Family, Friends and Folks,
The following article has been brewing and stewing in my mind for weeks, gathering figments of facts, figures, fears, frustrations and famous frauds. Equally sensing a commonality with many who will take the time to read and/or consider the fruit of my fingers, my failure to select just one of the above titles expresses my mental condition.
If you have been reading my articles in The American Chronicle, you will find some repetition of thoughts... which I must recap for first time readers. Please stay with me as I attempt to offer all of you the clearest, most accurate chain of events now occurring in America.
Before proceeding, you must do some research on your own, primarily because I cannot present it as powerfully as it exists in its native state...Reality! You need to be a part of the experience, (or a contributor) to make the leap that is waiting for us all. This is not about any political party, religious affiliation, or ideology. I will try to make it easier for you.

Step 2.. Study these "clocks" until you are familiar with their general content.

Welcome back! Now we begin an analysis of what you just saw and heard. I hope you have the same gut feeling that I do. Not very good, is it? Letīs start with some questions. These are "in no particular order" ( Dancing With the Stars).
Why are so many issues being rushed to final legislation by Congress and the President?
Did you observe any continuity of relationships in the Frontline presentation?
Did you hear a confession of erroneous belief and behavior by Alan Greenspan?
Did you check the second page of the "Clocks?"
Did you notice the sources listed for the data used to develop the "Clocks?"
How would you prioritize the following issues facing Congress?
Immigration and Illegal Aliens
Same Sex Marriage
War in Iraq
War in Afghanistan
Korean Nuclear Threat
Iranian Nuclear Threat
2010 Elections
Somali Pirates
American Trade Deficits
Health Care Reform
The U.S. Economy
War on Terrorists
War on Poverty
War on Aids
Mortgage Foreclosures
Bank Failures
Auto Industry
Taxation
Congressional Ethics and Conduct
Arab/Israeli Conflict
Wall Street Bailouts
Stimulus Packages
Guantanamo Prisoners
H1N1 Pandemic
Sports Drugs
Presidential Czars
Constitutional Amendments
Special Interest Groups
Bankruptcies
Torture Policies
Education
Faith Based Initiatives
Foreign Aid
Fox News
Executive Bonus Packages
Military Budgets
Social Security Trust Funds
Congressional Pay and Perks
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
Term Limits
Diplomatic Relations
The United Nations
NATO
Energy
Global Warming
The Internet
Homeland Security
The Arts and Culture
Crime
Media
Tort Reform
Veterans
Americore
Medicare Fraud
ACORN
Pork, Pornography and Pot
Ad Infinitum (Your Personal Cause)
And we elect congressional people who should have all the answers to each of the above and a President who never ran so much as a lemonade stand.
It is my objective now to make some simple and controversial observations. If you selected any issue to be superior to The U. S. Economy, you have misunderstood the significance of the two steps above. All the rest pale in comparison to the tasks at hand to keep our nation from imminent collapse. All the rest are serving as "Distractions" to buy time from this critical arena.
When our currency either collapses or becomes disastrously inflated, it will be impossible to conduct our affairs until a new currency is issued. All debts, public and private, now payable in dollars will be uncollectible, or if paid and/or collected, will be useless. Do we resort to a bartering system? Use foreign currencies, or print script? Do our foreign debtors stake claims on U.S. properties? Should we buy gold and get as deeply in debt as possible?
Before we get to that, letīs review the evidence in Steps 1 and 2. In the Frontline video we learned how many secrets were being kept about the "Dirivatives Markets." Those would be called "Off balance sheet" items in the private sector, which means they might not show up on the "Clocks." If they are as large as depicted, our "bailouts" would not so much as dent the 70 to 100 Trillion dollar losses. So, where did they go? Are they now considered as "non-toxic?" The same people who dealt in these corruptible schemes are now running the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury. Why would we expect them to reveal the truth to the people who have, to the best of their knowledge, provided the numbers for the "Clocks?" Is it possible that the "Clocks" are grossly under reporting the true numbers? Who do we trust? They are bad enough as they are to warrant being placed on huge screens, continuously running on Congressional walls and in the Oval Office. They should be truly reflective of every dollar spent, committed or obligated by governmental actions. No legislation should exempt elected or appointed officials, staff members, or special interest groups.
Some other observations. The list above verifies the depth of evolvement by the government in all of our lives. I wrote a previous article about this ( "And To The Republic For Which It Stands...")(American Chronicle) to explain why we canīt just have a "small" government, as the Republicans insist. If you want to fully understand my involvement in all these issues, you might want to read all of my thirteen American Chronicle articles and to further back up my credentials,read my book, "Life on a Short Fuse." Web site: www.mylifeonloan.com Proceeds go to childrenīs charities.
We have long since passed my mental and physical capabilities, as well as my sources to confirm any or all of the above. So, in all honesty, I am forced to place a disclaimer to that effect on my reasoning and analysis. Perhaps I will have reached one or more of you who will pick up the mantle and raise a banner or propose a solution to change our course before it is too late. I do believe an informed and knowledgeable voter will make decidedly better choices and nothing produces truth better than the exposure to light.
Tennis anyone?
