Are you distracted enough yet?

Even vital, life-threatening, earth-shattering distractions are still just that. Distractions. And frankly, they wouldn’t be very good at distracting you if they weren’t so very attention-grabbing. I’m not saying that you can or have to ignore them, but PLEASE don’t let it fill your entire field of vision. Pay attention to what is going on nationally & worldwide.

If I wanted to distract the world from the time theft that’s going on, I’d come up with worldwide, epic distractions too. Need an example? LOOK AROUND YOU, for goodness sake!!! My God, if you need me to point out the distractions, you’re hopeless. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting one dire calamity or another. (I actually dislike that expression, but it is so very compelling…)

For you non-hopeless people, who’ve wondered at the craziness that has seemed to sprout out of nowhere, let’s look at what the Federal Reserve is doing to steal your time, via the privatization of debt. You get all the debt, but none of the benefits. Sorry, that went into other pockets.

First, let’s look at a couple of definitions of “tax”, shall we?

1. Contribution for the support of a government required of persons, groups, or businesses within the domain of that government.
2. A fee or dues levied on the members of an organization to meet its expenses.

So we’re looking at either a “contribution of the support of a GOVERNMENT” or “fees/dues levied on MEMBERS of an organization”.

Tax Definition 1: Printing trillions of dollars and buying junk bonds, bailing out corporations, etc does NOT support the government. Bailouts of corporations do not support a government in any way other than to make a politician’s benefactors (i.e. lobbyists) or significant corporate stakeholders happy. That’s not support of the government, that’s corporate sponsorship of the government. That money is directly supporting corporations and their major stakeholders, NOT the government. See Tax Definition 2.

Tax Definition 2: What Trillion Dollar Money Printing organization did We The People join? What Corporate (Bailout) Organization are We The People members of that we are required to pay fees/dues? If we were members of that Corporate Organization, we’d be able to actively vote on AND AFFECT their risk policies, or lack thereof. But we can’t. If we were members of that Corporate Organization, we’d be able to profit hugely as did the major corporate stakeholders from all that irresponsible unprotected risk. But we didn’t. Those trillions go into other pockets. We’re not members of that Corporate Organization, yet we are paying their dues for them.

Additionally, major corporations made very risky choices which ended in financial disaster and, of course, with their utter ruin zero consequences. Zero for the major institutions, that is. For you and me (we’re the “public” of “public interest”, see last place in Federal Reserve priority, next paragraph), we foot the bill. All those dollars that are printed have a consequence. For.the.public. That’s right, the actual members of the Corporate Organization that we are unwittingly funding via a tax imposed by the unelected Federal Reserve face zero consequences for their costly, criminal negligence. The Federal Reserve bailed them out, with our money. And we get nothing to show for it, other that signaling a green light to all other corporations with similar setups to carry on, no worries.

Second, let’s look at who is forcing us to pay the Corporate Organization’s dues. The Federal Reserve, that small group of UNELECTED people that CAN’T be fired (translation: ultimate power with zero accountability). Per their website, the Federal Reserve is to “promote the effective operation of the U.S. economy and, more generally, the public interest”. (Oooh, “effective operations” & “public interest”, how delightfully vague) Notice what gets priority: “effective operation of the US economy”, with “public interest” coming in a poor 2nd place. In the words of the immortal Ricky Bobby, “If you ain’t first, you’re last”. The so-called US Economy is more important than the public.

And news flash: first of all, the US economy is NOT the US government. 2nd of all, the US economy is NOT the Corporate Organization. This tax imposed by an unelected body is being paid to an organization you’re not a member of AND it’s even outside of their self-defined purview.

Taxation without representation. Ring a bell? That used to be a problem, once upon a time.

It’s not just a problem for the citizens of the US. And as the main reserve currency and with the insane amount of US debt, this affects the entire wold. But why don’t those holding US debt speak up? Because they’re complicit and/or under the thumb via Central Banks and World Bank loans. Only El Salvador has started breaking out of this slavery.
