Why is it that no one seems to care about this information?

If people don't dismiss it out of hand right away, I think it's just too overwhelming to take it all in. And what can we do about this information? That's the million dollar (or billion or trillion dollar) question.
Glad this is up, I missed it the first time around. Thanks for linking me here, dysgenic.
Also, this thread:

File this under the 'something else to consider' department. It recently occured to me that Fortune 500 corporate profits are nothing short of another stealth tax. If corporations are all majority owned by government (and btw, when I say 'majority' I don't mean 51%, it's more like 91%), the profits of said corporations are actually a tax. If you add this not unsubstantial tax to all of the other taxes we pay, what is the true tax rate of this country? I would venture to say that it's well in excess of 99%.
And it gets worse than even that. Any realistic assessment of the true financial position of government has to include not just the 185,000 CAFRs of various government corporations, it also has to include the CAFRs of all of public corporations that government owns a majority stake in. If government owns a 90% stake in Microsoft, for example, that means that 90% of Microsoft's assets belong to government which is supposed to be us!
There is real money behind this operation.
Gordon Gecco: "I'm talking about liquid. I'm talking about the kind of money that I don't have to waste time."
They've got that, and more. Much more.

Privately owned profit, publicly owned debt. How clever.

Even before the CIA mercenaries killed Gaddafi the entire corporate wealth of Libya disappeared. Who has it now?
::) could happen to California
This is probably the most important issue on the forum to popularize. Dysgenic is right about this.
CAFRs for state governments should be distributed along with a page explaining that every state, town, government, is a corporation that has its own CAFR, which are all investing tax money into public companies, to the point where they are majority shareholders in almost every public company you could name. But these are private corporations (who are the government, or owned by the government) making these actions. They cut "we the people" out, probably due to the nature of our tax agreement. They're allowed to invest with "we the people's" money, yet they claim they don't owe "we the people" for it.
Of course they sell assets which used to be public, to private foreign entities. I think someone called that treason in the video.
The pretense of 'freedom of the press'. How exactly does that reconcile with a government that owns every major main stream media corporation?
dys
I convinced a friend of mine to watch this vid...someone with reasonable intelligence that I thought would really be all over this thing... EPIC FAIL.
She watched it, but claims that it is way over her head and that she just doesn't get it. She also doesn't believe that the average person could ever get it.
Me: "What is there to get? What exactly don't you understand?"
Her: "Everything. I don't understand financial statements. Plus, the guy seemed kind of radical, weird, and wacko to me."
Me: "What in the world would give you that impression?"
Her: "I'm not really sure. I just don't understand what he was driving at."
Epic fail. Discouraging.
dys
I'm sorry to hear that; and even though I'm not surprised, I think it's good you tried. The seed is planted, and that's all you can do with people like her.
It recently occured to me that these CAFR can be used in ways seemingly unrelated to government. For example, if you work for a company that is crying poor and doing layoffs or outsourcing, this can be verified by looking at the CAFR. Perhaps in certain situations people that have been shafted by disingenuous big corporations could surreptitiously get this info out to current employees or even clients of these big corporations (disclaimer: I'm not advocating for anything illegal). Anyone know how to get ahold of CAFRs that aren't published online?
dys
That's a great idea! Now that I'm past the shock of how much money the government CAFRs hide, I wonder what sorts of back-rubbing crony-enriching shenanigans they are hiding as well. I know that Catherine Austin Fitts said that in some New York town, their CAFR revealed payments for expensive flood insurance, despite being located on a hill. So who benefited from the government taking out that worthless insurance? Who else is benefiting?
You know, that's a great question. I actually found someone in real life that is somewhat interested in this scandal. The question he kept asking me: "Who is benefiting from this?" Of course I can speculate- I'd imagine hedge fund managers, government finance employees like treasurers (by the way, in some CAFRs they list employees that put together the CAFR- interesting and valuable info) who have extremely cushy jobs, and connected private entrepenuers that know how to score government contracts. I'd also imagine that kickbacks, payoffs, and all forms of bribery whether 'legal' or not are rampant. BUT I can't point to sources that demonstrate specific info on this. I wouldn't even know how to track that info down. Any thoughts, Lapis?
dys
You're probably right about that. I thought I could get a tiny insider's look when I asked my friend what she thought.
It makes me think that not everyone even in government knows how much information these reports contain, and their technical nature probably discourages them from looking into them if they don't have to.
After I wrote that last sentence, I decided to watch a small portion of a video that Clint posted to his blog:
CAFR School: The Public Reading Of The CAFR
The CAFR part only took about 15 minutes. It was presented by someone working for the firm Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co. (MMKR), which prepares internal audits for a lot of school districts in Minnesota.
Obviously 15 minutes isn't enough time to go over the whole CAFR. He confined his reporting to the first few pages of the CAFR and the General Fund.
I found a couple of interesting things:
- He kept mentioning how low property taxes "impacted" the budget.
- He said some of the terms used in the report had changed.
For instance, reserved and designated fund balances have been changed to non-spendable, commited, assigned and non-assigned.
It sounds like they took a couple of semi-technical vague terms and made them even more technical and harder to understand. I wonder if this is because of the growing awareness of CAFR reports? Small as it is?
When I first heard the accounting firm's name, I thought it was a much larger firm that also helps government agencies do these CAFR reports (and that's another revelation--it appears that all these government agencies are hiring accounting firms to prepare and/or audit the CAFRs. And guess who is ultimately paying these firms?).
This is what it says on its website on the page for Governmental Entities:
"Assistance with the preparation and review of Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR’s)"
Back in 2008 this firm was created from a merger of two companies. I thought this was interesting:
Marcum & Kliegman LLP merges with forensic accounting firm
Marcum & Kliegman LLP, Certified Public Accountants and Consultants, has announced its merger with RosenfarbWinters LLC, the largest forensic accounting firm in the New York metropolitan area. As a result of the merger, RosenfarbWinters is changing its name to M&K Rosenfarb LLC (MKR). In spite of an overall downturn in the economy and unfavorable job numbers, the accounting industry is still growing. "There is absolutely no shortage of available positions at M&K," states Marcum & Kliegman's Managing Partner Jeffrey M. Weiner. "With offices in New York City, on Long Island, and now in New Jersey, Marcum & Kliegman looks to grow from approximately 500 employees to more than 1,000 within the next 3 years." [Nice work if you can get it....at taxpayers' expense. ::) ]
I had a very fruitful discussion with a bright dude from another forum. Before I get to the discussion, the result of the discussion was the realization that this CAFR thing is a gigantic hedge by TPTB against grass roots movements. Onto the discussion: it pertained to the price of oil:
Me: "Government owns the oil companies. They could slash the price of oil in half tomorrow if they wanted."
Him: "How? 'Ownership' is divided 185,000 ways."
So, you see, even if certain of us were able to come together and get our particular district or county or town or township to change their proxy voting, it would be still be useless because we would be vastly outgunned in the boardrooms unless we could get MOST of these government corporation to go along.

tagging for the video.
Well guys, I caught a huge break in understanding this thing. There is a guy that I know, a high level executive that works for a hospital (not a government corporation). After pestering him for the last few months or so, he was finally willing to sit down and talk to me about how this thing works from an insider's perspective.
First of all, he confirmed that there are 2 sets of books that are maintained for most corporations. He said that most mid level executives are aware that there are investments and that those investments are maintained/recorded/reconciled/etc through the second set of books- the CAFR- but those investments are totally off limits to use for what is typically thought of as the budget. He said that anyone that wants to advance anywhere in the company quickly learns that it is a no no to even bring up the 2nd set of books as far as using the money or assets to bridge budget gaps or use for R&D, or anything really. They (the midlevel executives) are told that there is a certain rainy day threshhold that must be maintained for the safety of the company (this excuse sounds familiar, we've heard it before). Of course, the details of that threshhold and/or how it is decided upon is secret info. He also told me that as he moved up in the company, he eventually was made privy to who is in charge of these assets, what they are, who benefits, etc...but he wouldn't tell me anything more about that. He told me "dys, I know you, you'll be calling these guys if I tell you, and I can't have that". He also confirmed that there are huge conflict of interests present in the investments; and that many of the stock investments also have proxy voting power.
Keep in mind that the hospital this guy works for is fairly SMALL. If this exists for a small company, what is true hidden power of major corporations?

Some recent Sofia Smallstorm interviews; they're not pasting well, check:
http://aboutthesky.com/podcasts
and she did this one this Mon 10/19 with James Tracy:
Quote:
Interview 70: Sofia Smallstorm
https://checkinitoutdotcom.files.wor...torm.jpg?w=620
Incisive sociopolitical researcher Sofia Smallstorm joins us on this edition to discuss her recent work examining the stealth privatization of individuals, local and regional governments, and the United States itself. She argues that this legal corporatization that has ensued in varying degrees since the late 1800s is a major factor in better understanding recent “mass shooting” drills, some of which are being presented to the public as actual events. In other words, once local municipalities and law enforcement agencies become dependent on federal grants, they are compelled to partake in such exercises to justify continued funding.
Sofia’s “From Chemtrails to Pseudolife” lectures and video series explain the relationship between synthetic biology, radiation biology and stratospheric geoengineering. In 2013 she began researching the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. The project resulted in her DVD, “Unraveling Sandy Hook in 2, 3, 4, and 5 Dimensions.” The presentation offers a different take on the use of staged events to shape society as we are moved to a posthuman world.
Smallstorm is a graduate of Brown University and hosts a series of interview podcasts available at her website, aboutthesky.com.

Sofia Smallstorm has been on a tear with the corporate gov, fictitious/strawman individuals stuff. This is nice coz she's good at of explaining things in lay terms, and why they're important! :)
John Friend is interviewing her live now on Renegade; but archive won't be posted for several hours.
1 hour 4 mins; Sage of Quay radio show, which is another interesting place to check out--- channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3J...ABfGScQ/videos -- Sofia's been guest there in the past too, look at the history

cross-posting this from the: If I refuse the Flu Vaccine my medical practice will be terminated thread; applies to both. I've heard this whole show now, VG. Front-loaded in the first ~hour with the heavier vax/corp-strawman/controlled-docs topics; latter ~half is lighter, more societal talk, "the matrix" etc.
______________________
I'd known this Anita Whitney lady firstly as expert in the world of "Corporation Nation", legal strawman etc. Sofia Smallstorm interviewed her, twice.
So here's Anita in a CrazzFiles show about vaccines? Yep. Explaining that djooz.gov can only force vax your corporate strawman, not your human being... but they're viewed as one in the same when you've got your "strawman uniform" on (which you're properly unaware of). Also, "how doctors are controlled." I'm still listening; it's 2.5 hrs!

Vaccines are not safe and the drug companies have been given complete immunity regarding any harm or injuries they might cause. In fact, in July 2009 the Institute for Science in Society sent a report to the Chief Medical Officer of the UK, and the US Food and Drug Administration warning them that The vaccines were far more deadly than the swine flu.
The unwise and unwarranted invasion of the federal government (via state and local public health institutions) into our children’s classrooms must not be allowed to continue. Our children cannot protect themselves from this encroachment into their health care. As parents we must act on their behalf. We do not want public health agencies (federal, state or local) to engage in the administration of drugs to our children in the school environment on a mass scale. In 2009 the H1N1 vaccines, were not properly tested nor approved through the normal process. We do not want to open the door to vaccination clinics in schools . . . not now – not ever. Remember today the products that are manufacturered and sold as “vaccines” are not warranted as either safe or effective.

The “For Ohioans” site was founded by AL Whitney in 2009 as a response to the H1N1 bogus pandemic. In 2014 the site was renamed Parents Against Mandatory Vaccines.
AL is a former Registered Respiratory Therapist and a former Court Appointed Special Advocate for Abused and Neglected Children (CASA).
As a Respiratory Therapist in Chicago, she took care of several Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) patients who were so ill they were on respirators. As a CASA, she received first hand experience with government bureaucracies and the Ohio Revised Code.
While this site web was initially started by one individual, it quickly expanded to include input from many researchers and scientists from across the state and beyond, who are examining the impact the vaccine ‘agenda’ is having on our population.
Politics
Like everyone else AL is conservative about some things and liberal about others. She has no loyalty to either the Democrats or the Republicans. Both parties have been hijacked by special interests and currently our politicians care more about re-election than serving the population. Our country has been corporatized and the population needs to wake up to this reality, recognize the harm this model is causing and de-corporatize our government on all levels.
AL is also a parent and a grandparent and only woke up in 2009 to the reality that vaccines are more harmful than they are beneficial.

Jim Fetzer 7/15/16
http://aboutthesky.com/images/storie...mfetzer_tn.jpgRetired professor Jim Fetzer, extremely prolific current and historical events commentator and author, discusses with me the plethora of staged shooting events we've been seeing in the context of federal grants and commercial contracts. Dr. Fetzer describes this as a "metatheory" -- the plan behind the plan, you could say. We hear his favorite adjective "RIDICULOUS!" many times, as the heights and lengths to which our culture is being manipulated without public suspicion is indeed baffling. Toward the end of the interview, I refer to my prior guest, Veronica Ciandre, and the astonishing biophysiological work she has done (on herself); Jim Fetzer shows another side of himself in this discussion -- most interesting!

Never liked Smallstorm. Very WooWoo. I thought her Sandy Hook video format was not good.
^ I thought Smallstorm's sandy hoax vid format was okay; basically a live powerpoint presentation, parlayed into a docu' vid. Yes a conventional docu format would've maybe been slightly more effective; but all the editing necessary to create a professional style docu is a major full time project; and I think she opted to get the thing out there sooner not later.
Her 2005 (or '06?) "9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions" was first rate.

The Corporation Nation Master (2010) - Full Length

This is an early version of Corporation Nation that has a couple errors. 1) $ amount of pension funds is 26 trillion, not 36 trillion.
The video proves MAGA is not the resistance. My entire faux news watching maga friends/family would totally reject the video as hateful of 'Murica. This video would be seen as antifa to them. Only leftists, my friends/family would say, want to limit the US dominance over the globe.
The whole purpose of MAGA is to regain American Empire dominance over the globe with the new boogieman of leftists and communists and others that hate the American Masonic Empire.
Show this video to Faux News watchers and you would be reported as un-American or anti-American.
Where Bush failed, Trump got the stupid population to believe the US government is the victim. DOGE is about making the American Corporation more profitable from freeloaders. That is the new resistance. The resistance to make Wall Street more profitable and the resistance to defend Washington and make the government more imperial and wealthier. The real resistance was about substantially limiting the US government and making America end imperialism and end focus on profits. The cia disinfo shills reprogrammed tens of millions of Ron Paulers to see the government as the victim of the woke leftists. The Jews did their duty to the Masonic Corporation of Washington DC. Gave the boogieman of immigrants, wokeness, drag and the other new WMDs to the public to scare voters to vote Republican. MAGA is a stupider version of PNAC. No longer Osama as the Faux News boogieman, the woke scare and panic to make you support the American Empire and imperial dominance and success.
MAGA: "Murica has been wronged by terrorists, and revenge is the only way for payback". Bush is gleeful MAGA fell for the cia psy-ops and disinfo shills.
The American chaos era is ending. The chaos was not to make America not great again. Niggers were used by elites for covert warfare against Catholic ethnic cities of the North. Mexicans were used for cheap farm labor. These were to keep the Country Club Anglo-masonic Republicans controlling the Corporation of Washington DC. And the Jews of both Republicans and Democrats were behind this agenda. The entire chaos agenda was to entrench those controllers of Washington to defeat rivals and foes of Anglo-Masonry.
The goal was never to ruin America, the goal was to ruin those that hate masonic america.
Hurricane Katrina and using negros for covert race warfare in the cities, shows it was never about promoting negros to rule America, it was about using negros to destroy those that are a threat to masonic america. Katrina was used because the masons hate negros and know negros are destroyers. So negros and LGBTQ are used as corrosive ways to weaken rivals and foes of masonic america.
David Horowitz proves this. David Horowitz was about yelling about the Muslim threat to America. And now is warning about the leftist threat to America.
The lie about Democrats as the deep state was worse than a sideshow, it completely hides the real cia Republican Country Club Anglo-Masonic deep state in plain sight.
