Social Security, Medicare Outlooks Worsen

Longevity. A very important word, when we talk about retirement. 70 or 80 years before full retirement is possible, if employees are taken care of in the work place by their employers. Don't misunderstand me. Employees have an obilgation for their own safety. I started working in the fields at the age of about 10 along with my older brothers. We worked 12 to 16 hour days,6 to 7 days a week with no overtime, no health insurance, no safety equipment, and no safety rules. Our biggest hazard in the fields was rattlersnakes, which we had great respect for. We didn't know anything about summer vacations or holidays. Holidays, only during the school year. My first vacation was on December of 1960, while I was serving in the Marine Corps. One thing come to mind, and that's that we want to enjoy our golden years to make up for all the years that we've worked. If we enjoy our life to the fullest when we're young, the latter years won't be so bad. My wife and I are raising the grandchildren and life isn't so bad, considering that one is a special needs child. We don't have the freedom that most people want, but they're worth it. The challenges seem to be greater, than when we were kids ourselves. Peer pressure on the kids seems to be the biggest challenge. The worst that's ever happened to me was that I almost a finger while serving in the Marines. I learned that you can't trust someone elses actions. I have worked in home construction, the steel mills, and the chemical industry. I've had supervisors try to get me in positions, where I could've gotten injured. If, I had done what I was told to do, I wouldn't be here today. My point is, that safety is responsibility of both the employer and the employee. If we want to set a higher age for retirement, we need to take better care of the workers. Healthwise, we may be able to live 80 or 100 years, but disabled workers drain your resources. I'm here today only by the Grace of GOD. I'm here to do a job, and when it's done, He will call me home. I pray to God, that I'm ready when he calls me home.

The Social Security and Medicare needs to be fixed now! While I understand what you are saying is true, you also need to tell the truth about where the money has gone. I don't care if you are Republican or Democrat, if you want to fix this problem, then make Pres. Bush pay back all the Social Security money that he took out of it to fund his Iraq oil war! This is not the ranting and raving of some nut, nor is it rumor, or something made up or something I heard, this is fact! Check it out for yourself, anyone can do it. Just ask Social Security if you want to know the real truth. He took billions of dollars out to fund the Iraq war.

“We will go into a country,” said Ferguson, “and say, here is your goddamn development plan. Throw it out the window. Start looking at the size of your population and figure out what must be done to reduce it.”

“If you don’t like that, if you don’t want to choose to do it through planning, then you’ll have an El Salvador or an Iran, or worse, a Cambodia.” According to an NSC spokesman, the United States now shares the view of former World Bank President Robert McNamara that the “population crisis” is a greater threat to U.S. national security interests than “nuclear annihilation.” “Every hot spot in the world corresponds to a population crisis point,” said Ferguson who would rename Brzezinski’s arc of crisis doctrine the “arc of population crisis.”

This is corroborated by statements in the NSC Ad Hoc Group’s April 1980 report. There is “an increased potential for social unrest, economic and political instability, mass migration and possible international conflicts over control of land and resources,” says the NSC report. It then cites “demographic pressures” as key to understanding “examples of recent warfare in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, El Salvador, Honduras, and Ethiopia, and the growing potential for instability in such places as Turkey, the Philippines, Central America, Iran, and Pakistan.” Through extraordinary efforts, the Ad Hoc Group and OPA estimate that they may be able to keep a billion people from being born through contraceptive programs.

But as the Ad Hoc Group’s report states, the best efforts of the Shah of Iran to institute “clean programs” of birth control failed to make a significant dent in the country’s birth rate. The promise of jobs, through an ambitious industrialization program, encouraged migration toward “overcrowded cities” like Teheran. Now under Ayatollah Khomeini, the “clean programs” have been dismantled. The government may make progress because it has a program “to induce up to half of Teheran’s 6 million residents to relocate, as well as possible measures to keep rural migrants from moving to the cities.” Behind the back of the President, Ferguson and others involved with the OPA and NSC group maintain that the United States will continue a foreign policy based on a genocidal reduction of the world’s population.

“We have a network in place of cothinkers in the government,” said the OPA case officer. “We keep going, no matter who is in the White House.” But Ferguson reports that the “White House” does not really understand what they are saying and that the President “thinks that population policy means how do we speed up population increase.”

“As long as no one says differently,” said Ferguson, “we will continue to do our jobs.”

Of interest

We’ve never admired Stewart Brand or any other environmentalist dupe, but it is somewhat noteworthy when an old lefty comes to his senses and figures out that population reduction is the real threat.

Social security is a fake--it is actually a social insecurity, since people are assimilated to numbers like animals, and the number is exposed by the Government everywhere. That's how the Government helps people feel more secure. Try this at your home--say something against this "security" and you'll have problems at your work place, and people will refuse to hire you, you'll notice "movement" in your bank account, just for you to feel more secure and be silent. Somebody occasionally will break into your home or will break your car windows and so on...so this is the security we are talking about--and it is against citizens, it is to protect the corrupted power.

This SS allowed for a maximum centralization of personal data that Nazzi and the communists only dreamed of--and EUREKA!!!! We made it possible!!!!

Ion Ianolide- The PROPHET Prisoner

“The prisoner feels that in the foreseeable future the communist power will be annihilated. He is sad because he sees that those who had the power loom as masters of communization of the country and the world to come. ( USA and western European countries have more and more of the characteristics of totalitarian regimes—my note).

He is concerned because he understands that that a new tyrannical order that will be installed will be without opponents. The golden calf, the ancient god shows itself today as a powerful industry in the spirit of humanity. It is a pseudo-religion of material dogmas.

The State that has monopoly over sophisticated weapons, genetic engineering and the art of determining the conscience will be powerful and will destroy mankind. Nobody guarantees freedom of people in this civilization, no one can govern technological forces in this civilization.

Therefore humanity lives on the heights of despair. All the world's solutions are the Cross of Christ and Christians, many times we lose the way, or will idle about, we return to the Gospel and the Holy Spirit. “

Ioan Ianolide, 1985.
