- The mind behind Mr. Bill Clinton towards financial direction
of this country come 1999 was Al Gore. Mr. Gore believed in open disclosure
as to the true finances of government wealth. Mr. Gore put forward the
establishment of www.financenet.gov what I considered to be a full disclosure
site.
-
- Myself being a strong critic of government's nondisclosure,
when I looked at and reviewed financenet.gov in 1998, it broke all the
rules in the behalf of the people. It gave a listing of local government
CAFRs (Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports), government's Annual Financial
Report that showed "Gross" income as well as total "Investments."
[Trillions in composite totals] It listed the original transmittal letters
from GFOA (Government Financial Officers Association) a private group originally
located in Chicago, Illinois who started the CAFR accounting structure
in 1946.
-
- In 1979 at GFOA's request they had the Feds mandate to
the few local governments who were not in compliance with producing a CAFR
to do so at that time if they wished to continue receiving Federal funding.
That was Transmittal Letter #1 issued in 1979 by what has now become GASB
Government Accounting Standards Board (a Federal Agency) Transmittal Letter
#1 and the correspondences that led up to it were there on Financenet.gov
to be viewed.
-
- What was being hand spoon feed to the public across the
country up until that point were Selectively created budget reports which
excluded "substantial" portions of the gross income and in almost
all cases did not list the investment / future funding accounts as was
shown in the CAFRs.
-
- CAFRs when digested and gross income is totaled showed
in most cases that government had evolved into a corporate for profit business
in which as of the year 2000 only 1/3rd of governments "Gross"
income came from Tax income. Budget reports mislead the public into believing
government's primary income was tax income, it was not. Tax income was
only 1/3rd of the gross as shown in the CAFR once digested.
-
- In many a case after careful review of a CAFR, it was
shown that government in many a case was indirectly funding their own debt
with the use of their own investment funds. A debt as would be shown on
the selectively created budget reports and that the public was being tagged
to repay.
-
- Most people from the private sector would think that
the majority of that ever-growing debt of their local government for bond
issuance's, insurance coverage, etc., or even the mortgage on their own
house was being funded by the private sector. Well, come the year 2000,
it was not. Government enterprise investment groups and government Pension
operations were the primary investors in that debt, and did so using the
government's own investment funds. The public was being locked into repayment
of the debt and by doing so accomplished a return (Non-Tax income) for
the government. If a private corporation did the same to its shareholders
without full and open disclosure of doing so, the directors involved would
be sitting in the federal pen after a multiple count SEC indictment.
-
- But then due to the money involved, government starting
in 1946 evolved into what gives a new definition to the expression of letting
the "Foxes guard the Hen house" and by definition of circumstance
and reality of the current structure, has now given government the true
title and has redefined the meaning of the words "Organized Crime."
Or as the definition of RICO goes, "Extortion of money from the public
through criminal enterprise."
-
- In 1999, I after reviewing Mr. Gores actions and intent
as I read it, he appeared to want a change in this new definition of government
as shown above.
-
- At Mr. Gore's instructions Financenet.gov was created.
At Mr. Gore's instructions an audit was conducted of Federal operations
so that disclosure to the public could be made. The results of that audit
showed a five Trillion dollar surplus! More amazingly was the fact that
they let the public know this. This fact was a true "Hats off"
to Mr. Gore.
-
- Then Mr. Gore announced his run for President. Here I
saw the sparkle of light coming over the horizon. Could Mr. Gore be the
one to downsize the abusive and obtrusive growth in government? Could Mr.
Gore be the one who would qualify that government having 2/3rds Non-Tax
income? A government that could administratively restructure and phase
out all taxes and become self sufficient without taxation? My anticipation
was growing!
-
- Then comes the election
-
- Well, I guess those that were glutinous sots feeding
at the nipple of the vault door in positions of power from within Government
saw the same as I and the rest is now history.
-
- Bush and his gang maneuvers into power in 2000 and THEN:
-
- The darkest period seen recently in my lifetime unfolds.
At first I saw the most important financial information to the public striped
off of Financenet.gov, GFOA transmittal letters stripped, CAFR link listings
deleted. THEN:
-
- It all unfolded with the orchestration of an event in
NY City on a date we all are quite aware of, September 11th. THEN:
-
- Order the Video
- The Biggest Game in Town
- Produced in January of 2000
- By Walter Burien
-
-
- A five Trillion dollar Surplus in four years turns into
a three Trillion dollar deficit. That is 8 Trillion dollars that changed
hands out of the public government vault, and as shown in the 1999 Federal
Consolidated Financial Statement note section, equal to the total "gross"
income of every individual in this nation. The 1999 Federal Consolidated
Financial Statement report can be downloaded at http://www.fms.treas.gov/fr/backissues.html
(The Federal CAFR) What do you think, was that 8 trillion dollars changing
hands enough money to throw an election against Mr. Gore and then lie after
lie to the American people from the Bush Gang as the plunder continues?
THEN:
-
- The entire population of a once truly free country has
now had legislation and new laws jammed down their throat to strip them
of their basic rights and diminish their financial freedoms at the whims
of government officials or upon orchestration of events. Fear is implanted
and masterfully maintained as to "The enemy from afar" THEN:
-
- The US takes over one, then, two, and ??? countries by
brute force securing 50% of the know oil resources of the Middle East,
and lowering the standing of opinion of this country by the international
community to its lowest point in 100 years. But then, look at the money
involved for the individuals at the nipple of the vault door in positions
of power from within Government. NOW:
-
- Here we stand with energy prices shooting through the
roof. Crude light breaking 52 dollars a barrel, which in most probability
will drain so much money out of the pocket of the US populace and the economy
that further dark days are ahead of us. With the US taking over 50% of
the oil reserves in the Middle East and now being in a position to influence
the rest, why is oil shooting through the roof? As always you have to ask
yourself, who profits?
-
- Today, I have sent this communication to Mr. Al Gore
-
- Mr. Kerry in most probabilities at this point will win
the election for President of the United States, but I am specifically
asking Mr. Gore to implore to Mr. Kerry to clearly mention at the next
debate not just the surplus to the deficit fact in four years, but also
the "Gross Income" fact of government with the potential upon
review to move forward in not cutting but phasing out taxation across this
land.
-
- If done Mr. Kerry faces the wrath of those feeding at
the nipple of the vault door in positions of power, but if done this will
be the most exciting election in history! The door handles of the voting
booths will melt off from the friction created of those opening those doors.
-
- But more importantly, a journey will start in reversing
what stands now of Organized crime walking freely in the halls of government,
and putting organized crime back into the dark corners of the street, poorer
and looking for easy money from the outside and not from within. Keep in
mind that as government's investment assets grew, this drove the economy
for 30 years.
-
- Think of what growth we will see by the increase of those
government investment funds to 100% meet all government budgetary requirements
AND taxation being 100% phased out. Prosperity of unequaled proportions
will burst forward across the land! Ownership and freedom by and for the
people will be the final end. TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME, PLEASE!

-
-
- Folks:
-
- Some questions were asked from users on Al Gore's web
site regarding the CAFR and phasing out taxation per my original open letter
posted there to Mr. Al Gore.
-
- I have copied the questions and my posted reply from
Mr. Gore's site below. The letter has been up now for two days and so far
has been viewed 111 times since I last checked.
-
- The whole issue is right there in plain sight, so let's
see how many views to that page can be accomplished. Votes so far on the
poll are four. Need to add a few zeros to that number and who knows, it
may just jump into plain sight outside of Mr. Gores web site and possibly
into the topics of the next debate. Now that would be a very interesting
and dynamic event.
-
- If you want to take the poll, you need to register first
to post on Mr. Gore's site. When done the click off selections to the poll
questions will appear for you to vote.

-
- Xenophile: "I notice that the only option for those
who think it ought to be made public has included in it the phasing out
of all taxes. I am certainly for making stuff public, but do not know
enough about this to start recommending the end of taxation. Might be
a good idea. Might not."
-
- yabu: "Actually I cannot see the inherent connection
between public disclosure of CAFRs and the elimination of taxation. Why
would the second follow from the first?"
-
- Xenophile: "Well, that's kind of my question. The
poll certainly links the two, so much so that there is no way to vote 'no'
on the end of taxation without also voting to keep CAFRs secret. What
I'm saying is that the poll is leading."
-
- ------------------------------------------
-
- WALTER BURIEN'S REPLY:
-
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Xenophile and Yabu:
-
- Per public disclosure of CAFRs and elimination of taxation,
the reality of this situation is that government has given the "false"
impression that they "survive" and operate from Taxation. When
you look at the CAFR to determine "Gross" income being generated
by the "Whole Picture," only 1/3rd of the gross income is derived
from tax income. Two-thirds (2/3rds) of the gross income is primarily derived
from return on investment funds and Enterprise operations. A pension fund
pays a salary at retirement. Arizona, Oregon, Washington State retirement
funds in 1993 - 2000 generated EACH between 3 to 6 billion dollars a year.
-
- Government pension funds have shown an exemplary record
of good management and return for now over 65 years and have grown to composite
totals of a conservative twenty-eight (28) Trillion dollars when looking
at the totals of all local and federal pension funds. These funds grew
to this point with very little being contributed each year by the employee
and government employer and by investment of those funds, helped drive
the economy for the last fifty years.
-
- I do note that actuarial games were played in many a
case to over charge the employee and the taxpayer as these funds spurted
up in their massive balances. Take a look at a state retirement fund CAFR
(yes they do have one) and being for a pension fund will show and give
specific information on "every" investment held, as where local
government CAFRs in most cases will list just totals invested but not the
individual investments. Back in 1993 to 2000 government employees if they
asked what was the return on their pension fund were told 7 or 8%. In reality
they were being told the actuarial projection for return used. The true
or actual return from that period was 16 to 23%.
-
- Misleading actuarial projections can mean the difference
in billions over real need. Most government employees should have been
getting refunds during that period but the take continued to inflate the
balances. Motive? ANS: Where that blossoming money was invested and who
got those investments.
-
- Well, back to the questions of Xenophile and Yabu. Government
since the inception of the CAFR in 1946 has followed a media rule of "If
it is not reported, it didn't happen." Hear was the Holy Grail of
government accounting, their Annual Financial Report and not a peep to
the public for 50 years. The budget, the budget, the budget was all the
public heard. Why? Due to the money involved. In 1946, government was a
pay as you go system. What they brought in from taxation, most went out
in services. With the creation of the CAFR, now the pay as you go structure
could continue under the Budget Report and investment return with the principle
held and massive revenue generated from enterprise operations could be
shifted over to the CAFR.
-
- To give an example of the significance of what happen
from this planed maneuver I will use Arizona as the example. In 1974 as
seen in the Arizona State CAFR, the service budget was 1.8 billion dollars
and the total "Gross" receipts were 2.1 billion or a difference
of 300 million. Come 2000, the service budget was 14.5 billion and the
total gross receipt were 35 billion dollars or a difference of 20.5 billion,
greater than the budget itself! The reality check word I use for this example
is very simply plunder. Plunder justified by any measure or tactic due
to the money involved. Arizona is not unique. Similar standards apply across
the country, not as the exception but as the rule.
-
- So, with a look at the big picture of the CAFR, upon
the realization that now government's gross is only 1/3rd taxation, a new
thought is generated. That being; if they have grown to operate on 1/3rd
taxation, lets go the next 9 yards with a little downsizing and modifications
and make it 100% without taxation!
-
- The poll is designed to create thoughts that scream disclosure.
The phasing out of taxation becomes a very real comprehension of a seed
planted that can turn into a tidal wave of reality once the "Big Picture"
is comprehended and then digested.
-
- As in a pension fund that pays a salary, a Tax Retirement
Fund (TRF) for local venues can be put into motion and if enforced, meet
all budgetary obligations where taxation can be phased out. Additionally,
in good years an actual dividend check could be issued to all resident
property owners.
-
- Government has proven without any doubt that this will
work based on their own exemplary track record of managing their own funds.
The greed, ambition, and abusive growth that is now well entrenched combined
with the void of comprehension intentionally created for public consumption
is the primary obstacle that stands in the way of this happening, but with
open disclosure and just basic comprehension coming forth to the public,
it could happen overnight.
-
- Keep in mind that for the last 30 to 40 years most elected
officials, editors, educators have been sent the CAFRs and not a peep to
the public due to the money involved. Educators themselves produced their
own CAFR for their school districts and Universities. That fact alone is
a testament to the pervasive and grave nature of the collusional nondisclosure
that has taken place in regard to this issue due to the money involved.
-
- Think of the effect on the economy of TRF funds springing
up all over the country and those investments being reinvested in the venues
where TRFs are operating, plus no taxation. Now that's what I call a free
land.
-
- I have been getting really fed up over the last few decades
with the illusions that have been so masterfully marketed and spoon feed
to us at our expense and another's profit. With the above openly coming
forward and going into play to phase out all taxation, this changes the
"Big Picture" on behalf of the public for all time to come and
in reality once applied greatly benefits the economy from increased massive
investment as well as benefiting government from the return accomplished
there from.
-
- This changes the underling MOTIVE of government operations
from where they stand now of extortion and deception for EASY profit to
an open mode of performance, service, efficiency, and well deserved profit
for overseeing the affairs, laws, and prosperity of "The People"
of this country without the obvious detriment of forced taxation. The Financial
Cartels will also be very happy assisting in the management of the TRF
accounts. Government pension funds to date have been their biggest nest
egg. Well, the nest and the economy would thrive with the addition of the
TRF accounts added into the pool. Ready for the millennium anyone? People
of this country, are you ready to regain ownership of your country, property,
and lives?
