DEPOPULATION

by IronBoltBruce
)(
I thought it was all about money

And the power that it buys;

But it’s about a depleted planet

And with what who survives.
It’s simple mathematics,

Dividing what by who;

They can’t make more resources,

But they can make less of you.
Forget the genocide of Third World

Warlords, U.S. trained;

It’s nothing next to body counts

For corporations’ gain.
Depopulation: Fighting unjust wars

Where suicide

Takes more of best and bravest than

Those lost to other side.
)(
Depopulation: Firing drones

Puts innocents at risk,

And from those terrorized will come

Next wave of terrorists.
Depopulation: Fracking earth

With biocides that spoil

The water in our aquifers:

High price for gas and oil. 
Depopulation: Filling air

With carcinogens that kill;

Those who survive to sterilize

By design, against their will.
Depopulation: Flooding seas

With wastes they can’t degrade;

Toxins poison source of life

‘Til life no more is made.
)(
Depopulation: Financing

Both sides of “War on Drugs”;

With CIA as pusher man

And DEA-armed thugs.
Depopulation: Feigning

Homosexual approbation;

Stealthfully engendering

Voluntary sterilization.
Depopulation: Fattening up

The tech-sedated masses

With GMO: Accelerating

Aging as it passes.
Depopulation: Fragmenting

Have-Nots to Left and Right;

Against elite assassins

Never able to unite…

Eating Cheerios Doesn’t Make You Healthier, It Just Makes General Mills Wealthier (g1a2d0076c1)

EATING CHEERIOS DOESN’T MAKE YOU HEALTHIER, IT JUST MAKES GENERAL MILLS WEALTHIER

How many examples of greed and corruption must you see before you act?

Our corporations are lying to us, America. They sell us happiness and health, they deliver anything but, and they’re getting away with it. Why? Because in many cases they’ve paid politicians and “lobbied” bureaucrats to twist the rules to where it is legal to lie – or at least legal to hide the truth. Here is one example from many:

Unless you’re one of the few Americans with the wisdom and discipline to throw their TV out the window, you’ve probably seen commercials like this one wherein GMO cereal king General Mills claims that “Cheerios, made from all grain natural oats, is the only leading cold cereal clinically proven to lower cholesterol.”

That claim may be legally true, but it is patently false for the following reasons:

1. Cheerios may be “made from all grain natural oats”, but it also “made from” many other ingredients. The Cheerios website assures us that “All Cheerios cereal varieties have at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving”, but omits the fact that a “serving” is 28 grams:

And what’s in the other 20 grams? This article will give you some idea. Pay special attention to the commentary regarding genetically modified corn starch and trisodium phosphate (TSP), which is a cleaning compound:

2. As we reported earlier, in the USA “natural” has no regulated meaning with respect to food or food labels. Consequently, General Mills can legally refer to the oats in Cheerios as “natural” regardless of any genetically engineered origin. The truth is that General Mills “…continues to use genetically-modified (GM) ingredients in its cereal products, as well as corn syrup, artificial flavors, and artificial colorings – all of which wreak havoc on health…”:

3. The part about Cheerios being “the only leading cold cereal clinically proven to lower cholesterol” uses the “leading” adjective to avoid challenges from cereals that might be healthier but not as well known. And the “clinically proven” phrase that provides the claim’s sole source of credibility refers to a study “conducted by Provident Clinical Research, a for-profit institute that gets paid by General Mills and other manufacturers to design, implement, and analyze tests that will always shine a bright light on the product in question.”

Even the FDA found the claims based on that study to be suspect:

The opening sentence in this General Mills press release (propaganda piece) reads “Research presented today at the Experimental Biology Meeting revealed Cheerios can help lower cholesterol by 10 percent in one month.”

http://tinyurl.com/c66cxue

This is another cleverly-worded deception. General Mills doesn’t directly claim that “Cheerios can help lower cholesterol”, but rather states that was “revealed” by “research”, which as we just explained was tainted. The fact that tainted research was presented at some “Experimental Biology Meeting” sounds auspicious but means nothing. And once the lie is unleashed, the distortion of the truth becomes pandemic. They’ve even got Lance Armstrong lying for them, and the lie goes unretracted even after he knew about the FDA warning letter:

General Mills doesn’t care about your health. General Mills only cares about their wealth.

Berkshire Hathaway: The Oracle of Omaha Says Throw’em a Bone So We Can Keep What We Own! (g1a2d0056c1)

How many examples of greed and corruption must you see before you act?

If your mind is media-managed like that of most Americans, hearing the name “Warren Buffett” immediately spawns images of a nice old man with a twinkle in his eye – and billions in the bank – who reminds you of your Grandpa (or the Grandpa you wish you had). Well, Warren Buffett is a “man” … and he is 80 years “old” … but he is NOT “nice”. Check the facts: Warren Buffett is Chairman and CEO of the Fortune 500 conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, but he had nothing to do with founding that company. Rather, he took it over so he could fire what may have been one of the last men to mess with him. It should also not go unmentioned that – given his $5 billion investment in Bank of America this past August – Buffet stood to pocket a pretty penny from their $5 debit card fees if BOA had not cowered and caved.

Through the companies and brands owned by Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett makes money off almost every American almost every day. I would wager that 90% of you reading this directly or indirectly contributed to the bottom line of more than one of Warren Buffett’s companies more than once in the past 90 days:

The GEICO Gecko, the Fruit of the Loom guys, Dairy Queen’s old-fashioned shaving bunnies, and yes even those four former General Re executives who just got their AIG-related fraud and conspiracy convictions overturned on a technicality are (or were) drummers and shills for Warren Buffett. Sensing mortality (or feeling guilty) perhaps, Buffett has made massive philanthropic moves in recent years. But I’d say his primary motivator is still greed – if not in the having, then at least in the getting. And like any winning chess player, Buffett thinks no more about sacrificing a pawn than he does about throwing dogs a bone. Just as he did here…

The following is a 14 August 2011 Op-Ed contribution by Warren Buffett to the New York Times. It is entitled “Stop Coddling the Super-Rich”, but clearly conveys the message “Throw’em a Bone So We Can Keep What We Own!”:

[The words of Warren Buffet begin here]

OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched.

While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks. Some of us are investment managers who earn billions from our daily labors but are allowed to classify our income as “carried interest,” thereby getting a bargain 15 percent tax rate. Others own stock index futures for 10 minutes and have 60 percent of their gain taxed at 15 percent, as if they’d been long-term investors.

These and other blessings are showered upon us by legislators in Washington who feel compelled to protect us, much as if we were spotted owls or some other endangered species. It’s nice to have friends in high places.

Last year my federal tax bill – the income tax I paid, as well as payroll taxes paid by me and on my behalf – was $6,938,744. That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income – and that’s actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent.

If you make money with money, as some of my super-rich friends do, your percentage may be a bit lower than mine. But if you earn money from a job, your percentage will surely exceed mine – most likely by a lot.

To understand why, you need to examine the sources of government revenue. Last year about 80 percent of these revenues came from personal income taxes and payroll taxes. The mega-rich pay income taxes at a rate of 15 percent on most of their earnings but pay practically nothing in payroll taxes. It’s a different story for the middle class: typically, they fall into the 15 percent and 25 percent income tax brackets, and then are hit with heavy payroll taxes to boot.

Back in the 1980s and 1990s, tax rates for the rich were far higher, and my percentage rate was in the middle of the pack. According to a theory I sometimes hear, I should have thrown a fit and refused to invest because of the elevated tax rates on capital gains and dividends.

I didn’t refuse, nor did others. I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see anyone – not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent in 1976-77 – shy away from a sensible investment because of the tax rate on the potential gain. People invest to make money, and potential taxes have never scared them off. And to those who argue that higher rates hurt job creation, I would note that a net of nearly 40 million jobs were added between 1980 and 2000. You know what’s happened since then: lower tax rates and far lower job creation.

Since 1992, the I.R.S. has compiled data from the returns of the 400 Americans reporting the largest income. In 1992, the top 400 had aggregate taxable income of $16.9 billion and paid federal taxes of 29.2 percent on that sum. In 2008, the aggregate income of the highest 400 had soared to $90.9 billion – a staggering $227.4 million on average – but the rate paid had fallen to 21.5 percent.

The taxes I refer to here include only federal income tax, but you can be sure that any payroll tax for the 400 was inconsequential compared to income. In fact, 88 of the 400 in 2008 reported no wages at all, though every one of them reported capital gains. Some of my brethren may shun work but they all like to invest. (I can relate to that.)

I know well many of the mega-rich and, by and large, they are very decent people. They love America and appreciate the opportunity this country has given them. Many have joined the Giving Pledge, promising to give most of their wealth to philanthropy. Most wouldn’t mind being told to pay more in taxes as well, particularly when so many of their fellow citizens are truly suffering.

Twelve members of Congress will soon take on the crucial job of rearranging our country’s finances. They’ve been instructed to devise a plan that reduces the 10-year deficit by at least $1.5 trillion. It’s vital, however, that they achieve far more than that. Americans are rapidly losing faith in the ability of Congress to deal with our country’s fiscal problems. Only action that is immediate, real and very substantial will prevent that doubt from morphing into hopelessness. That feeling can create its own reality.

Job one for the 12 is to pare down some future promises that even a rich America can’t fulfill. Big money must be saved here. The 12 should then turn to the issue of revenues. I would leave rates for 99.7 percent of taxpayers unchanged and continue the current 2-percentage-point reduction in the employee contribution to the payroll tax. This cut helps the poor and the middle class, who need every break they can get.

But for those making more than $1 million – there were 236,883 such households in 2009 – I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more – there were 8,274 in 2009 – I would suggest an additional increase in rate.

My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice.
