Coppin 01-01-99 A few decades ago, a friend and I were sitting around a university campus and speculating on who was really pulling the world's strings from behind the scenes. You will no doubt find such typical "bull session" discussions going on today. Most are forgotten almost immediately. However, this one prompted me to devote literally years of spare research time to it and continues to this day. Along the way I have stumbled across the infamous Bilderberger Group (and others even less savory!), learned a great deal about international finance and developed a network of sources who were much more talented and energetic than I ever would be. I read Chomsky and learned to look at media reports of current events with a jaded eye. I studied economic theory in hopes of understanding the real meaning of Breton Woods. In short, I learned enough to know that something was economically rotten... but try as I might, I could never put my finger on WHERE all the money was going. Here in Canada, a fellow named Mel Hurtig painted a picture of governments playing a cynical game of patching small leaks in the front door while BILLIONS of dollars were gushing out the back. I knew he was right. But it was old news- I knew about the U.S. Fed. Reserve scam and the banks and while their thefts have been astronomical, it still didn't account for anywhere near all the money that should have been available. I KNEW something was not adding up in the current models, but I was seeking TRILLIONS of dollars and not merely billions. :-) Recently, I stumbled on the answer to my decades long quest in the form of an interview with Walter Burien. Like virtually everyone else who has heard or read the truth, I was stunned! Burien pointed to the irrefutable proof that literally trillions of dollars had been, and continues to be, stolen from US citizens, hidden right under their noses, and there was a conspiracy of silence that helped ensure that general public was none the wiser. For the last LAST 6 MONTHS! Walter Burien has been circumventing the major media blackout and blowing the lid off something called COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS. Simply put- CAFRs are the equivalent of the infamous double set of books... kept by municipal, state and federal governments. That's right, folks. Your own governments are stealing you blind and dutifully keeping a hidden set of books that prove it. The public gets to see the books that show that most governments are operating at or near fiscal bankruptcy. The insiders and the CEOs of every major newspaper and television network get to see the REAL books. Every year. And every year the public is told nothing; not a single line of print in the national paper chains or as much as a single TV soundbite. Nada. Nothing. Now there is a conspiracy of silence that boggles the mind. >From CHV: "I just finished listening to the Burien interview for the second time. The information was incapacitating. I could tell by the timbre of your voice that even you were reeling from the information. Walter is truly brave to expose this one, as it cuts deep. Every time I think my adrenaline threshold has been reached, I am pushed through yet another gate! You blew the doors off with that one." The above quote was a typical response to Burien's recent appearance on the Jeff Rense talk show. So what is it that we are talking about? CAFRs? Trillions of dollars? Government theft? Media silence? Here is a recent e-mail sent to Jessie Ventura, just elected Governor of Minnesota: >From Walter J. Burien, Jr. CEO-C.E.V.I. <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gov. Elect Jesse Ventura Date: 11/13/98 Governor Elect Mr. Jesse Ventura, I heard your comments on meet the press, Sunday morning. When you gave the example that when you were mayor of Brooklyn Park, and the city council wanted to raise tax's by $360,000 saying they had a short fall on their "city budget for schools" and you looked into the "revenue structure of the city" and found $48,000,000 of investment funds in which the $360,000 could be satisfied from, when I heard you say that, I jumped in the air and stomped my feet on the ground, yelling out "good man, good man". You are the first individual that I have heard in my lifetime, give a clear example within a show, produced by the syndicated national news media, as to the difference between the "budget" and the investment funds held separate from the budget. ... I would hope to have a phone conversation with you this upcoming week. What I proposed to Arkansas from a little radio station in Hot Springs, AK may be the perfect plan at THIS TIME in Minnesota as the model for the rest of the country to follow. Please confirm your receipt of this E-mail by return E- mail and call me by phone as soon as soon as convenient to you at 520 445-3532... Wait a second... what is this about investment funds being held separate from the budget? Most of us are taught that a budget is intended to account for all money coming in and all money going out. How can a city have 48 MILLION DOLLARS in liquid assets (investment funds) and still have a $360,000 school budget shortfall? This is not making sense. Well, it seems that I was not the only one confused by this at first. Government employees, political fundraisers and even the odd accountant who heard the show wanted more details, in language that they could use to communicate with even high school students. In response to one such enquiry, Burien sent the following: "The foxes have been writing the laws on how many chickens they can eat from the hen house. At first, out of our 3000 chickens, we gave them 100 per year. They ate them and said they need 200. So we gave them 200. They ate them and then said they needed 400. So we gave them 400 but we started complaining saying enough is enough. So the foxes said they needed 440, justifying 440 with any logic available to them but realizing we were complaining about giving them 100, then 200, then 400, they, in their wisdom, started to put 150 aside each year in their own hen house held by them and undisclosed to us. Well after many a year, in the foxes own hen house they have collected 6500 chickens (total available revenue not tied in directly with the publicly known operating budget) as they continue to collect the now 510 (the disclosed operating Budget) as they cry to us saying they are barely getting by on the 510, but since we are complaining about the 510 they will cut back the annual take to 490 at great sacrifice to themselves, the foxes..." Burien goes on to lay it out this way: "Guess what... Most States are funding their own bond issuances tagging the taxpayer for repayment of the bonds that are funded with their own states investment funds.... This is being done under irrevocable trusts with the funds being taken off the balance sheets until maturity of the bonds. Look for the bond dividend yield which is mandatory for dislosure within the notes of the CAFR." For most of us, the light is surely going on now. No wonder the public is not told about the existance of CAFRs. If they ever became common knowledge, some rather greedy foxes would soon find themselves on the outside looking in. Indeed, Burien has proposed a simple but startling idea that would empower Americans to take back what has been stolen and hidden from them. But first- how much money are we really talking about here? Well, chew on the implications of these figures: Get a team together and bring in a friend or two that are CPAs. Don't forget to look at other cities, counties and states CAFRs for comparison. Add up the totals, Cities, County, State and Federal ownership within your State. You will be learning from scratch one, I have looked at composite totals of government (States, Counties, Cities and Federal ) for 10 years now, and here is what I have totaled: 1. Stock ownership, composite totals............. = to: $32 Trillion + 2. Insurance Company equity participation.... = to: $8 Trillion + 3. Bond surety investment accounts............... = to: $5.5 Trillion + 4. Totals from all liquid investment funds....... = to: $60 Trillion + The personal income from everyone in the USA (pre tax 1996) is = to 6.5 Trillion. In other words if every person living in this country gave every cent they made to government for 10 years, it would equal what composite government has amassed in their investment accounts, as of TODAY.. Have You Gotten Your Wake Up Call...??? The corruption feeds off the revenue. Expose the revenue structure, and the beast dies of starvation. There are only a few thousand of them compared to many millions of us....Rip the head off the corruption, and the body dies.... The Equivalent of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the composite totals of the majority of Federal Government agencies is called the Federal Government Combined Financial Statement. To download the US Federal Government Combined Financial Statements for 1997, 96 & 95 go to this site: http://www.fms.treas.gov/cfs/index.html Read the last page first. It shows what agencies are included in the combined statement and those that are excluded. You will see the ones excluded from the report as being the primary cash and investment agencies. Are they worried that if they were included that the balance sheet would show positive assets in the trillions ?? hmmm... To get some of the City, County and State CAFR reports available for downloading go to this Internet site: http://financenet.gov/financenet/state/cafr.htm If your State or County is not listed, send an E-Mail to a neighboring State saying that you have their State CAFR report, and you would like to do a comparison study of your State's CAFR report, and would they please E-Mail you back with the department, telephone number and contact name in YOUR State + Counties + large Cities to get their CAFR report. The States all share each others CAFR reports for comparison.. The foundation of the Corruption is starting to quiver based on the fact that the word is getting out quickly...as to "The biggest game in town"...... Both the News Media and Governments dilemma here, that will clearly expose them, is that the citizens are not looking for the needle in the haystack but the haystack sitting on the needle. Qualify what the forest is, and stop looking at the leaves in the forest.. What is important here is understanding the principle of operation that has lead to this financial takeover. When seen you will understand the motives and propaganda that is rammed down your throat by the News Media and Government which keeps you looking in right field as they conduct their criminal business as usual activities in left field. The "CAFRs" shows the 'created through restriction by statute' revenue structure which allows the wolves to walk among the sheep in obscurity, as they devour the sheep, fulfilling their appetite in a orgy of neo-capitalistic gluttony. With the surviving sheep saying "what happened", "who were they", "is something wrong", "there is a problem here, but we just can't put our finger in it"...To date, I have been contacted by many from across the Land who now have been unified through disclosure for one common purpose " making the citizen the beneficiary of the wealth" not those "Sharp Little Crackers". I have received phone calls from across the country and have briefed; 15 running for congress, 7 running for senate, 5 running for governor of their state, 4 running for sheriff. All were not aware of the composite structure. The now have their own Wake Up Call.... My heart! Of course. I spent all those years looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack only to find that I should have been looking at the haystack itself. It is a brilliant scam. Fiendishly brilliant. As I listened to the Burien interview, I found myself quickly grasping just how blind I had been. What I had been seeking was right under my nose all along. I don't know about you, but I think it is time to go fox hunting. So what can you or I do to clean up this sordid mess? Burien's solution is a s simple and as brilliant as the scam itself - it will work like a charm. However, unless the public quickly demands its implementation, I fear for the personal safety of Mr. Burien. Look at what happened to John May (elsewhere on this site) for a taste of how the power brokers deal with threats to their henhouse. This is Burien's plan for cleaning up Arkansas and using it as a template for the rest of the country. Please take the time to read it thoroughly. It could change your life- and the lives of every human being on this planet. BACKGROUND IN ARKANSAS Recently the citizens of Arkansas had developed an initiative calling for the abolishment of property taxes. The power structure of Arkansas government utilizing their leverage, moved through the courts to invalidate and block the initiative stating that they would have to shut down schools if the initiative was effected. Several weeks ago, along comes Walter Burien [on a local radio talk show] with disclosure as to the existence of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) which showed within Arkansas, with a population of 2.5 million people who had a TOTAL assessed Property value of 18.3 Billion (1996), THAT just the state government CAFR report showed of in excess of 16 Billion in combined total liquid investment funds, verging on being equal to the total hard assets and wealth of the citizens of the state of Arkansas as determined by their property value. Teachers pension funds = to 5.7 Billion (how many teachers are there in Arkansas for the children of 2.5 M people? ). State investment funds (Arkansas Development Finance Authority-ADFA, for issuance of bonds back to themselves or the local government = to 1.4 Billion. Total cash intake for the year 1.9 Billion NOTE: these figures are just for the state, not adding on for composite investment totals of Cities and Counties within Arkansas which would bring the total up to 26-28 Billion == THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD == As of September 18th, 1998, on Mr. Tibler's radio show, Walter Burien called for the citizens of Arkansas to determine if the Citizen's owned the government or if the government owned the citizens. What was proposed by Mr. Burien was that the citizens of Arkansas unify and put through for an emergency special initiative that would change the PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION of Arkansas government, City, County and State, whereby the initiative would call for and enact by law the following: 1.) For the immediate down sizing by 25% of Arkansas state and local governments "revenue" structure for re-appropriation, annually, into the Citizen's Trust Investment Account. Whereby the citizen after 8-12 years participation in the "system", based on his or her interest and dividend yield from the Citizen's Trust Investment Account, would have no tax liability. After 12 years participation, the citizen, on top of having no tax liability would start receiving a dividend check which would increase throughout the remainder of his or her life. The last year of the citizen's life they would receive the biggest check. Citizen's who have already participated dearly for many a year in the "system" will be first line beneficiaries as of year one for full payment of interest and dividend yield from the Citizen's Trust Investment Account. With this structure in place the Citizen's Trust Investment Account becomes the largest investment fund in the state, of no equal, the citizen being the " Beneficiary", not the inner circle of the "Boys" from government and their special interests. NOTE: the large investment banking and brokerage conglomerates, after examination of the Citizen's Trust Investment Account, should be all for it. They do not take a loss but in fact are offered by the citizen the largest investment account to manage, which if this becomes the standard across the country, will make the Citizen's Trust Investment Account the largest investment account on the face of this planet.... They now don't have to hide the revenue, but now perform the management in the open for public viewing of performance, growth and return to the citizen. 2.) Under the initiative, The creation of a Citizens Appointed Review Panel (lawyers and politicians shall not be on the panel but only act as consultants, the panel will be made up of: the electrician, the plumber, the school teacher, the police officer, the sheriff, etc.. 250 individual citizens, with non having an income exceeding $75K / year) being empowered with full international discovery, disclosure and indictment rights with a small team of accountants that they select, for recommendation and direction capabilities for the re-appropriation of the 25% annual revenue into the Citizen's Trust Investment Account. NOTE: When the politicians say; we will have to close down the little old ladies home and shut down the schools, the Citizens Appointed Review Panel will say, no you're not, the revenue will come FROM HERE!!! 3.) Under the initiative, the government employee, City, County, and State will be offered 1/3 of 1% as a finders fee for pointing out and redirecting revenue which is "not directly benefiting the citizens" for re-appropriation into the Citizen's Trust Investment Account. NOTE: If that government employee, finds and recommends re-appropriation of say 150 Million which is not directly benefiting the citizen, 1/3 of 1% as a finders fee is a pretty nice check.. Any employee coming forward with a proposal who is retaliated upon, can report to the Citizens Appointed Review Panel, and the panel will take the appropriate action to protect that employee and hold those accountable for their unjust and criminal retaliation against both that employee and the citizens of the state.... 4.) Under the initiative, No Further Debt Enacted, cash and carry. Existing debt will be enhanced for offset, until canceled, from 15% of the interest and dividend allocation from the Citizen's Trust Investment Account. 5.) Under the initiative, criminal prosecution, with effective sharp teeth, towards any organization, governmental agency or department in whereby they intentionally try to, or in effect do circumvent disclosure to the Citizens Appointed Review Panel, of revenues, investment funds or cash controlled or maintained by the governmental bodies of the State, Counties or Cities. == END PROPOSAL== In effect, we are changing the principle of operation of the government. We are not changing a leaf or a branch or a tree in the forest, we are changing the forest... which will affect every leaf in the forest to make "We The People" the beneficiaries of the wealth of this country, which is truly ours, NOT the politicians who spend millions to get elected into their $60 K / year jobs to continue the inner circle... of special interests and inflating their own pockets for doing so... I think the founding fathers of this country would be smiling in their graves right about now.......The corruption, graft and payoffs disappear overnight. Its a little hard for the "Boys" to continue "Business as Usual" with 280 Million Americans watching over their shoulders as to where every $1 is spent, invested, moved or has been moved in the past, because "We The People" are now the beneficiaries of the wealth within the greatest country on Earth...... Well as I said in the beginning, we are about to find out if the citizen's own this country or if the government "THINKS" they own the citizens.. The chains will be broken, and the citizens will be free and prosperous beyond their expectations. Woe to those who try to re-attach the chains. Call your neighbors, friends and business associates and pass the word.. Focus your eyes on Arkansas, for there is the start of the new beginning for the rest of us.. When the initiative goes for the vote of the citizens, I will be there. It will be a new Woodstock or Boston tea party. People will camp out five days in advance to be the first through the door to cast their vote. Citizens who have never voted before will register to cast their vote for the first time. It will be the largest voter turnout in that states history. There you have it, friends. Blow this chance to take back your lives and it is all over. Believe me- you will not get a second chance at this. This initiative is more important than your job, your schooling, your holiday vacation. If you fail to act now, you will be an economic slave for the rest of your life. Your children will be slaves- with no means to change it short of the bloodiest revolution since the U.S. Civil War. At this precise moment in history, you have your own fate resting tenuously in your own hands. It is an opportunity that must not be ignored. I pray to God Almighty that you do the right thing. http://www.sightings.com/ufo2/cafr.htm http://www.sightings.com/political/hidgov.htm http://www.sightings.com/politics4/cit.htm http://www.sightings.com/politics2/hidetrill.htm DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
