Welcome to the New World Order, Phase Two

Welcome to the New World Order, Phase Two

Big labor, big businesses and big banks haves successfully looted the public treasury at a cost of trillions of dollars to U.S. taxpayers. The bailout and stimulus programs, and the cost of running the bloated bureaucracy that is regulating every facet of our lives at our expense, is why we have a federal deficit. And now the pretext of deficit reduction is being used to transfer more wealth to those already with too much, while dictating austerity by cutting public spending and making ordinary people bear the burden.

Planned austerity is the wrong solution for a sick economy, yet bipartisan support and two deficit-cutting commissions back it. Obama's debt commission's plan is a thinly veiled scheme to serve capital, not people when they most need it. The commission is proposing cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other social benefit cuts which harm working households most. This is typical elitist boilerplate—proposing draconian measures on ordinary people for greater enrichment for themselves.

When asked, during his Senate confirmation, why he’d consider going after Social Security to help reduce the National Debt, Bernanke quoted bank robber Willie Sutton. He said, “That’s where the money is.”



Five years ago, at the height of the housing bubble, President Bush spoke at Greece Athena Middle and High School in Greece, New York, about the political resistance in Washington to Medicare and Social Security cuts. The attendees were sympathetic to the President's remarks, and even applauded his blunt admission that the nature of his job requires endlessly repeating a few talking points. The President said: "As I mentioned to you earlier, we're going to redesign the current system. If you've retired, you don't have anything to worry about -- third time I've said that. (Laughter.) I'll probably say it three more times. See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda (Applause)." Reading it now, what's most revealing about the comment is not that Bush confirmed people's worst impressions of him in a moment of honesty, but that he is capable of speaking the truth far more than the current President is. In my book, that means Bush is a better man than Obama. [The Global Financial Oligarchy Eyes Government Cuts from Greece to New York, The Excavator, June 15, 2010]



After applauding an amendment to increase the federal debt limit by $1.9 trillion to $14.3 trillion (which Obama signed into law four days before signing into law the stimulus bill), Congress wants to now reduce the federal debt. They increased the limit to fund the stimulus package, which in turn is funding their New World Order Agenda, and now they want to direct austerity measures at the people by cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, among other things. Big labor, big banks, big businesses, big government (one entity) are taken care of while the ordinary tax-paying citizen gets screwed.
