PENSION COLLAPSE, DISASTER & GREECE

LOCAL, MUNICIPAL, STATE, FEDERAL, GOVERNMENT UNIONS, AFL-CIA/SEIU, slaughter their own constituents, along with OUR STATE apparatus.

As I have said many times over, THEY do right wing ideologue Grove Norquist's work FOR HIM!

He could NOT do it any better by himself!

Altho nominal government SERVICE workers, a majority, not entirely, being public education, a MAJOR conflict of interest and DIRECT COLLISION COURSE exists BECAUSE THEIR UNION PENSION FUNDS INVESTED FOR THEM IN SPECULATIVE PRIVATE CAPITAL, STOCK MARKET, exotic flavored HEDGE FUNDS, derivative tools, ETC.

UNLIKE private employees, however, government pensions, including professional career POLITICIANS, civil servants, receive TAXPAYER GUARANTEES, so, IF their pension funds LOSE money, the STATE, i.e., taxpayers, become LIABLE for THOSE losses, contracts.

The PENSION LIABILITY, DEBT LOAD, in MOST every LOCAL government system, of which numerous exist, in this country being ENORMOUS--MANY, MANY, BILLIONS, much greater than income received.

Remember WHERE this money is/was invested in the first place.

The same STOCK MARKET GAMBLING CASINO AND PRIVATE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS AS THE TOO BIG TO FAIL NAZI LINEAGE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY CROWD ALSO RECEIVING ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES, PRINTED FIAT MONEY, from THEIR PRIVATELY OWNED FEDERAL RESERVE IN THE FORM OF QE, STIMULUS, ETC.

A money-go-round system.

But, of course, according to the world of born again oxymoron Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders, 
"WE DO NOT DO THAT HERE," i.e., NATIONALIZE INDUSTRIES, PRODUCTION, MANUFACTURE, ENERGY, NATURAL RESOURCES so everyone can simply eliminate ANY possible CONTROL, income, jobs, RATIONALIZED economic planning, JUSTICE, PROSECUTION, LIQUIDATIONS of their/those assets, etc.

Above options being OFF THE TABLE, ELIMINATED, NOT FOR ACTIONABLE DISCUSSION, TACTICS, STRATEGY, CONSIDERATION.

So, returning to our current dysfunctional STATE PENSION, DEBT, LIABILITY, system.
IT MUST BE CHALLENGED, CHANGED, REPUDIATED, AS CURRENTLY IT EXISTS!

Solutions DO exist IF one acknowledges problems in the first place, but, rest assured, our unions DO, AND, WILL, NOT acknowledge ANY responsibility or PROBLEM of their OWN making.

On the contrary.

They simply dig and entrench themselves in ever deeper, ALWAYS denying ANY culpability, instead, saying it is a sinister Republican plot to destroy government and union busting, which WILL become a self-fulfilling prophecy because ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS WILL destroy both unions and government services, creating an economic rational for PRIVATIZATION!

It represents a fundamental, basic, elementary, MATH problem! 

The legislators simply say, which is true, they have NO money to pay ANY further government services, including public education, BECAUSE they are too busy trying to finance, service, PENSION liabilities, DEBT!

(More DEBT ALSO created by local Government borrowing more PRIVATE CAPITAL to manufacture income so they can kick the can down the road.)

(This relates ALSO to PRIVATE HEALTH CARE with Oboomacare thru Federal/State MEDICAID financing, but, that's just another nail or issue in a proverbial coffin.)

Well, that debt and this system MUST CHANGE, otherwise, it will change FOR THEM JUSTIFIABLY in ways they, and we, will NOT like at all!

A fundamental economic collision course and crisis exists in the making and NOBODY here cares to challenge it, except, of course, the legislators whom they ADMONISH.

Their current pension liability, debt, BANKRUPTCY, MUST be re-negotiated, honored, and, PERHAPS, merely as ONE POSSIBLE suggestion, collapsed into a one time credit into our Federal SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM, with a reasonable, proportional, write down of debt and benefits and INCREASE in the PROPORTIONAL Social Security payment system.

Or, maybe they can just print more money like they did for QE, STIMULUS??

We have an always threatened STATE quasi-pension system called SOCIAL SECURITY into which EVERYONE pays SOME money and EVERYONE gets back SOME money and NONE of it has anything to do with the expansion of PRIVATE CAPITAL.
The problem being Social Security is limited, capped, and, competes with PRIVATE CAPITAL!

THIS IS THE SYSTEM THAT MUST BE FORTIFIED, EXPANDED, JUST LIKE MEDICARE FOR ALL!

A lot of SPONSORED noise CURRENTLY in the streets for partisan election purposes, made for TV, spurious issues.

But, MANY, real, looming, manufacturing, production, FINANCIAL, job, humanitarian, overseas, military, SYSTEMIC ECONOMIC crises exists just waiting to explode FURTHER in everyone's faces.

And, on THIS NOTE, last, but, not least, have NOT forgotten, amongst other places, GREEK developments.

So, below being a very good video editorial conclusion for today's post:

http://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2017/02/23/athens-strikes-and-angry-protesters-trying-to-raid-the-health-ministry-videos/

NOT NATIONS, PRIVATE ECONOMIC CORPORATIONS, INTERESTS

I think it alot better, easier, simple, more precise, less confusing, ceasing to use national, country, names, identities, like US, China, Russia, etc., for journalistic purposes.

Instead, simply itemize WHICH PRIVATE ECONOMIC INTERESTS INVOLVED.

Simply inform yourselves regarding SPECIFIC commercial interests here and abroad.
Totally ignore the hyperbole, spin, echo chamber, cacophony of distraction provided by our entire institutional edifice of corporate media, whores, represented on ALL/both sides of the SAME COIN.
One side of coin you get Sanders, flip it over you get Trump or Clinton, Obooma.

So, below, I chose a FEW random SAMPLES demonstrating what I mean.
Much more available at same AND OTHER websites.

I highlight FIRST report below about CANADIAN UNIONS ONLY BECAUSE it nicely demonstrates SAME conflict of interest as represented by OUR own racketeering, criminal, AFL-CIA/SEIU labor unions via THEIR pension fund and/or health care investments which NOBODY cares to confront, change, challenge!

(Another time more to say regarding our NOMINAL STATE, government, PENSION system, but, PRIVATELY invested and its CURRENT BANKRUPTCY, WHO pays, WHO is responsible, WHAT to do!):

http://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Kinder-Morgan-Begins-Talks-With-Canadian-Pension-Funds-For-Trans-Mountain-Expans.html

Since latest Lady Thatcher clone visited current Presidential Recidivist Crimes Against Humanity ROCKEFELLER TREX ADMINISTRATION just now I thought to highlight one report below about BP/BG EGYPT investment, BECAUSE, no doubt, amongst many possible items discussed at their collective meeting was/is BP/BG global, which, IF collective amnesia does not exist, includes BP in the US Gulf of Mexico and its HORRENDOUS oil spill not long ago.

Gulf of Mexico being identified HERE NOMINALLY as FEDERALLY OWNED territory, but, as I indicate, represents a SEA OF PRIVATE INVESTMENT.

The article below refers to Egypt STATE ENERGY.

IF Egypt has a STATE ENERGY system than what the hell is BP doing there??
Same as OUR GULF OF MEXICO, no doubt.

Egypt might as well declare itself a colony!:

http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/These-Oil-Majors-Just-Made-Egypt-Their-Highest-Priority.html

The list goes on as private interests overlap, conflict, compete, for ever greater profit margin, market share, MORE CONSUMPTION, cheap labor, pricing, taxes, natural resources, and so on.

THEIR SYSTEM ANACHRONISTIC!!
DEAD!!
COMATOSE, ON LIFE SUPPORT!

The question being NOT WHICH form of energy BUT WHO OWNS IT!!

It is NOT ONLY ENERGY, but, energy represents a fundamental underpinning of the entire economic superstructure.

"China" being another collection of private economic interests, exports, A MYRIAD of CRAP, ABSOLUTE GARBAGE, JUNK.

Places like Walmart and Amazon (paying NO sales tax) only exist because of the CRAPPY COMMERCIAL JUNK, STUFF, emanating out of Made in China garbage wonderland.

Of course, an equally PRIVATELY OWNED global production supply chain exists--assembled, manufactured, in China.

Energy, ships, ply the seas transporting what really it is: GARBAGE.
These are humongous GARBAGE ghost SHIPS crisscrossing the sea dumping their WASTE products on places like HERE.

So, expect NO change for the better as long as NO CHANGE in OWNERSHIP from PRIVATE TO COLLECTIVE, STATE, occurs.

These FUNDAMENTAL, SYSTEMIC, economic contradictions created WWI, in response, the Great Russian Revolution, then, WWII with ultimate EXPANSION of the USSR and global revolution.

NO USSR exists any longer, nor, of course, anything resembling RED China, so, history not only will, but, MUST repeat itself and the powder keg exists already in greater Mideast, Eurasian, destabilized, including Euro Zone, arc.

Last but not least following report, link, to suffice as my own editorial commentary to the above:

http://www.iraqoilreport.com/news/assassination-bombings-roil-basra-21159/

US, THE ATLANTIC CHINA; IRAN; HATE POLITICS

FIRST, by way of introduction, allow me to reaffirm, or, recapitulate, BRIEFLY the ECONOMICS on NUMEROUS PREVIOUS entries. 

Then, I turn to the divide and conquer role of IDENTITY, HATE, POLITICS.

ERSATZ, DEPLORABLE, PHONY, MAFIA, SLEAZEBAG, TRUMP NATIONALISM, I.E., CONTINUED NAZI TREX, ROCKEFELLER/MORGAN/EXXON/CITIGROUP, et.al., US ECONOMIC DICTATORSHIP, i.e, THE SWAMP, as opposed to behind, NOW UP FRONT AND IN YOUR FACE, basically invites MULTINATIONAL, ALONG WITH DOMESTIC, PRIVATE CAPITAL to INVEST, RAPE, PLUNDER, ASSET STRIP, EXPLOIT, WITH CHEAP LABOR, NO TAXES, GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES, NATURAL RESOURCES AND LABOR, LIKE CHINA, ABROAD, but, HERE!

A RACE TO THE BOTTOM REPLETE WITH CONTRADICTIONS, COMPETITION, WINNERS AND LOSERS.

Thus, STUPID US to become ATLANTIC CHINA, East or West China, depending from WHICH vantage point you stand.

THAT being THE most simplified NUB, substance, of THEIR economic program.

ANOTHER CAPITAL ASSET BUBBLE to be CREATED doing NOTHING to help ANYONE HERE OR ABROAD except, of course, ALREADY WEALTHY PRIVATE INTERESTS, exacerbating a PROFOUNDLY imbalanced situation.

The US, like the REST OF THE GLOBE, becoming MORE, NOT LESS, IMPOVERISHED, UNEQUAL, UNDER GUISE OF JOB CREATION!

It is CONTINUED delusional, voodoo, economic policy, the ANTITHESIS OF RATIONAL STATE, COLLECTIVIZED, SOCIALIZED, NATIONALIZED, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, OWNERSHIP, which, of course, according to Born Again, ORWELLIAN, oxymoron, US Democratic Socialist SANDERS:

"WE DO NOT [EMPHATICALLY] DO THAT HERE!!!!"
UNTHINKABLE, OFF THE TABLE!!!

Surrogate TRUMP ANOTHER STIMULUS PLAN, like FORMER US CIA PUPPET OBOOMA NAZI ADMINISTRATION AND PRIVATELY OWNED FEDERAL RESERVE JANET YELLEN, US TREASURY JAMIE DIMON, QE, STIMULUS, etc.

This time, they plan to build AND MORTGAGE US AND THE WORLD TO TOTALLY UNNECESSARY PRIVATELY OWNED LARGE CAPITAL INTENSIVE ENERGY PROJECTS for EXPORT along with HORRIFIC, DANGEROUS, EXPLOSIVE, EXPENSIVE, LNG EXPANSION!

A never ending NIGHTMARE!

ALL this occurs BECAUSE our PREVIOUS COLLABORATIVE ADMINISTRATION DID NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, TO CHANGE THEIR SUICIDAL COURSE.

Next, ONLY A FEW words, commentary, and, links concerning THE POLITICS OF DECEPTION, HATE, IRAN, NAZI SPONSORED FUNDAMENTALIST RELIGION, IDENTITY POLITICS, GLOBALLY.

Pepe Escobar, in a following link, below, EQUALLY engages in the GREAT GAME NAZI IRAN DECEPTION PROJECT, EXPOSING HIMSELF as another whitewash, revisionist, apologist.

Certainly true about Saudi involvement, but, OMITS LOTS of EXQUISITE HORRIFIC DETAILS, FACTS, COMPLICITY, SURROUNDING NAZI MANUFACTURED ARYAN FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAMIC IRAN'S ROLE IN IRAQ, greater MIDEAST, and A WHOLE LOT ELSE.

His prognosis is WISHFUL thinking!

Lots, too MANY more, conflicting, competing, challenging, factors involved.

NO MIDEAST PEACE FORTHCOMING, I ASSURE EVERYONE.

ONE EXAMPLE NOT mentioned, the MILITARY role of NEIGHBORING ARAB STATES LIKE EGYPT, and, then, of course, there's TURKEY, ISRAEL, amongst others.

The MIDEAST REPRESENTS AN ARAB, NOT MUSLIM, SLAUGHTER HOUSE, OVERT PRIVATE POWER GRAB, LAND ACQUISITION, ANNEXATION, HOSTILE, COMPETING, OCCUPATION.

This FACT WILL NOT CHANGE!

So, first EXAMPLE BELOW:

http://www.atimes.com/article/lots-shouting-tiny-stick/

2 more.

I do NOT bother with THIS sort of analysis, below, generally.

I consider it wasting MY precious time, BECAUSE, TO ME, ALL names mentioned below already WELL KNOWN, EXPOSED OVER AND OVER, CIA, COVERT, FRONT GROUPS, OPERATIONS.

David Corn, for example, one name amongst others mentioned in link below, being WELL KNOWN as a Kennedy Assassination and 9/11 government "conspiracy" DENIAL career professional.

The NATION magazine, under relatively NEW OWNERSHIP, Katrina Vanden Heuval, and, HOSTILE TAKEOVER from FORMER editor Victor NAVASKY, represents another front operation.

[As an aside, IF anyone reading this KNOWS someone, an independent investigative researcher, author, writer, and/or grad student, friend, acquaintance, family member, relative, PERHAPS, looking for a thesis suggest they/he/she DO A DEEP ANALYSIS, RESEARCH, regarding HOW AND WHY NAVASKY was FORCED to sell the NATION MAGAZINE TO VANDEN HEUVAL, the ECONOMICS behind it.]


More important TO ME are NAMING PRIVATE CAPITAL INTERESTS supporting issues above and below, POLITICS OF HATE, IDENTITY, etc.

There is SO much REAL history and background on above and below subject matter that I do not bother generally dissecting GARBAGE that emanates out of both/all sides from our CORPORATE, COMMERCIAL, PROPAGANDA NETWORKS, MEDIA, as well as COVERTLY FUNDED, EQUALLY ARTIFICIAL, OPPOSITION.

Nonetheless, below an EXAMPLE, consider it an exercise.

I have NO problem with anyone doing it, just that to ME it represents a waste of MY time for reason above.

As another footnote, EXERCISE, try historical research on the SCIENTIFICALLY BOGUS PROPAGATED EUGENICS movement in this and other countries, WHO funded it and why!

So, FIRST:

http://www.tenc.net/ellison1.htm

Last, but, NOT least, I have an excuse to feature a video event below.

THE ONLY AND MAIN REASON I DO SO having NOTHING to do with the information presented below.

You HAVE to sit through the book author's entire presentation, however, to get to the REAL REASON I highlight this event.

MY reason comes during the QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD afterward, at the END, when A WOMAN CONFRONTS THE SPEAKER, AUTHOR, WITH A QUESTION WHICH REALLY BECOMES A STATEMENT, ACCUSATION.

One can NOT fail to miss the testy interaction which ensues back and forth.
It will be self-evident.

Observe HOW she/it is handled, what happens, the interchange.
It is NOT long, just a few minutes.

I highlight it BECAUSE it took much GUTS, COURAGE, CONFRONTING this crowd within this environment with a HOSTILE TRUTH in the way she did.

And, HOW it/they/he handled it/her EXEMPLARY!

IF anybody reading MY POST KNOWS WHO is this woman, I would VERY MUCH LOVE them to convey this message to her, GIVE HER SUPPORT, and, POST HER NAME, IF SHE WISHES, along with ANY REBUTTAL she was NOT permitted to pursue!

POSTSCRIPT; ADDENDUM; TO POST BELOW: WAR & FASCISM

I will ADD link below to my entry, War & Fascism, from yesterday as postscript.

NO way exists for YOU to fact check MY assertion I did NOT view or know ANYTHING about it/him/this discussion/book/event, BEFORE I wrote my entry below.

You must simply take my word for it.

I do NOT INTENTIONALLY LIE.

I MAY get incorrect or incomplete information, conclusion, data, but, it is NOT an INTENTIONAL oversight, lie, spin, propaganda.

So, a fascinating, interesting coincidence, serendipity??

I am as surprised as anyone to see it appear just after posting yesterday's entry, and, I found myself chuckling aloud.
A good laugh!

Of course, they/he do NOT present issues AS DO I with exquisite horrific details, economics, historical background, names, causation, etc.
Sanitized and appropriately spun.
Nonetheless, you get the idea.
So, without further ado:

https://www.c-span.org/video/?423232-1/big-stick

FASCISM AND WAR

If you happen to be so dumb, but, then again, this IS THE STUPID country, as Trump said, as not to figure out that most current US NAZI RESIDENT TRUMP Administration represents a MILITARY DICTATORSHIP PARTNERED WITH TOO BIG TO FAIL, UNTOUCHABLE, NAZI PEDIGREE, MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, NAMES, INDIVIDUALS, PRIVATE CAPITAL, LABOR UNIONS, together, then, too bad YAWL!

Out in the open, in your face, rather than hiding behind, as Bertram Gross called it/them in his book appropriately named "Friendly Fascism," Love Me I'm Liberal, Democrat partnered, plethora of CIA operatives, covert front groups, "humanitarianism," empty jargon, etc.

US DIA (DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY) TRUMPS, pun intended, CIA.
A WELL KNOWN FACT.
CIA BEING JUNIOR PARTNER TO THE DIA.

It is eminently clear the US OPENLY, rather than covertly, stands on a WAR FOOTING, militarized dictatorship, with/for PRIVATE CAPITAL, represented best by ALL human detritus, TRASH, GARBAGE, IN YOUR FACE in THIS, and, MARGINALLY less upfront in PREVIOUS, Administrations.

National Security, or, Insecurity, reigns SUPREME!

THAT fact, above, most likely having much or most to do with Trump's recent ban from CERTAIN countries.

Saudis, as everyone knows, excluded from misnomer Muslim ban.

SAUDIS SYNONYMOUS WITH EXXON, SAUDI ARAMCO, CITIGROUP, ROCKEFELLER INTERESTS, AND, ISIS.

The REAL reason behind Trump's fake bluster, of course, being a Faustian bargain EVERYONE TOGETHER MADE with NAZI manufactured ISLAMIC, ARYAN, IRAN IN IRAQ, and, elsewhere.

I promised EVERYONE partnered to go down with IRAN, and, so it will be.

I KEEP MY PROMISES!

For the rest of our pathetic hypocritical Opposition, here and abroad, TOO BAD!

YOU ALL MADE YOUR BED AND NOW YAWL, double entendre intended,TO LIE IN IT, ENORMOUS repercussions already ripple thruout the globe.

NO peace in the Mideast, nor the globe, THANKS TO ALL, and, more, NAMED ABOVE!

Global insurrection, revolution, dislocation, liberation, guerrilla movements, disorder, chaos, which is WHY now we have a BIG, BOLD, BRAVE, NEW/OLD WORLD DIS-ORDER SYSTEM, IN YOUR FACE, INSTITUTIONALIZED, CODIFIED, PERMANENT, NATIONAL (IN-SECURITY) STATE APPARATUS!

Rather than waste MY precious energy and time reinventing the wheel, I highlight only a FEW past posts exemplifying above. 

In following earlier entry a serious case of DISAPPEARING LINKS exists, as usual.
A few work.
Do your best.

But, because pernicious CSIS being in the news once again with TRUMP, I went to THEIR website to retrieve ONE link NOT working in my post below, that of the INFAMOUS IRANIAN NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR IN IRAQ AND HIS/THEIR TORTURE REGIME, MOWAFFAK-AL-RUBAIE, FEATURED GUEST AT CSIS!

So, first, MY earlier post BELOW:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2008/03/ahmadimidgets-visit-to-baghdad-muwafak.html

Then, a WORKING LINK to AL-RUBAIE'S CSIS APPEARANCE: 

https://www.csis.org/events/statesmens-forum-mowaffak-al-rubaie-national-security-advisor-iraq

Last, but, certainly NOT LEAST, ONE OF MANY, GOOD, INFORMATIVE, POSTS about subject matter above and RUBAIE'S real IRANIAN NAME noted from source below.

I am VERY, VERY, SORRY NO longer to see updated posts from this SUPERB WRITER, but, ALSO, I can only hope ALL IS AS WELL AS CAN BE EXPECTED with her, AT LEAST, PHYSICALLY!:

http://arabwomanblues.blogspot.com/2007/12/iraq-grandeur-destruction-part-ii.html

Then, fast forward more or less to present with FASCIST IRAN MULLAH SISTANI'S SON IN LAW, IRAQ SHAHRISTANI, featured in photo below:

http://www.iraqoilreport.com/news/parliament-jump-starts-stalled-oil-corruption-inquiry-21044/


So, everyone enjoy your well earned little and big wars, along with ALL systemic economic and catastrophic implosion!
