Everything the government touches turns to failure. It showed with Katrina, and it shows in fixing the education system. All the wars show it, too. Everything the government touches rots away. Gerald Celente says, “The only thing that they’re good at doing is providing their illusion of competence.”

They do this by making a big deal when a political figure arrives in a city or goes to some foreign destination. Its a big show, and frankly, all the money they spend on just 1 arrival – with the red carpets, huge airplanes, mob-like security protection, fine dining, etc – could feed hundreds of families for a day. And who pays for it all? You and me. The hard-working, blood-sweating American.

Why do we put up with it? Why do we go with the flow and let the politics have their way and get treated like royalty when we slave away just to have our tax dollars go toward making THEIR lives easier? Really, c’mon. All of the political “ceremony” is an illusion, and that’s why they appear to have POWER – they create a pompous illusion that they’re “civil servants” and are here to help.

Well I’ve got news for you. The majority of them are not. They’re no where near “civil servants” when they make thousands of dollars more per month than the real hard-working average American. The real servants are us… the ones who go to work day after day, pay our taxes and the illegal income tax, only to be taxed some more by politicians wasting our tax dollars.

As the popular documentary called “Meltup” mentioned, a lot could change if the “civil servants” were paid minimum wage instead of their current wages and salaries.

Trends research guru Gerald Celente goes on to describe how politicians keep creating illusion after illusion of their righteousness and power. “Again, by their deeds, you shall know them…. Its the same scenario that plays over and over again. Whether its in economics, an oil spill or any disasters.”

“First they downplay it. Then they say they have it under control. And then you can see it spiraled way out of control.”

“So this is just a familiar pattern. Whether we’re talking about the Greek economic crisis, the financial meltdown. ‘The fundamentals of the economy are sound.’ They keep playing same tunes over and over again.”

“And when you go back to Earth Day, 2010, when the environmental disaster in the Gulf first broke out, what were they saying? ‘A thousand gallons of oil were escaping.’ And that went on for weeks….”

That sneaky little pattern Gerald Celente pointed out really makes sense. You can see it pan out in that order whenever a disaster happens, physical or political.

Want to hear about another cover up and pompous illusion? Its the figures the government gave concerning how many jobs were created in the last few months. They tagged on hundreds of thousands to the count when they hired all the temporary census workers. How could they blatantly lie to all of us, saying ‘the economy is getting better because look, more jobs!’?? What a bunch of liars. What a bunch of losers. Do they think we’re stupid?

The census jobs came and went. They were only temporary. And what good did they do anyway? None! The economy didn’t gain ANYTHING from the census jobs. And where did their paychecks come from? If nothing was sold to make the money to pay for the census workers, if nothing was traded… where did the money come from?

Yes, another tax on Americans. The more money the government spends (even on payroll checks) when it doesn’t have anymore to spend, they transfer that deficit AND all the consequences directly to the hard-working American. We have to pay for it. And when we can’t pay our own bills because gasoline is so expensive, medical care and insurance is unaffordable, healthy foods are high-priced, and there’s essentially a tax on EVERYTHING you can think of… when we can’t pay for it, we get hurt – NOT the politicians.

So the census jobs were temporary government jobs that didn’t do a lick of good for our economy. That’s how the government rolls. That’s the garbage “jobs” they create for us, and then they say in effect, ‘The economy is getting better’.

Gerald Celente also says, “The crash of 2010 is under way. What are people going to wait for? To get hit by it? We are advising that people take proactive measures now to plan for the worst. As the markets collapsed on Friday, gold went up another 9 dollars.”

I’ll finish up with a quote I love from Celente, “Dogs don’t make cats. And losers don’t make winners. The republicans and democrats are losers.” Don’t be offended by that, because the way things are today are just that. Republicans and democrats were different before, but now they are evolving into a 3rd party. A nasty, dark 3rd party.
