  • You are so right, The criminal bankers and their friends on Wall Street and the federal reserve are decimating this country and are hell bent upon enslavement of all of us into serfdom. Good post.

  • Obama... Your a nightmare for this country ... When you are a phony it's hard to keep facts straight.

    Be on the lookout for snake oil salesmen & their cure all products, false claims with fake credentials, avoid their miracle cures which are actually get rich quick schemes which are targeted at those with chronic delusions .

  • republicans already did a great job attacking social security.

  • Dude, I understand your frustration, but you must know, your promise will never, and has never, been in the United States' Government. Turn your eyes to the Lord, He is in control and we are all in His hands. The time we spend on this sin filled earth is very, very brief, and you will NEVER be satisfied with how any government runs its people. We are human in need of a perfect Savior, and there is only one, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Knowing this will make you much more at peace.

  • You're 50 years too late with this rant. The US Supreme Court already decided that you have NO RIGHT to a dime you (forcibly) contributed to social security (Flemming v Nestor, 1960). Since the law of the land ALREADY states that we have no right to social security receipts, this makes "privatization" of social security a moral necessity. We MUST have "privatization" in order to secure the property rights that the Supreme Court has denied us.

  • @herbs814 It would be all well and good to go for privatizing social security IF there was a market into which it could go. All markets are neither free not fair and since law would be required to make such a thing happen then that law could be changed like in the case you cite. I'd rather take back the government and force full funding and compensation through social security than trust a dime to usurous bankers.

  • @tenebroust

    The only way for government to offer "full funding" is to STEAL those funds from the productive private sector, from our paychecks and our wallets and our assets and our inheritances, from the very finite time of our lives. ALL wealth comes from the private sector. All wealth is created by the private sector. All wealth rightfully belongs to the private sector.

  • how do I make a post to comment on the video without replying to individual post?

    I just wanted to say........someone, ANYONE,,,,,,HIDE THIS GUYS GUNS, HE IS NUTS!

  • american society is corrupt anyway.

  • Can you earn $43,945.75 in 30 days with ZERO investment? Here's what I know about it. People will do it with... Passive Income Advice [dot] com.

  • thank you! keep talking sense!

  • as I recall it was a 1960 Supreme Court case that told us that we had no right to expect anything back from social(ist) (in)security. This confirms that socialist insecurity is a pyramid scheme that will only reward the first to collect at the expense of young workers.

  • and the Bush proposal was for workers to be allowed to VOLUNTARILY choose to put a small portion (4%) of your social(ist) security "contribution" be placed into a personal account with your own name on it -- your own asset. And the demoncrats wouldn't allow us even that small morsel of freedom. That was the last straw. The demoncrats' refusal to entertain personal accounts and their demagoguery on the issue was the reason I left the democrat party.

  • I can still call for abiding by the obligation.

  • Thanks Ted. 401K is a joke. Can't believe people are leaving it in there, or putting more in there. It's being stolen every few years.

    Nursing homes... go in there and the gov immediately gets control of all your money and assets except your house, if it's paid for. You can't give a dime to your kids.

    Don't they get enough money from us, as you said, all those years... and why are nursing homes so expensive? $5 a month around here. Come on...

  • It's absurd.

  • If I was Barry Obama or whatever his name is, I wouldn't have taken the Job after that clown Bush wrecked the country.

    I would be insulted to be offered a Job that a monkey had been doing for 8 years before they offered the job to me. Those bastards in Government would murder their own Grandmothers for a dime. I would rather have John Wayne. Osama bin head is still free, what about you?

  • Obama is doing fine with or without Bush, he is moving head long into our continued demise.

  • Henceforth, Obama shall be known by his real name, his soulname, and that name is...

    Daddy Looongstroke.

  • Thank you Ted!

  • Thanks for watching.

  • Dumb ass video

  • The Money was not lost...it was taken away from you...

    They only allow you to have it when they feel like it..People must understand this concept...they print the shit so they say they own it...Good let them pay the US debt.

  • their is no more law or rules..Tene....it's pure fascism. they believe ... .it's their money not ours.

  • Yes I know, it must be stopped if we can do it.

  • prepare for next march being shaky, I hear a "big" union is renegotiating their contracts for retirement basically forcing retirement age people to take a hike by then or lose a very large portion of their pensions...

  • This is the new norm.

  • omg you read my mind, I saw the whitehouse vlog on this yesterday and thought almost the exact same thing, although I believe it's not an end to ss, it's most likely another one, an extra "fund" to siphon.

  • I just love it when Obama greases first, talks to people as if they were imbeciles before announcing the govt plan for their next hiest like he did announcing this one.

    Recall just before Usury by the credit card cos was legalized in July, Obama tells us we need to stop maxing out our credit cards and create savings instead of spending so much! (no mention of mass layoffs, home loss etc).

    Obama's trying to squeeze this one in the bathroom window to condition us.

    But insults us first.

  • So he distracts us from our suffering as a people by telling us "it's our lazy ineptitude and self indulgence" that caused the problem, not at all the responsibility of his den of thieves and the rats scattering all over the world with our trillions of hard-earned dollars

    No, only the Govt with their track record of competence are authorized to remove more dollars from our paychecks (if we have a job) and ah, nevermind our decades of SS investmt which has vanished up their metrosexual noses

  • So stick it under your matress if it makes more sense to you. Bottom line is you can make as many demands as you can enforce. The government is accountable in places where the government fears the people. They love people who sit in their basement and shriek out videos. Those are the ones who they don't have to worry about. It's why they let you have this place.

  • They don't "let" him have this place. They pay him to have this place. Double agents are all the rage. Soon the MOON MEN will make their plans known and all the good Christians left will be forced to take the mark of the moon beast.

  • Sept. 24 G-20 in Pittsburgh, SHTF then.

    Mass March on the G-20 Summit: The Peoples Uprising!

    Arsenal Park (40th Street & Penn Ave.) in Lawrenceville.

  • Great rant and on target. This is just another step in our planned systematic destruction. As our SSI contributions and savings are taken by the banksters we are told we must lower our expectations as if this so called crisis was anything more than a fraud. I guess they are going to go the depopulation route because most people are getting wise to these scams. You can see they are really desperate now.

  • Yeah, you lose it all, and then it's your fault cause they stole it.

  • I can't resist

    George Carlin: they're coming for your Social Security

    watch?v=sJeFrqBJF6E

  • I hope it works out....I would however not put any more in if you don't have to....a coin in the hand is worth 2 in the IRA...LOL

  • They plan on depopulation of us all.

  • How can they achieve that if they are first to be depopulated.

    Decide whether you're a thinking human being capable of strategy or a piece of furniture.

  • Decide whether you are a jackass or a troll deckchairs! Go comment on someone elses comment jerk.

  • My comment is for deckchairs who runs around trolling on everyones comments.

  • The government has destroyed our country. It's over.They looted us. Both parties are to blame.

  • The government has confiscated gold before. If you do not have physical possesion of it you can't count on getting your cyber gold when you need it.

  • That's true.

  • It was LBJ who I believe was a democrat that started looting the SS funds in 1968.

  • Amen brother...

  • Social Security was set up PRECISELY so that people would have a basic safety net in old age or via disability BECAUSE of the Stock Market Crash in 1929. Private investments are ok, as supplement, but what if they FAIL?  You'll be left out in the cold, that's where. Millions of the elderly today would be left homeless TODAY, without such a program in place. There is no way, even via stock-market, that the average pee-on in America can 'secure' their investments on a salary of 30k per year.

  • Absolutely my point. Thanks Ella!

  • The social security FDR setup would only work with a sound money policy. It will not work after the U.S. government abandoned the gold standard in 1971. After that, the rate of inflation was faster than the gains from the interest rates on social security. This is why it doesn't work anymore! The money you get today is worth more than the money you will get back 40 years later!

  • Of course, that's true but it is not the total picture of my message.

  • social security is done regardless of what obama does.

    your money is just pieces of paper that the banks (working collectively as a cartel called the federal reserve) claim is valuable.

    no need to yell or curse, just take your savings out of the bank and buy gold, tools, food, etc.

  • Yes, but my main focus is on accountability. Yes, take your paper and buy stuff you need, take care of yourself, etc. But there is still an extant obligation, period.

  • Everyone should take all their money out of

    The Skank of America and Shiti Bank.

    Put your money in a good local bank and bring these fking big banking scumbags down.

  • That's a good idea.

  • meh.... social security is an unfunded pension obligation. Meaning that if they refunded it the state would collapse and we would go into a hyperinflationary spiral soon afterward. Well those obligations were contingent on everyone having 4 kids on average. Instead we have been told by society to be socially responsible and abort our 3rds.

  • Zero Population Growth effort died somewhere around 1976. The same year wages flatlined.

    The same year real estate began to double.

    The same year border policies killed 100 year old immigration protocols to make sure wages remained depressed/repressed.

  • and since then the us has relied on immigration and their first generation families for not only growth but to sustain the numbers and they will be asked to pay for my parents retirement. Do you think they will say yes or will they opt for killing them at the end of their productive lives?

  • Even tho I carefully worded my statement to imply that immigrants are used as pawns in the suppression of wages for the entire country, you wish to take the

    Divide and Conquer stance.

    Please refine your thinking.

    By the way, All countries have immigration policies. Which also has nothing to do with your kneejerk victimhood.

    We are ALL oppressed by this gov't, so why not join in a Common Cause that effects us all, just for once think outside your narrow agenda..

  • I don't have a narrow agenda. You have been reading the prince for too long. Yes, just as all countries have central banks. This is part of my spakking is you start with raw material and then you hammer the crap out of it until you have a usable element. The common clause Im involved in is progrowth and multilaterial development. Because most immigrants come here because things are worse where they came from. So if we give them the tools to help their homelands less of them will come here dtl.

  • Where did you get the idea I have something against immigrants?

    I have nothing against anyone regardless of where they come from and wish them well.

    You've pulled this entire "argument" from your rump.

  • Since you bring it up, I would give anything to immigrate out of the u.s. into a saner culture like Norway.

    Unfortunately I would have to wait 7 years and even so, cannot afford to since I can thank the killing of the economy for losing my job with a family to raise on my own.

    I do not resent Norway for their immigration policies, or any other country's need to regulate pop inflow.

    It's called common sense and respect for your host country.

  • Well, figure out how to be prosperous and help build a community around you that is of a growing demographic. Then eventually the culture will be cultured to your level of sanity. Norway took several centeries of hacking each other to bits in order to settle down. I know you were just saying they were being used. Now if we and they stood maybe things would stop degenerating. Unless of course we would rather hack each other to bits.

  • The only way to prosper is to unplug from the gov't matrix.

    community efforts are growing and thankfully I live in a smaller town of approx 80,000 which has progressive leanings toward community gardens, trade, etc..

    Hacking to bits? Where the bloody heck are you located in space, what a completely bizaar statement.

    All countries have violence in their history.

    What does that have to do with the current paradigm? Nothing.

  • In all seriousness azezel2311,

    choose some other person to have a circular nonsensical blahblah with.

    You're a waste of time for rational discussion.

    Consider yourself ignored.

  • so you have had your fun. The only problem with this matrix is that it has taken the position of restricting personal movement instead of giving the people the tools they need to continually raise the resource horizon.

  • Jaw-dropping for me to understand why anyone would wish to beat down the doors into a fascist- turning country is beyond my comprehension,

    unless of course you are desperate to leave a country the u.s. is occupying and bombing into another hell-on-earth, or fund/stage their policymakers to plunge populations into desperate straits.

    I can't think about this anymore without feeling nuts.

  • Killing of course.

  • The eugenics and depopulation mandate is still in effect.

  • it's ( fucked up )

  • Obama will destroy social security? He's a president not Darth Vader.

  • No, he just put a snake in the rat cage.

  • He might as well be a Dark Lord of the Sith.

  • Obama's got you down, eh? He never loses his cool, he knows how to raise 2 beautiful children, and also runs your country at the same time. Seems like a pretty decent guy to me.

  • Never loses his cool yet his eyes look dead. He just threw Jones under the bus.

    Raising children decently is the right of all children, not too hard for a millionaire to manage with a wife and nannies galore.

    He does not run this country. Obama is undermining states, allowing bush adm gutting of the constitution to stand.

    Plenty of new wars and mercenaries w/o oversight.

    Setup of domestic corporations on our stolen money proceed overseas.

    States allow to fail..

    "Seems Like" fraud.

  • Very well said.

  • hey stupid piece of shit osaka...the NIGGER is running this sick nasty SCARY country into the toilet.

  • It must be nice living in a country where you can abuse your freedom of speech to insult people instead of focusing on the actual issue, not everyone in the world is as lucky as you.

    You realize the more time you spend hating people who love your President (and I have to admit, Obama is loveable), the less time you have to actually get educated on issues and make a positive change in your corner of the world.

    I support Obama. He's only human. And I will allow him to be imperfect.

  • satan worshipping 33 Deg Masons are imperfect, aren't they? wow...sick fucking country

  • It's your right to do so. Personally I can't stand any of his policies. You think he's lovable? How does that relate to "real issues"?

  • Oh yeah, and I hope Obama does take away your social security, because the only security you deserve is in a prison in Guantanamo.

  • GREAT IDEA! at least i would get free health care...ha ha hah ah haha ha hah....great idea asswipe!

  • Actually, that was a pretty creative comeback. Nice trolling dipshit.

  • Of course, that's all we deserve.

  • He runs the country the same way Bush did. The guy we thew out because we were promised change.

  • Did anyone ask him what he meant by change?

  • The govt has no responsibility except to itself.

  • That's the problem isn't it?

  • This is a catch 22 situation. My wife, via her Retirement Plan through work, knows that there is no money there. All was lost on Wall Street. Her insurance company is the red to the tune of 350 million. Now here is the rub,"It is near impossible to take your money out of the system and invest for ones self." It is all a lie Ted. Canada is no fucking different.

  • Of course. The idea I am trying to make is that there will be no money for people from SS in the near future BUT we will still have to pay AND our "new" retirement plan will go bankrupt soon enough.

  • One of the classic final moves a collapsing government of fascist gangsters is the looting of the national treasury.

  • Yes.

  • i'm afraid you are right about this one my friend. lots of articles out about SS being the next great bailout but of course not much airplay. So now O says 'Youll be able to check a box on your tax return to receive your refund as a savings bond' well who the fuck wants to do that when the the current savings bond rate is 0% !!! And of course everyone (who is still working that is) will still be forced to pay FICA. 5***** faved

  • You're damn right CV, this is what comes next.

  • Great points, CV. Was thinking that too.

    Unfortunately, many of us knew this for a long time, and we don't do anything, we just sit and watch each little step they take to screw us over even more.

  • Social Security is, and always has been a social insurance system, and the indivudual has never has a right to receive back everything contributed--that is, and always has been the whole point. It could not be otherwise.

  • Key word is insurance. We were forced to pay for it so we should get something from it. If you have a car accident and the insurance company says sorry we looted all the money would you be pissed?

  • Right.

  • Of course, but it should be available to all who have invested in it.

  • I thought they kinda have to do this because they stole from social security to fund their illegal wars. Kind of a heads up. There ain't no social security. Soon the entire federal budget will be interest payments to the banksters they just bailed out to set in motion the greatest robbery of history. Welcome to WWIII.

  • OK so we know who ripped off what and how they did it. The banksters were allowed to rape the national treasury, so they have accomplices. The corruption is wide spread, but because it is obvious who the shills and perpetrators are and have been, there is no obscurity in who is guilty of treason. If officers of law enforcement and the officers of the courts won't arrest and try them, they are guilty as well. Which side are they on?

  • Good question.

  • Of course. I speak of obligation.

  • Glad you could recoup some of that.

  • You may want to check...but if you are holding that in paper you may not be able to trust that the metal is actually there and available to you upon demand.....just be sure

  • Good advice.

  • Unfortunately SS has gone to more than just retirement....disabled people have also gotten SS and taken out far more than they have put in...couple that with people living longer...yes it sucks since 401K's are no longer an option..in addition our houses are worth less than we owe AND you can not sell them anyway....they do not want us to have a safety net, or any assets of any kind.

  • Systematic destruction.

  • I have been disabled since 2/82 but I managed to keep working until I had a back injury in 2000. I paid into this insurance system for 27 years and don't feel a bit guilty for cashing the tiny check they send me.

  • You're a drain on the system. If you can't pay your bills you should just die. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

  • Former volunatary police officer and military police officer. Thank you for respecting my contributions to society and please list your credentials so I can deciede if you need to die with me.

  • I'm someone who pays for my own insurance and the rest of my own bills. I'm not a dead beat like you, leaching off hard working Americans. I don't care if you were a voluntary rocket scientist, now you're just another socialist puppet of your MOON MAN overlords.

  • Unless you are self employed half of your insurance is payed by your employer and passed onto the custormers. Put your money where your mouth is and ask your employer to let you pay that part too so that customers won't have to pay for your health care.

  • You should not have to feel guilty.

  • I remember that.. can you imagine what would have happened.... we'd be more broke than we are now. That shithead was such a puppet.

  • I can imagine, the country would probably have fallen already.

  • This all started LONG before Obama...your statement shows true ignorance on many levels

  • OMG!

    As much as agree Obama is a lying corrupt piece of garbage like the rest of this gov't-gone-rogue,

    CALLING HIM A NIGGER IS WAY OUT OF LINE.

    Tenebroust, did you miss this post?

    Please ban this lunatic.

  • Jesus H Christ. Please change your screen name. Texans have a poor enough image without idiots like you making us look worse.

  • I'll not censor speech here.

  • Interesting approach. At least this fire sputtered out early.

  • It is not the republicans or democrats anymore, it's all of government. Obama is a perfect supposed left wing "socialist" to go after social security because people will still be fooled into thinking it is the "right" or the republicans even while it is disappearing before their eyes.

  • Most of the sheep will do what ever Obama tells them to do. If they were brain dead enough to vote for him, they can be talked into anything. I myself would rather eat my young before giving in to this man and his cronies.

  • Good for you.

  • Now i wont get into the ins and outs of gov programs. I am sure you know my views but i will try to find a link to a story of a world leading CPA and economist of the 79s.Whom of which testified in the 70s in congress. He stated how he couldn't understand why Social Security did own the hole world with the amount of cash it had invested and the posotive returns it was showing.

  • Very well said.

  • Our government is run like a third-world country.

  • It must be addressed and stopped.

  • Public employee pensions will also be running out soon as they are unsustainable. Baby Boomers better start getting used to a lower standard of living. No more driving around in the Ferrari on weekends. Better sell that thing in lieu of the pension cheques.

  • This is exactly what I'm talking about. It is a mind set they try to sell. "Get used to less", "be more thrifty", "you can't afford it like the old days" Bull. There is a responsibility to all of those people and I demand that it be enforced, damn it.

  • Yes.

  • nice to see someone who isn't side tracked by the smoke screens all going off around us...lets see ...Ill just mention mandatory vaccines...as one of their most popular distractions...in fact it a number one hit! I could go on ...just ask yourself what everyone is up in arms about...and thats probably the manufactured distraction a la carte. Its about the robbery and corruption in our system....we gots rats!

  • Thanks for watching.

  • I figure demographics (baby boomers) + looting of SSI over the years means I will not see one cent that I paid into SSI if I reach retirement age. Worse, SSI is probably looted for wars and other atrocious programs. I suppose the concept of SSI was a nice, fuzzy idea back in the 30's, but demographics and any presence of government corruption will doom it. It probably should have never been started in the first place so people would learn to save on their own, or suffer the consequences later.

  • It's a great idea, it's still is, and it can be made better. Personal responsibility is great and should be the norm. But this is something that cannot just be left to wither and die.

  • Correction: Bush/Clinton Monarchy for 28 years.... Talk to your local sherrifs, follow the path that the oath keepers have set. Educate the key people locally that need to be informed of what is going on. Whats important is we survive the plan to depopulate the US first... theyve stolen the money and now they want to get rid of the witnesses... see 91177info's channel for more... social security is dead, you'll be lucky if you see your pension...youll be lucky if you see next spring.

  • Oh yes, the depop. agenda must be addressed.

  • The whole lot of 'em (government, bankers) are so astronomically arrogant and selfish that they literally hate the average citizen. They consider us nothing more than ignorant and pathetic slaves. And consider themselves to be, quite literally, a different breed of human. I long for the day when they are pulled from their mansions and disposed of.

  • They certainly are a different breed of human: Sociopathic, that is.

  • Yes.

  • They do.

  • GAH!

    *thump thump thump*

    yup. thats my heart.

    complete awesomeness Ted! WOOT! :D

  • Thanks J, always a pleasure.

  • responcibility...they told me I could buy a600,000 house only with a "$10,000" down payment.

    fuck em all

  • Yes.

  • If you can't pay your bill you should die. End of story, how can these people think I should pay so they can live? This is AMERICA and I would rather DIE then help some dying person! That is SOCIALISM!

  • Maybe we could pay our bills if we haven't had money stolen from us for SS with the promise the insurance would pay when we retired. We could have invested that money in gold but we had no freaking choice. Have you ever been screened for sociopathy?

  • I agree I've been paying in for 30+yrs. The Gen X'ers and Endboomer have been getting the short end of the stick for years, only our children and grandchildren will possibly have it worse yet.

  • Gen X'ers have definitely put up with a lot of CRAP.

  • Indeed.

  • That's right. Something could be done to ensure that this continues and is funded, etc. but there are always stealthy little hidden ways of not doing so.

  • Hey Tenebroust you and me are the end of the Boomers and we are fucked by demographics- as much as I'm disappointed by Obama for either being a clever corporate shill or a weak ass pussy progressive I can't throw the SS craptacular at him - people saw the bridge was out decades ago and still ran the train full speed ahead- yes we are good and truly fucked but then why shouldn't we be, that's how most of earths population lives - we should be grateful we had nice lives for awhile.

  • That is one way of looking at it.

  • I've had it with ALL states.

    They're all shite.

  • Little in the way of options anymore.

  • Social Security is already destroyed... Because it's SOCIALIST. We should put every old person on trail for treason.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA

  • Comment removed

  • It was destroyed because the funds were looted to keep from raising taxes on you. Put your money where your mouth is and reimburse the government for the taxes you did not have to pay because it was stolen from a mandatory insurance program.

  • They spent it and screwed everyone- wait until the last of the actual retirement funds flee the country because our market will not produce enough growth to pay..by the way...when we revolt - Put this guy up front.  Thanks for your post..I am in the same boat...by the way- they cannot stop this- so get ready.

  • ten, I would pay money to see you debate ANY of the assholes in DC. Jesus, I would love to see that happen. You and YOU alone, could bring these grimy bastards to tears, I do believe.

  • Thank you very much.

  • the clintons are more to blame for the bank rupting of the social security fund then anyone else.

  • Perhaps so.

  • Wach IOUSA on google video. There is a lot of blame to spread around. I don't think Clinton abused SS anymore than other presidents but he did gut welfare.

  • that movie blows. it starts off acting neutral but by the end of it you feel like you got conned into watching a movie by fox news

  • The head of the GAO under 3 presidents has no credibility on our financial condition? I think you are conning yourself.

  • Very nice, Ted. This administration and others will continue to get away with abhorrent legislation, however, and I think it stems from a faulty educational system. Somewhere down the line you learned to think critically. What if most of our citizens had the same skills and passion?

  • I wish they did.

  • You can't think critically when you're watching TV all day. Most Americans watch too much TV and don't read enough books. And by books, I don't mean just anything, I mean stuff like philosophy, the Classics. A real Classical Education.

  • Absolutely. Well said.

  • Its true doesnt matter Dem or Repub the policies that are destroying the country and allowing it to be fleeced. Prior to them putting a black face on the presidency, which should tell you its gonna be a tough 4 years, it was a Bush/monarchy for 28 years. The Crown depleted the tax reserve with the 700 TLN bailout and now they want all the useless eaters dead because they are a drain on the crumbling system. How can anyone trust these sociopaths in power and think they wont turn on them also?!

  • I don't trust anyone.

  • here in the uk they tax the social security that you pay in to if it goes over a certain amount , so it not a good way to save for retirement because they take majority of it when it reaches a certain amount , majority of workers who retire now have to go on the doll or get another job , ie more slavery

  • Try this. See if you can find out what the I in SSI and SSDI stands for on any government web site. The I stands for insurance. This was a mandatory insurance plan we were forced to pay premiums on and now that all the money has been looted they are calling it an entitlement and trying to make it sound like it is some kind of welfare.

  • Correct analysis.

  • xwarnomore58x: correct again! No, it's NOT welfare and not a FREE entitlement. We paid into it with OUR money, so that it would provide a basic safety net for everybody! If I was making 100k per year, I would still be in favor of paying those taxes, period.
