US depression is real, Orwellian media fools most Americans, White and native born Americans losing jobs to immigrants, Big brother of “1984” painted rosy economic picture just as Obama White House does

“In December 2014 there were 18 million immigrants (legal and illegal) living in the country who had arrived since January 2000. But job growth over this period was just 9.3 million — half of new immigration.”…Center for Immigration Studies February 2015

“U.S. food banks are expected to give away about 4 billion pounds of food this year, more than double the amount provided a decade ago, according to Feeding America, the nation’s primary food bank network. The group gave away 3.8 billion in 2013.
While reliance on food banks exploded when the economy tanked in 2008, groups said demand continues to rise year after year, leaving them scrambling to find more food.”…Associated Press August 13, 2015

“We are being lied to on a scale unimaginable by George Orwell.”…Citizen Wells

Citizen Wells has been warning you for many months that we have been in a recession and are rapidly entering a depression.

Don’t be fooled by the Orwellian media and White House blaming China for our current economic woes. They are just as, if not more, dependent on our economy as we are on theirs.

Don’t be fooled by comments that illegal immigrants are not taking jobs from native born Americans.

White and native born employment is down in 2015 and has been decimated under Obama.

“Why This Feels Like A Depression For Most People”

“Everyone has seen the pictures of the unemployed waiting in soup lines during the Great Depression.When you try to tell a propaganda believing, willfully ignorant, mainstream media watching, math challenged consumer we are in the midst of a Greater Depression, they act as if you’ve lost your mind. They will immediately bluster about the 5.1% unemployment rate, record corporate profits, and stock market near all-time highs. The cognitive dissonance of these people is only exceeded by their inability to understand basic mathematical concepts.

The reason you don’t see huge lines of people waiting in soup lines during this Greater Depression is because the government has figured out how to disguise suffering through modern technology. During the height of the Great Depression in 1933, there were 12.8 million Americans unemployed. These were the men pictured in the soup lines. Today, there are 46 million Americans in an electronic soup kitchen line, as their food is distributed through EBT cards (with that angel of mercy JP Morgan reaping billions in profits by processing the transactions).

These 46 million people represent 14% of the U.S. population. There are 23 million households on food stamps in a nation of 123 million households. Therefore, 19% of all households in the U.S. are so poor, they require food assistance to survive. In 1933 there were approximately 126 million Americans living in 30 million households. The government didn’t keep official unemployment records until 1940, but the Department of Labor estimated 12.8 million people were unemployed during the worst year of the Great Depression or 24.9% of the labor force. By 1937 it had fallen to 14.3% or approximately 8 million people.

The number of people unemployed during the 1930’s is an excellent representation of the number of households on government assistance during the Great Depression because 79% of all households were occupied by married couples with 4 people per household versus 48% married couple households today with 2.5 people per household. The unemployment rate averaged 19% during the heart of the Great Depression. Therefore, approximately 19% of all the households in the U.S. needed government assistance to feed themselves. That happens to be the exact percentage of households currently needing food stamps to feed themselves.

We are now supposedly five years into an economic recovery. The unemployment rate, according to the government, has fallen from 10% to 5.1%. Maybe a comparison to the the Great Depression in 1937, five years after the worst of it, would reveal some truth. It is not easy to do an apples to apples comparison because very few women worked outside the home in 1937 and the average life expectancy in the 1930s was 60 years old. Today, the majority of women are theoretically in the work force and the average life expectancy is 78 years old. In 1937 only 5% of the population was over 65 years old versus 13% today.

There were approximately 55 million Americans in the labor force in 1937, according to the DOL, and approximately 47 million of them were employed. So 85% of the eligible work force was working. There was no BLS to massage, manipulate, seasonally adjust, or fake the data to make things appear better than they were in 1937. Edward Bernay’s Propaganda techniques and methodologies weren’t perfected for a few more years. According to Census information there were 52 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 44, along with another 21 million between the ages of 45 and 64 in 1937. So even considering that very few women worked and many people died by the age of 60, we had a workforce of 55 million out of an age eligible population of 73 million at a maximum. That yields a participation rate of 75%.

These facts reveal the utter falsity of the propaganda drenched duplicitous data dumped by the BLS on behalf of vested interests who have captured our government and have an agenda requiring the public to be kept in the dark regarding their own dire financial situation. No matter how you slice the data, it reveals an absolute parallel to the situation during the Great Depression. There are 251 million Americans of working age and only 149 million are employed, of which 20 million are part-time and 8 million are self employed. Only 59% of working age Americans actually work. The BLS has the cajones to declare that only 157 million of the 251 million working age Americans are actually in the labor force.

This outrageous assumption flies in the face of all reasonableness, facts, and truth. In 1937, even with women not working outside the home and very few people living past 65 years old, the participation rate was 75%. Today, with the majority of women capable and willing to work and older Americans working well into their 60s, the BLS actually expects a critical thinking person to believe the participation rate is only 62.4%, the lowest since 1977. It’s a pure and simple despicable lie. The true participation rate should exceed the rate in 1937, based on the facts. Using the 75% participation rate today, yields a true unemployment rate of 21%, not the preposterous 5.1% shoveled by the bullshit artists at the BLS. The 21% rate ties very closely to the figure arrived at by John Williams at Shadowstats. An unbiased assessment of the facts reveals unemployment numbers and people on government assistance numbers that match or exceed those of the Great Depression.”

“But actually, he thought as he re-adjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connexion with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connexion that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head. For example, the Ministry of Plenty’s forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at one-hundred-and-forty-five million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than one-hundred-and-forty-five millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population of Oceania went barefoot. And so it was with every class of recorded fact, great or small. Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain.”…George Orwell “1984″

From New York Magazine October 7, 2015.

“From showing off her fun side on Saturday Night Live, to attacking Republicans over their Benghazi obsession, to gearing up for a potential primary fight against Joe Biden, everything Hillary Clinton has done in recent days suggests that she’s ready to go on the offensive and move past the issues that plagued the first six months of her campaign. But her email scandal worsened again on Tuesday (with some help from Republicans). McClatchy reported that a second IT firm was involved in managing Clinton’s private email server when she was secretary of state. With Clinton’s authorization, Datto Inc. has agreed to give the FBI any information is has relating to her account, which could mean investigators will have another way to obtain the tens of thousands of ostensibly personal emails that Clinton’s team deleted.

The FBI is trying to determine whether classified information was improperly transmitted using Clinton’s private server. In August Clinton and Platte River Networks, the company she hired in 2013 to manage the server, turned the device over to the FBI. A source claimed last month that the FBI managed to recover many of the emails, though the server was initially said to be “wiped.”

Senator Ron Johnson, the Republican chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, revealed Datto Inc,’s involvement on Tuesday when he sent the Connecticut-based firm a letter asking it to explain how Clinton’s emails were handled, and to turn over any messages still found in its systems. Some time in 2013, Datto was hired to back up Clinton’s email to an on-site device, so there would be another server if the one controlled by Platte River Networks failed. But according to Politico, in August Platte River employees realized that Clinton’s emails were syncing to Datto’s cloud server as well, though Platte River spokesman Andy Boian said that was not in the contract and “violated the exact instruction we gave them.”

When Datto confirmed via email that Clinton’s files were syncing to its servers, a Platte River employee replied, “This is a problem.” Johnson said that at that point Platte River “directed Datto to not delete the saved data and worked with Datto to find a way to move the saved information … back to Secretary Clinton’s private server.”

Platte River had directed Datto to keep Clinton’s emails for 60 days, but Johnson claims that in late 2014 and 2015 – around the time the State Department asked for Clinton’s work-related emails – one of her staffers asked the firm to have Datto save only 30 days worth of emails. The senator’s letter cited an email in which one Platt River employee speculated “this whole thing really is covering up some shaddy (sic) shit.” That employee also asked coworkers to find the reduction request from the Clinton team. “If we have it in writing that they told us to cut the backups,” they wrote, “and that we can go public with our statement saying we have had backups since day one, then we were told to trim to 30 days, it would make us look a WHOLE LOT better.”

Platte River’s Boian told the Washington Post that despite the employee’s private speculation, the company does not think any “shaddy shit” – or rather a coverup – took place. It’s also worth noting that this information comes to us via a GOP senator a day after Clinton released an ad attacking congressional Republicans. But that wasn’t the only development in Clinton’s email saga. On Tuesday court documents revealed the State Department recently sent Clinton’s lawyer a request for any emails she may have failed to turn over, and lawyers with the conservative group Judicial Watch urged a federal judge to order Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy to tell the court who authorized Clinton’s private email server.”

According to this report, the black-Islamist terrorist who committed this act of terror, Chris Harper Mercer, had previously been identified by electronic intelligence specialists within the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) as being an Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) adherent after he had attempted to gain passage to Syria via Turkey during the first week of September, 2015.

“BOB STRAUSS…..thanks for the 1:32pm post !

I just read the complete story that you posted there…..and it is everything many suspected shortly after the shooting at that small college in Oregon…

I told myself that time will expose exactly who, and what the shooter was….
and apparently it has…. in a very unique way !

I also found out Roseberg, Oregon was the birthplace of one of the three American hero’s who saved a train full of people in Paris from being slaughtered by an armed Islamic terrorist with an automatic rifle…..for their actions, they were awarded the highest medal for heroism given by the nation of France…..Obama was reluctant to even recognize the three hero’s but eventually had his Secretary of Defense award them a ‘”Soldier’s medal”,,,this is not a very high award and can be given for almost anything.

Here is the criteria for that award……..
“The Soldier’s Medal is an individual decoration of the United States Army. It was introduced as Section 11 of the Air Corps Act, passed by the Congress of the United States on July 2, 1926.[1][2] The criteria for the medal are: “The Soldier’s Medal is awarded to any person of the Armed Forces of the United States, or of a friendly foreign nation who, while serving in any capacity with the Army of the United States distinguished himself or herself by heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy.”

Please note the award is given for heroism NOT INVOLVING ACTUAL CONFLICT WITH AN ENEMY”……Once again, Obama refuses to recognize that an ISLAMIC TERRORIST is not our enemy….the award of this lowest medal for heroism denotes his denial of an “Islamic terrorist” as our enemy….but that is not the purpose of this post….

When I found out one of those hero’s was from Roseberg, Oregon ‘bells went off in my head’ and I put two and 2 together and in my way of thinking, I figured the College Shooter was only carrying out what the Train Shooter in Paris failed to do…. that was to “kill Christians” …..remember the college shooter was asking his victims what religion they were. At that time, I did not know the shooter was half black and I did not know he was on an Islamic terrorist list that the Russian government had.

The article you posted at 1:32pm showing Mercer to be a half/black Islamic terrorist suspect only leads credit to my theory…and when Obama was so quick to go on television with his false assertions, I knew there had to be more to this story than I then knew at that time….or was being put into the public

If Russia had a list of known Islamic terrorist with Cris Harper-Mercer’s name on it,….. and if Putin offered to give this list to Obama 12 days PRIOR to the shooting but Obama refused to take it……then Obama should be held as an accessory to those killings…..

This information you posted at 1:32pm must get out into the public…and Obama must be held accountable for not taking the list as offered by Putin….but deep down in my heart, I know he won’t and the truth of the matter will never get out……..”

Thanks to all of the great commenters and citizen journalists at Citizen Wells.

Anybody listening, watching?

Citizen Wells has been warning you for many months about the decimation of white American, native born, jobs under Obama.

We have been constantly bombarded, in Orwellian, “1984” fashion about all the jobs created and strengthening economy.

Even the mainstream media cannot prop up the latest numbers.

And now we have another problem that cannot be ignored. And it will become a self fulfilling prophecy. Further affecting consumer spending.

Companies slashing employees and buying by stock.

From Market Watch October 2, 2015.

“Companies are cutting jobs and buying back stock at the same time

How would you feel if the company that just laid you off said it was spending millions of dollars, or even billions, to buy back its stock?

At least you wouldn’t feel lonely.

U.S. companies announced 205,759 job cuts during the third quarter, the most since the third quarter of 2009, just after the Great Recession, according to data provided by outplacement company Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. In September, the number of announced job cuts was nearly double what it was at the same time last year.

On Friday, the Labor Department released a stinker of a September jobs report.

At the same time, share repurchases announced by U.S. companies during the third quarter remains around the highest levels in at least the last decade, according to data provider Dealogic Ltd. In September, companies authorized buybacks totaling $243.4 billion, more than seven times the amount announced in the same month a year ago, Dealogic said.

One might think these corporate actions are mutually exclusive, but as the chart above shows, many companies are doing both. In fact, some companies have even announced job cuts and share buybacks in the same news release.”

“Industry expects said that often times, money used for stock buybacks comes from retained earnings—saved from the past—while layoffs reflect concerns about the future outlook for growth. When times are tough, however, it’s a different story.

“Whenever a company is laying off employees, something is not going the way it wanted it to,” said Dr. Michael McDonald, a professor at Fairfield University’s Dolan School of Business, in a phone interview with MarketWatch.

When a company is buying back stock and laying people off as its share price is falling, it could be viewed as “defensive” move, he said.”

From Rush Limbaugh October 2, 2015.

“There Is No Economic Recovery

RUSH: There’s also economic news out today on the jobs market. Once again, I predicted this. No surprise here. There is no economic recovery, zip, zero, nada, and there has not been for seven years. And Wall Street is practically now admitting it, and the Federal Reserve, by saying, “Well, I guess we can cease all this talk about raising interest rates.” There have been a lot of people seemingly waiting for interest rates to be raised by the Fed, because that would mean, wow, the economy is really exploding. Except it isn’t, it hasn’t even been close. We’re now over 94 million Americans not working. The labor force participation rate is nearing an all-time low in this country.”

“Now the economic news, finally. You know, for the past three or four years we’ve had to put up with a lying, stinking media, ignoring repeated bad news on the economy — be it wages or hours worked or full-time employment, unemployment, jobs in general, or whatever — and then on the rare occasion where a month would feature some in-and-of-itself good news, then that would be reported and built up into massive, great, year-round news that’s happening.

“The economy’s finally rebounded! The recovery is taking place! Job creation’s ongoing!” It was all lies. This economy… From Obama’s first year in office — when he first did the stimulus, the Porkulus bill — there has not been economic expansion, and more and more people have been leaving the workforce. People’s hours have been converted from full time to part time so that employers comply with Obamacare.”

“It was the lie.

It’s the creation of an illusion because people realize that perception is reality, and if you report enough to create a perception there’s a robust economy happening out there and a robust recovery, even people not experiencing it will believe it because, well, they see it on TV. So when the Fed says, “Well, I guess we can’t raise interest rates,” what that means is that there is no economic activity. Now, the jobs numbers this month are like 60,000 below analysts’, experts’ expectations or whatever.

But the fact of the matter is that month to month it’s been a game of the media working with jaundiced numbers provided by the government. The overall truth is there hasn’t been any economic recovery. The evidence is everywhere. Millennials can’t find jobs, Millennials, college graduates, can’t find careers. More and more people are living at home. The job market’s being flooded with illegal immigrants, which is depressing wages. I mean, there’s not one decent economic sign out there.”

“Citizen Wells has been warning you for many months.

The employment situation, despite the best efforts of the White House and mainstream to lie to you, is bad and getting worse.

White employment fell 135,000 in September.

White employment fell 267,000 since January.

From Zero Hedge October 2, 2015.

“The US Has Added Three Times More Foreign-Born Workers Than Native-Born Since December 2007

If you thought the headline jobs print was bad, wait till you see this.

While we will show the quality of the jobs shortly (you guessed it: waiters and bartenders jumped, manufacturing workers tumbled), with the presidential elections, in which immigration has become the key topic coming up, a far more relevant issue is the spread between “native-born” workers (as defined by the BLS), and “foreign-born.” Expect the September data to provide much fodder for the upcoming republican and democratic debates.

But before we show what happened, here is a quick glance at the breakdown between full and part-time jobs in September. According to the BLS, 53,000 part-time jobs were added in September. The offset: a drop of 185,000 full-time jobs. Welcome, once again, to the part-time recovery we first profiled in December 2010.”

The US Labor Department will come out with the September “jobs” report this morning. Once again the mainstream media including Fox and even Zero Hedge will blindly follow the cues about the mythical jobs that were created last month.

We know that most of the jobs created under Obama are part time, low paying jobs and this correlates well with the growth in Hispanic employment which correlates with the influx of illegal immigrants.

Why did no one, aside from Citizen Well,s report the over 130,000 drop in white employment in the first 6 months of 2015 and the decimation of white employment since Obama took office?

I got this data from the US Labor Dept.

People employed by ethnicity. Not mythical jobs.

There has been much written here about this. Search on employment to read more.

From Citizen Wells September 4, 2015.

““Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 173,000 in August, and the
unemployment rate edged down to 5.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.”

There was an increase in 23,000 white American employment in August.
However, white employment is down 132,000 since January!!!

I found this article by Business Insider from February 10, 2011.

“No One Looking At This Chart Could Possibly Call It A Recovery”

“Currently the problem in the US jobs market mainly lies with, what I call, the maintenance rate. This is the minimum monthly job creation rate that our enormous system–our economy and government with its revenues and liabilities–must have in order to maintain itself as population grows. Getting lost in the weeds, therefore, of monthly unemployment rates is a waste of time. After having lost 8+ million jobs from the top of the last expansion, nitpicking one’s way through the additions, revisions, and changes to the presumed size of the work force misses the point. And that’s this: any month in which the US does not create at least 125,000 jobs, from a systemic point of view, is negative. It’s less than zero.”

“Now you know why annual government budgets have blown out into the the trillions: the economic flows normally provided by a functioning economy are now provided through unemployment checks, food stamps, FDR style spending and other distributions. In short, the “economy” cannot be experiencing a recovery when, after 10 years of population growth and growth in future liabilities, the number of people employed is hovering around levels last seen in 2002-2004. Whether you chose to look at just Non-Farm Employment, or Total Employment, the US Labor Market is essentially flat-lining since a deep trough was reached in late 2009, early 2010.

Those who would make sweeping claims about a recovery in the entire economy should place these two charts shown here in their printed columns, along with the fact that the US population has grown by over 25 million people since the year 2000.”

The referenced study from above was retrieved from the WayBack Machine.

Why was it scrubbed?

From the Brookings Institute February 4, 2011.

“The traditional unemployment rate does not fully capture the extent of labor underutilization in our economy. In addition to the 14 million Americans who are officially counted as unemployed (the jobless who are still actively looking for work), there are over 11 million Americans who either want to work but have given up looking, or who are underemployed in the sense that they are working part time because full-time work is unavailable. These additional workers are less visible but are undoubtedly victims of the recent recession.”

“The Hamilton Project explores the monthly “job gap” based on the employment numbers—or the number of jobs the economy needs in order to return to return to pre-recession employment levels while absorbing the 125,000 people who enter the labor force each month.

The annual revision to the historical payroll numbers released with the January report paint an even starker picture for the job gap this month, increasing it to 12.4 million jobs.

The chart below shows the evolution of the job gap since the start of the Great Recession in December 2007. The thick line in the chart below shows the net number of jobs lost since the Great Recession began.

The broken lines display the date by which the jobs gap would be closed under alternative assumptions about the rate of job creation going forward. If the economy adds about 208,000 jobs per month, the average monthly rate for the best year of job creation in the 2000s, then it will take until July 2023 to close the job gap. At a more optimistic rate of 321,000 jobs per month, the average monthly rate for the best year of the 1990s, the economy will reach pre-recession employment levels by May 2016. ”

“Exposing The Lie Behind The “Strong Jobs Recovery” In One Chart”

“With all eyes glued to Friday’s payrolls report, we thought it worth reiterating some ‘facts’ about US employment data. As ECRI notes, the sustained decline in the official jobless rate – now approaching the Fed’s estimate of “full employment” – is a misleading indicator of labor market slack. The data shows that the so-called jobs recovery has been spearheaded by cheap labor, with job gains going disproportionately to the least educated — and lowest-paid — workers.

Indeed, the stagnation in nominal wage growth is consistent with the weakness in the employment/population (E/P) ratio. That said, even the E/P ratio may be overstating the health of the jobs market.

After dropping to three-decade lows in the wake of the Great Recession, the E/P ratio, has barely improved since the fall of 2013, reversing only about one-fifth of its decline from its pre-recession highs.””

“What Recovery? 9.4 Million More Americans Below Poverty Line Than Pre-Crisis

According to Janet Yellen, we are still on pace to raise rates in 2015. While the rate hike was supposed to happen this month, it got derailed by the August market selloff, volatility in China, lackluster work force numbers, and a variety of other factors.

Despite the Fed continuing to kick this down the road, they continue to claim that we are in the middle of an ongoing recovery. There’s just one problem with that: things are getting worse than pre-crisis levels for millions of the poorest Americans.”

“It’s true that the wealthiest 10% of Americans have finally seen their household incomes rise above the levels last seen in 2007. It’s also true that median incomes have “recovered” from the worst of the 2008 disaster. Median earners were -8.1% worse off in 2011, and now they are only -6.5% worse off according to most recent data for 2014 released by the U.S. Census Bureau last week.

However, when we look at the lowest 10% of income earners, the situation is much more precarious. In 2011, the bottom 10% of households were -9.0% worse off in terms of income than they were pre-crisis. Since then, it hasn’t gotten any better: they now are making -11.6% less income than they were in 2007.

Possibly even more concerning is the fact that the amount of Americans living below the poverty line has soared since 2007. There are now 9.4 million more people that can claim to be a part of this unfortunate group, and the total contingent living below the poverty line now makes up 14.8% of all Americans. This is also an increase from the 12.5% figure from before the Great Recession.”

Pope Francis is a very likeable person and appears to be genuinely concerned about humanity.

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”…Karl Marx

However, like the rest of humanity, he has risen to his own level of incompetence.

I call this the “Saint Peter Principle.”

Not only has he risen to his own level of incompetence, I question that what he is speaking of is the message of Jesus.

To put this in more simple terms, as my mother would say, “he has gotten too big for his britches.”

Pope Francis hails from South America, the home of failed socialist policies, vast raping of the environment and widespread poverty.

He appears to be clueless about the core nature of capitalism such as my ancestors experienced when they left Europe in the 1700’s.

He also appears to be oblivious to the fact that capitalism has brought much of humanity out of historical poverty.

Rush Limbaugh quoting Thomas Sowell addresses this September 22, 2015.

“In this instance, Obama and Moochelle are gonna be out there to greet the pope when he lands.  It’s not a long flight up here from Cuba.  He’s on an Alitalia jet, which is a capitalist airline.  Well, parts of it are.  I think it’s an Airbus.  It would matter because one’s a capitalist manufacturer and one’s a socialist manufacturer.

Thomas Sowell has a column today about the pope and his arrival, but primary it’s about the pope’s message.  I have highlighted three things that Sowell has written here because they’re brilliant.  They take issue with the pope and his belief that the objective for all of humanity is to end poverty.  And of course the pope believes that we’ve all done a rotten, horrible job of it, and that governments need to get bigger and they need to become populated with more and more compassionate people to find ways to get rid of poverty.

And of course Thomas Sowell points out that there’s one way to get rid of poverty.  But let me read to you what he wrote ’cause it’s really, really good, folks.

“Any serious look at the history of human beings over the millennia,” let’s say from the beginning of time “– Any serious look at the history of human beings over the millennia shows that the species began in poverty. It is not poverty, but prosperity, that needs explaining. Poverty is automatic.” Poverty is the natural state.  I’ll tell you the reason I like this is because it goes right at my definition of American exceptionalism, which is that since the beginning of time the existence for most of the world’s human beings has been bondage, tyranny, poverty, dictatorship.  It certainly has not been liberty.  It has not been freedom.  Not until the United States came along.  And that’s not an exaggeration. ”

“Another stat. Infant mortality rates in 1900 were 165 per thousand.  You know what that means?  For those of you in Rio Linda, what that means is for every thousand people born, 165 died.  Infant mortality rates.  In 1997, 97 years later, the infant mortality rate was seven per thousand.  It’s quite a reduction, from 165 per thousand in 1900 to 7% by 1997.  By 2001 most Americans living below the official poverty line had central air-conditioning, had a car, had cable TV, with multiple TV sets, and other amenities.  Poverty in the United States isn’t even close to what real poverty is around the world, and remember poverty is how the species began. ”

“I just wanted to share that with you because for the next five days you are going to hear nothing anywhere remotely like that.  You’re going to be hearing, you’re gonna be deluged with how unfair your country is, how unfeeling.  You’re going to be told how your country isn’t doing enough, hasn’t done enough, you aren’t doing enough.  You might hear how your country and you are selfish.  You might even hear how your country has taken things that it does not deserve and are not its own from other parts around the world.  You’re gonna hear all kinds of things the next four or five days to try to convince you how unjust, socially unjust your country is. ”

Get Ready: Pope’s Arrival Will Commence a Week of Trashing Capitalism

From Forbes on the original Peter Principle.

“You may think you’ve heard the Peter Principle before—something to the effect that, “In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.”

But the Peter Principle was more than an alarmingly nasty motto. It was an alarmingly nasty book—and a funny one at that, illustrating the efforts of many managers to seem productive when in fact they’re in over their heads.”

“Here are the core principles of Peter’s bungling world of management:

1. When you’re great at something, you might get rewarded with a promotion … into something you’re terrible at. A typical example, Peter said, is if you’re a great rule-follower who suddenly is placed in charge of making rules and decisions. You may well freeze up in your new role or gum up the productivity of everyone else.

2. Once you’re promoted to your level of incompetence, you probably won’t get fired and replaced with someone more competent. Instead, others will work around you. Whyaren’t you fired? Perhaps because you probably know too much about your boss’ business to be booted out too casually. Or because people have sympathy for you because you’re working so many hours. Or because the people who are supposed to judge you have reached their own level of incompetence, and damned if they’re able to realize how unproductive you are. So you now have reached the ominously termed station called “Final Placement.””

From the Washington Times September 22, 2015.

“Judge tells State Dept. to find more staffers to process Clinton emails

A federal judge urged the State Department to get more people on the case reviewing and releasing the emails of former Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and her top aides, saying Tuesday that all sides should be eager to get the matter behind them.

Judge Emmet G. Sullivan also rejected the State Department’s timeline for searching the aides’ emails and insisted the government have them all put in an electronic system by the end of this week, and do an initial search to see which ones are related to the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks next week.”

“Ms. Shapiro rejected that, saying they were caught unaware by the new emails Ms. Mills and Ms. Abedin turned over, more than two years after they left the State Department.

The State Department says it has the equivalent of about 63 full-time employees working on the thousands of open-records requests the department gets each year, and those staffers are being pushed to meet tight deadlines, including those imposed by more than a dozen judges now involved in some Clinton email-related cases.”

“In the case of Citizens United, the State Department had asked for at least until December to search the files of Ms. Abedin and Ms. Mills, but Judge Sullivan rejected that.

Instead he gave the department until the end of this week to have all of their emails put in a searchable database within the department, and gave them until next week to perform an initial search by keyword to determine the universe of documents that might be responsive to Citizens United’s request for information.”
