Nursery Rhymes; The Good Time Porkers

The Good Time Porkers,
By Ollie Owl

Porky pudding and porky pie,
Taxed the people and made them cry;
When the financiers came out to play,
The Government gave our money away;

Nursery Rhymes for the Big Kids.

The Politician, by Ollie Owl.

The politician takes a bribe,
The politician takes a bribe;
Hi! Ho! the merry Oh!,
The politician takes a bribe;

The politician goes to jail,
The politician goes to jail;
Hi! Ho! the miscarry Oh!.
The politician goes to jail;

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 Itzy Bitzy Spider crawled up,
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;

Little Songbird. By Ollie Owl

Sing your sweet love song,
My lovely little singing bird;
Sing it loud with feeling,
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

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:

Signed:

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.

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".
