  1. By: Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News U.S. Correspondent WASHINGTON, D.C. -- (WorthyNews) In an article put out by the Associated Press on Tuesday, May 13, 2014, closed door meetings between the rich and influential and our elected officials were discussed with vague references to what goes on inside them. After some investigation into the story, I've been able to piece together what is actually going on inside these meetings. Below is a copy of the story (in bold print) along with what I discovered (in italics). For a few days in March, the American Enterprise Institute welcomed scores of business and political leaders to a private annual meeting at a resort on the Georgia coast. But only those who attended know what issues were discussed, strategy planned or promises made. Private means only certain people are wanted to be there. The above paragraph mentions political leaders. This suggests that this private meeting is an attempt on behalf of business leaders (they were invited also) to unduly persuade, i.e. bribe, political officials to make laws to fit their desires. It also suggests an active participation in criminal activity on the part of the American Enterprise Institute as they hosted the event. The goal of all business is to make money; thus it stands to reason that if business leaders and political leaders, some of which will be named below; if business leaders and political leaders are meeting in an exclusive environment, with participation in the event dependent upon one not talking about what went on, then it stands to reason that criminal activity is taking place, specifically bribery. That only those in attendance know what was discussed is disturbing. It prevents the general public from being able to make informed decisions regarding their elected officials and keeps our elected officials and these business leaders from being held accountable for their actions as specifics concerning the bribery attempts and/or successes are not known. For certain issues of concern to the business world were discussed. It is reasonable to assume that strategies on how to implement the desires of these business leaders was also discussed. What is not known is how much of a buy-off, i.e. bribe, our elected officials took, whether it be money, favors, promise of political office such as the Presidency of the United States, etc... That's because the ground rules for the invitation-only meeting required the participants' confidentiality -- even if some were elected leaders, discussing the public's business. The participants were sworn to secrecy, both business, and political, leaders. This suggests a direct attempt on the part of the host to circumvent the rights and laws of the citizens of the United States of America. It also reveals the intent of the American Enterprise Institute, that they should be in control of our country, and not us. It also expresses a willingness of both business, and political leaders to engage in criminal activity, such as bribery, treason (by taking bribes and making laws according to the desires of certain people only,, it gives opportunity for enemies of this country, some of which may be operating here or have contacts here legally; it gives them opportunity to potentially dumb-down our national defenses and/or military readiness; attention must be brought to the fact that there are many foreign-owned businesses operation here in the United States), and other activities that are currently illegal. It is also a violation of the public trust in our elected officials (not that we actually trust them) as our leaders do not discuss the events of the meeting, merely attempt to force them upon us, thus producing a de facto slave state. It is a violation of "no taxation without representation," a first motivation in the founding of this country. Through the different bribes being offered, and taken, various tax laws can be, and probably are, being passed, providing a tax shelter for the very wealthy while placing an undue burden on the backs of those with less than a certain income. Secret meetings such as these also create an "exceptional" class in America. Being exceptional, that is, special, in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing; but when a person's exceptionalism is dependent upon having secret meetings with public officials and getting special laws passed or court judgments in their favor to the exclusion of the general public, then it becomes very wrong. The founding fathers (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc...) believed that all men should have equal standing in matters of law. The passing of laws to the benefit of a few at the expense of the many puts an undue burden, a tax, on the general populace that has to bear it. This creates a class of people that think they are above the law, an "All men are created equal, but some men are more equal than others" situation. An impressive array of power attended the conservative think tank's World Forum 2014, according to a printed program first disclosed in late April by the Center for Public Integrity. House Speaker John Boehner and other Republican congressional leaders; potential 2014 GOP presidential hopefuls like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker; Apple CEO Tim Cook; beer magnate Pete Coors; TD Ameritrade founder-turned-billionaire conservative activist Joe Ricketts, and executives from venture-capital firms. Listed above are some of the conspirators in this year's event. House Speaker John Boehner (third in line for the presidency of the United States), Marco Rubio, Chris Christie and Scott Walker - all three with good names - all three presidential hopefuls. While other wealthy and influential people are mentioned, the fact that four presidential candidates are mentioned, in combination with topics already discussed, brings one thing to mind: The members, and possibly the financiers, of American Enterprise Institute are seeking to unlawfully take control this country by taking away our right to vote as citizens of the United States of America. This is an act of aggression against the people of the United States and an act of war. That certain of our leaders, both political are economic, are invited suggests a pre-screening of sorts. It appears that members of the American Enterprise Institute investigate people for potential willingness to commit these crimes and, if you are wealthy or influential enough, you get invited, provided you can keep your mouth shut about the criminal activities going on. Similar events occur across the political spectrum giving powerful people with deep pockets face-to-face exchanges with national and state leaders the average American cannot match. Last month, a group of liberals held closed sessions in Chicago under the banner of Democracy Alliance to talk political strategy for progressive causes. Both Republicans (conservatives) and Democrats (the above-mentioned liberals) are undermining the electoral process of the United States of American and taking away our rights as citizens to satisfy their own lusts. And in early May, state lawmakers from around the country convened privately in Kansas City, Missouri, with business leaders as part of the corporately financed American Legislative Exchange Council. The group's task forces met to write recommended bills on topics from education and tax law to environmental regulation, labor law, and criminal justice that ALEC's legislative members will sponsor in their statehouses. Write our laws in advance?!?! Our treasonous, sell-out legislators craft our laws according to the lusts and desires of themselves and the lusts and desires of their campaign donors. Those "people" (and that is the nicest thing I can call them without going into a string of profanity that would make someone sick) have the nerve to tell me I have a vote in the goings-on in this country with a straight face the whole time lying to me, all with a straight face. It would have been better for them to say, "Hey stupid! You are a slave and we are the masters. Actually, these rich business folks are the masters, and we are their whores. You are just the rags we use to wash ourselves with." ALEC wants to control what our children are taught?! Meeting in secret to discuss what is taught in our education system suggests that something criminal is going on, perhaps things like the United Nations' plan to teach "the joys of masturbation" to kindergartners as part of their sexuality "education" program. And, yes, the UN does have a sexuality education program. Having seen it for myself, it does not discuss biology as one would/might think, but rather sexual practices and the false equality of them. Tax laws? These rich criminals craft themselves laws in advance, writing out what punishments, if any, they think they should get, probably with many loopholes with which they can avoid even those penalties. This is in addition to the laws concerning environmental regulation (the earth, global warming, whether or not protesters can actually protest), labor laws (hiring illegal aliens), and criminal justice laws (which determine punishments for crimes). The corruption, the wickedness, that exists within our government knows no bounds. The deceptively yet appropriately titled American legislative Exchange Council tells you exactly what they are about. They exchange their money for the ability to craft what laws they want to be governed by. Both federal and state legislators are only too happy to take them up on their offer, either not realizing or not caring whether our rights, our freedom, even our national sovereignty, is trampled on. Organizers and participants say the closed sessions allow public and private sector titans (high-powered/influential political and business leaders) to discuss candidly topics ranging from foreign affairs and intelligence gathering to tax policy and elections strategy. Pay attention to what is being said here. Both members of ALEC, business leaders, and political leaders are admitting to bribe making and bribe taking. They are confessing that not only are bribes taking place, but that this allows them to bribe and be bribed without fear of prosecution! Foreign affairs? Perhaps ALEC, despite all their talk about returning sovereignty to the states, is actually in favor of a global government with the United States of America playing a submissive part. Perhaps ALEC participants are looking to find themselves some nice tax havens for all the money they are raking in.. Intelligence gathering? Who are they gathering intelligence on? The American public? Again, meeting behind closed doors, ALEC organizers and participants are in reality engaging in criminal behavior, seeking to bypass surveillance laws already on the books, looking for ways to buy our private information without any legal ramifications. Tax policy is next. My grandfather always said the rich man will get his, meaning the rich man (or woman) will always find a way to make money, even if it means doing it illegally. It looks like he was right. Election strategy. The only reason they could be discussing election strategy in private is to decide in advance who is gong to be elected. Think it not possible? All it would take is a few people in the right places, such as media, coupled with the right amount of cash, and the flow of information could be directed to make one candidate look like a god and the other look like a devil (as was done with President Obama in is 2008 election campaign). While it is true that there is mud-slinging on both sides, one way to tell who will/already has "win" an election is to see which one appears to be putting up a lackluster fight, that is, whoever looks like they are not fighting as aggressively as they normally would be expected to. But some open-government advocates say the events reduce confidence in the democratic process. Democracy means ruling class of people or people with power, not the people rule, as you might have been told. It comes from the Greek word demos, meaning 'people,' and the suffix -cracy, frequently seen in connection with persons of authority. A democracy, therefore, is a country ruled by one to a few people who exercise authority over many, often thinking they are better than everyone else, thinking they are above the law. They fashion themselves after the gods and goddesses of the ancient pantheisms of the world, persons who rule absolutely in their own realm of influence and anyone who questions them or tries to get them to question themselves (to see if they are wrong on something) is an obstacle to be overcome. The democratic process referred to above simply means whoever can give the biggest bribes and whoever takes the biggest bribes gets the power. Average voters with little to no money get nothing. "This just creates more ways for mega-donors and elected officials t get together and talk about public policy behind closed doors," said Miles Rapaport, the president of Common Cause, which advocates for less concentration of political power. Mr. Rapaport is recognizing that this process goes on without the use of closed-door meetings. It also suggests the wealthiest of the wealthy are are pushing out those who are "merely" wealthy. It also appears that Mr. Rapaport has recently been cut out of the loop and is upset by it. Common Cause appears to be an organization that likes exceptions to be made for itself and Mr. Rapaport as Mr. Rapaport's anger appears directed at mega-donors having access to elected officials and not that the elected leadership is taking bribes. Having an exception made for you is not in itself a bad thing. What makes an exception, that is, special treatment, bad is when it is done solely for the benefit of a few people who have no need of it. "Less concentration of political power" is simply code for "back away from the bribery pie and let me get a slice." If you want special treatment regarding a certain thing, that is fine. Go out and work for it. Never, ever, bribe someone for special treatment. It is a form of stealing, as it takes away a person's right to approach their leaders to make requests of them on various matters of interest, and creates a de facto slave state in which the general public unwittingly do the bidding of a few rich folk, ofttimes against their will. Boehner, who is an ALEC member according to the group's website, said such events are "very educational." Of course they are, Speaker Boehner! you get educated on just how much people are willing to pay for your vote and the payees, a.k.a. bribers, get educated as to how much they have to pay and what they can get for it. All with the benefit of the general public, the "unexceptional", remaining "un"-educated as to what is really happening and what their leaders are really like. It should also be noted that only Republicans and conservatives are mentioned here by name. Democrats are mentioned, but only by the vague term liberals. This indicates that The Associated Press is biased in favor of the Democrat party and against the Republican party. This gives legitimacy to the claim that the media is bias in favor of President Obama as President Obama is a Democrat. At the Center for Responsive Politics, executive director Sheila Krumholz said private meetings between "the regulators and the regulated" are part of the process, but the venue and the breadth of the closed gatherings matter, she argued. Responsive politics means that our leaders' actions while in power respond to stimulus. Given that it has been clearly demonstrated that bribes are taking place and that our leaders are taking them, I would have to say that responsive politics means elected officials who are willing to take a bribe. So bribery attempts are part of the process? This indicates a wide-spread practice on a scale that is mind-boggling and that the general public should just accept it. It also indicates that Miss Krumholz has participated in previous bribery parties, didn't get invited to this one, and is upset about it, just like Mr. Rapaport. "The concern is that these get-togethers offer opportunity for extended exposure in a relaxed setting," she said. Offer opportunity for extended exposure in a relaxed setting for bribes to take place? Miss Krumholz is a smart woman. She knows that this is what is taking place at these events and in what setting. Miss Krumholz, however, has slipped up. In complaining about the unfair treatment afforded the very wealthy, she reveals that she is not upset about bribes taking place, only that she is not afforded the same opportunity to do so. Neither Miss Krumholz, the organizers of these buy-off events such as the American Enterprise Institute and ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Program), nor our elected leaders (political titans), such as John Boehner, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, and others, nor these wealthy business leaders (business titans), care anything about the rights of the average American citizenn, nor that they are subverting the rights of their fellow citizens. Perhaps they think they are "above the crowd," which in politi-speak usually means above the law. "It's all very conducive to a good rapport... That's an invaluable advantage -- and not one afforded to average constituents." Being able to bribe a public official in private is an invaluable advantage, and one that makes it easy to freely offer bribes, for a criminal, and the crook official that takes the bribe. It means they don't have to worry about getting caught and going to jail. Miss Krumholz (I almost spelled her name Krumblez, which is what her story, our public officials' story, and their bribers story is doing) is telling a massive secret here. She, along with Mr. Rapaport and the Associated Press, is saying that our elected officials are for sale, not everyone is worthy to be able to bribe them, i.e. can't afford their price, and that a lot of people who seem like they are looking out for the rights of the American citizen only want a piece of the action. In summary, the political system in America is filled with whores, with the crooked rich folk engaging the services of our elected officials doing the selling. A sex-whore on the street has more dignity about herself than that of our elected officials. At least the sex-whore doesn't pretend to be something she is not.
