The U.S. Already Has one of the World’s Most Anti-Rich Tax Structures

horror4

Political observer Michael Barone watched the recent Democratic debate very closely. His conclusions are here.

The Democrats vying for President talked a great deal about “income inequality,” but offered few solutions to this alleged problem. A constant theme among current Democrats (and government trusters generally) is that “the rich” must be taxed more; and their wealth must be redistributed to “the poor,” to make things more “equal.”

But Barone points out that the current IRS burden already falls mostly on the rich. In fact, the U.S. tax burden is already the most “progressive” (meaning anti-rich) in the modern world:

current rates are the most progressive in the advanced OECD countries. The Scandinavian countries praised by Sanders have value-added (meaning sales) taxes around 25 percent.

France’s Top Meteorologist FIRED from Government TV for Questioning Government’s “Climate Change” Claims!

ice axes

France’s government has been pushing the manmade-climate-change-by-CO2 agenda extremely hard. France is organizing the upcoming Paris climate conference in which the world’s western governments will once again push for more socialism and control.

In June 2014, Laurent Fabius, the French foreign minister, summoned the country’s main weather presenters and told them to mention “climate chaos” in their forecasts.

Now France’s government-owned TV network, “France 2,” has fired the best-known weather expert in France, Philippe Verdier, for criticizing the claims of manmade-global-warming alarmists. The London Telegraph story is here.

Verdier has recently authored a book accusing global-warming-alarm promoters of “taken the world hostage” with misleading data.

Mr Verdier said: “Every night I address five million French people to talk to you about the wind, the clouds and the sun. And yet there is something important, very important that I haven’t been able to tell you, because it’s neither the time nor the place to do so.”

He added: “We are hostage to a planetary scandal over climate change – a war machine whose aim is to keep us in fear.”

Afterwards, according to Verdier, “I received a letter telling me not to come. I’m in shock,” he told RTL radio. “This is a direct extension of what I say in my book, namely that any contrary views must be eliminated.”

Gallup Poll: the Most Knowledgeable Americans Hold Government in Greatest Contempt

dayrage_dees

An interesting new poll by Gallup: those voters who have the most knowledge of current events and government policies have the greatest contempt for government.

As the Libertarian Party writes:

“The fundamental finding is that Americans who know the most about how Congress operates are not only the most negative about Congress in general, but also about the Republicans and Democrats in Congress specifically. This reinforces the general conclusion that criticisms of Congress — and the partisan leaders in Congress — are based on a realistic assessment of what these entities are doing rather than a lack of awareness of or interest in what they are doing.”

What do Americans Fear Above all other Things? Government Corruption

tyranny3

Our masters in government routinely propagandize us to surrender ever-more freedom and deliver ever-more power to government officials.

But a new Chapman University poll shows Americans list “government corruption” as THEIR GREATEST FEAR.

Fear of government corruption is ranked above “terrorism,” crime, financial insecurity, climate disaster and every other potential threat. See TIME Magazine story here.

Fear of government is quite logical, given that the average person in the world is far more likely to be killed by his own government than by any other source. See here.

Vast Billions Appear to be Missing From “Affordable Care Act” Treasuries

horror1

It is not unusual for government programs with immense budgets to “lose” large amounts of money. Government agents are known to siphon off money for use on fine dining, fancy hotels, payoffs and kickbacks and the occasional new deck or swimming pool in the back yard.

But according to Mytheos Holt (see here), several BILLION DOLLARS are missing from various “Obamacare”-network treasuries, or have been spent without explanation.

Holt suspects that vast millions may have been spent on propaganda efforts, on campaigns promoting Obamacare, and on payoffs to state officials in exchange for “supporting” the program.

Government’s “War on Terror” Now Focusing on Americans as Targets

cops2

Every government ultimately comes for all property, all money, all freedom, and to kill all who resist.

Yesterday, the U.S. Justice Department announced a major new program and office dedicated to surveilling Americans and targeting so-called “home-grown” terror threats. See here.

As many observers predicted, the vast “War on Terror” has come home. Those who criticize expansive, intrusive government are known be high on the list of those targeted.

Previously-leaked secret government documents have already characterized libertarians, third-party voters and constitutionalists as “domestic extremists.” See here.

Social Security has Redistributed Hundreds of Billions of Dollars from Blacks to Whites

poverty1

A 1996 Rand study authored by Constantijn Panis and Lee Lillard found that the average Black male loses approximately $10,000 to Social Security over his lifetime. Because Blacks have lower average life expectancy than whites, most of this money is transferred to white people.

Social Security ranks second only to the institution of slavery as history’s most evil mechanism for forcibly robbing blacks of their resources and delivering those resources to whites.

Here is a link to the study.

Nixon demanded that all photos of other presidents be removed from Executive Office Building

Alexander P. Butterfield, former deputy in the Nixon Administration, recounts the following story:

On Christmas Eve 1969, Nixon walked through the Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House to wish employees a merry Christmas. Nixon discovered that some employees had prominently displayed photographs of President John F. Kennedy. Nixon was furious and ordered that all photos of other presidents be removed.

Unearthed Nixon Memo: 10 Years of total control over Vietnam Airspace Achieved “Zilch”

DSC09194_14140411_std

The hubris and arrogance of governments and government officials is rarely realized by the officials themselves.

Conventional wisdom among political scientists suggests that when governments achieve TOTAL domination and control over others, great achievements and accomplishments are just moments away.

Yet the opposite is true.

Take, for example, “total institutions” such as prisons. One might think that they would produce perfect, er . . . “corrected” people. Yet all history shows prisons produce the worst of all human beings.

Take, for example, the Soviet Union–the “workers paradise”–according to Marxists. It was actually hell on earth for workers and the poor.

Now a recently-surfaced memo shows the thoughts of U.S. President Richard Nixon on Jan. 3, 1972 about the U.S.’s total control of Vietnamese airspace.

We have had 10 years of total control of the air in Laos and V.Nam. The result = Zilch. There is something wrong with the strategy or the Air Force.”

(Just one day earlier, Nixon told CBS News that “the results [of U.S. air force actions in Vietnam] have been very, very effective.”)

New study: Government Regulations are the PRIMARY Reason Why the Poor Cannot Launch Businesses

sociallism

Trusters of the state often decry the gap between the rich and the poor and call for socialist policies to cure this allegedly growing gap. Specifically, they demand ever-more taxation and wealth redistribution, along with greater and greater levels of regulation on industry.

But those very policies are the CHIEF REASON why the poor cannot narrow the gap.

Socialism inevitably benefits the rich, and entrenched business interests, while keeping the poor from getting started in business. See the study here.
