The FBI Can't Afford to Help Me
By Rabbi David Eidensohn
The FBI can't afford to help me. Somebody stole my social security number and applied with it for credit. An alert agent, who happened to be of Middle-eastern origin, realized that the person calling was not "David," but some mid-Eastern name. The fact that the applicant called from an American city known for identity theft and credit fraud (Miami) helped prevent the applicant from scoring with my social security number. The agent called me and warned me that someone had my social security number. He told me how to proceed: I had to call three credit information agencies, and the police. I filed a report, and thought that my troubles were over. The same week another bank called me with another episode of attempted identity theft for credit fraud. The applicant failed to gain credit with my social security number these two times.
A week or so after that, I received a call from a credit card company. The applicant had somehow gotten my credit card number and applied for credit on a purchase. The applicant knew the credit card number, but not the expiration date. The request was denied, and the credit card company agent called me. I checked further and found that the crooked applicant had figured out three of my credit card numbers, but he had done much more than that. In two credit card companies, he had switched the address on the account to his phone and address. I called the credit card company on an unrelated issue, and found out that I had changed my address to Florida! Now the applicant had been so brazen as to leave his phone and address (unless they were fake). He also applied for a credit card for his wife. I suddenly realized that if the address on the credit card was Florida instead of New York, where I live, I missed my monthly billing and could get a late charge and lower my credit rating. I asked the credit card company to send me a new bill, and give me more time to pay. They refused. I told them it was not my fault if they sent my bill to Florida instead of my home. "It is policy," they said. "Even if we don't send you a bill, pay on time or get a late charge."
I rushed to the Post Office and even made a payment on the Internet to make sure I paid in time. Meanwhile, I called the local police, who told me a number to call in the FBI. The FBI said, "We have no resources to look into this." I remonstrated, "This fellow is an Arab who may be using my identity to establish himself here for terrorism. Don't you care?" The agent was very nice, and explained to me that there is not enough money to pursue such matters, unless somebody loses a certain sum of money. In my case, I lost no money, so nobody was interested. The credit card companies told me the same thing. So, Mr. Fraud is out there, doing his thing. He is so brazen as to give an address, stealing my own account from under my nose, and he knows that this country is so decrepit and poor that nobody is available to stop him.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, America has just plopped half a billion dollars into the global AIDS battle. This is just the first installment, and eventually, billions of American dollars will pour into what the UN calls a battle against AIDS. This is not true. A battle against AIDS would require reporting and quarantining all infecting people. The UN thinks that quarantine is offensive to gays. The American government and the UN fight AIDS by taking AIDS and HIV off of the list of infectious diseases so doctors cannot force reporting of partners and enforce it with quarantines. They then pour billions of dollars into gay organizations that teach people that whoever is not pro-gay lobby is a hater and inciter. There is huge fraud and corruption in American funds to fight AIDS, and of course, as the Secretary of the Treasury has said, we can expect fraud in the grant to the global AIDS battle. In the United States, the billions of dollars to fight AIDS given to the gay lobby have produced a situation where this year HIV cases rose by twenty-five percent, and homosexuals are increasingly brazen in their infecting of others in various other Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Therefore, most of that half billion dollars to the UN to fight AIDS won't stop AIDS, but it will empower the gay lobby and make a lot of corrupt people happy. Anyway, the globalists will like us, the gay lobby will smile instead of, heaven forefend, frown, and people like me can write articles about their suffering in America. You know something? I am not alone.
For one, there are senior citizens who can't afford the high costs of medications. The same government that just dumped half a billion dollars into the wastes of Gay Lobby land, does not support the desperate medical needs of its elderly citizens. The Washington Post published an article by Associated Press writer Janelle Carter on June 19, "House Panel Approves Drug Plan." Sounds good? It is terrible. Senior citizens live on fixed income, often not very much income at that, and for them a hundred dollars, even fifty, can be difficult to find. The drug bill forces senior citizens to pay half of their drug costs of over a thousand dollars a year up to two thousand dollars. After that, the government gives nothing. If we realize that modern drugs may cost hundreds of dollars a week, this could mean thousands of dollars a year for a retired person, a prohibitive expense. Our government is poor. It has to pay its global gay lobby obligations, so how can it keep alive its senior citizens?
Our country is also too poor to help the forty million Americans who don't have health insurance. No sympathy is available for hard working Americans who can't afford outrageous health care premiums, produced to a large degree by the Gay Lobby destruction of American health and the health dollar. In New York State, a Gay Lobby paradise, the state actually had to subsidize a health insurance company because it no longer is profitable to sell health insurance in New York. New York State took AIDS and HIV off of its list of infectious diseases decades ago. Doctors could no longer stop the spread of the disease by reporting partners and quarantine. The result is an explosion of health care costs. How can a state with a constantly exploding HIV population restrain its medical costs? When New York State passes them on to private companies, and the private companies pass them onto the public, forty million Americans are without health insurance. No matter. When 18,000 of these Americans die each year because they can't afford proper medical care, they can think, in their final suffering, of the good that half a billion dollars will do to the Gay Lobby organizations in Africa and the corrupt UN officials who will use this money. They can, before they raise their souls in the presence of weeping relatives, consider that the money they didn't get will go to educate Africans on homophobia.
Other people who are not helped by the government are America's disabled. A scandalous situation exists whereby enormous numbers of truly disabled Americans are denied Social Security protection by the government until they sue and get their deserts. Why are they denied? The government hasn't enough money for a good Social Security program so it instructs clerks to deny the disabled what they deserve. This is America the Beautiful? The Associated Press (6/11/02 – Leigh Strope) in an article entitled, "Social Security Claims Backlogged," writes: "Disabled Americans who apply for benefits often must wait two to three years to start receiving them. It can take as long as 1,150 days to process a disability application, according to the Social Security Administration…there were about 200,000 backlogged cases in 2001 at the administrative judge level." What country denies its disabled the basic right of a hearing? How can a disabled person who cannot work wait 1,150 days, which is over three years, for benefits! Are we a civilized country? We are not. We talk about gay rights all day, even at the Justice Department, but the ordinary citizen has none. The article concludes, "About 40 percent of claimants who were denied benefits at the initial level appealed the decision, and about two-thirds were awarded benefits." Translated: The Government denied them without merit, and is robbing the disabled in order to save money to spend on the Gay Lobby and other "important" matters.
Are you planning to retire with Social Security? In an article entitled Comptroller: Social Security Needs Changes, the Washington Post published an Associated Press (June 19 by Leigh Strope) piece on the woes of Social Security: "Social Security faces tremendous strain as the large baby boom generation retires in the coming decade, because fewer workers will be contributing to the system. Americans also are living longer, increasing the burden on the system. By 2017, Social Security will start paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes." (Emphasis added.) In fifteen years, Social Security will be utterly Americanized. It will pay out more than it takes in. Wow, what accounting procedure will save us?
The Washington Post again quotes the Associated Press (Jeannine Aversa, June 20, '02) in an article entitled, "U.S. Budget in $147.1B Hole." The title of the article seems to say that our government, bless it, is in the hole for $147 billion dollars. This, however, is not what the article says. What the article says is that we are in that hole for the first eight months of the budget year alone! The year has four more months to go, and the deficit is expected to rise much higher, at least by fifty percent. This, however, is most shocking when we realize that in last year's first eight months the government had a surplus of $137.1 billion dollars. Thus, the difference between the first eight months of this year and the first eight months of last year is a loss of quarter of a trillion dollars! Can you imagine someone whose business is declining by such fantastic leaps and bounds spending half a billion dollars? This money spend on AIDS in Africa has no chance at all of succeeding, because it failed in America and it will surely fail in Africa. However, when it comes to spending money on the Gay Lobby, America gives and is silent. When it comes to me getting robbed, or the disabled, or seniors without medicine, or hardworking Americans becoming ill and even dying without proper medical care because they have no insurance, America becomes all business. It says to the sick who can't afford doctors and the elderly who need medicine, "Drop dead."
America is almost bankrupt. For the past decades since America embraced programs to solve social ills despite its lack of funds to pay for them, the American debt has grown steadily and is now over six trillion dollars. The interest costs climb inexorably. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan warned in April of 2,001 that ten trillion dollars will be added to the national debt when people working today retire and collect social security. An official government statement this week revealed that America has no money set aside to pay for social security obligations. What will happen when we retire?
America spent 2 trillion dollars this year, but earned only 1.2 trillion. Of the 1.2 trillion from earnings, almost .4 trillion must be deducted to pay for interest on the national debt. This leaves an income of only .8 trillion to pay for 2 trillion dollars worth of expenditures. What business, what person can consume more than their income? America does it. America spends more than double what it earns, and is sinking in higher and higher debts.
What does America care? Politicians want to get elected, and they do this by spending money so people will like them. Eventually, all of those smiles will turn to tears. America is a monster Enron Corporation, although nobody is cooking the books. They are cooking the future.
Soviet Russia guaranteed everyone who wanted to work a job. The only problem is that it doesn't work, nor does socialism. Therefore, Russia, in the eighties, went capitalist. Meanwhile, at the same time, America went "Communist." It poured money out that it did not have. It incurred steadily rising debts with no way to repay them. For a while, its enormous power and prestige allowed it to do ridiculous things, because it could borrow and borrow. Nobody seems to notice that America survives financially only because foreigners lend her money. These foreigners will eventually have the ability to dictate interest rates, and even policies, to a helpless and almost bankrupt country.
A country that can't deal with someone being robbed, with the disabled, with people who can't go to the doctor, with people who can't buy medicine, is already bankrupt. However, the worst is yet to come.
Now that you know that your kids won't have the country that your parents left to you, why don't you go back to the TV and forget about it?
