AMERICA DEFINED

Conundrum  

 

Free people are not equal.  Equal people are not free.   (Think this one over and over…makes sense!)       
  
"A gun is like a parachute.  If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."   
  
The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.   
  
    Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United                                                          States of America:      

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.       
  
2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.       
  
3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.       
  
4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.       
  
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.       
  
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.       
  
Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.       Makes you wonder who is doing the math.       
  
These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:       
  
1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.       
  
Funny how that works.  And here's another one worth considering…       
  
2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money.  But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money   !       What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.       
  
Think about it.....and Last but not least   :       
  
3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII,   but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.   
  
Am I the only one missing something?

YOU WEREN'T GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS LADY WERE YOU?

LOOK THESE UP IN THE BOOKS AND PAGE NUMBERS CITED IF YOU WISH.

EIGHT QUOTES FROM DIFFERENT BOOKS

Her actual words:

1) "Where is the God damn flag? I want the God damn fucking flag up every morning at fucking sunrise". Hillary to staff at the Arkansas Governor's mansion on Labor Day 1991. From the book "Inside the White House" by Ronald Kessler, p. 244

(2)  “Fuck off!  It's enough I have to see you shit-kickers every day! I'm not going to talk to you, too!  Just do your Goddamn job and keep your mouth shut."  Hillary to her State Trooper bodyguards after one of them greeted her with "Good Morning." From the book "America Evita" by Christopher Anderson, p.90

(3)  "If you want to remain on this detail, get your fucking ass over here and grab those bags!" Hillary to a Secret Service Agent who was reluctant to carry her luggage because he wanted to keep his hands free in case of an incident. From the book "The First Partner" p. 25

(4) "Stay the fuck back, stay the fuck back away from me! Don't come within ten yards of me, or else! Just fucking do as I say, Okay!!?"  Hillary screaming at her Secret Service detail. From the book "Unlimited Access" by Clinton ’s FBI Agent-in-Charge, Gary Aldridge, p.139

(5) "Where's the miserable cock sucker?" (otherwise known as “Bill  Clinton”) Hillary shouting at a Secret Service officer. From the book "The Truth about Hillary" by Edward Klein, p. 5

(6) "You fucking idiot" Hillary to a State Trooper  who was driving her to an event. From the book "Crossfire" ~pg.  84

(7) "Put this on the ground! I left my sunglasses in the limo.  I need those fucking sunglasses!  We need to go back! Hillary to Marine One helicopter pilot to turn back while in route to Air Force One. From the book " Dereliction of Duty" p. 71-72

(8) "Come on Bill, put your dick up! You can't fuck her here!!" Hillary to Gov. Bill Clinton when she spots him talking with an attractive female. From the book "Inside the White House" by Ronald Kessler, p. 243

There it is ........book, chapter and page.......the real Hillary

Additionally, when she walked around the White House, NO ONE was permitted to look her in the eye, they all had to lower their heads with their eyes towards the ground whenever she walked by. Clearly she is a class act—NOT!

This ill-tempered, violent, loud-mouth, hateful and abusive woman wants to be your next President, and have total control as Commander in Chief of  our Military, the very Military for which she has shown incredible disdain throughout her public life .

Remember her most vile comment about Benghazi : “what difference at this point does it make?”

Now it will be clear why the crew of "Marine One" helicopter nick-named the craft, "Broomstick ONE

Financial Collapse !!!

July 1, 2015
Singapore

Yesterday over coffee, a friend of mine leaked the news that JP Morgan’s private banking division here in Singapore is going to start charging negative interest rates.

I almost fell out of my chair.


He’s a successful hedge fund manager and one of their best customers. So when he received the notice, he rang up his private banker and demanded to know why.

Between ridiculously low interest rates (banks are closing loans here for 0.9% or lower) and the increasing costs of compliance, “we can’t make money anymore...” was the response.


It certainly paints a clear picture of how screwed up the entire financial system is.

Compliance is a major component in this. Bankers around the world are buried up to their eyeballs in paperwork and regulations now.


They can’t make a move or approve a single transaction without first doing anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, and tax evasion due diligence.


Imagine it like this: your banker rings you up tomorrow and says, “The government of China requires us to have all of our depositors fill out this paperwork. So I need you to send this form back to me ASAP…”


You’d probably think it was a joke.



Or at a minimum think, “Wait, what? I’m not Chinese. You’re not a Chinese bank. Who cares about some stupid Chinese regulation?”



And you’d be right.



Except that’s precisely what the United States is doing right now.



All over the world, bankers are contacting their customers and forcing them to fill out paperwork to comply with idiotic US government regulations. Even when there’s no connection to the US.


Here in Singapore, the bankers are completely miserable about it.



They’re so angry for having to call customers and say, “Yes I know you’re in India, and I know we’re in Singapore, and I know you’ve been a customer for 10 years. But you still have to fill out this US government form or else we’ll close your account.”



It’s ridiculous-- all of this because the US government is bankrupt.



A few years ago they passed the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)-- a major part of their crusade to stamp out tax evasion and bring in more tax revenue.

FATCA is now in full force. Banks all over the world have been forced to enter into information sharing agreements with the IRS, meaning that they have to report on all of their customers and force them to fill out meaningless forms.



Needless to say, this costs a lot of money.



If you own a business, you can just imagine how frustrating and expensive it would be to have your employees toil away on senseless paperwork instead of... you know, doing real business.



The US government tells us that all of these disclosure programs have brought in about $6.5 billion in tax revenue.



Yet the costs of compliance are estimated to cost at least $8 billion, with some estimates over 10x higher.



Now that’s a neat trick. Uncle Sam gets the money and passes off the costs to everyone else.



And those who don’t comply with America’s rules are destroyed.



The most blatant example of this was last year, when a French bank was fined $9 billion for doing business with countries that Uncle Sam didn’t like.



Bear in mind, this was a French bank, not an American bank.



They violated no French laws. Yet they had to pay the US government $9 billion for doing business with places like Cuba.



(Ironically, Cuba is now BFFs with the United States, but it’s not like the bank is going to get a refund.)



More recently, the US government destroyed an Andorran bank that was accused of weak anti-money laundering controls.



And a few years ago they took down the oldest private bank in Switzerland.

Every bank in the world has seen these incidents, and they’re scared. They could be next.



And that’s why you can’t get a single financial transaction done anymore without first submitting a mountain of paperwork to prove that you’re not a terrorist. Or financing terrorists. Or laundering money. Or doing business with the Axis of Evil.



Even outside of banking it has become utterly ridiculous.



A friend of mine here runs one of the largest bullion depositories in Singapore; he wanted to buy some raw gold and have it made into bars, so he contacted a refiner.



The refiner said, “Sure no problem. I just need you to send us some compliance documentation before we get started.”



Then he sent a list of no fewer than 22 items that he needed to submit-- copies of licenses, passports, certificates, etc.



22 items. Just to have a refiner make some gold bars. Ridiculous.



So obviously they’re not going to waste their time. Which means there’s some business that could have been done, but won’t, simply because of the compliance costs.



The US government has really screwed the world on this. Paperwork is the priority. Not business.



And all because America is bankrupt.



This trip to Singapore has been very eye-opening for me as I’m just now starting to understand how much people within the financial system despise the US government.



They feel like they’re being forced at gunpoint to be volunteer spies and tax collectors, simply because US politicians have been financially irresponsible.



And to me, it’s the biggest sign yet that America’s financial dominance is coming to an end. They’ve essentially engineered it themselves by alienating the whole world.



The transition isn’t going to be smooth. And it won’t happen overnight. But there will come a time, and likely soon, when the United States gets displaced.



And the rest of the world can hardly wait.

Until tomorrow,

BUNDY RANCH WATER RIGHTS AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT...

Friends, I have made a short video for you.  Please watch, it will help you better understand what is happening in Nevada right now.

Sacred Nevada Water Watch Video on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfFZTdBq-Xc Do Nevada legislators support the federal take over of Nevadans water rights, or are they just ignorant to the facts that the waters are being stolen from the Nevada people? Yesterday in a late assembly floor session, Jim Wheeler stood in testimony against AB408. AB408 was a bill that made it illegal for the federal government to own water rights in Nevada.  Jim Wheeler testified that AB408 was messing with Nevada water laws and that water was too sacred in Nevada to be doing this. So this question is in order. If legislators such as Jim Wheel, Robin Titus and Chris Edwards are so concerned about Nevada's water, then why do they support the federal government in stealing thousands of water rights from the people of Nevada? To help bring some light to this bloody massacre of individual water rights in the west, let me explain. The Nevada Division of Water Resources maintains a water rights registry where all of the deeds to Nevada water rights are listed.  You can view the actual deed, see who originally established them and see who owns them now. Most water rights were created by our pioneers who established the rights by being the first to beneficially use the water.  In 1880 the State of Nevada created the water right registry and made it possible for our pioneers to file their rights with the state. Common law in Nevada and most other states make it so that in order to hold on to water rights you have to prove that you are putting the water to beneficial use. If you fail to use them, someone else may prove beneficial use and the right becomes theirs. This good law keeps an individual or a corporation from hoarding water and not allowing people to benefit from it. So this is where our un-recognizable federal government comes in. Knowing that water is a limited resource and one that will warrant wealth and power (especially in the future), desiring that power for themselves.  The federal government began a campaign against the citizens of the Western States to steal away their water rights. All they have to do to accomplish this, is get those that own the water rights to stop using them. Once the owner stops using them, then they can file up on the right and make it theirs.  You may be asking yourself has this really ever happened? In Nevada alone the BLM has done this 2715 times, the U.S. Forest Service has done it 2313 times, the Department of Interior has done it 26 times, and the National Park Service has done this 14 times. Those 4 federal entities in total have stolen 5068 water rights from individuals in Nevada alone. With supposed power to regulate people off the lands, the federal government restricts ranchers, miners, loggers and many other land users from the use of the lands and therefore the waters. They then use the states own registries to file claim on these peoples rights due to the lack of use. In some cases these federal agencies have later leased or rented the water and other rights back to the very families that they stole it from.  Making the family pay a fee to use what these federal agencies claim as "their right". In other cases the federal government have forced the water rights owners to give up claim of the water in order to continue to use the land.  There are several other adverse ways in which these agencies have manipulated the resources away from families that have established these rights thought hard word and much suffering. Time will not allow for me to explain all of them, needless to say our federal government is in business for themselves and not for the people. You may recall a year ago I was tazered three times for protesting a convoy of federal agents. Around 34 over aggressive federal agents in 13 armed vehicles were escorting a BLM dump truck pulling a backhoe, they had just come off the mountain range on the Bundy ranch.  These federal agents were trying to keep the protesters from seeing what was in the dump truck. Coming from behind I sacrificed my ATV by driving in front of the dump truck. After the initial crunch I calmly stepped off and demanded to know what they were doing in our mountains with that backhoe. After experiencing a dog attack and a 50,000 volt doubled barbed shock of my life, three times in a row.  I kept my strength and crawled upon the dump truck to see what was in the back. What I saw was even more shocking to me than a taser. They were up in the mountain tearing out the water infrastructure my family and others had established over a hundred ago. Pipes, concrete, cut up water, tanks and so on is what I saw. As you may have put together, they were after my fathers water rights. He owns 11 of them, they are deeded to him and filed in the state water registry. If the feds could remove the cattle (which they tried, killing around 60 head).  Then destroy any way to use the waters,making it impossible for may dad to claim beneficial use. All they would have to do after that, is claim those waters for themselves, the same way they stole the other 5068 water rights in Nevada. You may also find it interesting that grazing rights in Nevada are deeded with stock-water rights. Destroying the Bundy's waters was killing two birds with one stone in the eyes of our so called federal government. Now we have come full circle. AB408 was drafted to restored the water rights back to the people and preventing these grievous actions from happening again.  So why would Jim Wheeler, Robin Titus and our very own representative Chris Edwards fight against this?  I hope it is out of ignorance, I hope it was simply because they are disconnected with what is really happening in the state.  I hope they just simply do not realize how the people of this state are suffering. After being up in Carson City, Nevada's capital for much longer than I wanted and experiencing what I did, I am left to wonder. Ammon Bundy I would like to personally thank the over 14,300 acting supporters of this bill.  And also the hundreds of thousands that have been keeping an eye on my family.

URGENT FOOD SUPPLY SOLUTIONS...

Sam cotton, Commissioner

Alaska Department of Fish and Game

P.O. Box 115526

1255 W. 8th Street Juneau, AK 99811-5526

Dear Sir:

            In future centuries historians may declare us insane!

About ten percent of the Amazon Basin contains soils called black earth or Terra Preta soils that are known to be self-regenerating. They typically found in plots of 20 hectors, but sometimes will cover areas as large as 350 hectors. At every level they contain pottery shards and broken pieces of ceramic. For this reason they are thought to be manmade approximately 11,000 years ago. The total area containing Terra Preta is estimated to cover an area the size of France.

Unlike other soils that have to remain fallow for long periods to regenerate Terra Preta soils grow cops larger and faster in a shorter period of time without need of fertilizer and the land can be better utilized. Tera Preta’s fame has grown to where it is mined and sold as potting soil. If you are a farmer living off the land this kind of soil can make the difference between prosperity and famine.

No one knows how or what is in these soils that allow them to regenerate except that a single gram contains charred carbon residue and as much as 10,000 individual species. According to William Woods, soils scientist and geology professor at the University of Illinois, Terra Preta contains billions of organisms.

My point is, we are seeing the devolution of a species. America has devolved to the point where we will be unable to feed ourselves in a decade. Water shortages in California and other states along with tornadoes and severe storms have made many farming areas impossible to farm. Most all the soils are depleted and completely devoid of minerals. We are all sick from lack of minerals in our diet and other causes such as insecticide, GM foods which are insecticides, plastics and chemical fertilizers. Our government has created an entire industry around treating the sick.

Alaska has its own unique problems in that it is difficult if not impossible to grow enough food here to feed its population. Two missed shipments of food into Anchorage and you will see long lines of people fighting over empty supermarket shelves.

The 22-million pounds Cook Inlet and Kodiak king crab fishery is gone. The millions of pounds of king crab, tanner crab, shrimp and halibut have been exterminated by oil tanker ballast water, eight oil well blowouts and other pollution such as the 20-million gallon a day sewage discharges from the Cities of Anchorage, Palmer, Wasilla and Talketna. (See enclosed article.)

Now we have hundreds of outboard motors (some boats running two 250-hp motors) running up and down the Kenai River during the peak of the salmon runs. All of these motors discharge carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into the river water. Water readily absorbs these poison gases and they displace the oxygen in the water making it impossible for the fish to breathe. The high horsepower motors stir up the sediments on the river bottom further displacing the oxygen in the water and coating the gills of the fish with decaying mud making it even more difficult for them to take in oxygen. The high horsepower motors erode the banks further putting more mud into the water coating the gills of the fish with mud.

Salmon now have to travel at least six miles upstream at one mile per hour breathing polluted water. We don’t know what that effect will have on future generations as the salmon may be weakened from lack of oxygen to where they will be unable to make it all the way upstream to spawn and the eggs may be polluted with carbon monoxide and other chemicals.  

I am not against the dip-net fishery. People need fish and can dip-net fish from the banks of the river or using row dories equipped with electric trolling motors like the sport drift fishermen in the Kasilof River and other rivers will not harm the fish as much. Then there is the safety factor. High power boats create huge waves making it uncomfortable for everyone on the water. I witnessed two skiffs overturn in the Kenai River last summer. One woman wearing a life vest floated down the river a quarter of a mile before someone could lift her out of the cold water. It’s amazing that no one has lost their life due to wake turbulence in the river.

The invention of the Lithium battery makes electric outboards more practical. I am seriously considering buying one for my set net operation on the west side of Cook Inlet. Using electric motors does not stir up as much sediment and there is zero discharge of toxic gas into the water. It is much benign. FYI there are electric motors on the market in Australia and Mercury, Suzuki, Yahama, and Evenrude are all developing electric outboard motors.      

            Please pass this on to the Board of Fish. I hope that they will eliminate all gasoline powered outboards discharging exhaust gasses in the rivers except for the four cannery skiffs and one emergency boat.

  

            I am seriously considering going to electric outboard motors for my set-net operation on the west side of Cook Inlet if this administration will let me continue to fish.

Sincerely,

Henry Kroll     www.GuardDogBooks.com
