This economic catastrophe was engineered for a purpose
by Dick Eastman

This economic catastrophe was engineered to, among other things, force new deregulation of the domestic financial system -- allowing the international investment bankers like the Rothschilds to buy up our commercial banks.
In a vicious circle symphony critical economic variables are collapsing together -- investors are selling stocks and buying oil futures because they expect higher oil prices and they know the effect of those prices on the demand for products of all other industries. The know they are driving up future oil prices so high that any other investment in any business that depends on the consumer dollar, is going to fail because the consumer dollar is all going to food and oil while consumer income is being decimated by loss of jobs and business failures due to lack of purchasing power left over for anything else.
They are also buying agricultural commodities, buying Swiss Francs (the Franc is a currency backed by a population that makes its money from finance, not production), buying treasury securities with the imagined safety and security of the backing by US taxing power and privitizable public assets), and buying the land and buildings and roads owned by the distressed states, cities and citizens -- everything of value that desperate Americans unable to meet their obligations are now being forced to sell everything of value or losing it to foreclosure. In an economic environment like this assets are not destroyed -- they just change hands. Stop and look at what is really happening here.
The investors have been stampeded into selling their shares of corporations. The great herd of investors are selling at low prices.and everyone is talking about that. But who is doing the buying at these low prices? No one is talking about that. And people are not able to make their payments to banks. Those few who had money to save now are withdrawing -- forcing the commercial banking system total failure mode. And who profits from this?
Outside the commercial banking system that is failing is the international investment banking system (the Rothschilds, Rockefellers and other merchant banking houses) which is not at all distressed, which is making great amounts of money lending to the US government under the direction of Nancy Pelosi and the other war spenders in Congress. Those in this international loop have plenty of money to buy assets that distressed Americans are selling or being evicted from.
Which brings us to the point. The distressed banks are a synthetic problem engineered by the investment bankers so they could buy up America for a song. And the biggest prize is the purchase of the US commercial banking system, previously off limits to international investment bankers. The Fed, with its equivalent of "executive orders" and Nancy Pelosi (tool of AIPAC, which is the Rothschilds' agents in America) and company to smooth the way with accommodating legislation.
In the panic no one will put up a fight. All of the regulatory protection our wiser grandparents and great grandparents put into place to protect us are now to be torn away -- just as planned -- and there will no longer be a domestic banking system. It is not the financial sector that is collapsing -- it is the American peoples loop of the financial sector -- it is the financial sector that the Rothschilds have hitherto not owned and controlled.
And so the economic disaster was engineered to to force new deregulation -- allowing Rothschilds to buy up our commercial banks.
I suggest that this is a good time to rebel.
But knowing how you responded when told that 9-11 was a Rothschild-Rockefeller false-flag operation, that major weather is being controlled by the same great interests, that both world wars and the great depression, the cold war and all economic crises from the German hyperinflation of the early 1920s to the S & L scandal, the collapse of Mexico and the Asian economic tigers are all the work of Zionist bankers in cahoots with the the Chinese princelings who have been allied with them since the opium wars (I'm talking about Zhou Enlai) and secretly allied with the Rothschild's Zionist Israel since both criminal states were created at the the same time almost 60 years ago -- there is little hope that you will perk up your ears and do something now -- but if you should want to do something and don't know what -- may I suggest you dump all thoughts of Ron Paul and Barrak Obama and Hillary Clinton and John McCain and Bob Barr and vote for the one man who would end this long season of Rothschild economic terrorism.
I said that this is time to rebel. Yes, I am asking you once more to get with me in lifting up Lt. Col. Robert Bowman for president -- it is imperative that we draft him as the people's real choice for President and to hell with parties and primaries -- let every citizen of every voting precinct demonstrate that they are for Dr. Bowman, let us have mass demonstrations in every state capital until he is on the ballot Thee American people can accept no one else from this crooked and rigged candidate selection system which is just one more American asset now owned and operated by the Rothschild interests. Every candidate is owned by the Rothschilds through their agents -- AIPAC, the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergs -- even the Rockefellers themselves serve the Rothschild interests. I say draft Bob Bowman for president. It is the only thing I can suggest. No other course of action will do any good. Taking no action at all will lead to a future even worse than your current pessimism imagines.
WHo is with me?

Dick, I agree absolutely that the economic crisis has been deliberately engineered to produce the maximum disruption to the economies of nations wordwide The resulting miseries of peoples worldwide will be the weapon used to programme us all to accept the One World Govt. with completely centralised financial control, in the hands of the biggest megalomaniacs in the history of the world.
As you know, it is NOT about maximising their profits, except as an instrument to total power. The idiots in the USA, Britain, and Europe will be quite happy to eventually live in 'security" as slaves,
surrendering all resposibility into the hands of "Semitic" masters. Wouldn't it be a just result if Russia/China/Japan were to turn out to be our salvation!!?

Populism Unleashed or How I Killed the Plutocracy
by Dick Eastman
First, here is the revised populist agenda. (Scroll down if you have already seen this.) :
1. Government should get out of the war on terror business (9-11 was a false-flag operation)
2. The US should pull out of Iraq and Afganistan immediately -- and effectively switching sides in foreign policy with respect to puppet states we have set up
3. The money supply (money and credit) should be taken out of the control of private foreign bankers and become the exclusive provenance of the US Treasury
3. Anti-trust should be applied to the monopoly media
4. The income tax (tax on being productive) should be eliminated (as it was prior to 1913) -- tarrifs on imports should be the major source of Federal Revenues (to stimulate -- ressurrect -- home production -- and smaller government)
5. A wealth tax should be imposed on fortunes above 60 million dollars, steeply progressive to completely eliminate billionaires
6. Israel apartheid should be condemned and Zionism eliminated from foreign policy objectives
7. The US should take steps to balance the budget and end the imbalance of foreign trade and encourage production at home
8. Control of education should be returned to local school boards
9. The special power of corporations as legal "persons" should be repealed
10. Not the stock market or "fighting inflation" (keeping bond prices high), but the standard of living (quality of life) across the entire population now and in the future should be the primary purpose, criteria and focus of government.
11. US Senators should once again be selected by State Legislatures (as was done before 1913) so that they are not so easily bought and so they are better qualified
12. Presidents should -- as the Founding Fathers originally conceived -- be selected by electors chosen by the people -- not by political parties -- the electors selected by petition to be put on an "elector" ballot and voted for every four years -- all electors non-partisan.
13. Prisons should be reformatories, not colleges for crime and places where prisoners are buggered by bullies. And the drug addicts should be released as the new drug program is introduced (see above, and below)
14. Banks should be limited to individual states with no out-of-state holding companies allowed.
Hi Dick: I like your quiz, brief and to the point. -- Wayne Blanchard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A liberatarian group has devised its own political orientation test to determine where individuals fit on a two-dimensional political-ideology graph with "Right-Conservative"versus "Left-liberal" along the x-axis, and "Libertarian" versus "Statist" on the y-axis and "centerist" being those found near the origin (near the (0,0) point)
but this graph neglects the crucial third dimension -- it makes no provision for a z-axis of "Populist versus Pro-Oligarcy" (see my defining populist issues above)
-- the missing and all-important "third dimension." At any rate, here are their two-dimensional test questions (and my populist answers to them - with additional comments by Peter Wakefield Sault (in the UK) and my responses to Peter's comments:
[Let the following demonstrate why progressive populist Bob Bowman and not Anarcho-Capitalist Bob Barr is the man we need. --DE 6/27/08]
Personal Issues:
1. True or False: Government should not censor speech, press, media or Internernet
DE: False. Censor porn, not political speech.
PWS: For adult audiences, where do you draw the line between art and porn? E.g. what is Michelangelo's 'David'? Perhaps it should be decided on an item by item basis, by jurists.
DE: If it is meant to be consumed with masturbation it is pornography. Pornography consumed in this way conditions sexual predispositions and behavior -- with sadistic or fetishistic or child porn it creates social deviance. The states -- state courts should decide. Pornographic art no matter how creative and expressive should be banned from society. Let authors know they cannot produce social poison and they will leave it out of their art. The same applies to Texas Chain Saw Massacre horror and organized crime movies. If Hollywood can't get out of its horror-organized crime - sexual deviance rut than it will be time to fine them out of existence and start over with all new artists and film culture.
2. True or False: Military service should be voluntary. There should be no draft
DE: True -- sufficient pay and simple love-of-country and use of military only for REAL national defense should be enough to keep the ranks full.
PWS: There should be no armies and no weapons of war. If there were no nations and no religions then who would need an army anyway?
DE: Military power should exist just to the level to deter aggression against us -- not to impose our capitalists on the rest of the world. When our government -- and other governments of the world -- rein in bankers and corporations that profit from war the level of this defense would be safely kept quite low -- right now the US is vulnerable to subversion and conquest by international creditor interests
3. True or False: There should be no laws regarding sex for consenting adults
DE: False -- keep ALL sex in the closet -- and away from children. The state must protect its future generations by protecting its children. Leave it to the states to create these laws.
PWS: Sex offenders (pedophiles, rapists etc.) and women who have either had induced abortions or have used cocaine should be sterilised and/or castrated. (Cocaine use by women causes their children to develop psychopathy later in life - this is now proven. It causes brain damage in fetuses which leads to that condition. Pedophilia has also been shown to develop as a consequence of damage to the frontal area of the brain, as by tumours etc. - so it is in some cases medically treatable. Naturally this does not cover ALL pedophilia.)
DE: While abortion is the killing of a genetically complete living human being -- and has killed off much of the generation that should now be producing national output nd paying taxes (supporting our ageing population etc.) today -- forced sterilization is worse-than-horrible totalitarian intrusion which no government should have the power to do -- sterilization should always be voluntary. Cocaine and alcohol are death on families and the good of society -- outlawing drugs and alcohol always provides big profits for black market organized crime -- The populist would outlaw the public selling of cocaine -- but allow that all registered addicts be allowed to by very very cheap cocaine from the government to destroy the organized crime element.
4. True or False: Repeal laws prohibiting adult possession and use of drugs
DE: yes -- outlaw salse but not possession to take the profit out of it for organized crime -- with those profits the drug money power runs the world -- let the government supply extremely cheap at-cost drugs to addicts
PWS: Tobacco and alcohol use should be legal? I think not. But your point is, however, correct - illegality benefits only criminals. It is a real conundrum with no simple answer. My solution is to provide new adults (i.e. 21-year-olds) with 'licenses' to use drugs - licenses which can be revoked if the user engages in harming themselves or others as a consequence of irresponsible usage. Drunk drivers etc. should have their license to drink revoked, not merely their license to drive (as well as being punished by gaol, fines etc. as appropriate)
DE: I say that giving licesnses for drug use to new adults is like sex education -- it is a subtle push to vice. Keep drugs out of society -- out of mind -- but those who are addicted let them quietly be provided with their drug by the government -- selling should be the crime -- addiction should be considered a sickness - a plague that must be treated with compassion for the victims -- but not expensive government programs to provide "counseling or psycological services or social workers -- which does not work and creates a corrupt industry and interest group that is far from helpful) States, counties, townships should be allowed to vote prohibition if they want to -- and the penalty for bootlegging from state to state or county to country should not be too severe -- the little free-lance bootleggers will keep out big organized crime by the competition -- but there should be no national prohibition law.
5. True or False: There should be no National ID card
DE: Maybe -- can't make up my mind -- people should have nothing to hide -- but what good purpose would it serve that the present system does not serve?
PWS: There should be no nations. I know that you, like many others, have been seduced by nationalism and propagandised into believing that 'globalism' is evil. That is how the Jews exert control over you and all the nations, apparently without you even knowing it. There should be ONE currency for all the world, removing the banks ability to 'tax' currency exchange. There should be uniform taxation (if any) for all people. There should be absolute freedom of movement (naturally there are exceptions, such as carriers of infectious diseases and criminals). There should be global anti-pollution laws that cannot be evaded by moving a dirty operation across a border into some country where the pols are more easily bribed.
DE: Nation states are associated with exploitation of majorities by ruling minorities -- but intelligent solutions exist if we can find them (look on this page) and persuade the pulbic of the reforms that are needed (distribute this page). Globalism is evil. It allows neither democracy nor republic-style representation -- it is rule by billionaire merchant bankers and their hired brains and instrumentalities (NGO's, World Bank, IMF, etc.) -- There is no problem with multiple national currencies in a rational system where currencies rise or fall in currency markets against gold or against other currencies. Each government of each nation should have total control over the supply of its own currency -- taking the natural consequences of inflation and deflation and balance of payments and strength of the dollar as "market (reality) discipline" -- but guarding by regulation the depradations of international currency traders etc.
"Economic Issues"
1. True or False: End "corporate welfare." No government handouts to business
DE: True. Handouts no, corporations as legal persons should be eliminated -- break them up into small privately owned companies -- develop a tax structure that encourages jobs and business starts -- restructure the financial system so that capital is not sent abroad but is made available to our own domestic entrepreneurs -- restoring the land of opportunity.
PWS: Double-talk. The only encouragement needed is the possibility of profit. What should be removed is financial inheritance (i.e. I am not proposing to take anyone's property inheritance, such as their late mother's house.) Corporations should not have human rights, let alone superhuman rights. All ultimate human owners should be properly and publicly identified - no proxies and no holding companies.
DE: Can't add anything to this. Yes, inheritance tax should also reduce overly great fortunes in addition to the effect of the wealth tax. Small family businesses -- up to a certain size -- should be free of inheritance tax -- something like a homestead act should be devised for small businesses and family farms.
2. True or False: End government barriers to international free trade
DE: no -- we must regulate international commerce, especially capital and labor flows across boarders
PWS: Repeat - there should be no national borders anyway.
DE: Repeat. The sovereign nation state is the only instrumentality for government in the public interest. A world government must be a world oligarchy where people count as nothing. People have been ill-served by always "corrupt" (self-serving exploitive minority rule) government -- but the remedy is to be found in Jeffersonian checks and balances, not a super-government with no representation.
3. True or False: Let people control their own retirement; privatize Social Security (hell
DE: no. Let the government pension remain a government pension -- people can invest on their own. Don't mix the two with forced investment/speculation on the stock market)
PWS: Everyone should be cared for in their old age - proper shelter, food, clothing and healthcare as a minimum. As should the disabled and incapacitated at any age. Globally.
DE: We have a federal social security and medicare program in the US. All other minamum assistance should be from the states. The real goal is that every family make an income big enough to provide for old-aged needs -- saving for ones own old-age or having enough to support a parent beyond social security and medicare. There should also be room for private charity. Populism is not socialism -- populism makes social welfare unnecessary because it abolishes poverty by improving the economic and social environment.
4. True or False: Cut taxes and government spending by 50% or more
DE: no -- where government belongs do not cut, where government does not belong eliminate 100 percent. If all taxes exceed 25 percent of income that is too much. We will eliminate much of the interest that government has to pay by arresting the financiers to whom the money is owned and charging them with crimes against humanity -- their debts will be cancelled in penalty.
PWS: What exactly is the contemporary purpose of taxation?
DE: The contemporary purpose is for the ruling minority to take tribute from the subjugated majority and to fund the apparatus of minority-rule coercion. In the U.S. we no longer vote the money at the same time that they vote a government project or service -- rather they just vote the political pork without consideration of cost -- and vote the "appropriations" seperately -- it is a very irresponsible and corrupt system and it shows the true nature of the game. But there are legitimate public goods that the government provides its people -- sound money, regulation of interstate commerce, post office, control of boarders, social security, medicare, defense, projects like dams and highway system, regulation of air traffic and air waves, anti-trust etc.

The Politics of Plutocracy
In his book "Wealth and Democracy," Kevin Phillips provides a table titled "Millennial Plutographics" which presents the compensation of America's 10 most highly paid C.E.O.'s in 1981, 1988 and 2000.
- In 1981 those captains of industry were paid an average of $3.5 million, which seemed like a lot at the time.
- By 1988 the average had soared to $19.3 million, which seemed outrageous.
- But by 2000 the average annual pay of the top 10 was $154 million.
It's true that wages of ordinary workers roughly doubled over the same period, though the bulk of that gain was eaten up by inflation. But earnings of top executives rose 4,300 percent! What great increase in CEO productivity or CEO scarcity accounted for this increase in CEO market price? Why the fall in the relative market value of American CEOs and the producivity and time of everyone else?
And remember, this is income, not wealth -- it is the inflow of rivers into the ocean not the size of the ocean -- wealth of course is infinitatly scewed since most Americans are deep in debt and the ruling minority own the capital and land of the nation and all of the IOU's of our national and private debt.
Caneisha Mills writes:
Does hard work really lead to riches and success? Two recent headlines point to a very different reality.
A Sept. 1 Associated Press article leads, “Americans most productive workers.” Days earlier, on Aug. 27, an AP headline declared, “Ranks of poor, uninsured rose in 2003.”
How can it be that U.S. workers are the most productive, working harder than ever, and at the same time we are being driven into poverty?
The first article is based on a survey by the UN’s International Labor Organization that found that output per worker in the United States is $60,728 per year. The closest competitor in this category was Belgium, with $54,333 per worker per year, nearly 10 percent below the U.S. The study also found that U.S. workers work more hours than their European counterparts, averaging 1,825 hours in 2002.
The second article is based on a Census Bureau study showing that the number of people living in poverty had increased by 1.3 million in 2003, to 35.8 million people. The number of people without health insurance grew by 1.4 million during the same period, to nearly 45 million people.
Workers are working harder. They are more productive. And yet for millions—for the majority—the standard of living is dropping.
Growing misery
According to the new statistics, about 12.5 percent of the population lives in poverty. That in itself is staggering—one out of every eight people in the U.S. But a look at the definition of the poverty line makes the picture even worse.
According to the U.S. Census in 2000, an individual earning over $8,959 does not live in poverty. But the average rent in 2000 was $602 a month—$7,224 a year. That leaves about $33 a week for all other expenses: food, clothing, transportation and any other expense one might incur. This is obviously unrealistic. The figures for families are no rosier.
A closer look at the statistics makes the reality even grimmer. For example, approximately 800,000 of the 1.3 million people driven into poverty in 2003 were children, the Census Bureau reported.
So it should be no surprise that infant mortality—the number of children dying before their first birthday—soared 8 percent in New York City in 2003. In some predominantly African American and Latino neighborhoods like Fort Greene in Brooklyn and Tremont in the Bronx, the infant mortality rate stood at close to 150 percent of the national average.
A major cause of the growing misery affecting millions of U.S. workers is unemployment. Officially, 8 million people were counted as being unemployed in the U.S. in August 2004—a rate of 5.4 percent (1). But that only represents part of the story.
The official statistics are based on the number of people employed or looking for work. Writing in the Sept. 6 Newsday, employment advocate Robert Walker writes, “75.7 million adults, 16 years or older, are not in the labor force (not actively looking for jobs in the past month).” (2) The vast majority of these people are not being counted in the “official” unemployment percentile.
Walker paints a grim portrait. “Half of the adult population is working less than full-time or not working at all,” he writes.
Are these statistics an accident? Is the working class being driven into poverty, even though we are working harder? Is this a coincidence, or is a real life lesson or fact being revealed? Are escalating unemployment and poverty—coupled with various other problems for the working class—linked to the rise in productivity profits for the bosses?
For an amazing graphical picture of how income (remember this is income, not wealth which is much more skewed!) is distributed in the U.S., consider the "The L-Curve": Tour of the US Income Distribution http://www.lcurve.org/ in which:
The US population is represented along the length of the football field, arranged in order of income.
Median US family income (the family at the 50 yard line) is ~$40,000 (a stack of $100 bills 1.6 inches high.)
--The family on the 95 yard line earns about $100,000 per year, a stack of $100 bills about 4 inches high.
--At the 99 yard line the income is about $300,000, a stack of $100 bills about a foot high.
--The curve reaches $1 million (a 40 inch high stack of $100 bills) one foot from the goal line.
--From there it keeps going up...it goes up 50 km (~30 miles) on this scale!
That represents an estimated $50 billion increase in Bill Gate's net worth in one year!
Amazing!
The L-Curve graph represents income, not wealth. The distribution of wealth is even more skewed.
Quoting from a recently-published book by political philosopher David Schweickart,
If we divided the income of the US into thirds, we find that the top ten percent of the population gets a third, the next thirty percent gets another third, and the bottom sixty percent get the last third.
If we divide the wealth of the US into thirds, we find that the top one percent own a third,
the next nine percent own another third, and the bottom ninety percent claim the rest.
(Actually, these percentages, true a decade ago, are now out of date. The top one percent are now estimated to own between forty and fifty percent of the nation's wealth, more than the combined wealth of the bottom 95%.)
...
As one correspondent put it, there is a "money spike" and there is a "population spike". There are two classes in this country.
One class derives concentrated power from its concentrated wealth. The other class has power only in numbers. That power is effective only to the extent that it can be mobilized through organization.
Until we come to terms with these issues, phrases such as, "We the people...," and, "of the people, by the people, and for the people," are hollow clichés.
