History in my Hands, by Ollie Owl

HISTORY IN MY HANDS:

The mail volume that night three weeks before the Presidential
Election of 2000 was extremely heavy. As a rehab with a permanent
injury while a mail carrier, I was assigned as a distribution clerk
casing mail in the rehab section of the General Mail Center in
Jacksonville, Florida. This section was charge with placing mail
that was either too large or could not be processed through the
automated machines into mail cases. Once these cases were pulled
down the mail was placed in trays, placed in rolling bins and
sent to the various post offices in the North Florida and Southern
Georgia areas. Other sections of the GMC would case the mail
going to other parts of florida and throughout the Nation.

One night while casing mail, I came across a large envelope that
didn't have a cancellation stamp, no date, no postage and no return
address. I thought to myself this isn't right, knowing that it was an
absentee ballot probably coming from overseas. I weight the envelope
attached the proper postage from my own stamp book, cancelled and
dated it and on the front I wrote my work site, telephone number and
inialed it and put it in the proper tray. In the next few weeks I
did this on several envelopes. From this moment up until the
expiration date that absentee ballots would be counted I made a
concerted effort to process mainly absentee ballots. Every night
I would go through the bins of mail to be cased, remove them and
take them to my case and insure that they would be directed to
the right post office. I went to most of the employees on my
tour and ask them to lay aside the absentee ballots they handled
and I would come by and pick them up.

The day after the election of 2000, when it became apparent
that the presidential election would be decided by Florida's
absentee ballots I increased my efforts. One night sitting
at my case with several trays of absentee ballots, I thought
to myself that I had history sitting right there at my feet.
That if I was that type, which I'm glad I'm not, I could very
well change the outcome of history by making these absentee
ballots disappear. Knowing at that time that most of these
ballots were coming from military bases outside of
florida and that most of them voted Republican. In this
election I personally didn't vote for either candidate and
in the last election I voted for Mortimer Snerd.

On a second thought, the way things have evolved over the
last eight years, I probably should have made these absentee
ballots disappear.

Joe's in charge, by Ollie Owl

Putting Joe Biden in charge of rebuilding the middle class is the
same as the old trite adage of, "putting the fox in charge of the hen house".
What is left of the chickens will soon disappear. does anyone really
believe that all the efforts that the powers that are have put in to
destroy the middle class are going to let that happen. Ain't no way.
History contradicts reason. Reagan put George H. W. in charge
of decreasing governmental regulations. They were increased.
Clinton put Gore in charge of tree hugging and he wound up
french kissing the climate controlers. George W. put Cheney
in charge of energy and you see what happened there. The
gas prices shot up like a rocket. Welcome to the New World
Order they call Globalization, which I call the New Global
Plantation. Fellow peons I'll see you on the cotton farm.

President elect Obama please don't do us anymore
favors, we've had enough of them from past administrations.

Obama's Stimulus Package by Ollie Owl

Obama's stimulus Package includes billions of dollars for
infrastructure, especially for roads and bridges. Don't be
surprised that most of these funds will go to the states of
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
It's going to be a tremendous economic boon for the
illegal workers that are going to be hired. Until our current
tax system is changed and the lost jobs have been returned,
the downturn in our economy will continue. Of course, in my
opinion, that's the way it was planned.

Portrait of a Poem. by Ollie Owl.

In words there is music,
Of what the writers feel;
Whether it be mere fantasy,
Or whether it be for real;

A beautiful Portrait painted,
By the artist's loving hand;
Offers reasons to the meaning,
Of all that in life will demand;

The poem is a portrait,
That is a work of Art;
With words instead of colors,
It tends the broken heart;

Quoting Ollie Owl, The Credit Crunch.

One good thing about the current credit crunch is that our mailbox
isn't jammed with credit card offers or with credit card bills, because
I don't have any credit cards. I learned that lesson sixty years ago.
I made up mind then, If I can't afford to pay cash - I don't need it.

Yes, Donald there is a Santa Claus, by Ollie Owl.

Dear Editor, I am 68 years old and my little friends say there is no
Santa Claus. Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?

Donald, there use to be a Santa Claus, but he retired many years ago.
He was given a Golden Parachute of several hundred millions of dollars
when he sold his interests in the toy factory. A foreign subsidiary of an
American corporation bought the toy factory, laid off all the elves and
moved the toy factory offshore to take advantage of the cheaper labor.
Now your parents are paying for the sub-standard toys that are being
manufactured overseas. Yes, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as sure
as the National News Media exists to tell you what the politicians really
meant to say. Although you and most Americans will not see any gifts
under a non-existent Christmas tree, the Christmas haters have seen
to that, does not mean that there is no Santa. Santa Claus lives and will
continue to live to make glad the hearts of the financial interests. However,
today he is better known as the "United States Government", who lavish
expensive gifts on the largest contributors to their campaign fund in order
to stay in power, using your parents tax money.

Playing Games by Ollie Owl.

The plans of men and women,
Many times they do go astray;
When they are lost in the reverie,
Of the little games that people play;

Bah! Humbug!, by Rodney Rat

It was the morning of Christmas,
While waiting for Santa to come;
He was late as usual,
That fat inconsiderate bum;

The children had already arose,
And visited the Christmas tree;
Looking for all their presents,
That they would never see;

The children nestled back into their beds,
And me in front of the fire place;
Calling Santa every name in the book,
Oh! what an humongous disgrace,

Setting across from the chimney,
A twelve gauge as my clout;
When his feet touch the floor,
I'm going to take that sucker out;

There came a clatter upon the roof,
That gave me a gnawing chill;
I don't mind him bringing toys,
But the S.O.B. sends me the bill;

Quoting Ollie Owl. "High off the Hog"

Since my retirement I've been eating "High off the Hog". The other
day my wife took a look at me and said, "now I know where the rest of the
hog went".

Quoting Ollie Owl, To Lie?

Should I lie before or,
Should I lie after,
That is the question?
If you never lie,
You will never cry,
That is my suggestion!

Door of Regret by Ollie Owl

There came a knocking upon my door,
One late and dreary night;
Should I open it or not,
That was my pending plight;

Bang! Bang! Bank! the door shook,
Rattling upon it's rusty gear;
Terror gripped my lonely soul,
Wish it would depart from here;

Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam!
Louder and louder it came;
Please! Please! Please! go away,
To never speak my name;

Hiding in a corner of a room,
Time winding down the clock;
Perhaps I will open the door someday,
When opportunity comes to knock;

Quoting Ollie Owl, Mail Box Stuffers

One good thing that has come from our current financial crises, our mailbox
is no longer filled with credit card offers.

Quoting Ollie Owl, Whos faul is it?

Who is at fault for our current National crises? We are, we placed our
trust in those we thought would work for the benefit of all the people.
They betrayed our trust by selling their allegiance to the highest bidder.
Until we replace them this crises will continue.

Quoting Ollie Owl, Start the Revolution

"We the Animals" should take lessons from the Financial Interests and the
Corporations and hire our own corrupt politicians.

Marvin Mallard's college football playoff.

RECOMMENDATION FOR A PLAYOFF SYSTEM FOR MAJOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL:


The below is a recommendation for a playoff system for Major College
Football teams.  The top eight rated teams in the BCS system were used.
Teams from the Big East and the ACC conference are not included.  I don't
think anyone believes that a team with a weaker schedule and is not included
in the top eight teams and a team with a record of 8 and 4, should even be
in the playoff. Of course those who root for a team in one of the
effected conference will disagree. My recomendation would be to drop
the computer ranking and use the AP, if they are willing, the USA Today's
coaches and the Harris poll's consensus.

*These bowls to rotate each year.
#Encluded these bowls because they had the highest payout last season.


Those bowls with an @ would be major bowls and those with a # would
be consider mini-major bowls.

Current Bowls:
Capital One - Iowa vs South carolina (could have had Ala vs USC)
Outback - Georgia vs Michigan State (could have had Texas vs Utah)
Rose - Penn State vs USC(could have had Okla vs Penn St.)
Sugar - Alabama vs Utah (could have had Fla/Tex Tech vs Tex/Utah)                      
Orange - Cincinnati vs Va Tech (could have had Fla vs Texas Tech)
Fiesta - Ohio State vs Texas  (could have had Okla/Penn St. vs Ala/USC)                        
Four of the eight teams would play twice and two teams would play three
times.

Marvin Mallard,The Swampland Gazette's Sports Guru.

If you think I smell, get a whiff of the BCS Computer Rankings, they stink
to High Heaven. Of course there is no bias here, just ask them. Down here
in Swampland, many of the animals are Gator fans. When the Gators beat
Alabama for the SEC championship, everyone was celebrating that the Gators
would be in the BCS championship game. I warned them not to celebrate
until the BCS ratings came in. I warned them that the unbiased Computer
System would probably have the Gators number three and I was right.
They tried bless their hearts but they didn't succeed. Fortunately
the coaches saw fit to rate the Gators second by .0001 point.

I did a little research and came up with the following for these infallible
Computer Ratings:

1. Anderson and Hester.

This computer rating is conducted by two individuals who reside in Washington
State and are alumni of the University of Washington. Their final regular season
top ten rankings are as follows:

Oklahoma - one; Utah - two; Texas - three; Florida - four; Texas Tech - five;
Alabama - six; Boise State -seven; Penn State - eight; (USC - nine); Ohio State - ten

To me this indicates their pro PAC-10, Minus USC, and pro-west coast teams
biases. Of all of the computer rankings they ranked USC the lowest?

2. Peter Wolfe.

Dr. Wolfe is employed by the English Department at UCLA. His top 10 picks
are as follows:

Oklahoma - one; Texas - two; Texas Tech - three; Florida - four; Utah - five;
Boise State - six; Alabama - seven; (USC - eight); Penn State - nine; Ohio State - ten.

Notice his first three teams are from the Big-12 and the two other west coast teams
are ranked above UCLA's #l rival. Yep! no bias here. Gotta keep out those rotten
SEC teams, They've been in the BCS too many times.

3. Richard Billingsly.

He has been a long time contributor to the Sporting News and ESPN. He was
instrumental in the creation of ESPNs College Football Encyclopedia. His top ten
picks are as follows:

Oklahoma - one; Florida - two; USC - three; Texas - four; Alabama - five; Texas Tech -
six; Utah - seven; Boise State - eight; Penn State - nine; Ohio State - ten.

Mr. Billingsly has been doing this for a long time and his picks is the only one that
I put any faith in.

4. Colley Matrix. Mr. Colley was born in Tennessee and went to college at
Virginia Tech. He's currently a Research Scientist at the University of Alabama
at Huntsville, Ala. His brother played football at the University of Georgia. His top
ten picks are as follows:

Oklahoma - one; Texas - two; Florida three; Utah - four; Alabama - five; Texas Tech -
six; USC - seven; Boise State - eight; Ohio State - nine; Penn State - 10.

He has a propensity to rate teams in the ACC higher than other teams. I leave it
to your opinion where his loyalties lie.

5. Kenneth Massey is a graduate of Virginia Tech and lives in Roanoke, Va. His
College was Bluefield College in south western Virginia. He was envited by
Roy Kramer (former SEC Commissioner, Head football coach at Central Michigan, and
Athletic Director at Vanderbilt) to become a member of the computer rankings for
the BCS. Roy Kramer is the father of the BCS system. His top 10 picks:

Oklahoma - one; Texas Tech - two; Texas - three; Utah - four; Florida - five;
Alabama - six; USC - seven; Boise State - eight; TCU - nine; Penn State ten.

He too, in my opinion, is for any team but one from SEC conference and he also
rates ACC teams higher than other teams in simular circumstances.

5. Ken Sagarin. He is an MIT and University of Indiana graduate. He is
Associated with USA Today. His top 10 picks:

Oklahoma - one; Texas Tech - two; Texas - three; Florida - four; Utah - five;
Alabama - six; USC - seven; Boise State - eight; TCU - nine; Penn State - ten.

With the exception of Billingsly you can see how those running the Computers
tried to manipulate the BCS and the Bowl games.

Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that we definitely need a playoff system?

Lesson Learned by Ollie Owl

The hopes of human kind,
Get twisted and they break;
By those who never give,
And those who only take;

The dreams of mere mortals,
Are far beyond our reach;
If first we never follow,
The lessons that we teach;

"The New World Plantation" by Ollie Owl

The plan by the powers that are in their attempts to bring Third World
Nations up to a First World status, through unfair treaties and one sided
legislation, has back fired. Instead, by allowing corporations to close
plants and send the jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor, it has
resulted in no one left to purchase these goods. All they have succeeded
in doing is making us a Third World Nation.

In my opinion, this was done by design and not through happenstance.
The American people are now getting what they were conned into voting
for.

Welcome to the "New World Plantation" fellow peons.

The "New World Plantation" owners should commend their overseers
for doing a thorough job on we "The Gullible".

Quoting Ollie Owl. "Legerdemain"

The legerdemain of our government never fails to amaze me.
Did you see how fast they made that Trillion of tax payer dollars
vanish into thin air?

The Tattered Robe by Ollie Owl

Upon the day of his coronation,
The King went to his treasury room;
He opened the locked box of treasures,
And came away filled with gloom;

He wanted a brand new castle,
But there was nothing he could do;
For when he opened the box,
He found stacks of I.O.U.s;

His Executor of the Treasury said,
Worry not you're troubled heart;
For the fools and their money,
Soon shall be rendered apart;

In this land of three classes,
Of one we shall ignore;
They have nothing to tax,
We will forget about the poor;

A tax decree went forward,
To the wealthy it was faxed;
But there were so many loopholes,
That they could not be taxed;

Another tax decree went forward,
To those in the middle sway;
Alas there was no middle class,
They had been taxed away;

The Executor of the Treasury said,
Worry not we will give it another slash;
With just one little computer stroke,
They invented more spending cash;

So, worry not about today,
Or even if tomorrow dawns;
For when it comes retribution day,
We both will be gone;

Autumn Prayer by Ollie Owl.

The sun dancing upon the water,
Where the Rainbow Trout play;
The wind caressing the trees;
Upon this lovely Autumn day;

Standing upon the quite shore,
The sky above me crystal blue;
A flock of geese upon the wing,
On a southern course so true;

Flower seeds gently sleeping,
Frost will be descending soon;
Praying for a cloudless night,
And a golden harvest moon;

Strolling along the rippling stream,
Among the gathering leaves;
Bowing my head I thank God,
For the beauty that he weaves;

Is Our Government Guilty of Embezzlement?

With the 700 Billion (a mere pittance of what they've already taken) bail
out, is not our government guilty of embezzlement of the Peoples Bank?
In passing a law by the Board of Directors (Congress) and then signed
by the Chairman of the Board (the President), through their Capitalistic
Marxist Socialism (Fabianism) they have taken the forced investors money
(the American tax payers - those who had) and have given it to those who have more
(the commercial and investment banks).

By doing so, they have almost completely destroyed the middle class of
this nation. In my opinion, that was their intended purpose.

The Politician, by Ollie Owl.

The politician takes a bribe,

Ten suggestions to become a successful Politician.

"Promise everything to everyone,
then when elected deliver on none"

1. Be a Lawyer.
(Graduating from Harvard or Yale would be a tremendous asset)

2. Smile when you are less than truthful to the voters.

3. Pass the laws that the lobbyist want; only, after they've
deposited the money into your bank account.

4. Sign onto those bills to benefit the people; but, only
those you know have no chance in hell of ever being passed.

5. Slip into some obscure bill a request for a few dollars of "Pork"
for your district, to insure your re-election.

6. If you are ever caught with your pants down, claim it was a plot
by the opposition party.

7. If it's proven that you were caught with your pants down; claim
it was a momentary mental lapse and that you will never do it
again. The gullible voters will believe it.

8. Never hide your pay-offs in a freezer.

9. Don't just do something; do nothing, its more profitable.

10. Remember above all, that the American people are apathetic and
filled with complacency and most don't care who is elected.

The Itzy Bitzy Spider. by Ollie Owl

The side of the house;
When it reached the top,
It was eaten by a mouse;

The moral of this story: There is always something larger than
yourself waiting to gobble you up, its called the Government.

Billy Bass.

Billy was proud of his ten pound weight. In his life he had swallowed
many minnows. Billy had one little problem, he couldn't see too well.
Once while swimming in brackish water, he saw something come wriggling
by. Billy lunged at it and it got caught in Billy's right eye. Suddenly there
came a jerk and Billy lost his right eye. Billy thought unto himself that he
would be more careful when he lunged again.

On another day while Billy was swimming he again saw something
wriggling through the water. This time he was very careful before
he lunged. Billy sucked the thing down and soon he realized that he
had been hooked. When he was pulled upon the bank, he felt ashamed
he had been caught by a little old lady with a strip of bacon at the end
of cane pole.

Now Billy lives in immortality upon the little old lady's wall.

The Flower Garden. by Ollie Owl.

Too often we worry about things we can't change and never
worry about the things that we can change. The following poem
I wrote mainly to honor my mother, who was always there when she
was needed. A person who always thought of others before she
thought of herself.

She planted a flower garden,
In the early spring;
When the osprey soar,
And the robins sing;

Pretty carnations and marigolds,
Planted all in a row;
She planted red roses,
And watched them grow;

Every morning she cultivated it,
With her lovely delicate hands;
Until she succumbed one day,
From all of life's demands;

Most of the flowers lived,
Some we could not save;
I picked the fresh ones,
And placed them on her grave;

I planted a flower garden,
In the early spring;
When the osprey soar,
And the robins sing;

So that it can be heard;

Sing it to Mister Cloud,
Sing it to Mister Sun;
Sing it to Mister Sky,
Before the day is done;

Sing it to Mother Nature,
Sing it to Mother Night;
Sing it to Mother Wind,
Sing it with delight;

Sing, Sing little songbird,
Sing it loud and strong;
Sing your sweet song of love,
Before hatred comes along;

Ollie Owl's Thoughts.

When this country was formed, there was a constant worry
of this nation being overthrown by forces from without. Over
the years, laws were enacted or changed and now the constant
worry is this nation being overthrown by the forces from within.

The Hunt, by Ollie Owl

My abduction from reality,
By an unforeseen source;
Abhorrent desires instilled,
Upon my selfish course;

Tracking unsuspecting prey,
Pursuing through their domain;
Eventing upon their misery,
With eternal sleep or pain;

Desirous of a trophy prize,
Reluctance to devour at all;
Extolling that creatures head,
When mounted upon my wall;

Freddy the Frog.

Freddy the frog was sitting on a lily pad
shouting, "Croak", "Croak", "Croak".
Along came Billy Bass and croaked him.

Moral of the story: "Be careful of what you
ask for, you just may get it"!

Alfonzo Alligator

Alfonzo Alligator was swimming across the creek one day, when
a bass boat came along and chopped off the tip of his tail. As he
turned around to see what had happened, another bass boat came
along and chopped off his head.

The moral of this story: "Never lose your head over a piece of tail".

Fuzzy Fox.

When Fuzzy was a young fox, he met a female fox who had a nice
body, but a movie star she wasn't. Fuzzy thought to himself if
the big event ever happened he would put a paper sack over
her head. After several dates, they both came to a mutual
agreement. While they were preparing for the event, the female
fox reached under the bed and produced a paper sack. Fuzzy
thought to himself, "Wow!, what a good sport she is". The female
fox placed the paper sack over Fuzzy's head.

The moral of the story: "Judge not lest ye be judged".

Begin the Beguine.

By. Ollie Owl.

A flight of scavengers,
Circling above our house;
Can't smell any odor,
Probably an expired mouse;

Why the choice of our abode,
This we may never know;
Soaring in their little circle,
As around and around they go;

Slowly they begin descending,
Viewing their apparent wrath;
Realizing as they approach,
It's time to take a bath;

Betty and Bertha Buzzard

Betty and Bertha were flying along one day looking
for a good place to have lunch. In the distance was
a flock of buzzards spinning around and descending
down. Betty turn to Bertha and said:

"I wouldn't join their little circle even if
they ask me to."

Declaration of Independence of the United Swampland of Animals

A UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE OF THE
UNITED SWAMPLAND OF ANIMALS;

When in the course of natural events it becomes necessary for citizens to
dissolve the political bands which have disconnected them from their current
government and to assume among the powers of earth, the separate and equal
station to which the laws of nature and natures God entitled them, a decent
respect to the opinions of natural kind requires that they should declare the
causes which impel them to altar the current system and implement a new
system of government to represent all of the citizens.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all natural kind are created equal,
that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among citizens, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the right of the citizens to alter it, and to institute
a new government. Laying it's foundation on such principles and organizing it's
powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and
happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should
not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has
shown, that natural kind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable ,
than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same
object evinces a design to reduce them to control, it is their right, it is their duty,
to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of this nation. The history of the present
government is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct
object the establishment of complete control over this the United Swampland of
Animals.

We have warned them from time to time of their attempts in their legislation
to extend an unwarranted jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them or our
circumstances of being regulated into Second Class citizens. We have appealed
to their sense of justice and fairness on behalf of all the citizens. We have pleaded
with them to disavow these usurpations and they have rewarded us by ignoring
our correspondence.

We must therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which announces our voice, and
hold them, as we hold the rest of natural kind, enemies of or friends for, the rights
of all the citizens of this nation.

We therefore, the citizens of the United Swampland of Animals, in agreement,
appealing to the supreme judge of natural kind, for the rectitude of our grievances,
do in the name and by the authority of the Constitution of this nation, solemnly
publish and declare the right, to alter the current government. A government
that no longer represents the voice of all it's citizens.

For the support of this declaration we mutually pledge our life, our fortune,
and our sacred honor:

Oscar the Owl.

Oscar the owl was very tired. He had been playing Hide and Seek all night
with Reggie Rat. Resting upon a limb high in tree with both of his eyes
closed he heard the sound of a chain saw revving up. He raised his right
eyelid and saw a Lumberjack cutting down another large tree. Then Oscar
raised his left eyelid and saw one of his friends Darleen Deer grazing in
the direct path of the falling tree.

Oscar began shouting, "Whoo", "Whoo", "Whoo".
But it was too late. The tree fell on and crushed his friend.

Oscar felt really bad because he never learned how to yell "Timber".

Simon Says:

It was an abundant year for the acorn crop. Abbey and Henry Squirrel both had
jobs at the Tree Factory collecting acorns. One day Abbey said to Henry, "our little
nest is too small, we need a larger nest". Henry agreed, in that they spent most of
their day collecting acorns and did not have the time to build a new nest themselves.

Simon Fox was a prosperous banker who offered mortgage loans to qualified
applicants. Abbey and Henry went to Simon to secure a mortgage on a beautiful
nest they wanted to buy with nothing down. Although Simon knew that they both
barely made enough to pay the mortgage, he approved it anyway. He did not tell
them about the clause in the contract, that if they were late on a mortgage payment
or on any other debt, that he could raise the interests rates on all the mortgages they
held with Simon's bank.

Abbey and Henry went on a spending spree to furnish their new nest with new
furniture, appliances, all the latest electronic gadgets and went on expensive
vacations. They each bought expensive vehicles and payed for all their new
items with credit they got from Simon's bank. One day Abbey and Henry
was late one day paying their cell phone bill and Simon raised the interest rates
on all the mortgages they had with his bank.

The acorn factory fell upon hard times and there was less demands for acorns. The
owners of the of the acorn factory sold the factory to a foreign interest that was
controlled by Simon. The factory was dismantled and shipped overseas to take
advantage of cheap foreign labor. Abbey and Henry no longer had a job.

Fannie and Freddie were industrious squirrels and each opened a Secondary
Investment bank to services mortgages that they purchased from the Primary
Investment banks (controlled by Simon and his buddies) who wrote must of
the mortgages. The Primary Investment banks received large fees for writing
these mortgages and sold them to Fannie and Freddie at full market value.
The Primary Investment bank sold to the Secondary Investment bank all their
questionable mortgages, including Abbey and Henry's mortgages. The lucrative
mortgages they kept for themselves.

Abbey and Henry eventually defaulted on their mortgages and were forced
to declare bankruptcy and lost everything.

Eventually a financial crisis was created and most of the properties sold
to Fannie and Freddie became worthless.

Worry Not! Along comes the government to infuse billions of tax payer money
to give to Simon and his buddies, who will take this tax payer money and buy
up their competitors for little or nothing, this includes Abbey and Freddie's
mortgages. When the economy begins to rise and reaches a certain peak,
Simon and his buddies will resell these worthless properties at full market
value and realize a huge profit and then create another financial crisis.
(Of course Simon and his buddies are doing this out of the goodness of
their hearts).

Still Searching, By Ollie Owl.

I've climbed the highest mountain,
I've swam in the deepest sea;
I've trod the burning sands,
In hopes of that to be;

Yet, I have never been to,
Where I have never gone;
And I have never seen,
What I have never known;

The Ponzi Scheme Called "Fractionalized Banking"

"He that completely controls a nation's financial system controls
that nation completely".

A Ponzi Scheme is a fraudulent investment program that
involves promising or paying abnormal profits to investors
out of the money paid in by subsequent investors, rather
than from net revenues generated by real business.

Fractionalized Banking is a system that Financial Interests
use to create false assets. For example: A person deposits
one dollar into a savings account in a bank. The bank will
keep 20 cents in reserve for operating expenses. The remaining
80 cents will be loaned out 10 times. The bank will pay 2% interest
to the depositor and collect 6% interest from the 10 loans. The bank
will eventually realize a profit of at least $8.46 on the original dollar invested.
When the economy fails so too does the bank who can't pay their depositors
because most of their assets have been create out of thin air. While most
of these profits go into off shore accounts, not to worry, the American Tax
Payers will bail the financial interests out. The banking laws and the interests
regulations have been changed by our government to benefit the banking
institutions rather than the people.

"Fractionalized Banking" could also be considered a variation of a Pyramid Scheme,
whereby, 90% of the investors will lose and only 10% will gain. In my opinion it's
the big commercial banks that are the winners.

There is an old song written in 1921 called "Aint We Got Fun" with a line that goes
"the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". That line is as true today as it was back
in 1921. Any financial system is based on the faith that the people have in it. When
that faith is destroyed, so too is that financial system and we are at that fork in the road.

The American Global Party

In my humble opinion, I feel that the Democratic and
Republican parties should join together and create the
"American Global Party". By so doing the "Literati"
can designate whomever they wish to be in power.
Oh! they've already done that through their sham
elections. Never mind.

The Literati versus The Illiterati:

In our current system there's no such thing as a Liberal
or a Conservative, they are one and the same. However;
there is a class society called Literatism (The Literati) and
Illiteratism (The Illiterati). Included in the Illiterati are
those who have received an education that the Literati
want them to have. An education where individuality
has been replaced with collectivism, and they the
Literati will do all the collecting.

With complete control of the Government, schools, and the
media, the Literati have done a good snow job on the people.

The Puppet Master:

Oh! watch the Puppet Master,
Dangle Congress on his strings;
While Congress moves it's lips,
The Puppet Master sings;

/s/ U.S. Congress

Fabianism

Fabianism - is an intellectual socialist movement, whose purpose is
to advance the principals of Social Democracy through
gradualism and reformism rather than by revolutionary
means and using capitalism to accomplish this goal.

The fabianists (Social Democrats) advocate control of
the capital within the framework of a market economy
in order to control the Government which would result
in complete control of the people.

Social Democrats believe in selective nationalization of key
national industries and tax funded welfare programs.

As to any difference between a Democrat and a Republican,
there is none. They are both, one and the same.

They, the elite fabians seek to control this new society
called "Globalization".
