U.S. Treasury Commits Accounting Fraud To Create Budget Surplus

The U.S. Treasury has committed fraud in order to avoid the $16.7 trillion debt limit set by congress. Since May 15, 2013 the Treasury has borrowed at least $51 billion and reported no additional national debt.

Treasury Secretary Lew implemented a not-so “standard set of extraordinary measures” and wrote House Speaker John Boehner explaining the book cooking. Business Insider has the full letter posted. Lord Monckton explains the details in Outright Fraud at the U.S. Treasury:

That limit was – and is – $16.7 trillion. A trillion is a 1 with 12 noughts on the end. It is a million millions. It’s a whole lot. $16.7 trillion is 16.7 whole lots. You could buy most of my art collection with that.

But Obust just went on spending. By close of what passes for business May 17, the U.S. debt subject to congressional limit rose to $16,699,396,000,000.00. That is what passes for a smidgen below the limit.

But Obankrupt just went on spending. By close of what once passed for business July 12, he had borrowed another $51 billion.

Yet by close of casino July 12, according to the Treasury’s accounting, the U.S. debt subject to congressional limit had risen, compared with 56 days previously, by exactly $0,000,000,000,000.00.

What about the net $51 billion in extra borrowing over the past couple of months? Secretary Lew has vanished it.

If you think I’m foaming at the mouth, here is the Treasury’s own graph:

...

In the commercial sector, false accounting is a felony. Armies of overpaid, under-skilled regulators are waiting to pounce upon every cent that goes astray.

In the State sector, false accounting is also supposed to be a felony. Yet armies of overpaid, under-skilled Republicans are waiting to draw their next fat check out of the Treasury. As long as their checks keep coming, they will not – will not – ask the right questions and demand honest answers and straight accounting.

Corruption was once something that happened only in third-world countries. But then, the current administration’s wanton profligacy with other people’s money has reduced the United States to third-world status. Bankruptcy and corruption tend to go hand in hand.

Despite this information, financial news failed to put two and two together and reported the cooked books as a $117 billion budget surplus in June:

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. federal government ran a budget surplus of $117 billion in June, the Treasury Department reported Thursday, as receipts rose and spending fell compared to the same month a year ago. For the fiscal year to date, the deficit is $510 billion, 44% less than the shortfall recorded in the same period last year, thanks mostly to increased revenue . The government's receipts totaled $287 billion in June, and spending was $170 billion. In June last year, the government posted a deficit of $60 billion. The government's fiscal year runs from October to September.

The SLOBs Want YOU!

San Diego has an active tea party movement. We are part of a group called The San Diego Local Order of Bloggers, the SLOBs, and this is a way we are making a difference.

The city, state and country seem at odds with individual liberties, but as they say "all politics is local" and we are the grassroots defenders of civil rights. We are individuals who have studied the problems of humanity and concluded that the "common good" is a facade espoused by those who lust for power to miseducated followers. We know that the highest moral good is individual freedom.

There are many national organizations that claim the mantle of defenders of freedom and wave the smaller government banner, but they do not seem to be producing results. My personal belief is that these organizations were founded nobly, but often run astray due to a lack of accountability to supporters.

For example, Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner has assisted in alienating the entire Ron Paul movement which may have cost the Presidency. He is also failing to effectively deal with President Obama on the fiscal cliff or national debt. The debt issue is coincidentally of paramount importance to the various freedom movements, including the Ron Paul movement. Nevertheless, John Boehner was just confirmed as the Republican Speaker of the House.

The national tea party organizations are similarly stuck in a bad position. By collecting local monies through donation drives they hope to purchase influence on the national scene. However, draining local resources hurts the growth of the movement. It exposes the movement to high level corruption instead of utilizing the low level competition of ideas representative of the ethics and ideals of the movement.

How many people are selling tea party t-shirts or becoming tea party organizers at the moment? Not enough. There is not enough money at the local level to organize. It is either taken by a political party or a national tea party organization.  The power hungry leftists infiltrate rich charitable organizations, use public financing (i.e. ACORN and Planned Parenthood) and legally enforce union dues to pay for organizing locally.

The Republican Party and national tea party organizations seem to be blaming each other for failures at the moment. This is a dangerous cycle that the media and other collectivists push in order to divide the supporters of individual civil rights. The left is masterful at dividing people into groups in order to subjugate them.

Further, the large freedom promoting organizations are vilified by a mostly hostile media and used to limit the number of sources of our message. Notice that the NRA is currently the spokesman for the entire second amendment. Demonize the NRA and the arguments they make are demonized as well.

There is a marketing theory stating "people believe what they are told from three sources." Reliance upon one messaging source doesn't sell. A hundred spokesmen for liberty is more effective than a sole expert voice.

This is where individuals matter more than a political party or a national organization. You can have an impact beginning with the people around you by applying your unique abilities free of organizational hindrance. Conservatives are "go-getters" and individualists who are uniquely capable of innovation and perseverance.

TheSlobs.org is our innovation in the battle for liberty. It is our social networking machine and an example of what can be accomplished by a few people and determination. On this blog, a post describes "How to Promote Freedom on TheSLOBs.org." It is a menu option at the top of The SLOBs website titled "How To Use." However, we want to explain, what the SLOBs website is.

Overview

Our website is technically a blog aggregator with search engine optimization and social networking automation. Each time a blogger adds a new article, the article pops up on the website, Facebook, Twitter and in our Android App. Because the article is automatically available in several places on the internet , the article gains better position in search engines.

Details

The website is intuitive and promotes our fellow bloggers work. It keeps us reading and commenting on each other's work to promote the collaboration of ideas. The collaboration is not managed which maximized innovation by allowing us to pursue stories and ideas. Many great ideas are built on the shoulders of other great ideas. In a battle of ideas, this is a tremendous advantage.  Because the fact that our bloggers hold diverse perspectives, the SLOBs is a rich collaborating team.

Users find and share our articles on any social networking site from one central location at www.theslobs.org. Ironically, the one social networking site that does not interact directly with our site is FreedomConnector.org, but they are working on it. Each time a user shares an article, it helps everyone gain possible readers and improves the search engine ranking of the post.

We are integrated with a Facebook, and my personal Twitter account automatically tweets every article based upon blog "labels". At the bottom of the website is a "wire network" feed based on the top story from the bloggers at the moment. The wire network adds a hard news element.

The website automatically updates about every four hours, but can be manually updated via a blue refresh button. The site also integrates with an android app that has a few extra features like search and storage of stories. A Windows 8 App is in the works.

The features of the website are cool, but the power is found in expanding the reach of freedom fighters. The bloggers do not see the app statistics, but since Sept 2011 the android app has added 115,658 reads. The biggest uncommon usage of the our RSS feed is on RebelMouse.com, a social networking aggregator.

What You Can Do

Personally, I am a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer and a Silver Microsoft Partner for Small Business. This project required determination on my part, but it is successful because of the participation of the bloggers and organizers involved.  Success required the larger effort of a small group of motivated individuals.

This solution can be customized to other freedom minded groups with some aesthetic changes by contacted me. The real question is what your skills, talents and effort can produce. Only you can answer that...

Guns are Civil Rights

FISCAL CLIFF NOTE

Normally this blog would be talking about the so called "fiscal cliff" deal. The outcome of the deal is horrific for the economy and only slightly better than if the we had just fallen off the "cliff." President Obama reportedly was asked by House Speaker John Boehner what he would get in exchange for increased taxes and was told, "You get nothing. I get that for free." So, the entire episode has been about the sociopathic mentality of our president. There is nothing more to add as this is not about economics or policy, it is only about power.

GUNS

Recently I have been confronted by many people on both sides of the political spectrum who have been mislead by the media about guns. The media is sensationalizing the tragedy in the "gun free" school zone in Connecticut by reporting the story as if he had a machine gun and calling his weapons "rapid fire." So, here are a few facts.

You cannot buy a machine gun at K-Mart.

Semi-automatic weapons have no greater capability of "rapid fire" than an old west style six shooter revolvers. They may be able to hold more ammo in a magazine or drum than a revolver.

Semi-automatic simply means a weapon is not a revolver, but loads the next round of ammo. Normally the next round of ammo is loaded via a spring instead of a revolver action.

Machine guns are automatic weapons.

The average gun owner cannot change a semi-automatic weapon into a full automatic weapon or load a high capacity drum magazine of ammo. To do either would require significant training. Most military personnel could not convert a semi-automatic weapon into a fully automatic weapon.

Semi-automatic weapons do not fire repeatedly if you hold down the trigger.

Machine guns fire big bullets, like rifle bullets or even larger.

Submachine guns fire pistol rounds, like the "Tommy Gun" famous in the 1920's. This is the prototype of a "assault weapon."

The Thompson submachine gun or Tommy gun was invented by General John T. Thompson, it was the first hand held machine gun. Thompson was driven with the thought of creating a hand held machinegun that would help end the First World War, However, "the first shipment of prototype guns destined for Europe arrived at the docks in New York city on November 11, 1918, the day the War ended."

"Assault Weapons" are automatic weapons. They are machine guns or submachine guns. The first modern assault weapon was the "storm rifle," StG 44 created by the socialist tyrants we know as the NAZI party. NAZI is German shortened from National Socialist Party.

 literally means "storm rifle" as in "to storm (i.e. "assault") an enemy position"

You cannot buy an assault weapon or any automatic weapon without a federal license in the United States. The license entitles the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to inspect the weapon at any time.

There are separate models of guns for the military and law enforcement personnel that are not available to private citizens. Many guns may look the same, but privately available guns fire smaller bullets and are not automatic weapons. The reason they look the same is for marketability in the open market.

CIVIL RIGHTS

Now that we are on the same page about the definition of semi-automatic weapons, lets discuss why they are important.

Imagine that you are arrested for murder. Readers of this blog are obviously innocent of such a crime, but how is our judicial system set up to ensure that innocent people are not convicted of crimes? 

First, we have a  police force that is comprised of screened, respectable and honorable citizens. Next we have a judicial system comprised of judges so honorable they are referred to as "Your Honor." Finally, we have a trial by jury system that ensures that your peers, who are unbiased toward you, decide your fate. The government is there to protect you on three levels.

Wait a second, what did we forget... the prosecutor. OK, so one professional is entrusted to decide who to prosecute and who should not be prosecuted. There are four levels of government protecting you. 

So, you have been arrested for a murder, which we know that you did not commit. The police have put you in jail. The prosecutor schedules a hearing before the judge and the judge will decide if a trial by jury is required. 

We must have forgotten something else, because you are not likely a professionally trained criminal attorney who could mount the best defense of your life and liberty. You likely do not know the procedures of the court or rules of evidence. As a matter of fact, under these circumstances, you are completely dependent upon the good nature of the people in government. People who do not know you and are likely to face the worst elements of society on a daily basis. 

Call me a cynic, but there is a pretty good chance your goose is cooked. There must be some reason they arrested you. The people on the jury are going to think the same thing. Further, that flashy prosecutor has convicted a whole lot of people and knows what he is doing. 

As a matter of fact, I have my reservations that even the Honorable Judge would be able to give you an unbiased trial in these circumstances. All the information will be coming from the prosecutor, who must believe you are guilty. Moreover, you have been sitting in jail for a few weeks, and it shows.

Wait a second, you have the right to an attorney. You have a civil right to a professionally trained, criminal defense attorney who has not been sitting in jail, who knows the rules of the court and who can mount a defense of your life and liberty. You have an equalizer!

YOU DO NOT RELY UPON THE GOOD NATURE OF THE PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT WITH YOUR LIFE AND LIBERTY!

Even with four levels of government protection, you have a civil right to defend your life and liberty. Doesn't that sounds like the exact reason for your second amendment civil right to bare arms?

Bill O'Reilly

The other day Bill O'Reilly on The Factor made the comment that "if the American military is coming for you, a gun won't matter."  He made this comment in response the thousands of letters reminding him that one of the reasons for the second amendment was to ensure the government did not become a tyranny. 

Couldn't the exact same argument be made from a legal stand point, "if the American government wants to put you in jail, an attorney won't matter."  The IRS Tax code is so convoluted that no one has complied with every interpretation of every rule. There are certainly other regulations and laws which most everyone is unaware. Each such interpretation of a regulation or law could be used to overpower even the best legal defense team. Regardless, our civil right to a defense attorney stands as an equalizer to the power of the government. This is the difference between a subject and a citizen, a check and balance of power.

It may be that Mr. O'Reilly fails to understand the argument. The reason that the Empire of Japan did not invade U.S. soil was, in the words of General Isoroku Yamamoto, 

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." (Prange files [the files of the late Gordon W. Prange, chief historian on the staff of Gen. Douglas MacArthur])

The same could be said of the American military. If presented an order to forcefully suppress the American people, conservatives in the ranks would resist. As a last resort, the citizenry would prove that, "The fiercest serpent may be overcome by a swarm of ants."

According to Ammoland, more guns were purchased last year in the United States than than there are active duty military members in the world’s fourteen largest armies combined
