t has been a hard battlejust to write. We tend tothink that we live in acountry that is free and wehave all these rights. Nothingcould be further from thetruth. For you see, theyturned the constitutionupside down. Instead of youhaving rights, you have toprove they exist. Thegovernment does whateverit damn well pleaseswhenever. It is your burdento prove you have any rightsat all and whatever actionthey then claim violates theconstitution. This is whyTHEY appoint the judges forthey hold the keys toeverything.Perhaps lost in the maze of information was the shockingpublic announcement of theretirement of CFTC JudgeGeorge Painter lastSeptember 2010. Heconfirmed what everybodybehind that curtain reallyknows is going on
it
salways them against thepeople. He wrote:
“ 
There are two administrativelaw judges at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission:myself and the Honorable Bruce
Levine. On Judge Levine’s first 
week on the job, nearly twenty years ago, he came into my office and stated that he had promised Wendy Gramm, thenChairwoman of the Commission,that he would never rule in a
complainant’s favor. A review of his rulings will confirm that 
he
has fulfilled his vow. Judge
Levine, in the cynical guise of enforcing the rules, forces pro secomplainants to run
a
hostileprocedural gauntlet until theylose hope, and either withdrawtheir complaint or settle for apittance, regardless of themerits of the case. See MichaelSchroeder,
 
If You ’ve Got a
Beef With a Futures Broker, This
Judge Isn ’t for You
 
 
In Eight Years at the CF TC, Levine HasNever Ruled in Favor of anInvestor,
Wall 
St. J ., Dec. 13,
2000.” 
 
This is why we are in suchtrouble. Everything is aboutkeeping the game going
 not about making societybetter. Take the currentbudget battle. TheRepublicans demand NPR is
no longer funded. This isn’t
even a tenth of a tenth of atenth of a penny in thescheme of things. It ispolitical because they do not,and have never once,respected any independentreporting. This is no differentthan any other governmenttrying to silence truth. The socalled private press is alwaysat the pleasure of government. Look at PayPal,Visa and MasterCard allstopped sending money to
WikiLeaks
. Who picked upthe phone and told them todo that?This is why everything iscollapsing. There is just nohope because everyone justwants to keep that power. It
I
 
is never about making thingsbetter or saving the future. Itis as if they are raised bydogs. Oh there are alwaysexceptions. There are fewwho are independent. JohnAdler just died. He lost theelection last time because hewas a Democrat. But he trulylost because he wasindependent voting againstthe Party agenda, so whathappened was the
Democrats didn’t like himand wouldn’t support him.
So he lost to the Republican.Adler would not play thegame. He always respondedto my family when otherswould not.
Patrick Henry(1736-1799)
This is the very essence of what
Patrick Henry
Meantwhen he said
“Give meLiberty or give me Death!” 
 Life is just not worth living if we have to live like slaves.Where in the film MATRIXthe machines harnessmankind for energy andcreate a fake world withinwhich they live, we are notmuch better. We live tosupport the state and insteadof energy, we produceincome for them to survive.Yet this is what is breakingapart.Plenty of people havewritten for years about howit will all collapse and socialsecurity will turn to dustwhen the baby-boomersretire. However, there isanother side to this that isperhaps not being closelyfollowed. What is themechanism that will causethe rapid collapse? The crisisis powered by theexponential rise in the costof government. For the samedemographics apply there aswell. There is a mad dashamong federal governmentemployees to now retire. Asthat takes place, they musthire people to replace them.Yes there is the Obama hiringfreeze. But there are plentyof exceptions to that. Sowhat is taking place also atthe state and local levels isthat now they must pay forthe retiring worker and thenew replacement. But thereis no REAL money tuckedaway for the retirementplans promised all theseyears. So the outlays aregoing to rise exponentiallyover the next 4.3 years.New Jersey is such a messthat there is talk now aboutextending the income taxdown to the municipal level.There is just no respect forthe people whatsoever.Accountants already arewarning people NOT to retirein New Jersey for they willtax your benefitsunbelievably. There is amassive migration beginningto unfold all over taxation.This further helps to keep acap on real estate and therewill be an ongoing shift in thesupply. Prices will rebound tosome degree in selectedareas due to inflation, but wewill not see the lofty levels of yesterday.Being away for as long as Ihave been, seeing prices of just everyday things hasbeen a shock. This hasimpacted me perhaps morethan most, because it is likewatching yourself in themirror every day. You do notsee the slow gradualchanges. Pull out an oldphotograph from a decade ormore and you are confrontedwith the changes in time andcircumstance. I see thechanges more so than others
