THE AMERICAN TAPEWORM

[Joanne98]

A Tapeworm’s Triumph

The other day, a natural healing practitioner explained the strategy used by a tapeworm to prosper. A tapeworm, she said, injected a chemical into its host that triggered a craving by the host for what the tapeworm wished for its dinner. By managing it’s hosts desire, a tapeworm manipulated its host to set aside self-interest and please its parasite. And so the tapeworm proceeded to consume its host’s energy and health, with the host doing most of the work.

The story of how a tapeworm parasitically eats away at its ecosystem came at a moment when the math lover in me was having an adverse reaction to the description of America as the new Roman Empire that seems to be inspired by the recent occupation of Iraq. The investment economics of American imperial conquest work more along the lines of the tapeworm than of the Romans.

If my rudimentary understanding of the rise and fall of ancient empires is useful, the Roman Empire brought an advancement of science, infrastructure, technology and material progress to many of the poorer lands that it conquered. In essence, Rome’s territory grew in part from its ability to increase the ‘return on investment” of many of the places it conquered.

While those who believe in self-determination may not approve of the Romans right to do so, or their methods, those of us who appreciate roads, bridges and infrastructure understand the positive investment yields that the introduction of intellectual capital to a place can generate. From one point of view, Rome financed its conquests not just by ransacking them --- but by making places smarter in the material sense.

The tapeworm -- a parasite that over time eats its host ---can more accurately describe the demonic patterns of stripping places of intellectual capital that come with American imperial conquest. The “dumbing down” so often complained about within America’s borders is a phenomenon that our military appears to be implementing globally. We seem intent on removing spiritual power and intellectual IQ as we depopulate globally, moving out the honest and competent and putting the corrupt and bureaucratic in charge.

One of the things that is most disturbing about the American tapeworm is that it has organized its leadership around private banks and defense contractors and its governance and intellectual air cover around think tanks and private universities and their tax-exempt endowments.

In so doing it has done a marvelous job of getting the intellectual resources of the nation disengaged from dealing with what is happening and engaged –if not financially dependent on--- producing chemicals for injection into the body politic through a highly centralized corporate media that will feed the tapeworm's desire.

The Harvard Watch reports description of Harvard academics creating the public policy justifications for Enron's frauds while the Harvard endowment fed at the trough illuminated a perfect example of how the tapeworm gets the host to act against its own self-interest.


***********
The “Break It-Fix It” Subsidy of a Negative Return on Investment Economy

For several years, I have been studying and writing on the corporate and banking economic warfare model of globalization. Just from a case study of one private investor, Pug Winokur, and his investments in and with DynCorp, Enron and Harvard, examples abound.


- US neighborhoods are overrun with narcotics trafficking and HUD financial fraud while systematically worked by enforcement, seizure and War on Drugs teams supported by DynCorp and generating profits for the Harvard Endowment;
- Latin American pipelines, water and other assets are sold for significant discounts to market value to Enron and other multinational investors while DynCorp helps War on Drugs military teams move peasants off the lands;

- Russian banks and pension funds are emptied out by organized crime and laundered through NY Fed member banks while Harvard as financial advisor helps privatize Russian oil companies over to their endowment investment network;

- DynCorp personnel supplying police and aircraft maintenance are active with local mafia in Eastern Europe and practice buying and selling children as slaves which they use for sex;

- $3.3 trillion is missing from the Department of Defense and the Department of Housing Development where Lockheed, DynCorp & AMS are active managing computer systems and Harvard supplies appointees and contract services.

- Manipulation of the gold markets by the US Treasury and NY Fed member banks are led by Larry Summers, Secretary of the Treasury, and now President of Harvard and his predecessor Robert Rubin, Secretary of Treasury, and now member of the Harvard Corporation Board.
These shenanigans are well documented by a series of courageous reporters and market commentators, including Anne Williamson, Greg Palast, Kelly O’Meara, William Murphy and Chris Sanders.

This tapeworm operates globally. It has been winning at economic warfare because those opposed to it cannot see it clearly and are not yet networked globally to move people, places and capital out of its reach. My pastor, Bishop Alfred Owens, says, “If we can face it, God can fix it.” Indeed, divine authority is hamstrung-- waiting for the necessary global networks to align around a common map of the real deal about global consolidation of economic and political power --- and the resulting liquidation of wealth.

This tapeworm is managed tightly by the cartels that syndicate around central banking and warfare and it has four phases:


- Phase One--Break It: Private syndicates make money destroying a place through organized crime, covert operations, warfare or a variety of both;
- Phase Two- Buy It: The profit generated from breaking it is used to buy or seize “legal control” at a discount;

- Phase Three- Fix It: Government funding, credit and subsidies are then used to “fix it” while harvesting remaining assets, including with narcotics trafficking, sex slavery and any other form of liquidating the human, intellectual, environmental and physical capital in a place:

- Phase Four—Declare Victory: Victory is then declared and a flow of foundation and academic grants funded by the “break it-fix it” profits generate awards, photo opportunities and official archives and documentations for the perpetrators to be admired for their bringing of advanced civilization to the natives.
What emerges from an investment banker’s analysis of billions of transactions involved in situation after situation, in place after place, in year after year, is surprisingly simple.

We are watching a global first world economy that has a negative return on investment.

For example, in 1997 I lead an analysis of US federal expenditures and credit activities in the Philadelphia area for a group of US pension fund leaders. After analysis of the detailed data resulting from $10 billion of government reengineering and $400 billion of federal credit portfolio strategy managed by my company, the evidence was overwhelming ---the federal investment in Philadelphia had a negative return on investment. In short, government budgets were rigging profits and income for companies and people in the area. After each year of government investment, Philadelphia spent more time doing things that were fundamentally not productive and so had been paid to grow “stupider.”

The deterioration in environment, culture, infrastructure and quality of life in Philadelphia that was obvious from walking around the city matched the numbers rather than the spin in the corporate news that the economy was doing well. Equity yields were falling steadily and only cooked government and corporate books could make it look otherwise. The primary thing on the rise was the smugness of the leaders of Philadelphia institutions as their success at covert management and personal “personnel benefits” grew ever stronger.


**************
The Giant Sucking Sound as the Tapeworm Consumes Global Capital

Another way of saying this is that the banking and corporate model as currently constituted does not work. Banks and corporations are entirely dependent on rigged government budgets, government contracts, federal credit arbitrage and corrupt regulation in way that generates a negative return on investment for taxpayers. In addition, as corporations and banks become dependent on such government intervention they become progressively less able to function in a free market. Their culture becomes progressively soviet.

The combination of negative returns to taxpayers and increasingly non-market worthy private organizations is steadily lowering productivity. Add to this the increasingly power of organized crime as a % of GNP and a determinant of who sits in power on Wall Street and Washington, and fundamental productivity does not have a chance.

This state of affairs can go on as long as it can be financed. Hence, as long as America can continue to export dollars, export Treasury bills and mortgage backed and other federally supported credit, and lead in global organized crime and warfare, a negative return economy can continue.

Another way to say this is that rather than let markets adjust in a manner that would hold banks and corporations accountable, the central banks and military and enforcement machinery will guarantee markets by offsetting ever less productivity with ever greater amounts of debt and the liquidation of planetary assets – people, places, and all living things.

Which leads us to Iraq.


**************
The Tapeworm Ransacking of Iraq

The economic desperation that lead up to the invasion of Iraq has been eloquently described by Chris Sanders of Sanders Research Associates and fits the patterns that SRA colleague, John Laughland and his colleagues at the British Helskinki Human Rights Group, have documented in Eastern Europe. Assuming the patterns that we have seen throughout the world apply, that tapeworm’s economic desperation will feed on Iraq as follows:


- The first meal to be harvested on Iraq is the profits of invasion --- from government contracts and arms trafficking to media coverage.
- The second meal to be harvested on Iraq is the resulting control of assets, including gold, oil, bank accounts and antiquities. Iraq will be stripped, shipped, or otherwise switched to new ownership. Occupiers will use Iraqi assets to leverage more debt that generates more contracts and business for the inside companies. The antiquities in Iraq and this area of the world have a special meaning and attraction for the American and British leadership networks so don't underestimate the value of these. The gold bugs at LeMetropole Café reported that the Americans have captured $1 billion of gold which was quite relevant as the NY Fed Banks particularly JP Morgan, Goldman, Citibank, are running significant short positions to suppress the gold price. Such a replenishment of their stocks (or the US Treasury who they may be trading on the account of -- they usually simply move the shorts over to the taxpayers on all these types of situations) will be quite refreshing.

- The third meal on Iraq to be harvested will be occupation management. If Eastern Europe is representative, America will partner with local and global organized crime and other intelligence agencies to significantly increase organized crime profits from the place. Attractive children will be culled from the population for shipment to Europe and other areas for sex slavery and pedophilia. Narcotics trafficking will increase as it has in Afghanistan. The award to CSC DynCorp of a $500 million sole source contract to run police, courts and judiciary in Iraq is an important signal. My question after years of research is whether CSC DynCorp’s core competencies relates to enforcement infrastructure designed for places with growing financial fraud, narcotics trafficking, sex slavery and control of leadership through "control files.” These are the talents that America needs to strip mine the assets to feed its economic desperation.

- The fourth meal to be harvested on Iraq will be fixing it and declaring victory. This will involve significant government contracts to bring Western Civilization as defined by building those things that ensure the assets that the private corporations and investors have now acquired have the largest increase in value at no expense to themselves. A careful analysis will show expenditure rations in the soviet style—that is we will spend much more than necessary to get anything done. The banks will acquire an entirely new market. Critical to the fixing it phase is the financing of the occupation with the requirement that Iraq use the US dollar. We will print dollars and the Iraqi’s will use them. This is free financing for us. Next will come the payback for the not for profit groups. Because Christianity is an essential political support base for legitimizing the de-population of the Moslem territories, a flow of resources to the right church groups to support an expansion of their missionary ministries is likely. Progressive groups will bid for contracts to bring the rule of law and economic development and things like “the rights of women.” There will be a flow of money from foundations and universities to study how to help Iraq and to justify what we are doing.
As the corporations and banks are digesting Iraq, the American tapeworm will be setting its sights for the next meal. The money will be flowing to the right think tanks, academia and media apparatus for the preparation of the next injection into the body politic.

The lethal combination of a debt based financial system, falling productivity and the absence of meaningful feedback systems means that the magic of compound interest will dictate that the American tapeworm’s hunger for more capital is accelerating.


**************
Where is the Tapeworm’s Brain?

The great mystery in all of this is who is really in charge. On one hand, we are watching an official action of the American governmental apparatus. On the other hand, that governmental apparatus is now run by the private companies and banks that operate the apparatus accounts and systems and finance its ever-growing debts. The investors behind these entities are global, not American. This is not a picture of a sovereign government or leaders loyal to the American people. A review of global insurance risk positions, debt and capital markets would show more about who is managing what than American politics. Indeed, Greg Palast of the BBC has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Bush lost the election – something of no practical consequence thanks to the Supreme Court and the corporate media.

The tapeworm is in control and eating into the people of America as it is eating into the people of Iraq. Federal accounts are missing $3.3 trillion, pension funds have been stripped by pump and dump stock fraud and neighborhoods are overrun with narcotics trafficking. There are increasingly numbers of American citizens who have more in common with the people of Iraq than with the leadership of Wall Street and Washington.

With the takeover of American digital data by defense contractors and banks managing governmental functions, economic warfare takes on a whole new meaning. What is supposed to be private is not as those in the know have total access. What is supposed to be transparent is private, except for those in the know who are free to use it to advantage. With total defense contractor information awareness, people can be adjusted to ensure that markets do not have to adjust.

The American tapeworm is a symptom that the central banking-warfare model that has created the supremacy of the English-speaking people since the time of Queen Elizabeth I is dying. It is dying not because it is wrong but because it is weak. It is dying because --- like a tapeworm – it has begun to create a rapidly weaker system. Hence it is incumbent upon the English-speaking people to reinvent themselves by engaging globally to invent a new model.

Yet, the opportunity to move to a new model requires the ability to see where we are and to outline a vision to those in the system that there is hope. Doing so becomes progressively more important as who is in charge is less important than how many of us are dependent for our bread and butter on a negative return on investment economy as it tapeworms its way towards planetary extinction --- and all of us with it.

In short, the primary problem is not that the folks in charge are centralizing wealth in a destructive way or that some have too much money. That’s a problem – but a secondary one. The problem is that from the point of view of the dolphins, the plants and the trees, the planet is worse off for the presence of humans.

All solutions are found when we realize that this is something you and I can correct without wasting more time trying to find someone in charge of the tapeworm to persuade them to change its ways. It can’t change --- its too busy finding food to feed all of us.

Now read sequel to this article.... Mapping The Real Deal: The Solari Solution for an explanation about what we can do to combat The American Tapeworm.

3. FLUSHING OUT THE TAPEWORM!

The American Tapeworm -- Debt Up, Equity Down & Out

The real deal in US government financial matters today is that there are two plans to finance the current government deficits.

The first plan is the “American Tapeworm” model. ( See links below.) Under the leadership of the Bush Administration (and before that, the Clinton Administration) and with the support of Congress and the Supreme Court, the American Tapeworm model is to simply finance the federal deficit through warfare, currency exports, Treasury and federal credit borrowing and cutbacks in domestic “discretionary” spending.

The resulting state and local deficits will then be financed with state and local tax and user fee increases, cutbacks, employee layoffs and increased borrowing. This will then place local municipalities and local leadership in a highly vulnerable position – one that will allow them to be persuaded with bogus but high-minded sounding arguments to further cut resources. Then, to “preserve bond ratings and the rights of creditors,” our leaders can be persuaded to sell our water, natural resources and infrastructure assets at significant discounts of their true value to global investors. This process of persuasion will be with a carrot and stick, the carrot taking the form of a piece of the action and the stick taking the form of the threat of targeting by smear campaigns and covert operations.

ADVERTISEMENT
Global investors will purchase our discounted natural resources and infrastructure by reinvesting the trillions of dollars that have been stolen from our pension funds through dot.com and Enron-type pump and dump fraud (the recent $1.4 billion settlement with Wall Street indicated that investors have lost $8 trillion) and through money stolen from federal accounts (for more on the officially documented $3.3 trillion in “undocumentable adjustments” from the Department of Defense (DOD) and $59 billion from Housing and Urban Development (HUD), see links below).

Global and institutional investors will then experience significant capital gains when multinational corporations raise the user fees on basic services to Americans by many multiples. This will all be described as a plan to “save America” by recapitalizing it on a sound financial footing. In fact, this process will simply shift more capital continuously from America to other continents and from the lower and middle classes to elites.

This parasitic plan is a criminal leveraged buyout of America -- buying a country for cheap with its own money and then jacking up the rents and fees to steal the rest. It has an infinite rate of return for the folks who are doing the stealing. It shifts equity wealth to a few in a manner that shrinks total wealth. It is the next step of the negative return on investment economy perpetuated by syndicates like the investors, banks, attorneys and senior managers of Enron, DynCorp and groups like them described in my last Mapping the Real Deal column, " The American Tapeworm."


********************


The Solari Solution -- Debt Down, Equity Up & In

In contrast, the Solari Solution, suggests that instead the American people should simply seize back stolen federal funds through the power of offsets. These offsets (which could take the form of, for example, the local assumption of a federal obligation) would be applied and managed by a locally created and controlled solari. In fact, the legal construct used by the federal government to try to destroy my company and me creates one of the precedents that can be used to do so. ( See links below.)

One of the many reasons that I am confident that the Solari plan works is the ferocity with which the federal government has tried to prevent me from implementing it. In an effort to destroy my last company, the federal government seized our company funds by “common law offset” whereby, without contract or statutory authority, the government declined to pay contractually-owed funds in the amount of the “offset,” leaving us to file suit to recover the money legitimately owed to us.

In other words, the government shifted the burden of proof so that instead of the government establishing in court that it had a claim to the money (which it could not do), it put the burden on my company to establish that the government had no such claim. If this were not enough, to date, through administrative delaying tactics and arguably illegal pressure through the courts, the Department of Justice has succeeded in preventing any case from going to trial for over five years, during which the government has control and use of our money. I suggest that we adopt this precedent the federal government and judiciary has now created to shut off the American Tapeworm once and for all.

The chart below lists annual federal individual tax payments as of FY1999 and our resident population. An American resident’s pro rata share of $3.3 trillion of undocumentable adjustments (that is approximately $11,700 per American) from the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is approximately twice your 1999 tax bite.

If you multiply the 1999 individual tax payments in your state times two and compare that to what you are being told about your current state and local deficits you will notice one thing no matter where you live -- if we bring transparency to federal accounts and hold the federal government legally responsible for compliance with the laws that require audited financial statements and reliable financial systems, there will be plenty left over both to fund your state and local deficits and to properly capitalize (through the use of locally controlled solaris) attractive municipal asset privatizations and infrastructure and small business investment.

In addition to reengineering government investment locally and the flow of equity capital to small business and locally controlled privatization transactions, the Solari Solution significantly increases both individual and total wealth and restores the positive return-on-investment economy. This is how we can address our overhang of debt and liabilities.
More on how to do that is described in my recent Mapping the Real Deal column, “ Solari Rising,” and the links therein. ( See links below.)


********************
The California Example

Let's look at an example so we can understand the power of the Solari Solution to solve our most pressing problems.

In FY 1999, according to IRS data, California residents and those making individual payments on their behalf paid approximately $185 billion in individual taxes. That means that Californians citizens’ pro rata share of the missing $3.3 trillion at the Department of Defense and approximately $59 billion missing at Housing & Urban Development is approximately $370 billion. According to recent reports, California's deficit is approximately $35 billion. That means if California simply had access to its share of the missing money (through a solari-type offset or otherwise), it could fund the current state deficit for ten years.

It sounds to me like there ought to be a lot of attorneys in California willing to get together over at the Chamber of Commerce or the Farm Bureau and figure out how to start a solari and use it to ensure that our tax dollars are managed in accordance with the law in a manner that preserves jobs, pays for health care and builds local equity.


********************
Real Cash Flowing Out of Through the Tapeworm’s Criminal Enterprise

When discussing this plan, I hear numerous comments as to why we can't do the Solari Solution and should keep sending $5,000 plus a year per person to the US federal governmental apparatus even though approximately 85% is going to agencies who under corporate guidelines would loose their ability to issue securities as they were deemed not worthy of playing with other people’s moneys under the law and stock exchange guidelines.

First, the arguments go, the $3.3 trillion in undocumentable adjustments are accounting adjustments and no cash is necessarily missing. This is good spin – but it is not true. When a large organization has had all the time and money in the world to comply with basic legal standards of transparency and fiduciary management and has systematically refused to do so and moreover indicates that it is severely troubled and cannot account for its money, we know there is fraud.

It is likewise a form of fraud on Americans for the federal government to tolerate federal financial officers’ failure to produce audited financial statements as required by law, to pay billions of dollars to defense contractors for the creation and management of federal financial systems that result in no audit trail, no reliable financial controls, and the continued employment of these same contractors following repeated failures to perform. If the law were applied to these bare facts, this is gross negligence constituting criminal fraud even before exploring the issue of how much cash is missing and where it went.

The $3.3 trillion of undocumentable adjustments surely is an unreliable number, since it is produced by an unreliable source (i.e., the federal financial statement). The federal books have been cooked in a manner that is significantly outside the boundaries of the law. But be assured that when the government makes “undocumentable adjustments against Treasury” in the trillions of dollars, this is government-speak for theft of real taxpayer money. As a leader of the movement advocating transparency in federal accounts, I and my company have been systematically targeted for eight years and my company's private software tools designed to bring transparency were seized and, as a practical matter, destroyed by agents of the federal government.

I have documented numerous examples of intentional policies that cause the Federal Housing Administration accounts at HUD to lose billions of fund monies unnecessarily. Why are they doing this? Because the policies they are using make it easier to steal -- that's why! When this much time and money is spent trying to destroy the credibility of the people bringing transparency, it is because transparency is feared greatly.

My worse fears of the illegality of the government financial operations were confirmed when the chief of staff to the chairman of the HUD appropriations committee told me in the summer of 2000 that HUD was being run "as a criminal enterprise." HUD can only be run as a criminal enterprise if the Department of Treasury, the Department of Justice, the NY Fed as depository and a group of contractors like Lockheed, DynCorp, AMS, & JP Morgan Chase run it as a criminal enterprise.

If the lead attorneys and accountants for the US government are running HUD as a criminal enterprise, that means that the US government is being run as a criminal enterprise. In short, the accounting, finances and the securities issuance operations of the US government are part of a criminal enterprise.


********************
The Power of the Federal Credit in the Hands of a Criminal Enterprise

Another comment that I hear is that $3.3 trillion is more than could possibly have been stolen in three years, given the flow of taxes and the size of the budgets at the DOD and HUD. This is not correct. The nature of the federal apparatus is such that theft of such an amount can be organized with relatively little cash using the federal credit: through the continuously recycled purchase of federal guaranteed securities such as Treasury debt, Ginnie Mae securities and other federal credit assets.

We have a securities issuance operation not constrained by reliable systems or transparency. We have computer and accounting systems under the control of private corporations and banks with no provision to insure information sovereignty by government employees. We have leading banks like JP Morgan-Chase engaging in alleged fraudulent transactions such as secured debt issuance without perfection of collateral liens and manipulation of the international gold market. In short, we have all the conditions necessary for a financial coup d'etat. How do we know how much federal credit has been issued and is trading in the market place?

Without legally required and reliable audited financial statements and systems, we have no way of knowing the true state of federal financial affairs. Without an accurate account and servicing by unbiased and independent professionals, we have no basis to believe that the federal government has not engaged in significant over-issuance of securities and other types of securities fraud. Until we have audited financial statements from reliable auditors produced from systems created, managed and controlled by government employees reasonably protected from covert operations and “control files”, America is a financial banana republic whose securities are ripe for de-listing by global investors.

********************

Indecent Excuses

Indeed, the excuses for the failure to provide Americans with the audited financial statements, place-based reporting and intelligible contracting budgets grow ever more offensive.

The reasons given by the Army for the failure to comply with the requirement for audited financial statements in 2001 was due to, "the loss of financial management personnel sustained during the September 11 terrorist attack." Hence, the US military cannot stop terrorist attacks despite prior warnings, then can not protect their own headquarters an hour after the first act of war, but are rewarded with an increase in appropriations of $48 billion. Despite being flush with so much new cash, they have been so devastated by the impact of 9-11 on their financial operations, which are located in another state, that they can not produce financial statements a year later.

Are you willing to endure further cutbacks in local services and sales of natural resources that our very lives depend on in order to turn over another year of tax payments to a group that comes up with such implausible explanations? Or does this sound like a good time to get with local attorneys about our right as localities to create local federal tax set-asides under common or statutory law. Its time for local management and oversight of local expenses.

How many contractors are earning $25-250 a hour for jobs we can do excellently in our own community for much less? How about retiring our pro-rata share of the federal debt until the federal government can produce financial statements that account for all the federal cash and credit we have generated since 1995, when federal laws went into effect to require proper financial and accounting disclosure? What would the IRS do to you if YOU had refused to produce accurate financial statements to the federal government since 1995? I suspect you would be in jail.

Holding the federal government accountable to obey the law and to obey the most basic principles of fiduciary management and Judeo-Christian stewardship sounds like a better plan to me than cutbacks, issuing IOUs and selling our drinking water and other natural resources.


********************
Flushing Out the American Tapeworm

America does not have deficits -- we have a white-collar crime drain that is a financial tapeworm.

Let's stop the drain and get back the money that has been siphoned off by criminals to offshore and private bank accounts.

Let's not allow more hard earned funds to be drained out of our bank and pension fund accounts and lost through dollar devaluation.

Let us refuse to sell off our water and other precious natural resources to private investors who will jack up our water and utility bills by 1000% the way they have done in Latin America and Eastern Europe as global financial predators move in for their economic warfare kill.

The federal government refuses to obey the law. That is the definition of a criminal. The federal government is engaged in gross negligence and criminal enterprise. My story and the missing $3.36 trillion proves it . The federal government's criminality is disobedient to all principles of fiduciary soundness and stewardship -- whether under the laws of the United States, the standards of global investment, or the spiritual principles of Judeo-Christian and other world religions.

Tell your Congressional Representatives you are voting for the Solari Solution -- and tell them to get your money back now.

But don't wait for them.

Organize a solari. Find your local attorneys and determine what rights of set-aside and escrow are appropriate for us as citizens to ensure that our tax money is managed directly by us under local control for proper governmental purposes in compliance with the law.

Vote now for the Solari Solution.
