Verizon = GREED; US Postal Service facts, solutions; Obama and USA INC.

I put link to this video on Occupystream and said "uspo, obama, usa, inc".

Fuckatie Fuck Fucker.....I like fucking ; )

[poindexterwitkowsky]

~~~^~^~^~^In 2006 REPUBLICAN legislators mandated that the U.S. Postal Service(USPS) begin a 10 yr process of pre-paying all health & retirement benefits for all employees it may hire up to 75 yrs from now! THE GOAL: To create the ILLUSION that USPS, a NON tax payer funded profit making agency, is on the verge of FINANCIAL COLLAPSE! REPUBLICANS want to lay off 125,000 AMERICANS & PRIVATIZE USPS .~~^~^~^~^~^^^^^^ REPUBLICAN RACKETEERING & GREED ARE DESTROYING AMERICA!

[me001ist]

Your right soon you guys will pay them billions a year to run there business in your country and it will have to go that way because they get massive tax breaks now and they cant go backwards. love your vids

[me001ist]

Are people stupid corporations will always want more if they make 8 billion profit last year this year better be more than 8 billion or they think there going backwards and they will sack people cut corners what ever it takes to make more than last year.

Unions are great, for most of my working life so far unions have consatly been under attack, when I started work people loved unions now most people dont want to be in a union and bosses dont like it if you are a union member.

[working2helpyou]

Hello I will be supporting the workers today in the protesting in LA, CA. "National Day of Action on Wed, Aug. 24, Support Striking Verizon Workers Labor can win!" The organization that's putting the protest together if anyone in L.A wants to join "answer coalition. org". GREAT Video!

[JOgleJSO1]

We can vote to abolish!

[leebob86]

How does communist canada run their post?

[secretbubba3]

This guy is pissa!

[MrBetrue]

Go get your gun Clavin!!!! I don't need any more stupid junk mail. Feel free to take Saturday off. "man who knew too much eh? Nagell is laughing at you. see you on the "postal" network.

[tenebroust]

@MrBetrue Ha, ha. Excellent.

[ziradith]

How about Ron Paul? There are some things i don't agree with, but his message has always been the same. The fact that major media is ignoring him makes him even a better prospect for 2012.

[tenebroust]

@ziradith Ask yourself how much exposure he has gotten by supposedly being ignored.

[huskerbird1]

@Keister12 R u an idiot? yep. Never heard Ted whine yet, Rant,,, maybe, whine? never, bet you do though.

[cchessmaster]

What happened to the US Post Office? Does it still exist? I have heard that you still can send a letter for 2 cents if you send it as general delivery.

[zoticus1]

I actually spoke almost a year ago to a silly democrat that I was going to vote for the absolute most moronic bible thumping fool I could to destroy the system completely so it can be rebuilt.

Defiantly a good tactic at this point into the game,its all that can be done!

[sirstockings]

The first thing a nation must have to be a sovereign nation is to establish a postal service and be recognized by the UPU. Before our gummint was formed it HAD to have a postal service. Privatizing it or scrapping it is NOT in the best interests of this nation.

[wanker89]

From one union member to another good luck. I disagree with you on voting, I generally vote third party, in specific Ralph Nader. I will continue to vote third party.

[doogleandalix]

@wanker89 Please consider Ron Paul instead of third party - he is actually a libertarian running on the Republican ticket because of the flawed system .As a union member, I am appalled at the union busting tactics of Issa and his ilk. He wants to force out the senior people - can't you just see the age discrimination lawsuits coming ?Issa is questionable character at best -check him out . The Postal Service receives no tax dollars , despite common belief that they are taxpayer supported.

[TheCOMMONSENSEMEDIA]

I don't know enough about the problems with the USPS to disagree with you. However, writing to ones Congressman or Senator is a total and complete waste of time. You know it and I know it

[bigspook999]

Moms basement looks pretty nice...

[germanberserk]

@Keister12 troll alot ?

[captcaveman4201]

Bullshit the post office doesn't receive tax money! In other words the post office doesn't call the money you HAVE to pay them Taxes!! They just cal l it the price of stamps... That ALWAYS goes up in price! Beleive me, you pay for the shit one way our the other! Don't be fooled by name games!

[ITILII]

Maybe the plan is to out source the USPS to China, so they can pay off some of the debt and the Chinese get a great network of agents/informants in the US.....diabolically brilliant !

[sinclair61]

Become a freeman, I am seriously considering doing it now.

[Justice4all311]

usps is far superior to ups. i patronize it frequently :)

[kevtruth]

Excellent Ted. Particularly the last third regarding the upcoming election

[Justice4all311]

i'm split on the unions issues. private companies should not be held accountable for their profits, unless they are getting public money and tax breaks. there should be laws that protect people but they must strike a balance between institutional dictatorial rulings. sure it's messed up and people rely on this for their familes. yes they are greedy. i don't like rich greedy companies either but i'm sure things will come about to make it so that greedy companies are in a unfavorable position.

[pjamesbda]

Ted, we already know....

"There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today!"

Bukowski was postal.

[crocfme]

I'd love to get up one morning, turn on the news, and hear something good about America....

[prescottbill]

"The United States Postal Service is running a $8.5 billion deficit and Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe told Congress it would have been worse if the USPS hadn't already cut $9 billion in costs the last two years."

Big changes coming, they are shutting down thousands of POs. Four or five day work week, pension cuts, etc... Email, Ebill pay, E etc... technology and competition will change the USPS like it or not. Like the land line phone company, a thing of the past.

[doogleandalix]

@prescottbill the USPS would  have made a profit had they not been the only entity mandated by Congress ( under George Bush ) to prefund future retirees health benefits even though the fund has enough $ in it til 2037 !The USPS overpaid into the Federal Employees retirement fund to the tune of about $50 billion! Issa claims they did not overpay even though 2 audits proved so-in other words , the govt. "borrowed "the $ -they use the Postal service as a cash cow to make the deficit look lower.

[prescottbill]

@doogleandalix Won't matter anyway. After the collapse everything will be reset. Friend of mine was getting a $80K+ pension as a former airline pilot. Company went BK and so did the pension. Now the govt. pays him $24K as his total pension. He had to take a $60K haircut. The same will happen to govt. and quasi govt. employees. In fact, all govt. promises will be broken after the collapse. Prepare now while you still can.

[doogleandalix]

@prescottbill I'm afraid you may well be right , but how do you prepare for such a thing ? Even if you have savings, it is worth less daily .The disgusting part is that (mis)management cost the PO a lot of $.There is approx a 4:1 ratio of supervisor to employee-that's crazy .Above you said the PO is a thing of the past - not really,package mail is way up. Lots of sales on Ebay - all delivered by USPS. Increase in online shopping & a computer can't deliver your packages to you:)

[prescottbill]

@doogleandalix Saving FRNs for the future is a losers game. Invest in self sufficiency and at least you will have a chance in the future.

As far as the USPS goes, look at the labor cost of Fedex and UPS, it is half the USPS. The monopoly is in standard letter delivery which is a dying business. I think they will survive, but it will be a much smaller and leaner USPS. Our letter delivery is by a private contractor, more ATMs are popping up at alt. sites, etc...

[doogleandalix]

@prescottbillAs for the labor costs of USPS v Fedex ,Ups, I would be interested to know how much of that labor cost is for management / private consultants as opposed to carriers , clerks, etc. The clerk craft lost over 100,000 employees who were not replaced - I bet management lost 1% , if that . There are 28 VP's of various depts in L'enfant Plaza in DC! Even if they force 100,000 more clerks/mailhandlers to retire, management will be top heavy-that's a problem and is not addressed in the news

[HonestJohn60]

Don't worry - They'll just out-source the USPS overseas! - Thats seems like the same plan for all the other industry's that were even paid to leave! - They want us a third world country so they can bring in the NWO. - My 3 letters are going out now!

Ron Paul NOW!!!

[itchcitizen2]

@Trucidofy Yep there are Actual Americans still around...Native Indigenous Indians...remember them !?

[jeremiahsineiii]

As a final project of his Constitutional Law program, a buddy rescinded his Social Security. He said it was 3 substantial packets of paper work, one of which was addressed to the Queen of England. It appears she receives @3% of all the SS money collected from US Citizens.

[tenagliac]

Or the patent office. Congress raiding their funds. I'm wondering how long till Congress sees the Post Office shiny piggy bank and helps itself.

[MrVic1954]

They are killing this country. Congressmen won't do crap. It is their plan to destry this nation. People who hate Unions still don't understand unfortunately that the union workers are the last frontier of jobs in this country. Left to the corporations alone, they will take away everything that they could get away with it. Corporations are the bad ones, not the unions.

[chrisy0907]

they've already shut down most of the post offices in the UK, now they are wanting to shut the rest down and move all post office services to Tescos.........

[lostinthemix]

@Keister12 I am self employed and my room is very clean thank you, anything else wisenheimer.

[telewebservices]

Once there is no "share the pain", once the big fish gets ahead with laws which puts them ahead, there is nothing to stop a corporal take over of everything, since nothing can ever compete with the big fish, it destroys communities, it destroys the idea of more localized economy, it destroys freedom and its a waste of resources.

naturally what happens in the end is exactly like in deep water, when there are no little fish left to eat, the big ones dies of hunger.

[markange]

Thanks for your support of CWA and IBEW in our fight against Verizon. We will be returning to work this Tuesday with our current contract extended until a new contract isnegotiated. All Labor will be with our Brothers and Sisters in the Postal Union as you fight against corporate greed and mis-management. We can only win if we all stick together. In Union is Strength. Best to you, Ted.

[Salihovicable]

One More Vote For Ron Paul

[telewebservices]

simply rebuild everything, factories, companies, bring jobs back home by taxing imports, like it was in the past, not by lowering taxes, but by putting taxes on imports.

[telewebservices]

they already tried the lowering taxes on the rich, Obama didn't change much he let the Republicans have it their way and still, the debt is just rising and rising.

lowering taxes will create jobs and will help but the reality will be that every citizen around this world will be enslaved to this terrible unjust system of slavery and theft.

[jancrowb]

its hard to comment without repeating the points you've made. totally agree. it is spooky when the bloodlines of these 'elites' are so often interlinked. they say george bush is a distant cousin to the queen, and the possibility of barbara bush being the daughter of alastair crowley. it does tie in to the possibility of the usa still being a colony of the crown. the world is far more than we can imagine, the whole truths may blow our minds.

[telewebservices]

this is not the debt crisis, it's the theft crisis, this is all a fucking theft.

thieves are running your country.

[TheCaptainSlappy]

I got it! What we should do...is start our own corporation. Call it..."Kurt Bango", because we need SOME name (I found "State of Slappy-Town" to be rather dry and droll, plus Wal-Mart doesn't go for that, because in Soviet Russia, Wal-Mart tells YOU what to do). Then, we will say we won't have taxes for us, but for everybody else, and we shall trade paper towels (quilted thank you, the quicker picker upper) or melted aluminum pop cans (or gold or silver, same thing), stamp our faces on it...YAY!

[telewebservices]

Yep folks! I don't have money for you because it's cheaper in China!

We have to be communist, oooopppps competitive.

[telewebservices]

without proper taxes on imports/exports, this world will look more like china and india.

[glasseverywhere]

100% truth i cant argue with you...

Now at this moment i feel like a white nigger earning less than i use to 10 years ago.

[slobomotion]

I've been working on a journalistic piece for years here in France. Organized crime got to some unions within the past decade & bribed them to neutralize the "convention collective(s)." Now, Sarkozy has a rotten "auto-entrepreneur" program which stinks & has done away w the work contract! I just finally set up my EURL which makes me a worldwide going concern. No way was I going for Sarko's "scheme" & I was invited to the Elysée Palace last year, went to the door & said NO TX. Msg delivered!

[rafa40314]

@Keister12 he tells people the truth its not whining but i feel like he didnt cuz enough in ths vid

[smokeFullJoints]

Similarly in Poland is the same situation with an insufficient number of staff in post offices.

[airforcemax]

I do not trust any of the Republicans, the Tea Parties and their sponsors to include President Obama.

[jimbobubbadj]

The Post Office actually provides a benefit to the public. The Big Banks such as JPMorgan and Bank of America do not.

[pittbullbill]

basic corporate thinking work skeletons crews work your employees half to death rake in a fortune, in the end greed is such a fucking pathetic thing get everything you want guess what your not gonna take it with you

[Barnekkid]

As a former federal worker I'm aware of the pressure the postal service has been under probably since the beginning of it. I've always had the feeling that there's been some underhanded influence at play meant to destroy the usps and leave us at the mercy of those shitheads over at ups. For my money, I'll always go USPS.

[killswitch489]

Great video as always man. I remember hearing about them wanting to close a ton of small post offices, it's a nightmare just to think about how far you may have to go to get ur mail if they do

[greggh]

I may take you're advice and vote for Obama. I would say he's the most despicable, because he's the biggest liar. At least many of the republicans will outright tell you how they'll fuck you.

[jimbobubbadj]

@greggh I won't vote Democrat or Republican.

[frhans1166]

they have already closed my local post office now we need to drive 7 miles in the opposite direction to go to the post office.

[111day1]

Ted, the usps situation simply points to the fact that ANYTHING the government gets involved in will get completely fucked.

[lostinthemix]

@Keister12 What solutions do you have instead of making smart ass remarks, now go clean your room punk!

[bloodvile]

Sad first it was the common 25cent payphones that came in handy in poorly planned times of need that are now obsolete.Now they better keep them bills&letters moving or we are hellishly fucked.like that commercial the talking barbie doll Ken is the manager in charge if you want broccoli press 1toys press 2 or press 3 neither .

[nmm12nmm]

if no tax dollars go to the post office how do they pay the money they are in deficit to.. where does that money come from?

[mmmmmnnnnn55555]

They dont want to save the Postal Service. The plan is simple. Destroy the economy. Break the middle class, break the Unions and put the Serfs back in their place under the heels of the Royalty.

[Boomer1949]

I have to agree with vahala56. I was a ebay seller for yrs, in fact before they went nation wide and were only in California. I tried other delivery services but always came back to the post office. They've already shut down a few small branches in my area but not my little ol office.  I'm with you on all levels tenebroust, you have my support.

[killgreed]

I love my postal people, I know them well, they give us Candy.

[tenebroust]

@Keister12 Actually no I don't, even though we have many reasons to do so.

[Viracocha711]

@tenebroust I will return when Obama does not cut Medicare & SS benefits or cut corporate taxes & allow loop holes & subsidies continue. You are JUMPING to conclusions...However, I do agree with many of the other points you made.

[GriffinElliot]

Hmm, interesting indeed! With the surrepticious agreement signed by Harper (alleged conservative) & Barry Sotoro aka Barack Hussien Obama (alleged liberal) we R technically back under the crown. How novel & curious. almost no one connects the dots, but, U. Kudos

[kroovyandcal]

The Postal Service can no longer feasibly be self-funded. They need to operate now via tax payer dollars. It is an organization protected by the Constitution.

[stonooblivion]

Yeah your right, my only problem is do I vote for Obama or Perry now.. ;)

[gasttheplast]

The same thing is happening in Canada ?!

[stonooblivion]

Thanks for the education on the USPS...

[UniversalAgent]

Google Lysander Spooner's "American Letter Mail Company"

[babaloo42]

Wow that's some crazy shit about the PO. The people of Maine (other than me of course) decided to vote the biggest shit ball they could find (Paul Lapage) into the governor's office. So it won't be long before we're back to hunting and gathering here.

[tha2hander]

Nice video, Ted. I'm going thru the same shit @ a Union shop, as well. Shared on FB.

[chop98]

Talking about Verizon brings phone taxes to mind. Turns out the phone tax was taken off the books by Congress in '65. Our taxes go to the government now in the form of two private companies located up North. I'd have to look up the locations. They use phone tax under the guise of helping build schools and help rural hospitals. They're screwing us. None of this money goes to anything except for probably Black Ops projects. Good vids, Tene. :)

[glazierEd]

I use the U.S. Postal service to pay my bills, I dont leave personal info on the web. Verizon has struck a deal, workers will go back tuesday, for how long? we will see. Ive been picketing with them two weeks. I am a Proud member of the I.U.P.A.T. (Unemployed) Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D) Has introduced a jobs bill that creates Over two million Infrastructure jobs

schakowsky dot house dot gov / jobs

By fairly requiring the wealthy and corps. to pay there fair share.

[Acguarnica]

Man, I look forward to everyone of your videos brother. I love you man. You're awesome!

[possetraxxx]

that shit is not just in the fuckin post office,its every were ...

[TheCaptainSlappy]

Excellent job, Mr. T-Rex.

[rg2027x]

East India Trading Company...yes...A corporation disguised as a "government"...run by criminals posing as "politicians". It doesn't matter who you vote for. They don't follow the Constitution anyway.

[Fockersnextdoor]

I always use the USPS, we have federal highways system because of the USPS. Ask any history teacher that know thier stuff.

[dbmdsv]

Ted they are getting ready to plunder the fund you speak of here, no other answer... Sounds like and looks like USPS workers are going to be cannon fodder in the no jobs war as here in WV many offices are set close...

[Frequencitee]

I HOPE, that from 11:00 minutes on, gets inserted into every future video which discusses election 2012. Not to diminish any points made throughout the remainder, because they are all valid.  But, JFC, that part cannot be driven home enough times to take some of the bend out of the learning curve, for the remaining part of the populous, who believes that ONE individual is going to be voted in, that will stem to the tide of this avalanche of tyranny.

[bossco24]

lmao thank you>>>> good day.  epic ending tenebroust i love it!!

[pughmecdoc]

Union Pacific is the same way Ted

[RenegadeTimes]

Fuuuuuuuuck !!!! Excellant Ted. Excellant ! Absolutely true !

[kroovyandcal]

I used to work for the Postal Service. The other employees harassed me so much that I was forced to quit my job, though I liked my job very much.

[jasrogg]

@kroovyandcal Sorry to hear that.You gotta stand up to bullies.

[june201955]

You're not kidding about the post offices being understaffed. Everytime that I go in mine (17055) there is usually a long waiting line of people while there is never more than 2 clerks working at a 6 clerk counter.

[tenebroust]

@lrn2wlk4life What's too easy?

[lrn2wlk4life]

@tenebroust please forgive me for that... good video man

[tenebroust]

@lrn2wlk4life I was just curious at what you were referring to, no biggie.

[valhala56]

i'M AN eBayer with over 2600 feebacks. I dig the postal service, in fact in my opinion the USPS is much superior then UPS, or Fedex. Why? They have an ATM machines which allow me to ship 24/7. I get the boxes free, They deliver on Saturdays which is great for my customers, and I like the Postal employees.

Thanks Tenebroust.

[tenebroust]

@valhala56 This is why I put this video up because I suspect that many feel the way you do and I know that I work hard to make sure that people get good service.

[ivebeenrocked]

@tenebroust Yep, I do a lot of business with the USPS and the 24hr kiosks are awesome. Postal workers are almost always nice, friendly and helpful.

[jasrogg]

@valhala56 Good comment.No great!

[jasrogg]

The Govt is just us all thrown into the same savings account.Therefore we own all Govt agencies.the Post Office is way too important to fuck with.Its Been the model for Good employment and good service.Only demon free market Supply siders dislike the Post Office.When was the last time you went to the Airport at Midnight and mailed through UPS Or FEDEX?Or trusted your Tax Return to UPS Or FEd EX?The Post office always get pushed around because they are such a large target.We all got Mailboxes.

[jasrogg]

I LOVE THE POST OFFICE.And have watched Friends and families buy houses and raise children working there.Its a great job.And it should always be.

[jasrogg]

Obama better call Karl Rove and get the number of the Techs [who are still alive] to help him steal the election.Ohio is calling.

[jimbobubbadj]

@valhala56 I leave the postal lady $30.00 every year as a Xmas tip. Much of the mail that I receive is very important.

[slobomotion]

@jimbobubbadj Yes, ours always gets at least 20 euros. When we see her on her bike we say hi. She's really punctual & professional. I've had so few problems with her over the years. The postal employees here I know also get kind words from me often (costs nothing and when sincere are appreciated). The post office computers have been down the last few days tho and the post office in France is a bank, too, so that is a drag. I want to place a silver order and cannot.

[MrHr1207]

thats why corporations should be disolved and banned! articles of incorporation are not fucking people!

[ElConquistador24]

First video I have seen of yours with no thought invoking literature introduction. Anyways, thank you for sharing the stench of truth.

[valhala56]

First BIOTCHS!
