Corrupted!: 5 Shocking Examples Of Government Corruption That Will Blow Your Mind
By Michael, on April 14th, 2011
At times it really is breathtaking how corrupted the U.S. government has become. Government corruption has become so endemic in our society that most people have just kind of accepted it as "normal". But shouldn't we all get hopping mad when we learn that the Federal Reserve sent billions of dollars in bailout money to addresses in the Cayman Islands? Shouldn't we all be furious when one of the leading candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney, declares that he is "not going to spend my time focusing on the Federal Reserve"? Shouldn't we all be alarmed when Nancy Pelosi gives a speech in which she says that "elections shouldn't matter"? Shouldn't we all demand that someone be held accountable when we find out that a CBO analysis shows that the "$38.5 billion" in spending cuts will only reduce the budget deficit for this year by $352 million dollars? On top of everything else, shouldn't we all be absolutely horrified when the TSA gropes little 6 year old girls and virtually none of our politicians demand change?
$38.5 Billion In Budget Cuts Is Really Just $352 Million In Deficit Reduction?
Yesterday I wrote about how a close examination of the "budget cut deal" reveals that the 38.5 billion dollars in budget cuts are largely illusory.
However, even I was not ready for what the Congressional Budget Office had to say about this deal. What I read in the Washington Post today absolutely floored me. According to the Washington Post, the Congressional Budget Office is saying that the budget deal will only cut the budget deficit for this year by less than one percent of what was being claimed by Republican and Democrat leaders....
The Congressional Budget Office estimate shows that compared with current spending rates the spending bill due for a House vote Thursday would pare just $352 million from the deficit through Sept. 30. About $8 billion in cuts to domestic programs and foreign aid are offset by nearly equal increases in defense spending.
What a joke.
The reality is that U.S. government is increasing by over 2 million dollars every single minute. So the entire "savings" from this "budget deal" will account for approximately 3 hours of government spending.
Look, the U.S. government ran a budget deficit of $188 billion dollars for the month of March alone. We are in debt up to our eyeballs and it is getting worse at a mind blowing pace.
When are people going to wake up and realize that neither political party is the least bit serious about dealing with our debt problem any time soon?
The Federal Reserve Sent Billions In Bailout Aid To Millionaires and Billionaires In The Cayman Islands
Most Americans don't even understand what the Federal Reserve is, and yet they get to throw trillions of dollars around while being more or less completely unaccountable the entire time.
In a new article for Rolling Stone (which is a must read), Matt Taibbi exposes some of the folks that the Federal Reserve has been sending money to....
The Fed sent billions in bailout aid to banks in places like Mexico, Bahrain and Bavaria, billions more to a spate of Japanese car companies, more than $2 trillion in loans each to Citigroup and Morgan Stanley, and billions more to a string of lesser millionaires and billionaires with Cayman Islands addresses. "Our jaws are literally dropping as we're reading this," says Warren Gunnels, an aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. "Every one of these transactions is outrageous."
How in the world does it benefit the American people to send billions of dollars to some ultra-wealthy people down in the Cayman Islands?
In light of what we have already found out, it is absolutely amazing that Congress is still refusing to authorize a complete audit of the Federal Reserve.
The corruption of the Fed is crying out to be investigated.
Unfortunately, many of our top politicians are openly declaring that they have no intention of going after the Federal Reserve.
Mitt Romney Declares That He Will Not Be Going After Ben Bernanke Or The Federal Reserve
In case anyone needs one more sign that Mitt Romney is just another shill for the establishment, just check out the two statements by Romney below.
According to Politico, Romney recently told CNBC's Larry Kudlow that he is not concerned about the Federal Reserve at all....
"I think Ben Bernanke is a student of monetary policy; he's doing as good a job as he thinks he can do," Romney said when Kudlow asked what kind of job Bernanke is doing. "I'm not going to spend my time going after Ben Bernanke. I'm not going to spend my time focusing on the Federal Reserve."
That's just great. The Republican candidate with perhaps the greatest amount of "establishment support" says that he thinks that Bernanke is doing a good job and he does not plan to spend any time focusing on the Federal Reserve.
So if Romney gets in the Federal Reserve will continue to be able to dish out trillions to their friends without any interference.
Nancy Pelosi Declares That "Elections Shouldn't Matter"
How are we supposed to respond when the top Democrat in the House of Representatives declares that "elections shouldn't matter as much as they do"?
During a recent speech, Pelosi implored establishment Republicans to "take back your party" so that elections won't "matter" as much....
To my Republican friends: take back your party. So that it doesn’t matter so much who wins the election, because we have shared values about the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country, our security and civil liberties, how we respect our seniors. Because there are so many things at risk right now — perhaps in another question I’ll go into them, if you want. But the fact is that elections shouldn’t matter as much as they do… But when it comes to a place where there doesn’t seem to be shared values then that can be problematic for the country, as I think you can see right now.
Apparently what Pelosi wants is for America to go back to a time when all of us just went along with the false left/right paradigm and when we were all content to sleep while the establishment agenda rolled right along.
Well guess what Nancy? Some of us are starting to wake up.
6 Year Old Girl Molested By The TSA
How far have we fallen as a nation when a 6 year old girl has to have her private areas touched in public by the TSA before she is allowed to get on an airplane?
America is becoming a very strange place.
The following is video that was posted on YouTube of the recent incident involving a 6 year old girl....
So is this what we have become as a nation?
Will we subject ourselves to anything as long as the authorities insist that it will keep us a little bit safer?
Pretty soon America is going to be unrecognizable.
I have previously written about how in one town in Missouri, girls scouts have actually been banned from selling girl scout cookies in their own front yards.
How crazy is that?
In Cleveland, authorities haves announced plans to have "trash supervisors" go snooping through trash cans to ensure that people are actually recycling according to city guidelines.
The control freaks we keep voting into office seem to have an obsession with running ever detail of our lives.
In many areas of the nation we aren't even allowed to do acts of kindness anymore.
For example, in Houston, Texas a couple named Bobby and Amanda Herring that had been feeding homeless people for over a year has been banned by the city from doing so.
So what is next?
Are they going to ban kids from taking lunches to school?
It is already happening....
At one public school in the Chicago area, children have been banned from bringing their lunches from home. Instead, it is mandatory that they eat the food that the cafeteria serves.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve gets to create trillions of dollars out of thin air and they get to send it to whoever they want.
What a country we have, eh?
Our system has become corrupted beyond all recognition. Government corruption is out of control and it is getting worse with each passing day.
So when are the American people going to get sick of all this nonsense?
When are....
Wait.
American Idol is on tonight.
Perhaps all of this can just wait for another time.
After all, who wants to miss what J-Lo and Steven Tyler are going to say tonight?
Those two are really a couple of characters!
Our leaders know what they are doing, right?
We can trust our politicians to act in our best interest, right?
So instead of writing about all of this "doom and gloom", perhaps I should just lighten up and focus on fun things like American Idol a little bit more.
The corruption will continue as long as idiots like Gary2 and ImpeachRonPaul are allowed to vote. Anyone who voted for Obama, a Marxist community organizer, for PRESIDENT (!) should have their right to vote stripped.

I think you should give more time to Dancing with the Star’s. They are not getting equal press on this website and I think Congress should look into how unfair you are. Yes this is what we have become.
A day of revolution is coming and it won’t be pretty. Republican or democrat they control the ballot box and they are two sides of the same coin.
We have not had free markets for the last 98 years. Most politician for the last 98 years are all guilty of defrauding the citizens of the United States.

I am so scared right now..but dunno if i am more scared for me and my family or those not awake to what is going on out there. Calling mr Bernanke a criminal when he is doing what he is told by the elite… when will people wake up to all of this.

America has a choice to vote in Ron Paul in 2012 and stop the Fed and all its corruption..he is the only politician that is willing to audit and stop the FED. I believe that is the reason why all the media have a smear campaign against him whenever he runs for President.
Ron Paul is the only one who actually has sane economic ideas. I suggest you read “How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes” by Peter D. Schiff – it is an easy to read explanation of how economics actually works in the real world. And the Fed (and their ideological ilk) is the root cause of every economic disaster we have been subjected to – right, who would want to get rid of the cause of so many economic problems. And actually it is the Fed that is MOST responsible for undermining the value of the dollar. The only thing necessary to “regulate” the currency is to STOP PRINTING MORE – and printing more is one of the core functions of the Fed that goes directly to inflation and undermining the value of the dollar. The government uses the Fed to steal your money out of you savings account and give it to government. If you like the government stealing your savings, then by all means keep the Fed.
Ron Paul wants to bring our troops home, end our medling in other countries, quit giving millions to keep these other countries friendly when many of our own fellow americans are starving , abolish the IRS, end Nafta. Now what part of these ideas are wrong..How many americans could have been fed with the just the money lost in Iraq.
All of Ron Paul’s haters think electing him would destroy the country because he wants to go back to the gold standard, slash the government, and balance the budget. What’s funny is how these same people don’t realize the road of ruin we are on right now with trillion dollar deficits and a soaring national debt. Somehow I doubt electing Ron Paul would be worse than where this country would end up with another 20 years of the same old, same old. It’s time for radical change in D.C.

If you’re in the U.S., there is probably a TEA Party rally near you, tomorrow, April 15th. Find it and show up. There is little real organization, (very much like herding cats) and there are many “TEA Party” websites. Take 5 minutes, find the closest rally and go. You won’t regret it.
The media constantly plays down the numbers, but if you fail to show up, they’ll quickly report that you gave up and that you now embrace the corrupt state. If you have to work and can’t get time off (which is why the April 15th rallies haven’t been even bigger over the last two years), ask any friends or family that can get the day off to go.

Ron Paul would be a bad choice for president and I see that rand Paul voted for the attack on libya. the guy is a professional politican and just tell you what you want to hear. His voting record means nothing because he has been in congress for years and did nothing when bush privatize prisons in Texas.
Matt
Its time we DEFEAT every liberal Republican and Democrat and Independent in America and put them in their place – on the couch watching American Idol. Its time we tax EVERYONE over 21 at $3000 per year with no deductions to pay for govt services. Tax Gary2 $6000 per year since he likes taxes.

The TSA has gone too far. A 6 year old girl gets gropped by the TSA. This little girl has no idea why she is being gropped either. Where is her protection.
The Federal Reserve needs to be gone. The U.S. Treasury needs to write a check to Federal Reserve for what we owe and say the debt is now paid in full. We are done with you.

Otown right guy please get off Obama’s case and quit watching FOX.
Been following all these hidden stories for several years. Everything that was predicied have all come true.
Now add to the mix climate chang.epeak oil. & inflation.
Our Government & Suprme court all owned by Corps, Koch & Koch, Oil, and the puppets dance for their puppetmasters.
Sad but no one seems to care just give them high tech toys and that’s happiness.
WAKE UP NOW!!!!!!
impeachRonPaul
As long as right wing bigots like Otown right guy vote, we will not gain freedom. They want a religous police state.
Ron Paul caters only to the rich and wants personal freedom replaced with christian extremism. Republicans do not want to regulate corporations but want to regulate American families. Hands off our freedom. Vote democrat!

Many of us ARE sick of all this nonsense. I have been molested by the TSA. What can you do? Most of us cannot afford to go to jail or hire an attorney so we comply. Here in TX. It is not unusual to see three cop car / motorcycles on one intersection. Look up and you see multiple cameras watching you. Now they are putting cameras on each of the Police officers, or should I say Gestapo members. In fact the local government is cutting teachers left and ramping up the goon squad. You see, we are all suspected terrorists. Expect random stops to search your vehicle. You will hear “for your safety” more and more. Ya, I’m sick of it but what am I going to do? Write a letter to my Senator? What a joke!
xander cross
Ron Paul is corrupted as well. After all, he is indeed, a professional politican. Also, Rand Paul voted for the attacks on Libya and you all continue to support the pauls as well. What has Ron Paul actually done in his many years as an congressman and don’t tell that he voted on this and that, because it does not mean anything if nothing gets done. What I don’t get is that you all claim to be against the governmnet and yet, worship certain politicans that fit your ideals. Weird
xander cross
Pelosi is correct, elections don’t matter because your leaders are already selected for you. But no, you all really think that Ron Paul is not in on it. Just simply amamzing that politicans can lie and get away with. I am against all politicans because they lie all the time for their own agenda and this inclues both ron and rand paul.

This a great article. You have outlined the problems quite well. I think that we all know at this point that the sheeple are not going to do anything. There will need be some type of cataclysmic event to change our situation for the better. I believe that that event is not too far into the future. Now is the time to begin to prepare to face those dark and dismal days. I spotted these problems festering many years ago and I feel quite sorry for the ones that are not as prepared as I am. But there is no time like the present to begin. Remember, the future belongs to the prepared.

I am at a point where I will vote for a third party candidate in 2012 (I am a registered Independent, by the way). I had flickering hope for Romney; that is now gone. I intend to be doing a lot of research on Paul, Trump, Cain, and others.
Mark
My vote is for Jesse Ventura in 2012. Some one with the moxie to actually shut down the ‘system’ we now if in place.
j r
I am 100% confident that the American people will rise to the occasion and vote more Republicans and Democrats into office. This country is long beyond hope. Nothing will change until some catastrophe kills off 98% of the sheeple and maybe a new society can rise from the ashes.
In the meantime I predict in 2012 the Republicans will run their usual dogshit candidates and BO will win reelection.
Happy reader
First of all, I will not use my children to draw attention to the idiocy of the TSA. Parents need to protect their children and if that means not having them fly then so be it. Let us adults do the fighting for our freedom, not our children. I am just as angry at those parents.
Second, I love Ron Paul. I do fear though that if we actually got him elected AND he was able to bring home our troops AND he was able to stop supporting other countries then we would immediately be attacked by other nations. We bail out so many countries that if we took away their welfare money then they will riot. Just like spoiled Americans who live on the teat of our once great Nation.
Third, I pray we can bring our country to what it should be. I don’t think that is going to happen without a lot of loss of life and property. It is going to be rough ride. I hope we make it to the other side but I don’t think many of us are going to. I am willing to lose my life for freedom but I know a lot of people who are not.

Wow. I thought Canadian politics were bad enough… But you guys (americans) are f*cked.
Doug Casey said this on his website yesterday:
“…running an active business is increasingly problematical. Unless it’s a special situation, I’d be inclined to sell a business, take the money, and run. It’s Atlas Shrugged time.”
Atlas Shrugged time! That’s pretty extreme.
He was speaking specifically to running a business in Amerika, but it appears maybe his statement could be applied more broadly.
I’m starting to wonder if these big walls Homeland inSecurity wants to build on the borders are really to prevent people escaping the US with the remnants of their wealth sometime in the near future.
Kevin Beck
A few thoughts:
1. Nancy Pelosi should have issued her comments about “elections don’t really matter” in the late summer of 2008; then maybe there is a possibility that we wouldn’t have the travesty of a president we are stuck with for the next two years.
2. Romney’s stance on the Feral Reserve (I mean Federal) shows him to be inept as a leader, and totally corrupt as a politician. He deserves absolutely zero support from everyone in the nation next year.
3. To ImpeachRonPaul: What the heck are you rambling about? Your rant makes no sense, and is the most inflammatory thing I have read this week. Not that I really care, because there are probably fewer people here that would even consider it a rational thought.
4. For our nation to be under the molestation of the Thousands Standing Around is sick. That group of neanderthals should not be allowed anywhere near a human; the reason for their agency’s existence is misdiagnosed, and their fearless leader Janet Incompetano is a political hack of the worst order. She exemplifies the uselessness of the nanny state in this nation, and shows how effective it is to fight the last war. Water balloons, anyone? Oops…those might be mistaken for prosthetic breasts. Pens, anyone? Oh, no…you cannot bring those hypodermic needles on the plane. And if our useless ruler gets his wish about high-speed trains, you can be certain these goons will be controlling the access points there, also.
Enough ranting for today. Now I have to get back to Iron Chef America.
I can think of a good combination:
1. Ron Paul – President
2. Jesse Ventura – VP
3. Chuck Norris – Secretary of State
Regardless of what you think, they are AMERICANS. It’s time to clean house!! And they all have their birth certificates!!

BTW, you are SO right about the American Idol stuff.

You never uttered a teeny tiny little peep from your little beaks when bushjunior and your republicon buddies rammed the so called patriot act through to take away your precious constitutional rights. Nooo, just whine like little babies about the damlibruls not standing up for the country when they said the whole homeland security mess was a bad thing. Now we see where it leads and you chickenhawks are blowing your hot air at everybody except your spoiled frat boy that started it. You did not say a word when your boy bailed out the banksters either.
After the debacle known as the regime of the little bushjunior boy and president cheney, let alone the disaster for the country when the failed movie actor reagan became president, you wrong wingers have nothing of value to add to the discussion. You need to be quiet and let the adults clean up the mess you created. All you teabaggers are just a bunch of windbags and loudmouthed blowhards in love with the sound of your own voices.

Ya know, I have to point something out about the TSA searching/frisking the kid. If the rule is changed to “we will not frisk babies or children” or “we will not touch a pregnant woman” – then, mark my words, there’ll be a terrorist somewhere thinking/designing the next bomb concealed in a fake pregnancy outfit or designed to fit in a baby’s diaper or a 6-year old girl’s clothing. Unfortunately, that’s the way the terrorists operate. If the lameass liberals would get off their PC kick, we could search Muslim children and Muslim babies and Muslim women with a little more scrutiny than the all-American girl in this video. Seriously, I wouldn’t put it past a Muslim terrorist to kill his own child by cutting it in half, and wrap the top half of the baby in a blanket along with a bomb. Then pretend the baby is sleeping so TSA won’t disturb it. We’re dealing with sickos, ya know. That’s why babies, children, EVERYONE has to be checked. If we change the rules so that little girls aren’t to be checked out, a terrorist could simply abduct a little girl, train her to carry out his plot, then walk right through TSA with her. Ya gotta think of these things.

Wait til you see what’s coming:
1. The Tea Party is going to say NO raising the debt limit.
2. The Obama admin. is going to panic.
3. China, to whom we owe a trillion or so, will propose a deal: there is nearly a trillion worth of gold just sitting in old Ft. Knox, doing nothing; let us have it, and we will cancel the entire debt you owe us — then you will again be well under your debt limit again, and can go on spending like fools.
4. Obama and all the gold-haters in DC breathe a great sigh of relief and ship the gold off to Beijing.
5. China then has more gold than any nation on
Earth, and puts the Renminbi on the gold standard. It automatically becomes the reserve currency for the world, and China becomes the economic super-power.
6. The dollar and the Euro collapse, since they have no gold backing. A handful of other countries have enough gold to come out fairly well — India, France, Russia, a couple of the Middle Easterners — but everyone else becomes economic vassals of China.
Impossible?
Don’t bet on it.

Here’s a 6th piece of corruption… a man who has spent $2 million ensuring that nobody sees any of his records from birth, through school, and beyond – and he gets nominated without proper vetting. That’s corruption.
Or here’s another – there are 192 countries in the world, we give away money to 150 of them. Billions and billions of our tax dollars are just given away. Sometimes to countries whose people dance in the street and celebrate when we are attacked. Where in the constitution does it give our govt the authority to take our money and give it away to other countries? I’d call that treason, or aiding/abetting the enemy.

this is going to come to a head real soon! and the minority radical party is going down..we are so tired of the rebellion aganst any type of rightious living..we are tired of the sleep with the one your with and do it if it feels good generation..wood stock was not good enough, that whole calimaty is what these people want the whole nation to look like..if gropping a 6 yr old is not bad enough wait until they figure out how to justify having sex with her..nambla already has..if there is something evil to do they seek it. the only thing that keeps them from doing what is in there corrupt hearts is not knowing how society will react. do you think the buttons aren’t being pushed? we are just a science project to see what they can get away with..i think we are sending a message of anything..for bad things to happen it just takes good people to do nothing..soon sex education will be hands on real soon..while we save the trees and murder the children…adopt sharia law…outlaw the ten commandments..snub your friends , cuddle your enemies..google, Georgia guide stones..freaky! scary..

It is pointless to try to reform the Federal government through Federal elections. The only hope for reform is nullification, applied at the state level. Read up on the Principles of ’98 (1798), then contact your state representatives and ask them to nullify unconstitutional Federal laws.

Well even if I had thought of looking at Romney, this would certainly elminate any thoughts of him as a serious candidate. I am so tired of Republicans that turn out to be RINOs…in both their comments and their voting record. I love Ron Paul and his son….and a second choice would be The Donald. Things about him I don’t like but he sounds more like an American than the others.

Re: AlwaysRIGHT. Frisking at the security check point is useless. A terrorist could easily just walk into the crowded terminal, detonate his bomb, and kill more people than if he actually boarded the plane. This is a TOTAL waste of money.

It is time for WE THE PEOPLE to stand up against the corrupt government, politicians and Elite. WE THE PEOPLE the majority have the power to stand together and take back our freedom!!
So what are we waiting for, lets do it. A revolution is upon us and freedom we will know again. Out with the corruption and back into the arms of american’s that still believe in our country and freedom.

This is neither a republican or democratic issue. The american people are being brain washed by the media and corporate america into a life time of debt servitude. THE BILLIONS THAT FLOAT AROUND WASHINGTON ARE JUST TOO TEMPTING FOR THE AVERAGE JOE POLITICIAN-THEY ARE ALL BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. This is exactly what Jefferson and the rest of the founding fathers feared: A gigantic-enormous bank whose actions dictate every nuance in our lives. Let’s include the cost of a 4-year college tuition into the CPI and see how much higher the CPI really is. The sh!!t will hit the fan, it is just a matter of time.

Wow, did you see how Zakk Wylde (guitarist) played for that Durbin guy on American Idol last night? That was awesome!!
Seriously, though…
Ron Paul would be an ideal candidate for President in 2012. But he’ll never get nominated, much less elected.
Why? The sheeple are pretty much programmed to believe a third party candidate is a wasted vote. So they vote either Republican or Democrat. Maybe Ron Paul would have half a chance if he declared his party to be Republican, or even Democratic for that matter. As it stands now, he is considered by the masses as a conspiracy theory kook and nut case, who needs to be thrown in with Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones in the same lions’ den. Let them fight it out amongst themselves. Purr! Meow! Growl! And now, back to American Idol! Which couple got eliminated this week? Tune in after our next commercial break!
Maybe an honest politician (<– oxymoron in most cases!!) will be elected, and save us from the coming financial, moral and ethical debacle which confronts the U.S. now. I doubt it though. Politics in America is more like a competition to be high school prom king than anything else.
Don't believe it? Obama won the presidential election based on popularity due to his good looks, and charisma (Obama Girl, anyone?!) Lots of Facebook posts and Twitter tweets – "oh, he's so handsome! You gotta vote for Obama!!" — and people fell for the hype. Not many people did their research, and tried to find out what this guy was really about. He was one of the most liberal members of the Senate, the birth certificate controversy, etc.
Oh yeah, don't forget that Nobel Peace prize. Spare me the laughing gas, I don't need it. Nothing like dropping bombs on Libya to merit a peace prize (yes, I know that was awarded to Obama a couple years ago, while he was still riding that whole "hope and change" wave… but still….!)
Maybe – hopefully – we will elect someone who is actually capable of the job in 2012. But I'm not holding my breath for much longer. I'm already choking for air…

True about Ron Paul and the MSM. Even Rush says that all you have to do is listen the the politicos and the MSM to know who they fear the most. The establishment will do all it can to make jokes out of them.

Republicans want to search you at the airport, tap your phones, control womens bodies and determine reproductive rights. Republicans want to judge who can get married, who can serve in the armed forces and who gets special tax benefits. Republicans want to ban medical marajuana and also ban health care. Hey republicans get your hands off our freedoms!

Yes, please resort to writing about Dancing with the Stars and Lady Gaga. We Americans are stupid and lazy and only want comforting lies. Stop bringing everyone down.

Fed Up
Here’s another deep corruption:
Our government is suing a state (Arizona) because it is trying to protect it’s citizens because the federal government won’t enforce its immigration laws because the Dems don’t want to lose the ever-increasing Hispanic vote and the Repubs don’t want to lose the cheap labor for big business.
So AZ has to pay for the Feds incompetence and corruption with increased crime to its citizens and billions in financial drain to support the illegals and the drug cartels and now the expense of a law suit from the Feds!
This is being done to threaten other states so they won’t try to protect THEIR citizens like AZ had the balls to do

Just tax the rich. Tax the rich. Spread the wealth around. Tax and spread, tax and spread. Simple.

The corruption seems to be rampant from the lowest levels of goverment to the very top.The 6 year old being groped by the TSA is sickening.Whats really sad is this all could of been prevented by a simple security net which would of weighted less then the little girl and cost less to produce then one days pay for a TSA employee.The workers in the aviation industry since atleast the late 70′s have expressed their concerns about unwanted intruders being able to enter the cockpit with very little effort.The FAA instead totally ignored the situation,Why is anyones guess?It makes me wonder how the world would be now if 911 could of been prevented by eliminating access to the cockpit and therefore control of the plane.

Hopefully the debt ceiling will kill some of this crap. I can’t fathom any country willing to loans us more money that they will never see again. If they raise the debt ceiling, it will be the death of the U.S.

As for the frisking the little girl, you all know what to do about this. STOP using the airlines. They are already bleeding money from the high fuel and security costs. If everyone would stop using the airlines, the government would be forced to direct money to the development of the railroads. We need the rails to transport food, goods and people. The airlines won’t be around much longer to do this. The trucking industry is also going to go the way of the airlines as the cost of fuel increases.

The video of the girl being patted down is painful to watch. It also shows that Al-Quaida achieved exactly what they wanted.

Donald Trump is looking better and better all the time. Trouble is he may end up running as a third party candidate and give the election to Obama

At best, Mitt Romney is a displaced Soap Opera leading man in search of a new show. More accurately, how could we ever trust a rich kid who wears that funny Mormon underwear?
Pedro
Isn’t he from wall street? To my fellow Americans, that is those who are different from the Democrat/communist/progressive, anti American inhabitants of the US territory, with the advent of great technology video,take pictures etc of all the leftist/liberals/anti-Americans to use against them because they can’t ever! have a real debate ABOUT ANYTHING THAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY WORK! Let the TRUTH SET US ALL FREE! Sempra FI!

Impeach Obama!

2 things
1.It takes more than one person to change Congress
2. Obama went to war with Libya without a Congressional vote, so how Did Rand Paul vote for it????!!
A flawed system can’t survive for long in this world. Certain laws of nature are being violated. Our government and financial system is doomed to fail. The question is what does failure mean? What will it look like when it implodes? Failure is certain, how the future unravels is not.

It is quite clear that the USA is being run from behind the scenes, whichever puppet party is in power. The agenda remains the same. The state of political morality is almost non-existent, whilst the masses are treated to a barrage of lifestyle distractions. Materialism seems to be winning the war to control peoples thoughts and desires, and the elites are grinning from ear to ear. God knows how things can change in the USA. The only true politician that anyone with an ounce of humanity could vote for is Ron Paul….but the media is God, and too many believe what God has to say….
“what God wants, God gets, God help us all!”

Actually, Pelosi is almost correct. Elections don’t matter. If the choice is between criminal element “A” or criminal element “B”, the choice doesn’t matter, especially when both parties are wholly owned by finance and AIPAC.
Tom Reiley
None of this is surprizing. The electorate in America has become a huge herd of sheep. The shepards are the hosts of American Idol, Oprah, The View and all the rest. No wonder our political leaders dress themselves like game show hosts. We sit back and listen to all this BS because we are comfortable. Even when 6 year olds get groped or when our school students have go through metal detectors to enter their school. All this is happening one small piece at a time. A day is comming when fixing this will no longer be possible. I pray that enough of us grow the pair necessary to put “Political Correctness” where it belongs and speak out while there is still time. America’s financial problems are nothing more than a symptom of the moral problem that is generations deep in our country. We have become a society of “horay for me” self seeking individuals. That needs to change or we are indeed doomed.

Simple, nationalise the fed and all of its branches.

Children molested by TSA
The ultimate submission to violence by the citizens of the U.S. is the acceptance of children being molested. The will of the people is so weak that they actually allow perverts to molest children. There is no rage no anger they all just stand and watch.
Weak and cowardly citizens make it a fact that the government now owns them body and soul, and any degradation they wish to impose they will.
There is nothing so terrible as children being sexually molested but people just accept it because the government says it is necessary. This is complete insanity!!
In a sane world this would never happen because the people themselves would not allow it – if it meant tearing the airport terminal apart it just would not happen. Instead they allow filthy dirty government employees to view their naked bodies and molest their children. Unbelievable.

The sick flick of the little girl is gross, they want you to think this is to protect us from terrorists , but really they are searching for money, they are so afraid we will try to get the dollar into another currency , the dogs we see at the international airports are not bomb sniffers they are money sniffers , so much for man’s best friend !!
If you think it’s bad know , wait till they replace the dollar as the world reserve currency , $25 a gallon , $10 for one ear of corn, ect,
Just shameful , greed
Corrupted!: 5 Shocking Examples Of Government Corruption That Will Blow Your Mind
$38.5 Billion In Budget Cuts Is Really Just $352 Million In Deficit Reduction?
Yesterday I wrote about how a close examination of the "budget cut deal" reveals that the 38.5 billion dollars in budget cuts are largely illusory.
However, even I was not ready for what the Congressional Budget Office had to say about this deal. What I read in the Washington Post today absolutely floored me. According to the Washington Post, the Congressional Budget Office is saying that the budget deal will only cut the budget deficit for this year by less than one percent of what was being claimed by Republican and Democrat leaders....
What a joke.
The reality is that U.S. government is increasing by over 2 million dollars every single minute. So the entire "savings" from this "budget deal" will account for approximately 3 hours of government spending.
Look, the U.S. government ran a budget deficit of $188 billion dollars for the month of March alone. We are in debt up to our eyeballs and it is getting worse at a mind blowing pace.
When are people going to wake up and realize that neither political party is the least bit serious about dealing with our debt problem any time soon?
The Federal Reserve Sent Billions In Bailout Aid To Millionaires and Billionaires In The Cayman Islands
Most Americans don't even understand what the Federal Reserve is, and yet they get to throw trillions of dollars around while being more or less completely unaccountable the entire time.
In a new article for Rolling Stone (which is a must read), Matt Taibbi exposes some of the folks that the Federal Reserve has been sending money to....
How in the world does it benefit the American people to send billions of dollars to some ultra-wealthy people down in the Cayman Islands?
In light of what we have already found out, it is absolutely amazing that Congress is still refusing to authorize a complete audit of the Federal Reserve.
The corruption of the Fed is crying out to be investigated.
Unfortunately, many of our top politicians are openly declaring that they have no intention of going after the Federal Reserve.
Mitt Romney Declares That He Will Not Be Going After Ben Bernanke Or The Federal Reserve
In case anyone needs one more sign that Mitt Romney is just another shill for the establishment, just check out the two statements by Romney below.
According to Politico, Romney recently told CNBC's Larry Kudlow that he is not concerned about the Federal Reserve at all....
That's just great. The Republican candidate with perhaps the greatest amount of "establishment support" says that he thinks that Bernanke is doing a good job and he does not plan to spend any time focusing on the Federal Reserve.
So if Romney gets in the Federal Reserve will continue to be able to dish out trillions to their friends without any interference.
Nancy Pelosi Declares That "Elections Shouldn't Matter"
How are we supposed to respond when the top Democrat in the House of Representatives declares that "elections shouldn't matter as much as they do"?
During a recent speech, Pelosi implored establishment Republicans to "take back your party" so that elections won't "matter" as much....
Apparently what Pelosi wants is for America to go back to a time when all of us just went along with the false left/right paradigm and when we were all content to sleep while the establishment agenda rolled right along.
Well guess what Nancy? Some of us are starting to wake up.
6 Year Old Girl Molested By The TSA
How far have we fallen as a nation when a 6 year old girl has to have her private areas touched in public by the TSA before she is allowed to get on an airplane?
America is becoming a very strange place.
The following is video that was posted on YouTube of the recent incident involving a 6 year old girl....
So is this what we have become as a nation?
Will we subject ourselves to anything as long as the authorities insist that it will keep us a little bit safer?
Pretty soon America is going to be unrecognizable.
I have previously written about how in one town in Missouri, girls scouts have actually been banned from selling girl scout cookies in their own front yards.
How crazy is that?
In Cleveland, authorities haves announced plans to have "trash supervisors" go snooping through trash cans to ensure that people are actually recycling according to city guidelines.
The control freaks we keep voting into office seem to have an obsession with running ever detail of our lives.
In many areas of the nation we aren't even allowed to do acts of kindness anymore.
For example, in Houston, Texas a couple named Bobby and Amanda Herring that had been feeding homeless people for over a year has been banned by the city from doing so.
So what is next?
Are they going to ban kids from taking lunches to school?
It is already happening....
At one public school in the Chicago area, children have been banned from bringing their lunches from home. Instead, it is mandatory that they eat the food that the cafeteria serves.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve gets to create trillions of dollars out of thin air and they get to send it to whoever they want.
What a country we have, eh?
Our system has become corrupted beyond all recognition. Government corruption is out of control and it is getting worse with each passing day.
So when are the American people going to get sick of all this nonsense?
When are....
Wait.
American Idol is on tonight.
Perhaps all of this can just wait for another time.
After all, who wants to miss what J-Lo and Steven Tyler are going to say tonight?
Those two are really a couple of characters!
Our leaders know what they are doing, right?
We can trust our politicians to act in our best interest, right?
So instead of writing about all of this "doom and gloom", perhaps I should just lighten up and focus on fun things like American Idol a little bit more.
What do all of you think?
