The future looks very bleak

The crash of the US economy has begun. Although the reasons for the now-accelerating economic fiasco have been in place for decades, the
chickens are only now coming home to roost. The murder weapons used to
kill the economy are "free trade," outsourcing, illegal immigration,
special work visa programs, and unrestrained government spending, which
have all contributed to the

death of what was just a few decades ago the
economic powerhouse of the world.
The balance of trade between most of
our trading partners in this so called system of "free trade" is
completely lopsided. For instance, the flood of products which are
imported to the US just from China alone, in contrast to US exports to
China, has created a trade deficit in the trillions of dollars. This sort
of one-way trade is unsustainable, and if nothing drastic is done to
address this situation, America's economy will be reduced to that of a
third world country.
The first indicators of economic collapse have
already manifested themselves in the housing industry, and the big three
American auto makers. Teetering on bankruptcy, they will be the first of
the large economic dominos to fall, and the rest will follow in short
order. As a consequence, something on the scale of another Great
Depression may be a possibility.
America has been scammed big-time over
the years. The corporate wheelers and dealers, with the complicity
of their bought and paid for political whores in Washington, have sold
the American working man down the river, and the general welfare
of the entire country as well.
Reacting to mounting criticism of the
present economic status quo, the corporate crooks and their political
hit men blame the miserable economic situation on their victims -- the
greedy American worker, the communist labor unions, the demand of
Americans to have clean air and water, and worst of all the bunker
mentality of the American people to put up fences against free trade,
protectionism. This unenviable anti business situation, they say, was
instrumental in forcing harried U.S. corporations to locate elsewhere
in more business friendly areas of the world.
Because these same
corporations own most of the mass media in America, very little if any
blame at all is placed upon the multi billion dollar corporations whose
decisions, based entirely on greed, have set off these disastrous events
in the first place.
Coinciding with the mounting economic problems of
the nation is that of a growing threat to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit
of Happiness by a group of unelected conspirators who have seized
control of Americas highest political office. This group of traitors,
with Bush crime family member and usurper of the Office of President,
George Walker Bush, has ceaselessly
undermined the authority of the Constitution and laws of the United
States.
Since the installation of this cabal, a series of events have
unfolded not seen since Hitler's burning of the Reichstag. The attack on
the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC,
followed by the anthrax threat to Congress, was carefully contrived to
give the Bush Cabal the support necessary to begin military operations
to secure the resources of the Mideast, and to pass the PATRIOT Act and
other draconian legislation, bestowing upon this illegal regime the
power to spy, arrest, and torture anyone, including American citizens,
they deem as enemy combatants.
With the economy failing, and the
fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan continuing with no end in sight, the
newly-elected Congress sits on its hands, unwilling to act. Nor are they
moving to remove the 9/11 conspirators and war criminals from the White
House.
This is not only a bleak scenario for the American people but for
the entire world as well. Emboldened by the timidity of the new
Congress, the Bush cabal is moving ahead with their plans for war with
Iran, which will not be long in coming.
Although I would like to end my
remarks on a positive note, at this moment I do not see anything good
happening in the near future. Despite the growing disenchantment and
suspicion of Bush and his policies, he and his cabal are still in firm
control of the Country.
Further, it is foolish to think that after Bush leaves
office, the next occupants of the White House will set things
straight. This is not going to happen.
The fact of the matter is that our
Government is no longer in charge of matters, but operates as a rubber
stamp for those parasitic entities which have infiltrated into the core
of government. In reality, policy in Washington is not determined by the
wants and needs of the American people, but by the whim of the wealthy
and powerful elite whose seemingly inexhaustible riches and thirst for more riches supercedes
everything else. These corrupt and treasonous individuals within the
halls of power will stop at nothing, including war and murder, in order
to attain their diabolical ends.
We should also not delude ourselves
that an economic collapse will somehow quicken the removal of the cancer
which is hastening the demise of our Republic. Just as they have used
the threat of terrorism to cow the people, so will they use economic
failure to justify a further tightening of the screws. It is going to be
a long hard struggle to rid ourselves of this evil, make no mistake
about it.
