MEDIA ALERT:  FREE-OPEN MEDIA UNDER ATTACK (Part Two)

Let me list the facts.  Check them out yourselves.

  

  1.  Bush et al has grown the current government in 5 years by over 23% from any previous administration.

  

  2.  There are 21 million employees of tax payer funded government services.  That is exactly the same number as the entire manufacturing base of this nation.

  

  3.  Consider what happened to all the money the baby boomers put into the system including those that have died already and where are the investments to make it grow?  Who spent it and why is it not available to them?

  

  4.  How come we are paying billions in interest on the debt and not obtaining interest on all the deposits of monies we have on deposit with the banks from various tax revenues?

  

  5.  What about all the NO BID CONTRACTS that are raping and pillaging our tax dollars in Iraq and for Katrina, Rita, Wilma? 

  

  6.  What about the subsidies that were passed to give tax dollars to the oil companies to aid in building refineries when they have record breaking profits???

  

  7.  What about the trillions in tax breaks for all the various corporations that are the biggest ever?

  

  8.  What about the moving of industries that were our greatest tax revenue generating industries, to overseas locations with impunity?  This started with Bush in the 80's and finished up with Bush the son in the past 4 years.   They destroyed our tax base along with other affected communities and businesses that generate revenues for gov. expenditures through small business profits, wages and investments.

  

  9.  What about Cheney's secret energy policy written by the oil companies?   That has cost government in gas, as well as the pentagon and military and this winter.  That was a bogus crisis, since the obscene profits prove it.   There was no shortage, only gouging and profiteering. ["Peak Oil" is a scam to sell artificial scarcity. -CR]

  

  10.  What about the 1 trillion dollars that was reported missing from the pentagon by the GAO office who investigates gov. wrong doing?  Where is the beef?

  

  11.  What about the recent disclosure that the Pentagon in its "no bid" mind set is spending 15 times the value for pieces of equipment and supplies?

  

  12.  What about the 12 border stations we built in Afghanistan at $300,000 a piece to protect drug running, while we leave our borders unprotected?

  

  13.  What about the 14 permanent bases being built in Iraq?  We are paying for those.

  

  14.  What about the oil revenues to Iraq that we are slant drilling out of Kuwait and selling?  Where are those revenues to replace the money we are spending there?  That alone should be enough to free up our tax dollars in Iraq.

  

  15.  What about the government prevention of obtaining gov financed medicines from countries at 2/3rds lower price (Canada) that are manufactured by our drug companies?  So we have a budget deficit so these drug companies can make obscene profits.

  

  16.  What about all the pensions funds that these corporations are defaulting on, retaining their profits, held not accountable and the tax payer picks up the bill???  Why is that! 

  

  17.  Subsidizing airlines as a form of corporate welfare.  I am a small business owner and no one subsidizes me.  If I go down through bad management and bad decisions no one will give me a hand out.  I simply disappear.  That is what they should be doing.

  

  18.  You didn't talk about the billions in soc sec funds being shipped to Mexico for the ILLEGALS who worked here illegally and didn't pay into the system?  How come the media doesn't mention all this?  They get better terms than those baby boomers who paid in (HAD TO PAY IN TO QUALIFY TO RECEIVE THE BENEFITS) a huge chuck of their income over those many years.

  

  19. You didn't mention the huge bucks Bush paid for bogus reporters to shill his positions, remember Williams? Remember all the videos that were sent to various news agencies???  How come the media doesn't mention that?  Same with the so called "reporters" who were to shill his "every child left behind" program. 

  

  20.  You didn't mention the failed star wars program that has cost the tax payers close to a trillion dollars and has not yet ever had a successful test. [breakthrough anti-gravity and free-energy technologies have been developed but suppressed from public awareness or use in order to sustain the population reduction and control agenda of the elite. -CR]

  

  21. You didn't mention the funds to fly chemtrails over various urban areas that was finally disclosed by the Las Vegas Tribune.  And the huge cost of that?  Maybe if you stopped that we could have quite a few billion in savings and in medical costs from the illnesses those damn things cause.

  

  22.  You didn't mention the billions and billions spent on various vaccines that we never needed like anthrax, small pox (remember the pic of the pres taking it in the arm?) and finally tamiflu that has just killed 12 or 14 teens who took it in Japan.   Now true, Rumsfeld makes a killing on it, but we are stuck with the tax bill for their friends again.

  

  23.  You didn't mention that 50% of our foreign aid budget goes to Israel which is the least effective ally we have and needs the funds less than any one.  They could just make peace with their neighbors and we wouldn't have to send all that money.  If a country can't protect itself on its own it needs to go away. 

  

  There is much more but I am running out of time and I doubt you will read all of this anyway, but you really want to do a good Pulitzer prize piece, then do some REAL REPORTING on how we got here.  Many of us watched as they turned a budget surplus into a budget deficit and knew their policies would crash the economy.
