The Soaring Cost of Government Secrecy

Federal whistleblower Sibel Edmonds describes how the cost of keeping government secrets under wraps is spiraling out of control. Don’t you love how they confiscate wealth from us in order to keep secrets from us?

“With the September 11 Terrorist Attacks the establishment had all it needed to take government secrecy to new heights where neither the Constitution nor the separation of powers would matter or be applicable. These new heights could never be reached in a functioning and live democracy, nor could they be sustained and flourish without a home marked by all the characteristics of a police state. Those new heights were indeed reached, and they surely have been not only sustained, but actually increased; notch by notch. Waving the national security flag nonstop, reminding us on a daily basis of some vague boogiemen terrorists who may be hiding under our beds, drilling the words terror-terrorists-terrorism every hour, did the magic; thanks to the US Media.”

Federal Parasites Owe $3 Billion in 2008 Taxes

File this under the “do as I say, not as I do” category. Our Federal overlords are a privileged class, so why should they pay taxes? As Leona Helmsley once said, “Only the little people pay taxes.” She was referring to chumps like you and me.

“WASHINGTON – At a time when the White House is projecting the largest deficit in the nation’s history, Uncle Sam is trying to recover billions of dollars in unpaid taxes from its own employees.

“Federal workers owe more than $3 billion in income taxes they failed to pay in 2008. According to Internal Revenue Service documents, 276,300 federal employees and retirees owe $3,042,200,000.”

Congress Increasing Credit Limit a Year Prior to Elections

Congress is scrambling to increase the federal debt ceiling—money drawn on our account—well enough in advance of next November’s midterm elections that we’ll forget about it by the time they come begging for reelection. One might ask why, if a “debt ceiling” may be raised at will, there’s any debt ceiling to begin with. The answer is that its purpose is to create the illusion of restraint on spending.

“House Democrats are readying a package of bills for next week that will likely include a significant increase in the federal debt ceiling and tens of billions of dollars for job creation, hoping to clear the decks of two key issues before Congress adjourns for the year.

“House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) said Friday that leaders were planning to raise the nation’s credit limit by at least $1.8 trillion, a much larger increase than Democrats had contemplated earlier this year. The current limit of $12.1 trillion is expected to be reached by the end of December.”

Globalists Introduce a Plan to Confiscate More Wealth

The meeting in Copenhagen is ostensibly about fighting “climate change,” but its true purpose is to establish a global authority governed by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund that will further cripple the economies of the developed nations. The promise of delivering money and technology to poorer nations is a sham intended to stir up resentment and goad the poor nations into signing onto a plan that will further empower bureaucrats.

“(CNSNews.com) – A draft proposal released by the United Nation’s climate negotiating group outlines a plan for creating two new international agencies designed to transfer technology and money from developed Western states such as the United States to undeveloped Third World Countries.”

Recession Has Been a ‘Godsend’ for the Federal Bureaucracy

A system is developing under which everyone will be part of a global collective in some way. The story linked here provides a snapshot of the controllers who occupy the top positions in the U.S. They are pure consumers, not producers. They stand at the apex of the parasite class.

“Plutocrats are no longer only the Daddy Warbucks types, wearing diamond stickpins and puffing on oversized cigars (although Hank Paulson clearly illustrates that such types have not disappeared). Now they are also the blank-faced bureaucrats, dozing over their desks in nondescript office buildings.”

The Feds Have Seized Your Money; Now They Want Your Water

So, you think you own the water in that well or stream on your land? Think again. You’re merely a sharecropper here, boy.

“Upwards of 40 percent of all land in the United States is already under some form of government control or ownership — 800 million to 900 million acres out of America’s total 2.2 billion acres.

“The government now appears poised to wield greater control over private property on a number of fronts. The battle over private property rights has intensified since 2005, when the Supreme Court ruled in the Kelo v. City of New London case that the government could take property from one group of private landowners and give it to another.”
