September 7, 2009 journal, Labor Day celebrated without jobs but a new covenant signed. I am not sure what Labor Day celebrates but it is a holiday as no work is ever being done. Labor Day has a scattered history internationally. I think it should mean a day we go out to work for our neighbors to help them fix whatever is wrong in their houses and yards. Russia celebrates their labor day May first. In Canada it grew out of vicious labor strikes. Yes Virginia, there is no Santa Claus. We are all about to be free of debt which is slave- labor, every dollar of profit is somebody's blood. The capitalistic system actually is a slave system. Just 50 years ago store clerks worked for 60¢ an hour or about 1¢ per minute and took home less. The employer had to pay Unemployment Security tax to the state and the federal governments and many other taxes to be allowed to operate a business anywhere. Today $7 per hour is minimum wage worth less than 60¢ per hour and 10 times inflated. America created most all its own commodities and was an independent nation building the dies and molds for the greatest industrial success in recorded history but now we are flat. I will never forget going to Athens Georgia ball bat factory where men were working by the sweat of their brow with no air-conditioned. America built the very best ever made to produce a durable product. There are very few real working jobs left in America today. America has taken the bloody road of international aggression against historical advice. Labor Day is now all about play and it's not hard labor. Gold today just passed $1,000.00 per oz meaning the dollar (our debt) has gone into the final slide the slave master bankers, who gathered us in invisible chains of indoctrination ever since time came into focus it was the bankers who traded human flesh from western Africa to New York and then migrated to the Southern states eventually on plantations where they produced vast exports. It was greed in taxing those exports that brought on the Civil War. That was just one form of slavery whereas the entire nation is now bound up in slavery to the cool ruthless bankers. This year we have more unemployed people than probably in my entire life and even with all this sophisticated technology we cannot get a true count of all the jobs lost even since the bailout with 700,000 reported in January. I estimate from 30 to 50 million people are jobless. The system no longer works and I have said that for years when General Motors pay more for health insurance for their employees than the steel that goes in automobiles they manufacture. I was an employer and I know how painful it is to pay those payroll taxes on labor with matching Social Security funds by the employer until it breaks down. The failure in the workplace is no surprise whatsoever to me. Now the pinch comes as people are hungry and desperate. In all likelihood by the end of this year half the people in American will be out of income with no money and no jobs. Then is when the change will come and I can see it coming now. Wall Street will be devastated and all of the corporate havens will be raided. There will not be one rich man standing from Maine to California. It will not be a time to own a Cadillac that cost $70,000. One would be safer with a mule and a plow doing a garden planting enough for your neighbors making sure everyone eats. When government gets this corrupt as it has progressively for the last hundred years the pendulum starts to swing like it has in France for the last thousand years. Don't talk to me about saving this rotten government or this rotten economic system or this rotten health- care system because there's no way to save it. It's about to be one big free-for-all over all. The totalitarian mind-set of the federal government is the same in the state governments, none are worth saving and none will be saved. If I had any money in the bank I would take it out and spend it while it at least still buys something. Product is running out in a hurry.
