very very very true.....government standard is that low......personal standard is that high......

the government has no right to mandate anything to a person's mind/body/soul.......THAT IS WHY WE ARE AMERICA....

The fact of the matter is.......the left over, anti-establishment hippies are now crawling around the white house and in all levels of government with power and pen in hand. Need we say more?

Most of the hippies crawling around this administration as czars left the better part of their brains back in the 60's as well due to the excessive drug use. Love might be free but the rest of the things that they're giving away are being paid for by someone else.

District seeks union salary freeze
43 teaching jobs at risk in Mohonasen school budget

BY MICHAEL GOOT Gazette Reporter

    Forty-three Mohonasen Central School District teaching jobs could be eliminated under a worst-case 2011-2012 budget, prompting the superintendent to ask all labor unions to consider freezing their salaries.
    The district is trying to cut about $2.9 million in expenses to cope with a reduction of about $3.8 million in state aid. About $800,000 of that cut is being offset from money from the federal teacher jobs bill.
    The current “rollover” budget — if all existing programs were preserved — would be $45.2 million, which is nearly a 6 percent increase from this year’s $42.7 million spending plan.
    The board is shooting for a tax increase in the 2 percent range. Even though a tax cap is not going to be in effect for 2011-2012, Superintendent of Schools Kathleen Spring said Gov. Andrew Cuomo has done a good job in making people believe that it is. The district is facing a dilemma.
    “What do we do to try and swallow the cuts we’re talking about without devastating our programs?” she asked the Board of Education on Monday.
    The 43 full-time equivalent instructional positions could include all grade levels and special subjects like physical education, art and music.
    The district is also considering cutting the number of science, social studies, math and English teachers at the middle school and high school level. This would result in an increase in class size and decrease in the number of electives offered. ............................>>>>.................>>>>...................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r00701&AppName=1

California Teachers Retirement System


Portfolio Holdings by Asset Category
as of 6/30/2009

This investment fund has been one of the best performing Government  investment funds in the US

Tax Retirement Funds when created in CA could be handled by the "same management team" of CALSTRS.

A retirement fund established to meet CA local government budgetary requirements thus allowing for the elimination of all taxation one step at a time would be on it's way as the new standard within government.


Make sure to look at the "Global Equity" international and domestic holdings and then you will get an idea of the Global scope and power base that is created by investment through a fund such as this of which there are many throughout local and federal government being managed within the USA today. Collective totals from the many other government managed funds clearly establishes the takeover of the world economy by Government investment. The establishment of TRF's evens the playing field in behalf of the people through the elimination of all taxation as and when they are applied.









The CalSTRS portfolio has broadly diversified holdings in six categories. To review CalSTRS individual holdings, select a category and review companies arranged alphabetically.

To view the different holdings categories, you can either click on the corresponding area on the pie chart or you can click on the actual name. After viewing a category hit you browsers back button to return to the Pie-Chart.

Solving the Budget "Shortfalls"
by Walter Burien
07/08/09




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

[REPLY TO JOHN FROM WJB]


John:

Recently someone asked me about transportation funding in Texas. I copied my reply below your  post about CA.

The key information in the post I copied below was the listing of funds shown by the TX comptrollers office [thousands of separate funds]

California State Government Inc. has the same if not substantially larger fund balances than TX.

I strongly suggest that you share the same with your people and let them know to look for the same types of funds and listing in CA as shown in Texas to see "the reality" of standing fund balances in CA.

The reality check per current circumstances with an example given on the personal level is as follows:

If you had a fund to take a one-month vacation to Cancun, Mexico with $15,000 in it, and a fund to buy an Island in the Dutch West Indies with 3.8 million in it, and your yearly grocery fund balance dropped from its normal level of $12,000 to $400, would you:


A. -  Pull all that was needed from your "vacation" fund to increase your grocery account.
B. -  Pull all that was needed from your "buy and Island Fund" to increase your grocery account.
C. -  Pull all that was needed from your vacation and buy an Island fund to increase your grocery account.
D. - Pull 50% of the needed funds from your vacation and buy an Island fund to increase your grocery account and borrow the rest.
E.  -  Look at all of your separate funds (thousands on the state level), see what your shortfall need was, and pull a "set percentage", say 1.2% from all of your fund balances "equally" to meet shortfalls you may have in your grocery fund and may also have elsewhere per urgent "living" needs that need to be addressed at "this time"..
F.  - Orchestrate the released news in your neighborhood to give everyone the impression you are broke, about to go under, and you stop participating in church, boy scouts, feed the elderly, and the community watch program due to lack of personal funds as shown in your grocery fund balance whereby you pitch all of your neighbors for several hundred dollars each (tax them) so that you can get back to "normal operations".


In all reality and in the peoples interests the only option that truly is the only choice is "E". An equal percentage transfer from all non-essential fund balances to all "life essential" fund balances where a shortfall of funds exists would solve any implied fiscal "shortfall" in almost any state or sub-local government in the same state.

No fighting per access of any specific fund (as the case is now), but a set percentage withdrawn from "all" non-essential "not life maintaining" fund balances wiping out any shortfall in the life essential budgetary shortfalls.

My hat is off to the TX State Comptroller for giving an easy reference link to view all "State Funds" in the state of Texas. Other states are not so forthcoming and open to their people. https://fmx.cpa.state.tx.us/fm/pubs/cashrpt/07/html/index.php  A little (much) digging may be necessary to see the same in other states.  

I make one very important note here: State funds are strictly "State Funds". All other local governments within the state have their own separate investment funds and fund balances whereby if all local government fund balances were looked at from within a state, the collective totals from local governments from within the state would dwarf the state government's collective totals.

So, we all see how several state governments are playing out their "budget short fall game", now it is up to the people to decide if they are tired of the entertainment presented at their expense of promoted shortfalls and budget deficit soundbites rammed down their throats by a bunch of spoiled, ruthless, yuppies operating from within the halls of government, pockets bloated with hundred dollar bills (with most of the top orchestrator's being attorneys), or shall the people muster to break through and break free from the orchestrated soundbites that are designed to maintain the cash flow and wealth base of others operating from the inside, or must the people force a showing of the collective wealth held by government and then the application of option "E" to solve any immediate fiscal problems standing....

And one very IMPORTANT note; The CA article copied below mentions paying "Proposition 108 bonds", a debt investment instrument. It is VERY important to see who the investors are in that, and all other bond debt standing for all local governments. For decades local governments have been promoting debt at the front door and funding the same debt using their own investment funds through the back door. With them doing so it served a two fold purpose. It locked in an investment for the same local governments to stash their cash, and it allowed for promotion of the debt whereby they could justify by false promotions tax increases to pay the debt, a debt that was in reality a tool used by them to create investment vehicles to funnel their ever growing massive take of revenue (productivity value) from the people.

So the bottom line per debt as disclosed here is: What percentage of any local government's debt is actually funded in a round about way with the same local government's investment funds? Is it 50%, 70%, 80%, or maybe even 100%????  Every taxpayer BETTER and should know the answer to that question.... The Foxes are not going to tell you or make it easy for you to find out.

TWO EXAMPLES OF ROUND ABOUT SELF  DEBT FUNDING: 1.] City X has $100,000,000 in bond debt that was funded by (Bank, Insurance, Investment Company) X. The same City X has $100,000,000 invested with Company X.    2.] State X has $10,000,000,000 invested with the local government investment pool and the local government investment pool is funding $10,000,000,000 of State X's bond debt. The mix and cross play here is mind boggling but in end result, the largest proportion of local government debt is funded with their own investment funds....


OPTION "E" - Make it happen in your state!

Government says their Pensions are 1 trillion Short?
Well, looks like it may be time for an education lesson!
by Walter Burien - CAFR1.com
02/21/10


If you said you were $40 short on your monthly food budget, what is the first question that comes to mind?

ANS: What is your monthly food budget..

If your food budget was $400 you are short 10%, if $80 then you are short 50%.. Big difference between the two.

This media "promotion" of  1 trillion dollars short has two big pieces of the picture intentionally omitted.

1. What is the "collective" totals under management that they say they are 1 trillion dollars short on?

2. What is the actuarial projection being used whereby they say they are 1 trillion dollars short?

EXAMPLE:  If you wanted $100,000 a year at retirement, how much money do you need  to put to the side that pays you $100,000 of investment return twenty years from now?

The key factor here is the projected rate of return you anticipate getting from your fund balance. Lets say we use an actuarial projection of a 10% rate of return. That means we must have $1,000,000 (1 million dollars) put aside and at a 10% annual return  that gives us our $100,000 a year. But if we projected getting a 5% rate of return that would now make the figure $2,000,000 (2 million dollars). Let's take it one step further. Let's use an actuarial projection of 2.5%, that means we would need $4,000,000 (4 million dollars)

Well, there is a big difference between 1 million dollars and 4 million dollars.

So, under the example above if we at the start used a projection of a 2.5% rate-of-return, had built our balance up  with contributions and investment return over ten years to $2,000,000 (2 million dollars) we would be 50% short on our "projected" need to meet our retirement using a 2.5% projected rate of return.

Well here's the kicker.. if "in reality" we were getting a 10% rate of return and adjusted  our  "actuarial projection" accordingly, we would be 100% over funded.....  Get it??? Only $1,000,000 (1 million dollars) needed.

So the ONLY issue when government says they are 1 trillion dollars short is: What are the actuarial projections being used  vs . THE REAL RATE of return being accomplished combined with their standing fund balance?

It is VERY important to look at 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 years of performance results to establish a correct actuarial projection that should be used per "projected" rate of return. Keep in mind the local governments own those funds NOT the employees. The employees bought a ticket to ride under contract. They get a set amount at retirement not a penny more. If performance on the fund  was up by two or three times what was needed the employees do not get 1c extra, they just have their ticket to ride under specific terms from point "A" to point "B".

The actuarial projections used by the local governments are designed to build up a "power base" for those local governments.  With hundreds of billions of dollars under management in each state that is a lot of grease to grease the skids for Corporate acquisitions; real-estate development; massive loans granted; and bond offerings backed. Here the incentive for the local governments is to fudge the actuarial projections used to build up a much bigger power base. Additionally in doing so they  give the impression of being short and thus get more money from the employee and take more tax revenue from the public...

On the State level their are many different local government retirement funds. Usually there will be one State retirement fund (usually the largest) and many other local government retirement funds. They are separate from each other but many network together under specialty "private" associations that in consult direct them all as a monopoly of no equal.

As an example from one state New Jersey, here are a few of the primary State funds that are active or closed but still under management. Many local governments from within the state may or may not be participating in these State funds. Other local governments in the state may be managing their own on the local level. When a local government says they are short, again look closely at the actuarial projections used vs. the real rate of returns accomplished over several years. As a rule government employees are just told the actuarial projection used, they are NOT told the real rate of return accomplished... The employees may be told 7% when 16% or 18% may be the reality... as was the case in Washington, Oregon, and Arizona from 1990 to 1999
.


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The Common Denominator
by Walter Burien
12/21/09



Are you ready for the biggest "Ah Ha" moment in your life? Then learn why they do what they do.

Learn Government's underlying and primary motive for the actions and decisions that they enact. This applies to the Health Care bill that just passed; financial bailouts that occurred; the price of energy in this country; and the perpetual war that is maintained.

There is no gray area here "if" you look and see the reality of the core motive. As has been the case for hundreds of years, if not millenniums, easy money has been a core drive behind the human condition. Guaranteeing a massive profit due to your own actions is a strong driving force no matter who is behind the steering wheel.

Per the health care bill that just passed the syndicated media was honest per one disclosure they openly made. That being that the Pharmaceutical Companies profits will soar based on massive increases in drugs prescribed and paid for through tax payer revenue. Additionally that the insurance companies will be a big winner based on reduced liability with taxpayer revenue covering most of the liability. Now this was brought forward by the syndicated media. The common denominator having the most important reality to these statements was intentionally left out. That being: "Who owns the Pharmaceutical Companies and who was the biggest (primary) investor with the insurance companies that would greatly profit?

Well, the clear answer to those questions without any question is collective government investments. The health care bill passed guarantees collective government massive profits amounting into trillions of dollars.  Prior to reading  this answer did this thought even cross your mind?  Probably not due to the fact an intentional vacuum, a void in your comprehension was promoted and maintained  DUE TO THE MONEY INVOLVED and the power and control derived therefrom. But, being that the players involved had to keep track of their own transactions a record is there for you to see "if" you know where to look to see.

The syndicated media and controlled education is in a 100% symbiotic relationship with the money being generated here so not a word from them. They do what they are paid very well to do and they do an excellent job in which one of those roles is not a peep or word of comprehension towards government's collective takeover and thus maintaining the void of comprehension in the masses due to the money involved AND they know if it was comprehended by the masses it would establish the reality to the masses that all they were told throughout their life's was a lie per the USA being a free country ruled by the people having an elected representative government. That in a closer reality, government in the USA had evolved out of opportunity into a well masked communist country with a strongly entrenched permeated fascist twist.

The void maintained here in the masses boiled down to who owns it all by investment.. Collective government smoothly made this transition into complete ownership through networking with private financial associations that kept very low profiles but amassed unequaled power through their membership of thousands of local and federal government accounts. Through this process of organized collective they could target any company; industry group; domestic; or International to take them over by investment.

Now most of the masses would say: What? Can't be! I would know about that if it happened! I'm to smart for that to have happen without knowing about it! Well, WRONG and simply it is so DUE TO THE MONEY INVOLVED!

Even many of the people on the inside track that were working within this procedure developing the takeover as it took place did not know being that they were dealing with just a few branches or trees in the forest but had no idea as to the collective totals involved. Keep in mind collective government's gross income (Local and Federal) as of 2007 from ALL sources (Investment, Taxation, and Enterprise) amounted to fourteen-trillion dollars for the year and the population's gross income net after taxation was five trillion dollars. [Populations gross income was ten-trillion minus direct and indirect taxation of five-trillion].

The few on the top of the heap that did know, knew that silence was truly golden and that the void in comprehension within the masses was imperative to be maintained for them to continue business as usual unabated so massive efforts were made within the syndicated news media; controlled education; political parties to maintain that void. The money involved over the years as it grew allowed for many a skids to be greased and indoctrination of many cooperative paid personal assigned to maintain the void or vacuum of comprehension and illusion as to the life the masses where living whereby they thought they were free but in reality under the yolk of a masterfully presented extortion racket due to the money involved. A racket that was more oppressive then any form of communism, socialist, or fascist government standing alone.

The key for the masses to see this and fill the void intentionally created in their comprehension's is to start looking at collective totals. Keep in mind that as of 2009 there are over 184,000 separate local government entities big and small alone in the USA before Federal is accounted for, each with their own investments and separate totals.

A few days ago I received a call from a researcher from the state of Washington that wanted to know about the motive behind this Swine Flu vaccine promotion. He wanted to know per the companies that were greatly profiting, what percentage of those companies were owned by collective government. My reply was between 71% to 85% of each company involved was owned through collective stock ownership by government. To qualify my statement I directed him to a source where he could start adding up totals with that source being some of the large local government pension fund holdings.

I noted that local government pension funds were set up as "Strictly Participatory" which meant that the local governments owned; controlled; and directed the base equity in those funds and the employees, as if buying a ticket to ride a train had zero (not 1c) ownership, they just had a ticket to ride with set parameters from point A to point B. Local governments set the funds up this way so that they would benefit from the ownership of that equity and have a free hand in developing their own power base derived therefrom.

To start I pointed him to one of the largest government funds of many from the State of NY; the listing of investments held by the NY State Retirement Fund in 2006:

http://cafr1.com/STATES/NEWYORK/RETIREMENT/NYRINV2006.PDF

I was not picking on this one fund, but it was a good reference of a large fund to start with and I noted to him that he could pull up the same from different states and start adding up collective totals from the different reports. So he downloaded this one listing and we looked at ownership of a few companies and a few of them I list here from this one report: Baxter International $105 million; Gilead Sciences Inc $127 million; Roche $87 million, etc., etc. If you look at the profit made it is substantial.

In each state there are several large government retirement funds and many small fund sometimes several hundred in a large state. Looking at the big ones will give a representative example. When looking at say fifty or sixty of the large funds the collective totals add up to being evidently clear that the government OWNS these companies by investment.

With the thousands of separate government entities networked through a few private associations, they can rule towards policy; price; procedure; and market saturation.

This intertwined ownership and the ability to funnel taxpayer funds into these companies guarantees massive profits for the government's investments and creates the ups and downs in any one market as they enter and exit in uniform collective motion. Any other private investors outside of the loop are subject to guess work and luck if they obtain a profit. The only fundamentals at play here is the movement of the large government institutional funds creating the market as they move in and out in concert networked in perfected timing by the private associations that call the shots for them in consult. This gives a new definition to the golden rule: "He who controls the gold makes the rules" and in this case it is: "He who controls the investments makes all the rules"

As you start to look at the different international holdings held in these reports, you will see the top four profit makers in order of profits generated are: The Pharmaceutical / Health Care Companies; The Bank / Financial Companies; The Oil / Energy Companies; The War Industry Groups.

Government in its collective totals has acquired absolute ownership of these companies through stock; bond; and cash investment in these companies. The private sector ownership in the same is insignificant in comparison. So here we have government determining policy; events; and programs that in all reality guarantees themselves massive profits and in many case bringing forth policy and events that are very counter productive to the general public good and well being. War and Health care costs being perfect examples..

One recommendation for you to track down a few of these government investment holding reports is to use Google. As a starter for you per local government retirement funds I list a few at the bottom of this page with the first grouping being links to government Annual Financial Reports (the CAFR) and the second grouping at the bottom being for Government Retirement funds. http://cafr1.com/listings/Listings.html You will note several of the largest funds listed for each state.

It is important to realize that as these funds grew over the decades they drove the economy by capitol investment. The power base that was created was unequaled especially when collective totals are amassed, we are talking just from the thousands of separate government retirement funds both  federal and local somewhere between $26 to $28 trillion.

Was the general population aware of this? No, they never looked and they were not meant to look due to the money involved.

Did most government employees know this? No, and a ditto as stated above..

The News covered the Madoff swindle. Well that was pocket change on pocket change compared to the holdings as stated here. Why was Madoff not stopped sooner? He was burning and stealing from the private sector and not government investment funds. If he had played the same game with government investors, he would have been stopped in 1/10th the time.

Bottom line of all of the above? TAXATION IS NOT NEEDED! Government took it all over by investment through the use of taxation being funneled through the coffers. Well, they have accomplished the objective of the takeover. The large corporations; banks; insurance companies; many real-estate projects are owned through investment by collective government. The investment return generated therefrom come the year 2001 was greater than ALL taxation collected.

Those that have read the writings of CAFR1 for a while know that a new form of government and economy is being presented by CAFR1. An economy that is based not on Cash; Taxation; and Investment, but an economy that is based on Cash and Investment ONLY!  An economy that has a government that is funded by what are called Tax Retirement Funds (TRF) that are established to meet local governments budget requirements whereby taxation is not needed and can be phased out in its entirety. Not reduced but eliminated. The beautiful thing about this is that government in its zeal to take it all over by investment has the standing management teams; structure; and holdings to make this happen at the stroke of a pen. No matter from what direction you look at it from, taxation is extortion and never should have been allowed to take root as it has.

Why is the phasing out of taxation and the implementation of the TRFs not happening all across the county and the world at this moment in time? Easy answer there! Easy money and the decades of structure; focus; collusion; intentional non-disclosure, that took place as they (collective government) took it all over by investment. Spoiled children with access to an almost unlimited till do not like to modify their behavior. Especially when they believe they took over the complete show by intentional deception maintained and have amassed massive wealth therefrom.

As an end result of the road we all have been on that is why the masses are being stripped piece by piece of freedoms; wealth; and operational unions and the individual is being told for all intents and purposes to shut up; do what you are told; and mind your own business. Arrogance flourishes when massive wealth is created by deception; theft; and extortion as it has within our own government as it has been also within other governments throughout the world and throughout the decades. Government is marketing to the masses that they are broke. Why do they do this? Quite simply; Who looks behind the poor mans house for a tower of gold and riches held...

There is no accident that the US has the highest levels of crime; breakup of the family; and drug / alcohol abuse in the world. These factors are VERY profitable to your local governments and especially for the lawyer / attorney complex running the show. That breeding grounds has flourished and exponentially grown as the opportunity to bleed the populace presented itself. It is a scary thought that over 70% of our governors; senators; and congressmen are attorneys. An even more scary thought is that most people that voted for them did not even know the people they voted for were attorneys. When you look at the actions of these elected attorneys, what they are doing is taking all available cash on hand; locking in investment profits; and dotting the I's and crossing the T's to lock in the productivity value of the next five generations.

A miraculous awakening needs to take place here to reverse the path we are heading down. It is a very unpleasant path that will lead to our own annihilation in due course. When there is massive wealth as there is in this country, there is the potential for massive orchestrated theft.  Well, it has, is, and will continue to happen if the fundamental structure of things remains the same without true corrective measures to reverse the path we are currently on.

The key phrase here is: "capital investment"

Government took it all by taking control of the world capital investment. From this point forward if the people revert the growth and use of capital investment to run government through the creation of TRFs then the people may stand a chance of regaining freedom; wealth; and future excellence in their lives. The implementation of the TRFs changes the core underlying motive behind the government controllers from having the people at their disposal to be continuously drained and managed productivity units as livestock in the fields, but in turn under the TRF management principle, the more prosperous the people are the more flourishing the economy is and thus  solid investment returns and more revenue for the local governments.  

This gives the top government players a very good incentive to downsize and be as efficient as possible. Additionally it is a win - win for all three power groups: The financial cartels (unequaled capital investment held and growing driving the economy and under their management); The masses (no taxation, smaller government, true ownership of their property; less intrusion by government; better standard of living); and government (steady return coming in from TRFs to operate their budgets from)

The new CAFR1 documentary The Only Game in Town - The way our government can be, soon to be released is designed to fill in the void of comprehension inflicted on the masses as to government's take-over of the wealth and more importantly it brings forward the simple steps necessary to correct the situation where taxation is eliminated and the people regain ownership and direct benefit of their own productivity and wealth maintained. A fix that can lead to the proverbial millennium, a thousand years of prosperity for one and all. The TRF is not just for application in the US but is for application worldwide. Anywhere there is taxation the TRF can cancel it out and create a more thriving economy for that country and all that live there..

The new documentary maintains a positive tone and I designed it to be understood by the average person, corporate executives, and world leaders. The launch date for release looks like it will be January 10th 2010 or (01/10/10) for those of you that may see a numeric significance in the release date.

It is my hope that the documentary will be viewed by millions of people in a very short period of time whereby triggering in the collective consciousness of the people the comprehension that will start an unstoppable tidal wave for implementation of what is presented that puts into motion, venue by venue the application whereby the current path we are walking down fades and a new well lit path emerges.



As the old saying goes: "May the saints be with us" and "Can you feel it now?" or as Bart Simpson would say "Are we there yet, are we there yet", no not yet but getting closer


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
