| Our Government Supports Evil | |
|
How does our government deal with evil? The Washington Post on May
13, 2002, ran a story "Worked Till They Drop." It described how
young Chinese die in factories to feed the insatiable demands of foreign
companies and consumers. When Li Chunmei died, she had been on her feet for
nearly 16 hours, running, not walking, from machine to machine to
manufacture toys. She lay down, began to cough blood, and died. Are you
going to buy that toy for your children? Don't think that all of us are not
doing such things. We are supporting a monster, a killer, and we are doing
it with the connivance of our country that granted, within the year, Most
Favorable Status treatment to this slave state. China uses its enormous
earnings from American dollars to develop super-weapons of mass-destruction
and missiles. It then gives these to countries that want to use these
weapons against America. This is how our government deals with evil.
The article in the Post tells us that Chinese peasants earn about $25
a year, but must pay the government taxes of $37 a year. The only way to do
so and not get arrested is to force one's children to work. First, they work
at home and don't go to school, Then, uneducated and unable to earn very
much, they travel to the cities to work in factories. When Li Chunmei
worked, her company withheld money from her and thus robbed her. Managers
could impose fines for the smallest things. During peak season Li worked
sixty days straight and worked overtime, running, running, to feed the
American billionaires who make more money using Chinese slave labor than
they do using American labor under civilized conditions. When Li worked
overtime, the managers would simply write down fewer hours than she actually
worked, stealing from her so the foreign investors could improve their
returns.
The article says that American businesses who don't want blood on
their hands or more realistically, don't want to be seen with blood on their
hands, farm out work that results in great human suffering. They then claim,
as the company that employed Li did, "It is not our
responsibility." That is what our government feels, when it gives China
Most Favorable Nation trading status. It continues to encourage investment
there, money that could produce jobs in America, but is now producing death
in China.
When Li Chumnie died, her family, in order to pay government taxes,
must send the next sister to the factories. When she does, you will be able
to buy cheap goods. You will buy them, because no American company could
afford to buy ones that are more expensive. You won't pay the extra few
dollars, will you, and the American business has to make a living, right?
Our government deals with evil by making us pay for it.
Of course, there are those who say, "Who cares if Li or Lo drop
dead?" If you think that way (I hope you don't), and many do, let's
talk about evil closer to home.
The New York Times, on May 13, published an article by Matt Richtel
entitled "Credit Card Theft Thrives Online as Global Market." You
buy something online with a credit card. The talented thieves, mostly from
Russia and supported by Asians and Saudis, among others, crash the
merchant's customer base and copy credit cards. They sell them online. There
is such a glut of credit cards that they go for forty cents apiece. Five
thousand cards go for a thousand dollars. The cost to consumers is at least
a billion dollars a year, and some say that it is much larger than that, and
growing.
Some merchants are hurt badly, and their businesses are crippled.
What is the government doing? Is it forcing businesses that take credit
cards to provide proper security? So lax is American Internet security that
Russian hackers stole the latest Microsoft version of Windows. Now they know
all of its secrets and can easily penetrate its defenses. Lax security of
one business online can result in damage to others and to the economy.
The past week I received two phone calls from banks and online
businesses. Someone has my social security number, address and other
information and is applying for credit, credit cards and loans with it. Why
did the banks and credit agencies call me? What tipped them off? The fraud
sounds like an Arab, "not like a David," as the agent of the
credit agency told me. The credit agencies have the fraud's address and
phone number, and yet, they do nothing. I called the police and was told,
"We are a local police department, but we will look into it." They
are still looking. Really, it is not their business, and it is obvious not
the government's business. This is how the government looks out for us. Our
credit cards online, our social security numbers, are just there for the
whole world to take: Russians, Arabs, Asians, anyone. Don't forget the local
criminals. Our government is not doing anything about this. How important it
is to nab someone like this, talking on the phone, asking for a credit card
to be sent to an address, but, it requires some legal and police footwork.
The government can't be bothered with evil.
Joe Bonanna knew that. When Joe died peacefully at home at the age of
97, the Associated Press ran a length article about him. It shows that crime
pays in America. Joe headed America's Mafia for generations. At the age of
26, he was an officer of the Mafia Crime Commission, representing the
Gambino, Lucchese, Colombo, and Bonanna families. For thirty years of
"enforcing," heroin dealing and who knows what else, Joe never
went to jail. Only when he retired did he spend a few years in jail for
civil contempt of court and obstruction of justice. How many Americans
became drug addicts because of this monster? How many people were murdered
because of his ambitions? You say, "It's not about me," but
Business Week magazine ran an article a year or two ago about two armed
gangsters coming into a stockbroker's office insisting on its selling and
not selling certain stocks. The gangsters were filmed by the office video,
and the police were notified, but the police were not interested. They were
too busy running after some half-crazed man urinating in the street. New
York City was involved in improving "quality of life" and was not
interested in armed mobsters controlling the stock market. Meanwhile, the
Mafia made a killing by manipulating the price of a stock, and it could be
you that lost out.
Joe Bonanna was not content to make millions from heroin, loan
sharking and gambling. He entered the legal business world with huge
investments in garment manufacturing, cheese, dairy farms and real estate.
Can you imagine what his competitors did in the legal world when they saw
him coming? Does that concern you? Our
government is not interested because you are not. Throughout America, the
underworld is ingratiating itself into legitimate businesses, where it can
launder its illicit money and expand its operations. Who will compete with a
business run by murderers? Throughout the country, the government hires the
Mafia companies to provide many public services such as garbage disposal.
The government takes your tax dollar and feeds the hands that steal from us
and destroy society.
However, the greatest failure of government is about AIDS, a terrible
plague spread by the political efforts of the Gay Lobby. The Gay Lobby
convinced many state governments, such as New York and California, to remove
HIV and AIDS from the state list of infectious diseases. (That's right. In
New York State, AIDS and HIV are not on the official infectious disease
list.) They then convinced the state to declare HIV and AIDS a civil rights
cause, so that those who spread it are considered the victims of society's
homophobia. Billions of your dollars have gone to the Gay Lobby. They make
programs teaching homosexuals how to have more exciting sex, and you pay for
it. They do this on the fraudulent claim of AIDS education. Remember, you
pay for it. You also pay for the public school programs that teach sex to
young children. Part of the evil of that is that parents who don't approve
of the gay agenda are described as evil and inciters. We pay money to teach
children to hate their church and parents. We pay money to teach young
children to love fisting and to detest the bible. (Don't ask what fisting
is. This is not the fifth grade in a public school.)
Well, you respond, what is so terrible if we give the gays some
money? We have plenty of it. Sorry about that. We don't. The Associated
Press on May 14, '02 reported, "Treasury Shifting Funds to Dodge
Default on National Debt." Do we have enough money in this country? The
article says that the present debt limit is $5.95 trillion. And we need 750
billion dollars more! That is 6.5 trillion dollars! Can we comprehend what
six trillion of anything is? (A trillion is a thousand billion. A billion is
a thousand million.) America has roughly 300 million people, and
collectively they owe 6 trillion dollars. This comes out to $20,000 per
person. The burden to pay taxes is not born by everyone. Therefore, those
who pay taxes must support the national debt not only for themselves, but
also for the many people who don't pay taxes. If you support a family of
four, you must support a portion of the national debt that comes out to
$80,000. How much of that is real? Real or not, it is paying interest.
Foreign investors have bought billions of dollars of interest paying bonds,
and you are going to pay that interest, and the principal, or else your
country will re-finance, and pay higher interest and more in debt to
foreigners. How
did the government get into such a mess? One reason is the Gay Lobby.
We have about a million people in America infected with HIV, or AIDS.
The number exploded by over seventy percent in New York City recently, and
the rate nationally of new infections is going up over 25% annually, from
forty thousand to fifty thousand, according to the CDC's latest figures. The
cost, for medicines alone, for one sick person per year is about 15k. To
cure people will cost more, for doctors, hospitals, "education,"
social work, etc. If we have to pay 15k or more per each of the
approximately one million people infected with HIV, how much does that cost?
That is fifteen billion dollars, just for one year! We just fork it over,
and this is why we are in such debt. Let's look again at those national debt
figures.
According to the Associated Press, the government is now in a crisis,
switching around funds just like they did at Enron, to prevent default. How
much more money must be added to the 5.95 trillion dollar debt for
government to borrow more (at interest) and survive? Treasury Secretary
Neil, quoted in the article, wants $750 billion dollars. That's almost
another trillion dollars. In other words, the government needs to up its
debt by about one eighth to survive. Did you ever have to re-finance your
life with an increase of one eighth in one year? Wasn't this the government
that assured us that the way to prosperity was a tax cut? Now it finds out
that we are not making enough money from taxes, that is, the system is not
supporting the huge outlays for the gay lobby and other such things. Don't
forget the large U.S. firms that are becoming incorporated in Bermuda to
avoid paying taxes on all international dealings, as presented recently in
the New York Times in an article by Mr. Krugman. The economy cannot sustain
itself in the face of rapacious gangsters, credit card fraud, huge
businesses going to China to wax fat upon dying youngsters, and the fact
that you don't give a damn.
As long as our government knows that you are there to pick up the
tab, it will support evil.
