Why We the People will not be on the 2014 Ballot

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, "Life isn't fair." He would know.

America fought a revolution over "Taxation without Representation." 

Now our standard of living is lower than it was in the 1980s:

After only one party voted for 0Care without reading it, with a Supreme Court possibly compromised by 17 Domestic Espionage agencies and 200,000 government intelligence employees motivated by larger and larger government powers over the people, we suffer the unfolding disaster called Obamacare, with nary a defacto dime's difference between the two dominant political parties.

Aurora, Boston Marathon, Murrah Building OKC, Ruby Ridge, Sandy Hook, Waco and 9-11 justified unconstitutional military incursions around the world, with depleted uranium genocidal Gitmo, renditions, toxic GMOs and vaccinations, veteran deaths and disabilities warfare, violations of our Bill of Rights by government agents, with repeated broken promises of government reform:

http://wikileaks.org/wiki/US_intelligence_budget:_$75_billion_and_200,000_employees._Fusion_centers_will_have_access_to_classified_military_intelligence

0Care, despite claiming to be the Affordable Healthcare Act, created higher healthcare prices, more people with cancelled healthcare and less coverage, more people dumped on middle class taxpayer subsidized Medicaid, hastening its collapse. 

0Care brought Executive Fiat, US 20 new taxes with 16,000 new IRS agents from the same government organization that violated its own rules of justice, played hardball politics by auditing and attaching incomes of political enemies and refused tax exempt political organizations to groups challenging the status quo of bigger badder government.

Now as members of Congress warned, every American is on a secret government database deemed illegal/unconstitutional, despite repeated (specious) claims of denial and reform by Presidential Teleprompter Conferences, Congresses and Courts.

Today we have politically partisan government routinely violating our Constitutionally protected justice, liberties, lives, peace and prosperity. 

We the People suffer taxpayer funded Benghazi and Fast Furious false flag gun-running to drug cartels and terrorists, Domestic Espionage, Drone Terminator Strikes on citizens and civilians, Farmers paid not to farm, Indefinite Detentions, IRS partisanship, 0Care, and the Police State of Big Brother 1984 Brave New World with Perpetual Warfare opposed by the majority of citizens. 

Political Parties gerrymandered election districts for 2:1 electoral imbalances guaranteeing their party perpetual incumbents without electoral challenge or review by voters, wrote and used election laws that do not allow motivated citizens representing the non-partisan majority to file as bona fide candidates.

Incumbents funded and owned by Special Interests routinely voted for or allowed the above cited injustices to the American people. 


For example, the state of Nevada has a None of the Above election choice and does not allow write-in candidates, or Libertarians to file for the Primary Election:

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/oct/29/can-i-write-candidates-electronic-voting-machines/ 


http://nvsos.gov/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=2097

Nevada government law thus denies We the People actually voting for real choices and representation.

In the 1991 elections that led to the break-up of the Soviet Union, the Soviet version of "none of above" led to new elections with new candidates in 200 races of the 1,500-seat Congress of People's Deputies.


More than 100 incumbents representing the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were defeated in the run-off, leading to Boris Yeltsin to later say the "None of the Above" option "helped convince the people they had real power even in a rigged election, and [it] played a role in building true democracy.” 

In Nevada, None of the Above election laws are meaningless, since if None of the Above wins majority or plurality, the next highest dominant party candidate wins:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/None_of_the_above

Illegal Aliens crossed our borders in Nevada and elsewhere for mandatory taxpayer funded affirmative action, education, healthcare, housing, rehabilitation and welfare, with driving privileges and defacto right to vote for the usual Special Interests. 

Federal Government, under Attorney General Eric Holder, who as a Columbia Student participated in an armed takeover of University Buildings, ignored election intimidation tampering by the New Black Panthers, yet sued to deny voter ID laws while requiring Medicaid Cards:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/eric-holder-vows-to-aggressively-challenge-voter-id-laws/2012/07/10/gJQApOASbW_story.html

As President Ford warned, more than half the people now receive mandatory transfer payments from middle class savers and a dwindling civilian workforce that is almost 42% out of work or compelled for economic reasons of poverty to give their health or lives to undeclared "wars" on other civilian populations:

http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/794/6786/original.jpg

We suffer standing dark ops Armies of perpetual warfare around the world to benefit war mongers and profiteers.

Thanks to the Supreme Court denying, dismissing or ignoring Birther cases as not having "standing" and the SCOTUS Citizens United decision that gave citizenship and power to perpetual legal fictions, we now have a President with a possible forged birth certificate and selective service card, with reported multiple social security numbers and travel to Pakistan when it was not legal for American citizens, who possibly got government education funding as a self-reported Indonesian Citizen, along with Corporate, Foundation, "Intelligence" and Union Special Interests controlling government for the 10% at the expense of the 90%:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_presidential_eligibility_litigation

No wonder the majority of Americans no longer vote.

Maybe it is time to reconsider Byzantine voter laws after Ron Paul, who led polls ahead of Obama, Romney and other primary caucus candidates, was denied convention delegates, recognition, seating and vote results by his own party, guaranteeing election defeat.

Party political candidates from President Obama to US Representative Titus in District 1 Las Vegas were certified and elected by minorities of active voters. 

Obama was elected by only 29.7% of active registered voters, while Titus was elected by 31.2%  of same, both minorities, not majorities:

We think it is way past time for the end of party politics as usual and a return to unified representative elections for all American citizens.

President George Washington presided over the convention that drafted our United States Constitution and Bill of Rights so dishonoured and violated today by party politics. 

Washington delivered his "Farewell Address" by publication in a Philadelphia newspaper. 

It quickly spread to newspapers across America and became a popular pamphlet. 

During the Civil War, it was read every year in Congress until 1984, when it was abandoned by the House. 

It is still read aloud in the Senate on Washington's Birthday:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington%27s_Farewell_Address

Washington was twice elected out of retirement as a non-partisan candidate and President. 

With two nascent political parties, the Hamilton Federalists and Jefferson's Anti-Federalist Democratic-Republicans, Washington advised American citizens to view themselves as a cohesive unit and avoid political parties. 

He also issued a special warning for all American citizens to be wary of attachments and entanglements with other nations and military establishments:

"The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize."

"...avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty"

"...designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts

"They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests."

"... they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism."

"But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism."

"The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty."

"... the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it."

"It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration."

"It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection." 

"It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions." 

"Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."

"It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government." 

"The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government."

"As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit." 

"One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible, avoiding occasions of expense by cultivating peace;"

"...avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertion in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear."

"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all."

"Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be, that good policy does not equally enjoin it - It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and at no distant period, a great nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence."

"The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave." 

"It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest."

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government."

"The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible."

"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world;"

"Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest." 

"But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences;"

"There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation." 

"It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard."

"In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression I could wish; that they will control the usual current of the passions, or prevent our nation from running the course which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations." 

"But, if I may even flatter myself that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism;"

"After deliberate examination, with the aid of the best lights I could obtain, I was well satisfied that our country, under all the circumstances of the case, had a right to take, and was bound in duty and interest to take, a neutral position." 

"Having taken it, I determined, as far as should depend upon me, to maintain it, with moderation, perseverance, and firmness."

Thus we make our determination and concluding statement that until all citizens and only citizens are allowed to exercise their Constitutional electoral rights to file and vote for any and all candidates, we will have only a shadow of the Constitutional Republic our Founding Fathers created and defended against tyranny.

We have the technology.

Now we need the will for freedom, justice, peace and prosperity...

Sincerely,


Richard Charles

Easier to Start a Business in Rwanda than USA



Policy: Economy

U.S. ranks behind Rwanda, Belarus, Azerbaijan in ease of creating new business, World Bank says

By Sean Higgins | JANUARY 22, 2014 AT 5:59 AM



A new study by the World Bank and the International Finance Corp. found that the U.S. ranks well behind countries like Rwanda, Belarus and Azerbaijan in terms of how easy it is for an entrepreneur to start a new business. 

The U.S. did narrowly beat Uzbekistan, though.

The rankings were included in the organizations' joint study "Doing Business 2014: Understanding Regulations for Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses." 

The annual report, released in October, ranks the relative ease of creating a new business in 189 countries, looking at such measures as the number of procedures required, the time spent complying with them and the cost of doing so, among other factors.

The report found that New Zealand is the easiest place in the world to create a new business. 

Starting one there requires "one procedure, half a day, (and) less than 1 percent of income per capita and no paid-in minimum capital," the study noted. New Zealand was followed by Canada, Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong in the top five.
By contrast, the U.S. requires, on average, six procedures, takes five days and requires 1.5 percent of the company's income per capita.

In addition to being beaten out by Rwanda (9), Azerbaijan (10), and Belarus (15), the U.S. lost out to Malaysia (16); Taiwan (17); Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory (18); and Mauritius (19).

The rankings matter and say a lot about a country's economy, the study notes: 

"[T]here is a positive relationship between entrepreneurship, growth and job creation. 

In 2007 young start-ups accounted for nearly 8 million of the 12 million new jobs created in the U.S. economy."

Titus and MSFT

How does fascism work in 2014 America?

hedgeless_horseman's picture






How does fascism work in 2014 America?

I am certainly no political science expert, nonetheless, what follows is a three-point example of Microsoft legislating profits that is so simple to understand even most Americans should be able to get it.

Let's start with the following as a premise, a partial definition of 21st Century Fascism:

Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
Point A

From the most excellent website, OpenSecrets.org...
Microsoft Corporation's top candidate recipient for "political contributions" in 2011-2012 was:  

Barack Obama (D) $815,395.

Click here to see the very, very, long list of politicians that received "donations" from Microsoft and its affiliates. 

In addition to "political contributions" Microsoft is engaged in "lobbying" which for some strange reason is always tracked in dollars, instead of the number of letters written to elected officials, or the hours and minutes Microsoft's employees spent in politicians' lobbies and offices.


LOBBYING: $8,086,000 (2012)

REVOLVING DOOR: 75 out of 97 Microsoft Corp lobbyists in 2012 have previously held government jobs
 
I am not even going to discuss all of the media content such as MSN.com and Bing Search that Microsoft controls.  

It should already be evident that, "The industrial and business aristocracy [in this case Microsoft and its affiliates] of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power..."

Point B
Moving on to, "...creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite."  

In addition to, "political donations," how do government officials benefit from legislating profit for Microsoft?  

That is simple enough to see:

Members of Congress who own Microsoft Corp shares: 51

Therefore, if Microsoft does well, then so do the elected officials/shareholders, such as these 51 congressional representatives that we have put in charge of the public duty of lawmaking.


Cognitive Dissonance Alert!  

Do not read the following definition of bribery if extreme cognitive dissonance causes you to experience negative side effects.

Bribery is an act of giving money or gift giving that alters the behavior of the recipient. Bribery constitutes a crime and is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty.
Point C
Finally, we take a quick look at the business side of, "...creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite."  

How does Microsoft benefit from this relationship?  I assure you that there are more ways to benefit than there are ease-of-use commonalities between Windows 7 and Windows 8, but let's go with just one example from this morning...a Federally Mandated Operating System Upgrade.

Below is a broadcast email from the Federal government's Medicare monopoly contractor, Novitas Solutions.  

Novitas currently administers the Medicare Administrative Contract which spans 11 states and Washington D.C., Indian Health Service (IHS), Veterans Affairs (VA); and the payment processing for the Federal Reimbursement of Emergency Health Services Furnished to Undocumented Aliens contract, as authorized under Section 1011 of the 2003 Medicare Modernization Act.

Important Information for Windows XP Users

 
Microsoft has announced that as of April 8, 2014, they will not release any security patches for the Windows XP operating system.  Without this support, Windows XP will be non-compliant with HIPAA.  
If you are using Windows XP, we encourage you to speak to your IT department to discuss possible options to remain HIPAA compliant.  Please note, while software products such as PC-ACE may still run on Windows XP, the operating system will be non-compliant with HIPAA as of April 8, 2014.

Holy horse pookie, Doctor!  

You must upgrade all of your Microsoft XP computers you purchased for the last HIPAA mandate with new Microsoft operating systems (and upgrade or purchase new Electronic Health Record systems, Practice Management systems, and Accounting systems), or else you are going to be in violation of HIPAA (MSFT will miss earnings estimates) and the Feds will be up Uranus with an endoscope, and they can no longer afford the lube thanks to the sequester!  

No, Doctor, your Federal government doesn't give a stool sample that all those computers running XP you purchased still work just fine for you, Doc.  This is about HIPAA compliance!  

You don't want to be out of compliance with HIPAA!!!

Honestly, it is probably more important that the good Doctor remain in compliance with The President's Huge Stimulus Package...

The recently passed stimulus legislation -- the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 -- includes language that requires any physician office that has discovered a breach involving unsecured data to notify by letter every affected patient.
The requirement is the same whether records are on a computer or in paper form.
You have until 60 days after discovering the data breach to let patients know it happened.

If more than 500 patients are affected, you also have to immediately notify local media and the Dept. of Health and Human Services.
HHS will post notice of the breach on its Web site. If fewer than 500 patients are involved, you must file an annual report with HHS.
http://www.amednews.com/article/20090316/business/303169998/5/
Remember, dear reader, what HIPAA compliance is really all about?  

You probably mistakenly believed that it protects patient privacy.  Wrong!  

Every day is opposite day when it comes to naming federal legislation.

In phase 1, the health insurers and government were guaranteed all of your medical records under HIPAA
When you visit a physician, you don't sign a release for this information, you sign a statement recognizing the physician is required to divulge it under HIPAA. 
There is no privacy in HIPAA.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-10-17/ten-things-expect-obamacare-201...
The P in HIPAA stands for portability, not privacy.  

HIPAA mandates that physicians divulge your records to the government and health insurers.  

Don't believe me?  

Next time you are at a physicians office, just read the Notice of Privacy Practices and the Acknowledgement that you are required to sign before you receive any healthcare.
 
The Notice will read very close to something like this:

This Notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information.  Please review it carefully. 

Et cetera and so forth...
The Acknowledgement you sign will read something like this:

I acknowledge that Dr. Benjamin Shalom provided me with a written copy of his Notice of Privacy Practices. 
Patient's signature: _____________________________
Agreed to on (today's date): ______________________

Even if the purpose of HIPAA was to protect privacy, it isn't as if the new technology is more secure than Windows XP.  

Tax-payer funded NSA hacking research has assured us all that nothing digital (including our money) will ever be truly secure again.

To sum it all up, in 2014 America, corporate profits are protected -

The technology and business aristocracy of our fascist nation, such as Microsoft, are the ones who put our government into office with money and media control, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship that includes companies like Microsoft paying lawmakers who are also shareholders to legislate profits for these very same corporations.  

Remember...

Bribery constitutes a crime and is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty.
Finally, if you haven't had enough, then please do (re)read these two recent ZeroHedge articles, keeping in mind what you just learned.

Cronyism Strikes Again: Ex-Microsoftee Married To Democrat Congresswoman Set To Take Over Obamacare Exchange
 
Security Expert Hacks Obamacare Website In 4 Minutes; Accesses 70,000 Records
 
Regarding this last article, as a reminder, Mr. President, under your Huge Stimulus Package, you have until 60 days after discovering the data breach to let patients know it happened.   

If more than 500 patients are affected, you also have to immediately notify local media.  

What am I saying?  Never mind.  I bet you gave yourself a waiver.
 
Fascism...we are soaking in it.
