The USA Today

USA Today – “Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year (42%), a USA TODAY analysis of government data finds.”

“At the same time, government-provided benefits — from Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps and other programs — rose to a record high during the first three months of 2010(58%).”

“Those records reflect a long-term trend accelerated by the recession and the federal stimulus program to counteract the downturn. The result is a major shift in the source of personal income from private wages to government programs.”

“The trend is not sustainable, says University of Michigan economist Donald Grimes. Reason: The federal government depends on private wages to generate income taxes to pay for its ever-more-expensive programs. Government-generated income is taxed at lower rates or not at all, he says.”

USA Today is looking at the tip of the iceberg. We need to look at what lies beneath the surface to know the cure.

Like USA Today says, my Social Security income and disabled World War II veteran benefits are not taxable. It means considerable in what I can afford. My gratitude to the taxpayers. I owe you. The least I can do is to give you the benefit of 84 years of experience.

I volunteered to fight for America’s freedom in World War II, not expecting anything. I did expect, however, for government to mind its own business. In my view, government was never intended to directly grant aid to individuals. There is nothing in my Constitution on grants in aid. After World War II, the America people were on their way to the American dream. I was engaged in a prosperous private enterprise. Had government minded its own business, I would have in all likelihood retired a millionaire.

First, it was Roosevelt’s New Deal law during the Great Depression, which Roosevelt caused to linger by favoring unions and grants in aid to individuals. World War II ended the Great Depression. America was put to work building a war machine. This Great savior of the Great Depression, who saved the meek and the poor from starvation by taking from the rich and giving to the poor, how noble of the man, then it was Lyndon Johnson’ Great Society law, followed by Nixon, with his price controls, which put me out of business, thanks to the New Deal, the Great Society, and price controls, the IRS lawlessly put me on the street. The courts looked the other way. I took the story of endless IRS mistakes against me, with the courts’ tacit approval, to the press. The United States was publically exposed for the fraud it is. I sent the evidence to my congressional representatives. Not one peep from anyone in Washington. What more do you want for proof that your congressional representatives are self-serving frauds talking out of both sides of their mouths. I have the documentation.

Justice Brandeis, a Roosevelt appointee: “Property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our Court that they have made the means an end.” He said this and not one peep. The worst thing government could do is to give the meek and poor a handout. What they need is a leg up. What they get is a pittance for voting for the biggest fraud of all times, the United States of America. What irony! America’s government is no better in principle than the Nazi government me and my buddies defeated in World War II.

The obvious reasons for the crises:

What is needed, the Obama people say, is “comprehensive” immigration reform—law that is all inclusive. You betcha! This is what we need to keep the frauds in Washington in control of our lives. Over 50 percent of all union workers are employed by the government, compared with only 17 percent in 1980. Government workers make about $10 more per hour than the average private sector employee. And not only that, they receive lucrative pensions when they retire. Inclusive of whom, Obama? Get outa here!

Not one peep of protest in Washington. Those frauds are not about to protect us or defend our southern border. All we hear is possible remedies for the fraud they have imposed on us, never the cause or the cure. Obama says he is a Roosevelt Democrat. What does this mean? Roosevelt, in 1933: “While it isn’t written in the Constitution, nevertheless, it is the inherent duty of the Federal Government to keep its citizens from starvation.” Roosevelt in 1937: “The balance of power between the three great branches of the Federal Government has been tipped out of balance by the courts in direct contradiction of the high purposes of the framers of the Constitution. We have reached the point where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court.” Save the Constitution, my eye. What did I tell you! Roosevelt gave my Constitution his middle finger, and so does Obama.

Barrack Hussein Obama’s government reminds us of Hussein’s, Hitler’s, Stalin’s, and Mao’s governments—and don’t leave out America’s ACLU. You got it folks. Pull out all the stops. We’re gonna change our way of livin. Yea, to what? They all should be ridden out of Washington on a rail.

Ever since Roosevelt, from Washington it has been trashing the Founding Fathers; discouraging America’s spiritual life; encouraging dependence on government. For shame! All you people who vote for the progressives have a “right” to a decent standard of living—by redistribution of the wealth of the nation. Yea, right on! Just let Big Daddy Obama do all he needs to do to end the crises, leaving us all either taxpayer slaves or spineless jellyfish dependent on government.

Obama wants to give America “cap and trade,” by his own admission, significantly raising the price of electricity. He’s already given America ObamaCare, a shell game aimed at raising the cost of health care, so everyone has the “right” to heath care. Yea! And he’s bailed out those too big to fail, and all on borrowed money, creating an unsustainable debt. Yea! And he remains looking for more ways to send us to the cleaners, of course, in the interest of spreading our great wealth with them that have so little (sob). And who wants you when you’re old and grey? We can save a bundle by taking health care away from the old folks, after having made us government dependents. Right on Obama. You and Hitler are bed fellows.

Yes indeed! There’s nothing like crises to implement change. But hold on there, you’ve left your brains behind the door. Besides being a bigger liar than Bill Clinton (I didn’t think it possible) Obama is not above using bribery to sell out the American people. Galloping on a fast horse in full retreat, Obama goes about the world apologizing for America. And there’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, too, and her numbskull idea of a “global village.” You betcha! Everyone in the world has a “right” to a decent existence. If an American family has an annual income of $30,000, by world standards, this family is wealthy. If Obama, the Clintons, and their good friend, George Soros, have their ways, the American people can expect a drastic cut in living standards. But all of this drastic change is for what good purpose, folks?

A thousand years ago, while the West was hopelessly under the control of self-serving authorities (just like those we have now) in the church and palaces of Europe, in the “Dark Ages,” the people living in hopeless poverty, China was prospering under a free enterprise system. What comes around goes around.

In The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law, The Roman judge Cicero said, “Not all things are necessarily just which are established by civil laws and institutions and nations. Justice identifies with obedience to the written laws—written, forbidding certain things and commanding others. If it were possible to constitute right simply by the commands of the people, by the decrees of princes, by the adjudications of magistrates, then all that would be necessary in order to make robbery, adultery, or the falsification of wills right and just would be a vote of the multitude.” How about that! Cicero spoke these words more than 2,000 years ago. Roosevelt changed America’s fundamental law during a time of crises to give himself great power. The sole purpose of the slippery, slimy frauds in Washington, D.C. is to rob us of our energy and use it against us for their own aggrandizements. Their ploy is as old as the hills.

What a laugh! Cicero was dispossessed and run out Rome by the powers that be, reminding us that Jesus was crucified, thanks to a Roman governor, who ceremoniously washed his hands. It reminds us of America’s courts saying we must interpret the Constitution in light of today’s needs--as determined by the courts, of course, while implying there is no such thing as intrinsic principles that never change. Justice Black, in fact, said the law is what we say it is. How nice!

You betcha! “You picked a fine time to lead us, Barrack.” With his right hand on the Bible, Obama swore to protect and defend the Constitution. Notice that when he signs his name on a law he uses his left hand. Obviously, his left hand was behind his back with his fingers crossed when he took the oath of office.

The Underlying Reasons:

Now for the reasons for the crises, that which lies beneath the surface, which are not the subject of discussion in economics classrooms, not on the news, in the White House or in Congress. Now for the underlying reasons for the public’s failing interest in the doctrines and dogmas of religion, which are not discussed by theologians. Our mighty ship of state is sinking. We’re losing faith in an Almighty God in Heaven. Take note that Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, who spoke of God-given rights, was himself a deist. He believed in the existence of Providence on the basis of reason, without reference to the supernatural God in Heaven conventional religions give us. Gee! Here’s a God we can never find without the help of the authorities, each of whom knows whose God is the real God, and uses this to brainwash us. They are only doing what comes naturally, folks.

At long last, there is an awakening of what God is, along with a deep mistrust of the establishment. The reasons are not being discussed in the classroom, on the news, in government, in churches, synagogues, or in mosques, but for sure, the reasons are being discussed. There is a groundswell building, I can tell you. Deep down you know it as well as I know it.

I get my reasons from the Internet, from books on astrology, numerology, books on history, on philosophy, from the cutting edge of science, and yes, even in the Bible. Personal experience plays a big role in my reasoning. I don’t receive comments pro or con on my far out reasons, I presume, because from birth our education is designed to keep us on the “straight and narrow,” unaware that we have the capability of being in touch with a dimension of infinite possibility.

Without a thought, we simply accept our present state of technology. A hundred years ago, people would have laughed at you for envisioning what was to come. We’re here with increasing purpose. We are not making the connections. For that very reason, this is a very dangerous time.

Children have great imaginations. My parents let me know that I asked too many questions. I had to look within for answers, and usually found the wrong answers. I learned the right answers in the school of hard knocks. But my rebirth didn’t come until midlife, when everything I’d worked for went up in smoke. I took the road less traveled. My journey began with my Constitution. When I studied it, I felt that voices from the past were speaking to me. I felt a bigger than life calling, a spiritual calling. I discovered my God-self. Since then, God has served me well. I could not ask for more.

People feel a spiritual calling from many different sources, and not a few from their own egos. We’ve got the Bible thumpers, those who kill in God’s name, those locked up in insane asylums, and Obama—how do we distinguish real from false callings?

Compare Jesus with Obama. Jesus was a man of influence, a vagabond when he could have been a king. Most of us would not have the job of President of the United States on a bet. Compare Obama’s influence with Jesus’ influence. Whereas Jesus is judged the most influential man who ever lived, Obama’s influence is in a free fall.

The History of our Spiritual Life:

The Age of Pisces began around the time of Jesus of Nazareth’s birth. The Star of Bethlehem led the three wise men to the place of his birth. In Astrologer’s Handbook, under “Pisces,” I read, “Pisces is a sensitive sign and those born under it are extremely responsive to the thoughts and feeling of others. They unconsciously absorb the ideas and mental outlook of those around them. They desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule they do not have strong willpower. Therefore, they are easily influenced by external factors.” By the way, the sign of Pisces is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions, accounting for the great division in the United States. The good news is that the Age of Pisces is fading into the past.

External factors can be material things; can be an almighty God in Heaven; can be an almighty government in Washington, D.C. , but cannot be an internal God-self. In The Physics of Consciousness, under “A God for Tomorrow,” I read, “Einstein, who did not believe in any personal God, nevertheless had an odd faith in the orderliness of nature, a faith that induced him to seek the truths he found for us in a inner sense of an almost mystical conception of the material world. . .it follows that the God we find must be a personal God. . . Now we see that the independent existence of matter and absoluteness of space were false dogma. . . But it has only been with the advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. . . Consciousness, the substance of this new-found reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality.”

A clue on our future:

We are entering the Age of Aquarius. The United States, by the way, was born under the sign of Aquarius. My astrological chart tells me that I was born Virgo with Aquarius Rising. In The Rising Sign, under “Aquarius Rising,” I read, “He becomes the water-bearer by walking to the beat of a different drummer. He may be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries. . .The person with Aquarius on the rise can be very avant-garde. He is a forerunner in setting style . . .He is a chance-taker. . . He knows where the fruit grows and where the spotlight can hit.”

In Astrologer’s Handbook, I read, “Aquarians have eccentric temperaments and are determined and stubborn. . .There is no affectation or snobbery in the Aquarian personality but a dislike of spurious imitation and hypocrisy in any form. Aquarians operate as equals among equals. However, they are not dependent on their environments for their security, because they derive this from being in the company of others.”

Aquarians, I learn, know where the spotlight can hit. On the other hand, being born with Virgo, my sun sign, my inner nature, and Aquarius, my rising sign, the part I show the world, as I age, I learn, I become more the part I show the world, from Astrologer’s Handbook, under “Virgo,” I learn that Virgos are forever seeking knowledge, “they learn that the mind of man is a good servant but a bad master, especially when the mind usurps the sovereignty of the spirit.” Virgos like to bring order out of confusion. But they are “much too practical and intelligent to allow anyone to make martyrs of them. When the demands made on them become excessive and unreasonable, they say no, with conviction.” Although Aquarians know where the spotlight can hit, Virgos do not want the spotlight on them.

“In Cosmos and Psyche (taken from the back cover), distinguished philosopher and cultural historian Richard Tarnas demonstrates the existence of an astonishingly consistent correspondence between planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history and biography. Based on thirty years of meticulous research, this brilliant book points to a radical change in our understanding of the cosmos, shining new light on the drama of history and on our own critical age. It opens up a new cosmic horizon that reunites science and religion, intellect and soul: modern reason and ancient wisdom.”

Tarnas reveals that the planets Saturn and Pluto, in their alignments, have a great deal to do with what is taking place on our planet. He writes that in the month and year that Obama was elected president, November, 2008, Saturn and Pluto went into unfavorable alignment and will remain so during most, if not all of his term of office.

During said unfavorable cyclic alignment, writes Tarnas: “An atmosphere of gravity and tension tended to accompany these three-to-four year periods, as did widespread epochal closure: the ‘end of an era,’ ‘the end of innocence,’ the destruction of an earlier mode of life that in retrospect may seem to have been marked by widespread indulgence, decadence, naiveté, denial, and inflation.”

The good news:

In my astrological chart, my Saturn is trine Pluto. A trine is the most favorable of alignments. In Astrologer’s Handbook, under “Saturn Trine Pluto,” I read, “This trine gives the natives the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized. . .They are able to work slowly and make fundamental changes in their own lives and others’ lives.”

For whatever it is worth to you, I have an audio tape from astrologer James Redfield, the author of The Celestine Prophecy, in which he states:

We are going to take a look at two key aspects of your astrological data, your Sun sign and your Moon sign. “We are going to talk about them archetypically. The emotional issue is pointed out by your Moon sign—how this feels as you go through life—talk about your Sun sign—again archetypically—how you naturally uplift people, to give you some good information as you try to find out what your spiritual mission is.

We have a new image of what it means to be a human being, how to think of ourselves as growing, evaluating, understanding, that we can connect with our God‑self energy. You grow in a Virgo way. Virgo is that part of us that is oriented toward conscientious work. At first unconsciously—and everyone has a different way of reacting—the object is to bring into consciousness the reactions and determine whether or not the reaction is mature or immature—when we can step back and look at our higher self, when need becomes strength.

The Vigo ego integration with higher self, and the higher self perspective is going to be defined along the lines of the Virgo archetype, which is, of course, our need for organization: to be effective, to be conscientious about making things better.

We all start at immature levels of ego functions. We have a sense of security based on how much we feel in charge of our lives. We want to keep the idea that things are going fine. We have goals we want to achieve. We need to manipulate things to keep everything just right. We need to keep this allusion for security purposes. If new information comes in, we can act defensively. We don't want information that rocks the boat.

What happens is that this allusion, based on security control, has to shift to our inner connection, our God‑self force that gives us a sense of well being no matter what's going on out there. We have to make that opening on the inside.”

As you get in touch with your inner energy and start to get in touch with your higher self, you will be guided into how to find that true work expression. It will be shown to you intuitively. This becomes the way you uplift everyone who comes into your life. When you evolve into your higher self you energize those who cross your path. This becomes your greatest talent.

In Numerology and The Divine Triangle, I’m given the number “7” as my “Life Lesson Number.” You are here to use and develop your mind. . . You should learn to spend time by yourself, in the woods or by the seashore, where ou can get in touch with your inner self and your deepest thoughts because your destiny is to use your mind. Coincidentally, I live in the tall timber far removed from the glitz. I spend a great deal of my time searching my mind for answers.
