From physical slavery to debt slavery, Americans should go see the movie Lincoln

Finally I was able to watch Lincoln!!! (Set out one night to do so and that evening didn’t turn out the way I thought)…but that’s okay because tonight was the right night. I can’t begin to say how impressed I am; or how saddened that it took so long for our nation to accomplish what should have been self-evident to all men. The words; “He is no longer with us; he belongs now to the ages,” I find haunting.

I am deeply disturbed at the sight of our nation today and the apathy of many that we seem to care more about continuing to accept the status quo that has created the deep inequality among men that we see once again, than I can possibly say. That we go about our way failing to realize how important it is for Americans to stand together once again to defeat a new oppression that will, if continued; enslave once again a huge portion of our population; this time in economic slavery rather one based on race; one that will affect us all.

Lincoln’s words from his 2nd Inaugural Address have me close to tears; “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

Just as there were men who wanted the right to oppress others then; there are amongst us a new breed of men who are working diligently to accomplish the same purpose; we call them businessmen and some, just as before, are our politicians. Will this new dilemma deliver the same result; with thousands of bodies to show for our lack of compassion toward one another? Maybe every American should watch this movie…not only watch it but absorb it's message and truly take it to heart...that it is the general welfare of mankind that is important; a nation is its PEOPLE; not its might or its wealth! It is not too late to achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations…unless we give up, abandon the fight for right, and allow it to occur.

Few Americans are aware of what corporations are doing to hide their profits in order to pay there fair share of taxes, while getting the U.S. Citizens to pay through the roof everything the government thinks they owe.  How fair and noble of our congress and president to allow this to continue without a single executive decisions to end this atrocity is beyond me. Such is the life in serfdom U.S.A.

Are You With America or the Cayman Islands

By Bernie Sanders, Reader Supported News

09 February 13

hen the greed, recklessness, and illegal behavior on Wall Street drove this country into the deepest recession since the 1930s, the largest financial institutions in the United States took every advantage of being American. They just loved their country - and the willingness of the American people to provide them with the largest bailout in world history. In 2008, Congress approved a $700 billion gift to Wall Street. Another $16 trillion in virtually zero interest loans and other financial assistance came from the Federal Reserve. America. What a great country.

But just two years later, as soon as these giant financial institutions started making record-breaking profits again, they suddenly lost their love for their native country. At a time when the nation was suffering from a huge deficit, largely created by the recession that Wall Street caused, the major financial institutions did everything they could to avoid paying American taxes by establishing shell corporations in the Cayman Islands and other tax havens.

In 2010, Bank of America set up more than 200 subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands (which has a corporate tax rate of 0.0 percent) to avoid paying U.S. taxes. It worked. Not only did Bank of America pay nothing in federal income taxes, but it received a rebate from the IRS worth $1.9 billion that year. They are not alone. In 2010, JP Morgan Chase operated 83 subsidiaries incorporated in offshore tax havens to avoid paying some $4.9 billion in U.S. taxes. That same year Goldman Sachs operated 39 subsidiaries in offshore tax havens to avoid an estimated $3.3 billion in U.S. taxes. Citigroup has paid no federal income taxes for the last four years after receiving a total of $2.5 trillion in financial assistance from the Federal Reserve during the financial crisis.

On and on it goes. Wall Street banks and large companies love America when they need corporate welfare. But when it comes to paying American taxes or American wages, they want nothing to do with this country. That has got to change.

Offshore tax abuse is not just limited to Wall Street. Each and every year corporations and the wealthy are avoiding more than $100 billion in U.S. taxes by sheltering their income offshore.

Pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly and Pfizer have fought to make it illegal for the American people to buy cheaper prescription drugs from Canada and Europe. But, during tax season, Eli Lilly and Pfizer shift drug patents and profits to the Netherlands and other offshore tax havens to avoid paying U.S. taxes.

Apple wants all of the advantages of being an American company, but it doesn't want to pay American taxes or American wages. It creates the iPad, the iPhone, the iPod, and iTunes in the United States, but manufactures most of its products in China so it doesn't have to pay American wages. Then it shifts most of its profits to Ireland, Luxembourg, the British Virgin Islands and other tax havens to avoid paying U.S. taxes. Without such maneuvers, Apple's federal tax bill in the United States would have been $2.4 billion higher in 2011.

Offshore tax schemes have become so absurd that one five-story office building in the Cayman Islands is now the "home" to more than 18,000 corporations.

This tax avoidance does not just reduce the revenue that we need to pay for education, healthcare, roads, and environmental protection, it is also costing us millions of American jobs. Today, companies are using these same tax schemes to lower their tax bills by shipping American jobs and factories abroad. These tax breaks have contributed to the loss of more than 5 million U.S. manufacturing jobs and the closure of more than 56,000 factories since 2000. That also has got to change.

At a time when we have a $16.5 trillion national debt; at a time when roughly one-quarter of the largest corporations in America are paying no federal income taxes; and at a time when corporate profits are at an all-time high; it is past time for Wall Street and corporate America to pay their fair share.

That's what the Corporate Tax Dodging Prevention Act (S.250) that I have introduced with Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) is all about.

This legislation will stop profitable Wall Street banks and corporations from sheltering profits in the Cayman Islands and other tax havens to avoid paying U.S. taxes. It will also stop rewarding companies that ship jobs and factories overseas with tax breaks. The Joint Committee on Taxation has estimated in the past that the provisions in this bill will raise more than $590 billion in revenue over the next decade.

As Congress debates deficit reduction, it is clear that we must raise significant new revenue. At 15.8 percent of GDP, federal revenue is at almost the lowest point in 60 years. Our Republican colleagues want to balance the budget on the backs of the elderly, the sick, the children, the veterans and the most vulnerable by making massive cuts. At a time when the middle class already is disappearing, that is not only a grossly immoral position, it is bad economics.

We have a much better idea. Wall Street and the largest corporations in the country must begin to pay their fair share of taxes. They must not be able to continue hiding their profits offshore and shipping American jobs overseas to avoid taxes.

Here's the simple truth. You can't be an American company only when you want a massive bailout from the American people. You have also got to be an American company, and pay your fair share of taxes, as we struggle with the deficit and adequate funding for the needs of the American people. If Wall Street and corporate America don't agree, the next time they need a bailout let them go to the Cayman Islands, let them go to Bermuda, let them go to the Bahamas and let them ask those countries for corporate welfare.

Will False Flag Wars ever end? Not according to what happens to those that speak out.

More evidence that wars are based on lies and deception.  How do we stop this from happening?

Audit the FED, needs your support for (S. 209))

To all citizens that support this initiative please sign this petition.  Bill introduced by Rand Paul, U.S. Senator and son for Ron Paul.

On Monday, I introduced Audit the Fed (S. 209) in the U.S. Senate to put an end to the Fed's "print-now, ask-questions-later" policies that are bankrupting every man, woman, and child in the United States.

Of course, Ben Bernanke's puppets in Congress are doing everything they can to stop folks like you from blowing the lid off the Federal Reserve.

Don't let them get away with the plundering any longer.

Read the email below from my father about how you can fight back - and be sure to sign your Audit the Fed petition to C4L IMMEDIATELY.

In Liberty,
Rand Paul, MD
U.S. Senator (R-KY)

Wow, could this be true?

The idea that poverty can be eliminated by massive spending on food, shelter, and education is a lot more believable than the idea that peace can be achieved through massive spending on military weaponry.

Who Controls The Money? An Unelected, Unaccountable Central Bank Of The World Secretly Does Read more at http://investmentwatchblog.com/who-controls-the-money-an-unelected-unaccountable-central-bank-of-the-world-secretly-does

Need I say more regarding our financial chaos.  It is controlled and manipulated by a handfull of organizations who can make or break nations, societies, and human evolution at will.  Humanity is at their beckon call to do whatever this organization deems necessary.  Solution: Love the ones your with and enjoy the simple times before you exit this planet. Pray to the Divine for his wisdom and guidance to preserve your spirit and soul.

==========================================
 
An immensely powerful international organization that most people have never even heard of secretly controls the money supply of the entire globe.  It is called the Bank for International Settlements, and it is the central bank of central banks.  It is located in Basel, Switzerland, but it also has branches in Hong Kong and Mexico City.  It is essentially an unelected, unaccountable central bank of the world that has complete immunity from taxation and from national laws.  Even Wikipedia admits that “it is not accountable to any single national government.“  The Bank for International Settlements was used to launder money for the Nazis during World War II, but these days the main purpose of the BIS is to guide and direct the centrally-planned global financial system.  Today, 58 global central banks belong to the BIS, and it has far more power over how the U.S. economy (or any other economy for that matter) will perform over the course of the next year than any politician does.  Every two months, the central bankers of the world gather in Basel for another “Global Economy Meeting”.  During those meetings, decisions are made which affect every man, woman and child on the planet, and yet none of us have any say in what goes on.  The Bank for International Settlements is an organization that was founded by the global elite and it operates for the benefit of the global elite, and it is intended to be one of the key cornerstones of the emerging one world economic system.  It is imperative that we get people educated about what this organization is and where it plans to take the global economy.
