The Most Important Story the MSM, Fox News, Glenn Beck and Others Will Not Cover
by John Galt
Sunday, March 21, 2010
During all of the confusion and turmoil erupting inside the United States with the debate over so-called “health care reform” events around our nation and world wide continue to move forward. A small news story in Europe though caught my attention and sent up the warning signal, or flare of fire into the night sky, that every one of my readers had best pay attention to.
Of call places, it was Agence-Presse Francais (AFP) who posted the story innocently enough on a Saturday afternoon and I found it in The Australian while reading their Sunday business section last night. The headline sounds logical enough as does the reasoning behind the taxation proposals:
Greece targets church in massive tax grab
The story provides a road map for America’s socialist future. Let’s review the highlights from this story:
1. A new draft bill to be tabled in parliament next week imposes a 20 per cent tax on the Orthodox church’s real estate income, reportedly worth over 10 million euros ($14.8 million) a year.
In the United States, this will be used to attack the large, organized churches, especially those institutions involved in political activities. This process was used in Mussolini’s Italy with the alliance with the Vatican to eradicate or force underground any competition to the Catholic Church. The same happened in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Poland, etc. throughout history. The United States will be the model to seize and tax the assets of those churches which do not conform to the nationalist ideology of Marxist theology and to silence the opposition of groups like the Christian Coalition, etc. The reply you will here is “it can’t happen here” but we all now know better.
2. It also outlaws all business transactions of more than 1500 euros ($2220) conducted in cash, prescribing instead the use of credit cards and urging consumers to collect receipts in an effort to stamp out tax evasion that costs the state an estimated 10 billion euros ($14.8 billion) a year.
The I.R.S. will insist and win via pressures on our bond market and stagnant economy that they need the ability to restrict the use of cash in business transactions. As I have said on these pages throughout the years and many other there is a drive to move our economic model to a cashless society and this will be the next to the last final step in doing so. The introduction of the EBT benefit cards was to condition the lower economic class to the idea of a cashless society and it has been a resounding success, as it has been renamed from the stigmatic “Food Stamp” program to the catchier, less demeaning “SNAP” benefit system. The psychological modeling was completed when we saw rappers and singers dancing through coffee shops and nurseries on our television screens swiping their VISA cards to conduct business in a rapid manner. Anyone who has stood in line behind a stoner or 86 year old knows that the VISA commercial is complete and utter nonsense. As the idea of reducing the size of cash transactions expands, American society will rapidly become acclimated to the banning of cash and financial privacy which ultimately will lead to cash transactions being limited to $20 or less in the long run.
Got Gold or Silver?
3. It also introduces income checks for owners of yachts, private planes and jets, swimming pools and other luxury items.
Which will soon lead to income checks for you and I when we attempt to buy a surround sound system, laptop, cell phone or new vehicle. “But that only applies to the super rich and in many cases that includes drug dealers,” will be the retort of the average sheeple. And as the price drops as to what requires income verification and ultimately permission from the I.R.S. the conditioning program will be complete. Any purchase made for more than $300 to $500 will end up requiring a bureaucrat or computer program to validate that you are current on your taxes and that all preconditions for ownership have been met.
Gee, most firearms are $300-$500. Interesting how that would impact our freedoms, isn’t it?
This story is huge. It is not big because of the “where” of the story but the meat of it. If anyone of my readers thinks this will not happen here, you are not paying attention. The history of what has happened in the world dictates that a desperate society requires drastic courses of action. The fact that our society is bankrupt, morally and financially, puts the United States on the glide path for these draconian impositions to become reality.

Indeed this is huge in many ways. Just more ratcheting down on the chains that bind us.

What’s the point of owning PM’s? You won’t be able to sell them or trade for services because you will get turned in to the ‘authorities’ by a good government citizen.
This country is so phucked. I’m sick.

Well John,
.
I think this whole thing is falling apart much faster then any of us might have dreamed.
.
I’m not sure how long it will take for the cashless society to be forced upon us but, if you look at what has taken place in the last 14 month, you can be sure that the timeline is short.
.
I’m thinking that in the very near future, your survival will come down to one of three scenarios
.
1.) Work for the government administration/military complex machine.
2.) Be the slave labor that will be required to float the government machine
3.) Live on the fringe, evading the government machinery and bartering for the things you need to survive.
.
Item one will be the despised of the system. Item two will be the oppressed of the system. Item three will be persecuted of the system and the last hold-outs in the hope of regaining freedom.
.
Every time I read an article like this, I become more acutely aware of where we are headed. The survivors in this need skills that are worth the risk of barter in a tightly oppressed society.
.
My real fear it that we are witnessing the last flickers of freedom. Remember, when freedom and our Constitutional Republic breaths its last breathe, there will be nowhere else to go. All we will have left is the tools and skills that we learned over the years and all they will allow us is a basic level of existence – if we are the lucky few!
.
For those of us who have our eyes wide open, we need to be preparing, and not just with physical preparations, but with spiritual preparations and skills that will be valuable in a barter type system.

Jack, right now about 33 million people participate in the “gray” and black markets. You engage the course of action that the Greeks are engaged in and we will be soon, and that number doubles overnight. No one will want cash because you can’t use it. PM’s are the next, original and most natural currency of choice.-John

I confess to being a public school grad, so I am real
slow. What is a PM? My first guess was Prime Minister.
Went to freedictionary.com and they listed 167 things
it could stand for.
C.W., There will be only 2 groups of people in our
future: federal indentured servants AND federal felons.
The last is not a joke. Look at how many things the last
50 years are a FEDERAL felony crime. Unreal.

If I’m using it, 99.5% of the time, that’s the context.

Remember in Europa most Churches are state Churches. In Greece the Greek Orthodox See is a state Church. They receive tax dollars from the state. I agree it is idiotic since it is just a snake eating it’s tail, but things are very different there then here with regards to Churches. The CofE receives direct government benefits. In Deutschland both the Evangelical Lutheran and Roman Catholic Church (only two who do) receive state benefits. The list goes on, and on, and on . . .
The sad part is the fact that they can do this without an uprising. If something like that had been tried in the 1950s, just a loose example, the Greeks would be in arms over it. All things in the West have declined to the critical junction point now. That is the tell of said news.

No question that taxing churches will be on the horizon before long. Who goes to churches except rich white bigots and they aren’t paying their fair share anyway. Another attack on Christianity.

Christians will go back to meeting in secret and the services to the poor and destitute will be sacrificed. Just another way to help the feds to their demise. Church congregations will start “…going Galt”.

That smell in the air is the rotting, hollow corpse of what once was a great nation. The bleating, gasping sounds you hear in Washington today are the moans of a rising zombie wearing the tattered drapes of Lady Liberty. The zombie is an undead whore, infected with the disease of complacency and entitlement. It blindly gropes in the darkness for something to devour. Liberty is always the first meal.

That is why people should be using cash. I see people buying all the time inexpensive items (bubble gum, chips, soda!!) with ATM cards.
I do the opposite, I pay with $2 bills and half dollars and people always do a double take!.
When the foodstamps were abolished and replaced with those ATM cards, I suspected something was amiss. I knew then that the goal was to lessen the stigma of paying with stamps but more sinister, to get the ghetto underclass used to paying with plastic rather than the cash that always is preferred by low income groups.
I have seen however some contradictory evidence that perhaps people are using cash more often. I see it in a spate of crisp $1 bills that are circulating.
I also notice getting in my change very old pennies and quarters. This means that due to the economy people are scraping the bottom of the barrel and putting their saved change back into circulation!.

Dear John,
Thank you for posting this article on Before It’s News. But why are we shaming the mainstream media for not posting it? It’s their job to toe the line for what I term The First Sphere of Influence (TFSI), a global cartel owned by the Rothschild banking family. TFSI owns all mass-media outlets, so it’s no surprise that these media would not report on a story that would damage the reputation, let alone expose TFSI.
No, we should not damn the media. They’re just doing what they’re being paid to do: print the Communist propaganda dictated to them by TFSI.
And why are we getting anxious over what’s happening in Greece this fine day? After all, the same thing happened to Germany in 1993-45 when Rothschild bastard child Adolf Hitler created false-flag attacks on his own people and institutions so he could enact laws that broke the back of Germany. In Soviet Russia, religion was outlawed by Stalin. It wasn’t his determination, though. He was a puppet of the Rothschilds, as well.
Wake up and get educated, America. Because it’s only going to get worse. Please read Milton Mayer’s book, They Thought They Were Free. It reveals in an eerie light that the machinations we’re witnessing today have occurred with striking similarity in the past, in other countries. The grand plan is to turn the world into a Communist-like mononation, with the Rothschilds at the helm.
What can you do to stop it?
Simple. First, get educated. Once you’re reasonably versed in how the world REALLY works, educate your family and friends. Speak at your church to your fellow Americans about the dangers of the TFSI. Tell you co-workers.
For now, that’s a great start.
Thank you kindly for indulging me.

This story reminds me of last fall when I was remodeling the house. We went to Lowes to buy a new washer and dryer. The teller got very uncomfortable when I handed her 11 one hundred dollar FRN’s. So uncomfortable in fact that she called her manager over to verify the count. She also had the manager dispense the change, which was around 90 bucks, that just about broke the till. She admitted after words that it was extremely rare that someone showed up with that much cash. I am sure that when this proposition comes to pass in the US there will be many grateful tellers and far more disappointed patriots.

Read Matthew Chapter 24. We are in the the last days. This is not something we can fix without God. Get your soul ready, because in the end, nothing else will matter.

Actually the media is given a gift from God via our Constitution thus they should be held to the highest of accounting for their actions. Also I did not post this to Before It’s News; he picks up my content from this blog which is always one of the firstest with the mostest when it comes to out of the box analysis of anything that I have time to write about-:)
In reality the bogeyman argument does not hold water. Communism is a system, not a means. The means are using the tools of fascism and we are so entrenched within our society that to undo them will require a reset, nothing more, nothing less.
Keep reading my blog for historical posts in reference to this discussion. You will find that I’m one wickedly mean spirited individualist who gets disgusted by the actions of those in power when they abuse the gift that God gave them in this nation.

As always, I find the invocation of John Galt in what appears to be a forum with a Christian agenda to be interesting. Ayn Rand was probably the best known atheist when she was alive. Those who admire the spirit of John Galt should find out more about the ideas behind his character by reading The Ayn Rand Lexicon. Why should those who profess faith in the supernatural not have to pay taxes? If the writer is not invoking the John Galt character in Atlas Shrugged or is actually a person named John Galt then please ignore the above comments.

Matt, you can invoke the character as I do but to understand it, you have to read all of her works. To assume that Christian Objectivism is not a viable offspring of her ideology is not just an exercise in mental laziness but a predisposition to bias against individualism as a whole. Ayn was an abject atheist not because of religion per se, but the horrid complicity the organized Russian Orthodox church engaged in with the Soviets. Thus any soul who endured that agony is predisposed to abandoning all hope and veering away from the church, at least in my opinion. Individual choice is the primary philosophical ideal and to say that a person can not be a supporter of Objectivism AND a Christian is foolishness.
You are missing the largest and most important point: Corporations, churches and individuals should not be paying property or income taxes, period. The concept is in direct violation of the intent of the Founding Fathers and original intent of the United States Constitution. Progressives and Marxists are the supporters who working with the oligopolies and banking cartels of the early 1900′s developed and encouraged taxation on private property and an individual’s labor. Support of such taxes is indicative of people who demand income redistribution and support government management of all personal and economic affairs.

yes, these days cash makes many people “uncomfortable”. i like making them “uncomfortable”! and when it comes to bartering i thouroughly enjoy “negotiating the terms” of trade. retailers in my small town cringe when they see me coming…god forbid they have to know how to count out change!

It seems to me that Ayn Rand was pretty particular about epistemology. She damned mysticism of all forms because it relies on faith — belief in that for which no proof exists. She explicitly railed against the requirement to put something arbitrary ahead of one’s own reason, setting the intellect against itself.
Now John, if you’ve come up with some way to bring proof of ghosts into this reality, I’d be interested to see it.
Thanks for the article. Leviathan marches on. I AM on your side and I don’t damn you for your beliefs. I just don’t share them, on that subject.

That’s the key thing Ayn had trouble reconciling and why the issues when those who debate her philosophy in the real world are so fascinating. We can agree to disagree and we are both right because we believe in the individual freedom to do so. We both agree however that the Marxist regime that has usurped our nation is fully capable of introducing the policies I have theorized about in this article. Ayn was very specific as am I; it is an individual choice. P.S. – Thank you for not being anal like so many others have.
