Szandor Blestman:


An article such as this "Modern Political Prisoners in America" is a disservice to the target reality. It has the effect of bringing out in the reader: "Oh, in a country this big things must be OK with so few incidents mentioned" Did the German population know back during WW2 the extent of how many Jews and dissidents were being grabbed and put in the concentration camps? No they did not. They were to busy being entertained and spending their money. Most of the German population thought they were just being moved some where else to all live together happpy ever after.

Well, the facts that hit the spinal cord are:

1. If it is claimed you owe $5,000 to any government agency (may be $3,000 now) they flag your passport and you are not allowed to leave the country. If you attempt to do so they confiscate your passport. This could be a claim from IRS; Child Support; Traffic Court; Property Tax Judgment; etc. As of 2007 this circumstance had 16.5 million Americans flagged to be stopped from leaving the country (captives). Legislation was introduced (but did not pass) to lower the amount to $500. If that had been done close to forty-million Americans would have been held captive.

2. The prisons and court system generates for all of its players as of 2007 a conservative 1.8 trillion dollars a year. It is clearly an industry that perpetuates itself for any reason due to the money involved. There is no accident the USA has the largest jail and prison population per-populace of no equal in the world. It is VERY profitable to do so. Local governments tax the people to pay for it and then the same local governments invest in the same industry whereby they have a massive guaranteed profit. At every level from the courts to the jails truck loads of money are generated daily.


3. The court system is not there to levy justice, it is there to extort money and property from all caught in that snare. Done so at threat of arrest warrant issued if you do not participate once snared. As of 2007 the court system issued for the year 4.6 arrest warrants to those that for whatever reason refused to participate with having money or property stolen from them.

4. If you resit in force, they will kill you. If you resist with no participation in the fraud they will come to where you are or attempt to track you down and if located throw you in jail. If you confront in reply with law; statute; or ordnance clearly on your side it is in most cases arbitrarily ignored and you are stripped of whatever you have that they can get their hands on.(two wolves and a sheep deciding on what to have for diner)


Reality is: They are operating an industry that generates 1.6 trillion dollars a year. They have set up a structure that enforces massive theft from anyone targeted; the victims; and at the expense of all to the tune of the largest industry in the USA. The whole show is run by attorneys chuckling behind closed doors as they destroy lives; steal wealth; and stuff their back pockets with the booty taken. Each patting each other on the back as they cover for each other to make sure their is no consequences for their own criminal behavior. The few honest and ethical that may be left within this structure are isolated and left in their own as oddities to be ignored with the least amount of cooperation given to by the self-enriched predominate players running the show as of today.


Every hear the expression: "Don't take a knife to a gun fight"? Well here they have created the circumstances for all on the outside of bringing paper to a gun fight, paper that is arbitrarily ignored by them as they use the threat of the gun against you if you do not participate.

The Beat Goes On, and the truck loads of cash keep a rolling through the doors as the masses are masterfully entertained with the fiction of a totally different reality that is making them easy marks for the taking...

I tried to post the following comment on the NY Post site several times and got - " Your comment included text not permitted by our language filter. Please avoid use of inappropriate language on our site in the future. Thanks." or I hit post and it appeared as if it took but nothing posted.

I even took out the links and got the same.

Looks like the NY Post does not want this disclosure made by CAFR1 shared with their readers in reply to an article they wrote. The shame is their article was a good article but had a shell game presentation pitting taxpayers against government employees. What I brought forward below is that both are getting screwed somewhat equally.

Sent FYI from.

Comment I tried to Post at the following NY Post article: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/you_pay_the_price_hNooJsBk9MtO67HvinglHP?sms_ss=digg#postyourcomment
--------------------------------------------

Now for the rest of the Story, the shell game for profit being played against the government employee and the taxpayer:


1. When they say guaranteed an 8% return that is an actuarial projection of return being used. What is not being said is "the real rate of return being accomplished. At the end of 2001 and 2008 they took a hit. Otherwise, including 2009 / 2010 they have been accomplishing a 12% to 16% "real" rate of return. Do most of the government employees and taxpayers know this? No they do not.


2. What are the standing balances of these funds??? Look and you will be amazed at the massive power bases maintained by each. Go through the listing of domestic and international investments in each as can be viewed in each. The way to view is to access each funds own Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) Each separate fund prepares one. As an example here is the NY State Employees Retirement Fund CAFR listing of investments held for 2009 - http://www.osc.state.ny.us/retire/word_and_pdf_documents/publications/cafr/asset_listings_09.pdf and also for reference here is the 2001 report - http://cafr1.com/STATES/NEWYORK/RETIREMENT/NYRINV2001.PDF

Now search; find the CAFRs; and pull up the other specific fund's mentioned in the article to see what their standing truly is.


3. Local governments set their pension funds up as "Strictly Participatory". What that means is like buying a ticket to ride a train from points A to D. When you reach point D you get off. You do not try to walk off with the seat you were sitting in. You do not own any part of the train, you only had a ticket to ride the train. The government employees do not own 1c of those funds, they just have a ticket to ride under contract. The local governments own these massive billion dollar funds. This gives these local governments strong motivation and intent to play actuarial projection games to say they are short when in fact they may be on the mark or even 50% to 100% over funded. The bigger the fund the bigger "their" power base is for world acquisition and conquest... Taxpayers "and" the government employees get the shaft in this respect.

4. In light of the above and in consideration of government's "collective" ownership of investments the private sector pension funds never stood a chance of performing well. Quite the contrary, their balances were constantly hit being that they were up against these massive government funds that were driving the world markets up and down in which through the use of derivatives the government players made money on the upside or even when they caused a short or long term collapse.

Of course there is LAW in this country (Larceny And Willingness)

Did you hug your local government appointed or elected attorney today, the ones that are running the complete show in Government at this time?

If not, you probably had good probable cause not to.

You may find the email challenge I sent to the editorial staff of the San Fransisco Chronicle this evening interesting reading. It is copied below. Please share with your friends that may learn from what is said here.


Additionally below that I copied a communication sent to Arizona Legislative head - Judy Burges's office on 2/15/10 in reply to an email chalenge she sent me on 02/13/10. No reply so far by email or return call. She threw out bait for me to walk in the door without the current factual data so I would be without ammunition and in my reply I brought out the tanks up front to have in hand for if and when I walked in the door. Oooops, I reversed the intended sting..

SFC - COMMUNICATION COPY AS FOLLOWS:

_______________________________________________

I just submitted a comment on the SFC California Budget challenge and wanted to make sure you got a copy. This is information you need to know and comprehend.

Sent FYI from,

Walter Burien - CAFR1.com

COMMENT SUBMITTED AT - http://www.sfgate.com/next10/

_______________________________________________________

It was not from the options offered but what was not show. Collective local governments in California are now over 14,000. The State Government is the largest but collective totals from local governments from within the State dwarf the revenue pool of the state.

Collective CA local government's each have many specialty investment accounts (many thousands of separate funds large and small). The total from all are in excess of eight-trillion dollars. (conservative estimate)

To resolve the so called "Budget Shortfall" I would do a standing audit of "all" local government investment funds and then from each deduct an equal percentage to satisfy any budget shortfall "with" a 50 billion dollar cushion to last through the rough times... the "equal" percentage would probably be less than 2% to accomplish that objective, and done deal..

People have been sound-bite conditioned to think Government only generates tax income and that is where the public's focus is directed. In reality in combination of all local governments and the state from CA the investment capital is massive (noted above in excess of 8 trillion dollars) that generates in return revenue greater than all taxation collected in the state.

The public has been kept oblivious to the scope and size of these collective funds and through intentional misdirection pointed at tax income and expenditures dealt with. So your pie charts that give the impression of 100% is actually just 1/3rd of the pie when it comes down to government's true "gross income"

Now you will hear expressions like: "Here is our rainy day fund" and in reality that is like your pocket change jar you keep in the kitchen compared to the many other thousands of other government investment funds never mentioned.

You will also hear when investments are mentioned: "Oh, that is our employees retirement Funds" WRONG... The retirement funds are but one category.. (a large one) then you have self insurance funds; advance forward liability funds; special liability funds; enterprise forward project funds; and the list goes on and on. Just on the state level you are looking at around 12,000 separate specialty investment funds large and small. And with an audit of all local government specialty investment funds would be well in excess of 100,000 specialty investment accounts.

Never a peep about this to the public, and the reason why? DUE TO THE MONEY AND CONTROL involved! Governments from all across the country have been developing their non-tax income for over 65 years.

The public was presented with "Budget Reports" to account for where "Tax" income and expenditures were applied "for the year". To see the same local governments "gross income; standing investment wealth derived over decades; the investment return generated; and the enterprise operations massive wealth generated, you must look at the same local governments Annual Financial Report, or as government calls it, their: Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). A Google search will pull up many.

For the CA State CAFR just put on the search line: "The State of California" CAFR

The state CAFR will pop up for downloading. You can do the same for "The city of Los Angeles" or Burbank, San Fransisco, Sacramento, County of Los Angeles, etc., etc., etc....

Now a local government like the State of CA can say: "We have a fifty-billion dollar shortfall on our budget" (Tax Revenue) and a "true" review of the state's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report could show the state 200 billion in the black. The budget will be shown in the CAFR and it is only 1/3rd of the pie when it comes down to gross income...

Some people have referred to this as having two sets of books. Well, there are not two sets, their is only one and that is the CAFR of which the budget is a segment thereof.. an inferior report to the CAFR.

The silence (is golden) maintained as far as not a peep as to government's Annual Financial Report and non-tax income shown that most Cities: Counties; School Districts; State Universities; Enterprise operations; and the states prepare each year I call "The Biggest Game in Town" of which I put a video up on Google 12/25/08 that had over 870,000 views in the first 5 days worldwide and not a word from the media; controlled education; the political parties; or government itself. That silence is golden rule present over the last several decades is well entrenched due to the money and control involved. The public would not be pleased to find out that they have been played like this to say the least..

I challenge the SFC to publish in the next 30 days, and do so conspicuously the links to download say the top 200 local California government CAFRs with it noted: "The SFC strongly suggests that every taxpayer carefully review their local government's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)"

The CAFRs are local governments "Holy Grail" of accounting showing collective wealth that has built up over decades not as a budget report that primarily shows "TAX" income and expenditures for the year....

Truly yours,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judy:

Good to hear from you. The public uses expressions like "where is all the money?"

In reality there are several areas for review when looking at any government body:

1. Statistical review of that local government entity growth, 3, 5, 10, 15 years vs. private sector "population" growth over the same time period.

2. General purpose operating funds are tax tagged categories and are referred to as the public promoted budget. Or as Carol Springer, ex treasurer use to say when I brought up the point that AZ was bringing in 3 to 4 times the "gross " revenue over what was shown in the "Budget Report" she would say: "No, no, no, it is only 2 to 3 times over.." An audit review of "all" investment fund assets held by any party for the state for any purpose needs to be conducted to see standing totals and reviewed for true need and correct actuarial projections used to determine "true" balances needed. Standing balances here for just state government (excluding the 1200+ other local gov in AZ) the last time I looked (2001) were standing at about 52 billion dollars. One thing you may want to put into perspective is that as seen in the 1972 AZ State CAFR the budget was 1.8 billion and gross income was 2.1 billion. Come 1999 the budget was 14 billion and gross income was 34 billion. The growth factor was very strong in government and population growth over that period but look at the separation between "budget" and "gross" income over that time period.

3. Per: "Just come on down to the capitol and show us where the money is so we can cut out all the tax increases" is not a productive exercise. If you wish to accomplish meeting budgets, maintain personnel, and start the path to lowering and then eliminating taxation without tax increases at this time, I would suggest opening the door for conversations to take place between the AZ State Auditor, Treasurer, and myself with those goals in mind. Upon progress in statistical and audit review, then a valid presentation can be made to accomplish the stated purpose backed up by true parameters verified at present.

Any complex issue becomes simple when comprehended with true application within set parameters determined by factual review. To many people are throwing themselves at leaves and branches in the forest where they become blinded to the true scope and size of the forest itself. I focus on the forest..

Upon the AZ Auditor and Treasurer giving you the feedback that remedy is there after discussions and reviews held, then you can brief the governor with the parameters to effect the same in application.

I look forward to talking with you.

I will set up a meeting with you and our Joint Legislative Budget Committee, appropriations and any one else you want. Just come on down to the capitol and show us where the money is so we can cut out all the tax increases, fund sweeps and robbing Peter to pay Paul. My office number is 602-926-5861. I look forward to hearing from you.
