Not Supporting Healthcare Reform Bill Supporters

November 10, 2009 (By Bud Burrell)

– From “Front and Center”, by Bud Burrell –

I have been asked to address what, if anything, could be done if supporters of the current Healthcare Reform Bill passed by the house and sent to the Senate for its processes should be voted into Law. Voters first remedy would be to throw out of office any elected officials who supported this legislation with their votes.  They could and should do this at the coming Mid-Term Elections coming in 2010, or they could impeach these same officials now with a petition for recall now, and not wait.

If either such actlon failed to turn over the law by causing amending new legislation, voters would have the right to challenge the new law on Constitutional grounds, beginning with a specific challenge on the Enumeration Clause contained within the 10th Amendment of the US Constitution. This clause limits the Federal Government to actions specifically delegated to it by the Constitution, with all other rights falling under the jurisdiction of the States individually. [entire post]

Counterfeiting A To Z: Redux From July, 2008

Over Eighty (80) Years of COUNTERFEITING, COUNTERFEITING, COUNTERFEITING, Ad Infinitum, Ad Nausea

Senator Bennett used the word the word EIGHT (8) times in the broadcast meeting of the Senate Banking Committee with Paulson, Bernanke, and Cox.  He directed most of his comments directly to Honorable Chairman Cox, who reacted with about 40 tells indicating he was being less than completely honest at best, constantly touching his lips, eyes, ears, and mouth.  In my basic training in interrogation, such actions were a major RED FLAG.  Maybe a little recitation of the case history of Counterfeiting would be helpful here.  There is nothing here not contained in my previous writings, but a linear recitation could be of value to others with a single focus.

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

The modern history of counterfeiting of commercial securities began over 80 years ago. It started with the wholesale traditional counterfeiting of stock certificates to support the short selling activities of more than 500 pools comprised of the assets of the wealthiest individuals in this country at the time, over a 3 year period leading to the October, 1929 Raid-related Crash.

The refinement of the earliest photo lithography made it possible to produce reasonably high quality counterfeit stock certificates duplicating the real ones. These certificates could then be loaned to short sellers to create a required “borrow” to secure the margined short, especially useful when stocks were tightly held.   The manual back offices of the brokerage firms never knew the difference, and they never saw what hit their companies until it was too late.
