and would be implemented by each country “according to the different situations, capacities and priorities of countries and regions.”

Murphy said he wants to know more, which was the purpose of the meeting last month.

“The UN is involved in this and they are trying to say that this is one-size-fits-all and they don’t,” Murphy said. “Different countries have different problems with their properties and different laws concerning properties. I just don’t think you can paint from that broad of a brush.”

As for Agenda 21’s place in the upcoming session, Murphy said: “I just think it needs to be debated … let’s let people ask questions and let’s hear from both sides of it.”

Comments:
UN Agenda 21 implementation is creating voter revolts across the U.S.  It’s clear to voters that Obama is bankrupting the U.S. with transportation squander-grants and regulatory grind-down of agriculture, power utilities and industry.  State laws authorized Agenda 21 implementation with soviet modeled “regionalism”.  Georgia and other states have passed these laws over the past 3 years in order to qualify for federal transportation squander-grants.  These grants require that unelected regional commissars to discourage automobiles, reduce lanes, force on-street bike lanes, walking paths and other unnecessary fluff at double the cost while voters complain.  Property rights violations, illogical zoning and international building codes and waivers for cronies are included.  These Georgia laws need to be repealed starting with HB 277 (TIA).

Boulder CO Fleeced by Smart Grid

'Smart City' Failures Dumped on Taxpayers by Brandon Turbeville AP, November 1, 2012

If there was ever any doubt as to whether or not the Smart Grid aspect of UN Agenda 21 is marching forward, recent developments in Boulder, Colorado should dispel such skepticism. Likewise, these developments should also make clear that so-called Smart technology is about much more than simply cost saving.

The relevant part of this story starts as far back as 2007 when Boulder entered into an agreement with Xcel Energy to enable the city to become the world's first "smart city."

For those who are unaware of what the terms "Smart Grid" and "Smart City" refer to, the Smart Grid is essentially a computerized system that allows the monitoring and control over energy use from power the plant source to every appliance in the home. Smart Grid technology is a major part of UN Agenda 21, the United Nations plans to herd a drastically reduced population into "human habitat areas," meaning ultra-modern super cities with stack em' and pack em' dwelling structures and zero contact with nature and the outside world.

Smart Grid technology includes the infamous "Smart Meter," which is not only a Big Brother spy device that monitors the amount of power consumed in the household (even down to the specific devices using that power), but it is also linked to a variety of adverse health effects as a result of the frequencies they emit.

Regardless of these issues, however, Boulder is expected to become the model city for the rest of the world within the coming years. Yet, if the Agenda 21 connections and the adverse health effects were not enough to draw serious concern from the average taxpayer, the sheer cost of the project should at least be cause for opposition.

Indeed, the recent report released by the Denver Post is only one more example of how the average person who is to live as a prisoner under the coming system is eagerly paying for and building his own bars.

It is also a textbook example of the privatization of services that should be provided by governments in that the price tag for this venture as tabulated by Xcel Energy, the private company controlling Boulder's power supply, has increased from $0 to $44.5 million with $27.9 million already being hoisted onto the backs of Colorado residents.

Initially, of course, the cost of the entire project was supposed to be much less than the current projections. Because Xcel was joining with several different firms and corporations who were supposed to share the burden, which was to cost a total of $100 million, the cost to Xcel was to be only $15.3 million as their consortium partners were expected to pick up the rest.

However, around May of 2008, a discussion was held during Xcel's internal corporate finance meeting where it appeared that the cost of the project to the company had doubled to about $31 million. Yet, when Xcel presented their way forward for the SmartGridCity program in Boulder to the Public Utilities Committee, the company failed to mention that its costs had risen. This is most likely because Xcel knew in advance that it had the most effective means of debt leverage known to man -- the American taxpayer -- to make up for any losses in the program. The Smart Grid, after all, must go forward at any cost.

During the summer of 2008, after a great deal of rushed work, crews completed installation of much of the system so that they were able to unveil the "first SmartGridCity home" in time for the second day of the Democratic National Convention. The home included "integrated software, solar panels and an electric-car charger" and gave tours to media organizations like ABC's Good Morning America.

As 2009 approached, some of Xcel's partners began to back away from the project, shifting more and more of the costs onto Xcel itself.

No need to worry though, because Xcel had the captive customer base of Boulder to fall back on. Which is exactly what they did.

As Scott Wilensky, an Xcel senior vice president, stated in PUC testimony, "Management concluded the costs of continuing forward with the project completion under the initial scope were less than the potential benefits that could be determined if there were a broader pilot." Thus, Xcel decided not to stop the project or even modify its goals, but to move ahead with the original plan.

In April of 2009, the board of Xcel set the budget of the project at $27.3 million. Note that the budget was still lower than the projected costs, which were known to be $31 million at the time.

Shortly thereafter, the two executives in charge of the SmartGridCity program left Xcel with Ray Gogel, the lead executive for the project becoming CEO at Current Group, and Mike Carlson taking a position with GridPoint Inc. Both Current Group and GridPoint are consortium partners.

Finally, it was time for Xcel to cash in on its unfortunate customer base.

In May, 2009, Xcel filed for a $132.5 million rate increase for Colorado that included $27 million allocated for SmartGridCity.

In yet another interesting development, shortly after the filing was made to increase energy rates, Xcel made the decision to shift $17 million in SmartGridCity-related software costs from Minneapolis (the other major city where Xcel operates) to the Colorado budget. The Minneapolis costs, however, were actually part of Xcel's normal IT budget so there was no justifiable reason for the Colorado customer to be expected to pay it.

The revised numbers submitted by Xcel, now totaling $45.8 million, were subsequently challenged by the Consumer Counsel's office, the organization which represents small businesses and residential customers, as well as industrial consumers such as Climax Molybdenum and Rocky Mountain Steel.

As Mark Jaffe of the Denver Post writes, Harry Di Domenico, a PUC analyst, testified that the project "was conducted outside of normal budgeting processes and was therefore never subject to normal budget reviews, policies and internal audit procedures."

The consumer counsel's office said that once the project hit $27 million, Xcel should have stopped. Any costs beyond that were imprudent.

Climax Molybdenum and Rocky Mountain Steel in filings argued that SmartGridCity was a research project, that it had not achieved its goals and that shareholders, not ratepayers, should pick up the bill.

Obviously, it is true that the ratepayers should not foot the bill for this disastrous experiment in an even more disastrous overarching agenda. However, the collusion between global schemes and local corruption knows no bounds.

After reviewing the request, the PUC actually granted Xcel $27.9 million in rate hikes for SmartGridCity in January 2011. It even went so far as to state that Xcel could receive the rest of the money once it demonstrated "value to customers and [that it] had a strategic plan for the project."

Frustrated with being raped for increasingly large amounts of money while still not receiving the product they paid for, the Boulder voters agreed to allow the City Council to explore whether or not they might be better served by replacing Xcel with a municipal utility. Ironically, in order to direct the City Council to take these steps, the voters had to approve yet another tax!

In terms of the privatization of services -- whether it is trash pickup, water, energy, or other necessary procurements for city life -- this is the typical procedure for hoisting virtually all of the costs on the taxpayer while private companies owned by major banks, etc. reap the profits.

For instance, the taxpayers are taxed to develop and maintain a power system which is subsequently privatized. Then, when a major update to that system is due, and after fleecing the taxpayer for millions of dollars, there now lies the opportunity to revert back to city service provision.

Thus, when even more vast amounts of money are expended to install the totalitarian Smart Grid, it is likely that yet another private company will slip in to reap the benefits shortly thereafter.

Nevertheless, the true issue is not necessarily the cost of the program. As I stated earlier, the entire concept of the Smart Grid represents a massive step toward the implementation of UN Agenda 21. Indeed, Smart Grid technology raises a myriad of concerns in its own right.

As Paul Joseph Watson writes: Indeed, privacy experts have warned that smart meters could be used to spy on consumers in a myriad of different ways, including "what appliances are being used in individual homes, and even what programs are being watched on TV."

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) warns that the rollout of smart meters will allow "massive collection of personal data" by utility companies and governments, tracking what "households do within the privacy of their own homes, whether they are away on holiday or at work, if someone uses a specific medical device or a baby monitor, or how they spend their free time".

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine and other health bodies have voiced concern about potential damaging effects of radio waves emitted by the smart meters and have urged a moratorium on installing the devices.

The group recently warned that people suffering from "neurological, neurodegenerative diseases, genetic defects, cancer, and other conditions," should avoid smart meters because they could be "adversely impacted by electromagnetic frequency (EMF) and radio frequency (RF) fields," emitted by the devices.

Instead of demanding that the Smart Grid technology be delivered in a cheaper manner, it is imperative that the Boulder voters demand that the technology is removed altogether. While demanding renewable sources of energy is important, it is also important that this real demand for greener power not be corralled and co-opted into a demand for increased surveillance, control, and ultimate dehumanization.

Comments:

We have “smart meters” in Georgia.  Look at your electric meter to see if it says “smart meter” on the right in small print.  It communicates with your household appliances to report back what you’re using and when.  It is a wireless system and its emissions have caused health problems. It is capable of turning down your thermostat.  Pregnant women have been warned not to leave their electrical devices plugged in at night where they are sleeping.

Voter Fraud – Court Ordered

A Letter to Congress

I received an email claiming that the Republican party is banned from objecting to election fraud and has been since 1991.  The email says:  The RNC also agreed that the RNC, its agents, servants, and employees would be bound by the Decree, “whether acting directly or indirectly through other party committees.”  As modified in 1987,  the Consent Decree defined  “ballot security activities”  to  mean  “ballot integrity, ballot security or other  efforts to prevent or remedy vote fraud.”  Since 1982, that Consent Decree has been renewed every year by the original judge, Carter appointee District Judge   Dickinson R. Debevoise , now 88 years old. Long retired,  Debevoise comes back  yearly for the sole purpose of renewing his 1982 order for another year.  Why hasn’t anything been done since 1991 ?  You traitors let the Communists take over the country !
Norb Leahy
Source: November 13, 2012, that during the weekly True the Vote webcast, Catherine 
Engelbrecht related a meeting she had with  Reince Priebus , the chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), asking what the GOP would do about voter integrity.  The answer?  Nothing.  They aren’t legally able to.
 
The Rest of the Story:
 
This all goes back to a lawsuit 31 years ago, in 1981. The following is compiled from 
an account on  The Judicial View , a legal website specializing in court decision research and alerts, and from “ Democratic National Committee v Republican National Committee ,” Case No. 09-4615.
 
In 1981, during the gubernatorial election in New Jersey (NJ), a lawsuit was brought 
against the RNC, the NJ Republican State Committee (RSC), and three individuals (John A. Kelly, Ronald Kaufman, and Alex Hurtado), accusing them of violating the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 1971, 1973, and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
 
The lawsuit was brought by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the NJ 
Democratic State Committee (DSC), and two individuals (Virginia L. Peggins and
Lynette Monroe).
 
The lawsuit alleged that: 
 
The RNC and RSC targeted minority voters in New Jersey in an effort to intimidate 
them.
 
The RNC created a voter challenge list by mailing sample ballots to individuals in 
precincts with a high percentage of racial or ethnic minority registered voters.
Then the RNC put the names of individuals whose postcards were returned as undeliverable on a list of voters to challenge at the polls.
 
The RNC enlisted the help of off-duty sheriffs and police officers with “National 
Ballot Security Task Force” armbands, to intimidate voters by standing at polling places in minority precincts during voting. Some of the officers allegedly wore firearms in a visible manner.
 
To settle the lawsuit, in 1982, the RNC and RSC entered into an agreement or  
Consent Decree , which is national in scope, limiting the RNC’s ability to engage or assist in voter fraud prevention unless the RNC obtains the court’s approval in advance.  The following is what the RNC and RSC, in the Consent Decree, agreed they would do:
 
[I]n the future, in all states and territories of the United States: 
 
(a) comply with all applicable state and federal laws protecting the rights of duly 
qualified citizens to vote for the candidate(s) of their choice;
 
(b) in the event that they produce or place any signs which are part of ballot security 
activities, cause said signs to disclose that they are authorized or sponsored by the party committees and any other committees participating with the party committees;
 
(c) refrain from giving any directions to or permitting their agents or employees to 
remove or deface any lawfully printed and placed campaign materials or signs;
 
(d) refrain from  giving any directions to or permitting their employees to campaign 
within restricted polling areas or to  interrogate prospective voters as to their
qualifications to vote prior to their entry to a polling place;
 
(e) refrain from undertaking any ballot security activities in polling places or election 
districts where the racial or ethnic composition of such districts is a factor  in the decision to conduct, or the actual conduct of, such activities there and where a purpose or significant effect of such activities is to deter qualified voters from voting; and the conduct of such activities disproportionately in or directed toward  districts that have a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic populations  shall be considered relevant evidence of the existence of such a factor and purpose;
 
(f) refrain from having private personnel deputized as law enforcement personnel in 
connection with ballot security activities.
 
The RNC also agreed that the RNC, its agents, servants, and employees would be 
bound by the Decree, “whether acting directly or indirectly through other party committees.”
 
As modified in 1987,  the Consent Decree defined  “ballot security activities”  to  mean  
“ballot integrity, ballot security or other  efforts to prevent or remedy vote fraud.”
 
Since 1982, that Consent Decree has been renewed every year by the original judge, 
Carter appointee District Judge   Dickinson R. Debevoise , now 88 years old. Long retired,  Debevoise comes back  yearly for the sole purpose of renewing his 1982 order for another year.
 
U.S. District Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise 
 
In 2010, the RNC unsuccessfully appealed “to vacate or modify” the Consent Decree  
in “Democratic National Committee v Republican National Committee,” Case No. 09-4615 (C.A. 3, Mar. 8, 2012). (I paid The Judicial Review $10 for the PDF of Case No. 09-4615 and uploaded the 59-page document to FOTM’s media library.
 
This is  a summary of the appeals judge’s ruling , filed on March 8, 2012: 
 
In 1982, the Republican National Committee (“RNC”) and the Democratic National 
Committee (“DNC”) entered into a consent decree (the “Decree” or “Consent Decree”), which is national in scope, limiting the RNC’s ability to engage or assist in voter fraud prevention unless the RNC obtains the court’s approval in advance. The RNC appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey denying, in part, the RNC’s Motion to Vacate or Modify the Consent Decree. Although  the District Court declined to vacate the Decree , it did make modifications to the Decree. The RNC argues that the District Court abused its discretion by modifying the Decree as it did and by declining to vacate the Decree. For the following reasons, we will affirm the District Court’s judgment.
 
Surprise! The judge who denied the RNC’s appeal to “vacate” the 1982 Consent Decree 
is  an Obama appointee , Judge  Joseph Greenaway, Jr. , of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
 
Judge Joseph Greenaway, Jr., U.S. Court of Appeals, 3rd Circuit 
 
Guy Benson of Townhall.com  points out that in last Tuesday’s election, Obama only 
won by 406,348 votes in 4 states:
 
Florida : 73,858 
Ohio : 103,481 
Virginia : 115,910 
Colorado : 113,099 
 
Those four states, with a collective margin of 406,348 votes for Obama, add up to 69 
electoral votes. Had Romney won 407,000 or so additional votes in the right proportion in those states, he would have 275 electoral votes.
 
All four states showed Romney ahead in the days leading up to the election. But on 
November 6, Romney lost all four states by a substantial margin, all   of which have precincts that inexplicably went 99% for Obama, had voter registrations that exceeded their population, and had experienced  problems with voting machines.
 
This election was stolen by the Democrats via vote fraud. Despite all the evidence of 
fraud, the Republican Party has been strangely silent about it.
 
Now you know why. I’ll leave you with one last, even more disturbing thought: 
 
The RNC and DNC made their Consent Decree 30 years ago, in 1982.  The agreement 
in effect gives a  carte blanche  to the Democrat Party to commit vote fraud in every voting district across America   that has, in the language of the Consent Decree, “a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic populations.” The term “substantial proportion” is not defined.
 
The Democrat Party knew this 30 years ago, more than enough time to put a plan in 
place to identify and groom their “perfect candidate” — in the words of Sen.  Harry Reid  
(D-NV) in 2008, a “light-skinned” black Democrat who has “no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.”
 
Being a black Democrat, this perfect candidate would get the support of almost all 
black Americans ( 96% in 2008 !) and other racial minorities (two-thirds of Hispanics in 2008).
 
Being a “light-skinned” black with “no Negro dialect”, this perfect candidate would get 
the support of white Americans perpetually guilt-ridden about America’s original sin of slavery.
 
It doesn’t matter if this “perfect candidate” has dubious Constitutional eligibility to be 
president. They would see to it that his original birth certificate (if there is one) would never see the light of day. The same with his other documents — his passports, school and college records, draft registration, and medical records (so we’ll never know why  Obama has that very long scar running from one side of his head, over the crown, to the other side ).
 
Now, we understand the significance of the account  Tom Fife  wrote during the 2008 
presidential campaign. Fife, a U.S. government contractor, claims that in 1992 while he was visiting Moscow, a woman with undying allegiance to Soviet Communism (the Soviet Union had recently collapsed, on December 31, 1991) told him that a black man named Barack, born of a white American woman and an African male, was being groomed by communists to be, and would be elected, President of the United States.
 
Now, we finally understand the cryptic remark made in May 2010, by Nation of Islam 
leader  Louis Farrakhan: “Obama was selected before he was elected.”
 
In 2008, this “perfect candidate” won the presidential election. And despite his many 
failures in his first term, he would be reelected in 2012 for a second term via massive vote fraud. But nothing would be done about the vote fraud, because of that Consent Decree signed by the RNC 30 years ago.
 
The Republican Party is dead — and with it, the U.S. two-party system as well — and 
the sooner we voters recognize that the better.
 
The question that remains is whether the American Republic is also dead.   
 
Comments:
 
Voter fraud was found in the states that had no ID requirements.  The other States 
need to sue those States to adopt these safeguards.

Another $6 Billion Wasted

White House Announces $6 Billion to Promote Clean Energy — in Asia

The White House announced the federal government will spend $6 billion over four years for a “sustainable energy future” plan with Asian countries that involves loaning tax dollars to other countries to increase their purchasing power for U.S. technology, services and equipment. (campaign donor payback
“Recognizing that energy and the environment are among the most pressing issues confronting our region, President Obama, in partnership with Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei and President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, today proposed the U.S.-Asia Pacific Comprehensive Partnership for a Sustainable Energy Future,” the White House announced Tuesday as Obama visits Asian Pacific countries.
The initiative comes after the Obama administration has been criticized for spending billions to subsidize U.S.-based green energy companies that went on to declare bankruptcy, including Solyndra, Ener1, A123, Beacon Power and other failed renewable energy ventures.

Global warming is a hoax and carbon is not a pollutant, but the scam goes on.  A $6 billion increase in foreign aid, on the other hand, is real, but needs to be spent quickly, before the dollar is worthless. For $7 billion, we could buy the world a Coke.

Agenda 21 in Taylor County

WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT UN AGENDA 21?

UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is the action plan to inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all information, all energy, and all human beings in the world. INVENTORY AND CONTROL
Have you wondered where these terms “sustainability” and “smart growth” and “high density urban mixed-use development” came from? Doesn't it seem like about 10 years ago you'd never heard of them and now everything seems to include these concepts? Is that just a coincidence? That every town and county and state and nation in the world would be changing their land use/planning codes and government policies to align themselves with...what?
Far from being a “conspiracy theory” or a “tin-foil hat” fantasy, this is an actual United Nations plan, signed onto in 1992 by President George HW Bush along with 178 other world leaders. The UN called it Agenda 21 because it is the Agenda for the 21st century. According to UN Secretary General Maurice Strong, the “affluent middle-class American lifestyle is unsustainable.” That includes single family homes, private vehicles, appliances, air-conditioning, dams, farming and meat-eating. They are a threat to the planet.
This might sound like a silly plan that doesn’t affect you. But look around. This economic collapse is UN Agenda 21. You’ll hear that this plan is non-binding, that it’s a dusty old plan with no teeth. That is a lie. In fact over the last 20 years this plan has been implemented all over the United States. It’s called Sustainable Development. The 3 E’s: ecology, economy, equity.
After George Bush signed it in 1992, it was brought back to the US by President Clinton (1993) when he created the President’s Council on Sustainable Development for the sole purpose of getting it into every city, county, and state in the US through federal rules, regulations, and grants. This is a global plan but is implemented locally. You’ll see it in our regional plans. and in our Taylor County Vision 2060 plan. They call for stack and pack housing, restricted mobility, and regional government. Domestic surveillance, smart meters, GMO’s, loss of freedom—all UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development. You are losing your rights..
WHAT’S WRONG WITH SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?
How could something that sounds so good be bad? Who wouldn’t want to be sustainable? Vibrant? Walkable? Bikeable? Green? These buzz words were designed to make you think that you’re doing something good for the planet. This is the biggest public relations scam in the history of the world.
Sustainable Development was created and defined by the United Nations in 1987. Clinton began to implement it in the US in 1993 by giving the American Planning Association a multi-million dollar grant to write a land use legislative blueprint for every municipality in the US. It is called Growing Smart Legislative Guidebook with Model Statutes for Planning and the Management of Change. This was completed in 2002 and is being used to train planners in every university, college and government planning office in the nation. Growing Smart is Smart Growth. Growing Smart is in our planning department and its principles are in our city and county plan. Right now. Beside this is The Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide put out by ICLEI and the United Nations. Groups like the National Association of Counties and the Florida Association of Counties are promoting Agenda21/Sustainable Development. Our county is continuing to fund these groups. Urban areas are being consolidated and rural areas are gradually being emptied of people through restrictive land use policies, gasoline costs, vehicle miles traveled, taxes, loss of rural road maintenance, closure of rural schools, closure of rural post offices, water well monitoring, smart meters, and regionalization pressures.
Smart Growth, livable communities and comprehensive/vision plans are not just the preferred building style for UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development; it is the ideology. Moving people into centralized urban areas in high density housing creates the perfect opportunity for domestic surveillance. This ideology is being used as the justification to radically change every city in the United States and to impose regulations dictated by unelected regional boards and commissions. It is remaking government. This dramatic revolution in private property rights extends to every facet of our lives: education, energy, food, housing and transportation. We are being told that this is OUR PLAN but it is not. We object to this manipulation and refuse to be subjected to it. Educate yourself. Speak out. BE the Resistance.

Current Cases of Unemployment

Immigration

The immediate primary cause of unemployment of U.S. citizens is legal and illegal immigration. We have 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and we add 125,000 legal immigrants per month.  We have 150,000 U.S. citizen new entrants to the labor market per year with very high unemployment and underemployment in the U.S. citizen new entrant category. 
If we didn’t have 12 million illegal immigrants and stopped adding new legal immigrants each month, our unemployment would suddenly drop to under 3%.
It is within government’s power to do this immediately and the fact that it has increased legal immigration rather than reduce it, is hard to understand. It’s almost as if the federal government wants the U.S. to have high unemployment.  
In the 1930s, during the 1st Great Depression the U.S. shut down legal immigration to zero.  At the time, immigration was managed by countries based on their need to increase their populations based on their demand for labor.  Earlier in U.S. history, immigrants were welcomed to advance settling the rest of the country as we moved West.

Contributing Causes of Unemployment
Other earlier events have hurt the U.S. economy and certainly have had a negative impact on our current unemployment conditions

Mortgage Securities Fraud
The global economic Meltdown of 2008 was created by government social engineering policies encouraging home ownership by non-credit-worthy individuals.  These loans were destined to fail, so mortgage lenders bundled the bad mortgages into securities and sold them as AAA investments.  The trillions of dollars lost in this scam did permanent damage to all countries.

Off-shoring for Cheaper Labor
Beginning in the 1970s U.S. companies began to close its U.S. manufacturing operations and move them overseas.  For large, older companies, it was in reaction to the unsustainable future costs associated with their Defined Benefit Pension Plans, unions, increasingly costly health insurance, U.S. government regulatory overreach and access to overseas markets.  The introduction of the PC in the 1980s boosted the economy as did earlier breakthroughs in our history like Henry Ford’s impact on automobiles and oil demand.  Even this surge in electronics manufacturing was largely off-shored by 2000.

Government Spending & Regulation
U.S. government spending and regulation have been enough to chase jobs out of the U.S.  This spending was covered by printing U.S. dollars.  The Federal Reserve increased the money supply 300% and is going higher at the rate of $40 billion a month.  This will probably cause inflation to rise in 2013 to 10%.  That means more layoffs and higher unemployment in 2013 and beyond.

Pravda Warns U.S. Citizens Against Marxism

Russian Newspaper Article - The irony of this article appearing in the English edition of Pravda  (Russian on-line newspaper) defies description. Why can a Russian newspaper print the following yet the American media can't/won't see it?

American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper  by Stanislav Mishin

(Pravda) It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more than Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more than happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America .

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America 's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Weimar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, losses, and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more than ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the sheer volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties, and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motors) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self-given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK 's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, and so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "free man" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance, and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Frank, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, dives while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest, and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Comments:

Our most anti-Marxist U.S. residents are recent arrivals from various parts of the former USSR.  They will tell you, ‘We came to the U.S. for the freedom to earn a living. We are very worried that the U.S. government is dragging us down the path to ruin this U.S. economy.’  
They don’t think most U.S. citizens are aware of what is happening and they are correct.

Mishin admits that Russians know that the largest U.S. Banks bankrolled the Marxists in Russia in 1917 and they know that U.S. money printing will end in destroying the dollar and our economy and we don’t act like we know that.  They are warning us and we should heed their warning.
