FACTS:
1. There are over 85,000 local government Incs, each with their own
revenue and investments.
a. When looking at each, say Manhattan 1.2 Trillion, NY Throughway 31
billion, NJ State 384 billion, Orange County 21 billion, we have just
listed 4 of the 85,000 and here is 1.636 trillion. Now think about the
other 84,996 local government entities.
Anyone having a problem with conceptualizing totals yet?
b. Local Governments total up to about 44 trillion, Federal to about 16
trillion.
Total: 60 Trillion Dollars
c. Out of that figure government pension funds equal about 28 trillion.
d. Just composite government pension funds generated about 4.3 trillion
last year.
e. Total personal income, 1999, from all people in the USA was 8.2
trillion dollars.
SOURCE: Note section of the; Federal Combined Financial Statement
http://www.fms.treas.gov/cfs/index.html
f. Approximate taxation both local and federal, 1999, 3.4 trillion dollars
e. Composite governments "gross income," "all sources," 8.5 trillion
dollars.
FOUR BASIC WORDS / PHRASES NEVER USED IN GOVERNMENT TO THE PUBLIC:
1. Total "Gross receipts," All, budgetary, restricted by statute,
autonomous.
2. Total "Investments," All, budgetary, restricted by statute, autonomous.
3. Total "Net Worth," All, budgetary, restricted by statute, autonomous.
4. "Growth", of government over 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years
We talk, think, and plan these 4 words every day of our adult personal
lives.
Why is it that not one person that I have spoken to has the foggiest clue
as to these four words above as they would apply to their City, County,
State, School District, Road Authority, government owned Power Authority,
Government owned Financial Authority, State owned University, etc.?
Why is it that not one politician, will ever speak of, or give a direct
response to the answer to these 4 basic words in describing the overall
structure?
Why is it that the syndicated news media nor Educational Institutions
never speak these 4 basic words in describing the overall structure?
The 4 basic fundamental words that play such a primary role in our own
personal lives, a void of comprehension has been intentionally
orchestrated to our disadvantage.
The answer to the above is that, with forethought, the takeover syndicate
knew that by maintaining that void of 101 basic comprehension from the
public as it would pertain to composite government, this would allow for
over a period of time, 55 years, starting in 1945, for the complete
takeover of the wealth of this country right under the noses of the
public, and through said takeover, the complete economic and physical
control of that public. Anyone having a problem yet in getting a wake up
call?
When counting the grains of sand on the beach, don't pick up a handful of
sand and look at it in your hand saying that's a lot of sand in my hand.
Look at the beach and realize that the beach goes on well outside of your
view when thinking of how big the beach is!
The government and the world financial economic empires [run by people
with names, faces, and address] have become overbearingly parasitic in
nature. The problem here is that the tick on the 50 pound dog is now 150
pounds. "Picture that one in your mind."
Now we have to ask ourselves, answer, and then act on the most basic
question of all! Who, do we want to survive, the tick or the dog? That
issue has to be acted on immediately being that the dog is becoming weaker
from dragging that tick around, and the outcome is self evident unless
necessary force is applied at this time to correct the situation and save
the dog from the parasitic nature of the tick.
Now the tick in it's benevolent wisdom from when it first planted itself
on the dog, convinced the dog that it was a symbiotic relationship. That
tactic of a symbiotic relationship, now that the tick is 150 lbs is not
convincing the dog, and the dog is becoming skeptical if not outright
hostile. The response from the tick: drain more blood, [make the dog
weaker], and dig in deeper [compensate for the dog trying to shake the
tick off], and the tick is buddying up to the dog catcher in case the dog
needs to be confined. [control the dog so that it can be fed on by
constrained force]
For the dogs out there it's time to team up together and work on tick
elimination, OR GENETIC engineering to modify the parasite to make the
tick self sufficient from what the tick has gorged it's self on already.
Engineering implemented with no further bleeding of the dog necessary to
allow for the ticks survival. This has to be done while the dog still has
the blood and energy to do so. Let the dogs, the cats, and all of the
other animals of the forest team up together for parasite elimination. [At
least until a tolerable level is reached as to the size of the tick(s)]
Evolution, and God's good graces has allowed us to find shelter, food, and
prosper for thousands of years. Systematic and effective Parasite
elimination / reengineering should not be that difficult of a task when we
all [Non-Ticks] focus on the issue. Realizing that our survival as we, our
parents, and our grand parents know it, is at serious and immediate risk
in all senses of the word, for systematic and continued destruction by the
Parasite.
Yours Truly,
Walter J. Burien, Jr.

Walter Burien Jr. worked
as a Wall Street Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) for fifteen years, but
now resides in Arizona. According to Mr. Burien, every state, county and
major metropolitan city is keeping two sets of books. One set, the Budget, is commonly available and tracks each governmental entity's costs and
tax revenue. The Budget is the financial record that's seen by the public
and used by politicians to justify new governmental services and higher
taxes.
However, there is a
second set of books, called the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, or
CAFR, which is virtually unknown to the public but contains the real
record of total governmental income. According to Mr. Burien, although
the Budget gives an accurate account of government costs, only the CAFR
gives an accurate account of government's income.
For example, while a
particular state budget might report receiving $20 billion in taxes (just
barely enough to sustain its $20 billion in costs) - the CAFR might reveal
the state's real income is in the neighborhood of $60 billion - three
times as much as reported on the budget. If these allegations are
accurate, the particular state could stop charging all the taxes we are
familiar with and, not only survive but, either double the amount of
reported government services or give every citizen a huge tax rebate.
The implications are
mind-boggling. The CAFRs reveal that the world is so different from what
we are led to believe, so much more corrupt than suspected, that we are
left with three choices, either; 1) government agrees to end the deception
and stop overtaxing us, or 2) the American people agree to accept their
status as slaves, or 3) both sides refuse to agree and precipitate a
shooting revolution. The issue is that big.
Are Mr. Burien's
allegations correct? How could any governmental entity dare to routinely
overcharge its citizens by 200%, underreport its income by 2/3rds, and
knowingly press for higher taxes based on an inaccurate budget? Worse, how
could such a fraudulent system become widespread among all states,
counties, cities and the Federal Government?
Those who have made
efforts to verify Burien's research indicate that the conclusions drawn by
Burien are probably correct. For instance: The State of Alaska and the
city of Anchorage both use Budget/CAFR accounting systems that conceal a
breathtaking difference in reported revenue. Another researcher in Wyoming
claims that a comparison of his state's budget and CAFR also support Mr.
Burien's arguments. In every case, there are two sets of books and the
income reported on the budget is millions or billions of dollars less than
is reported on the CAFR.
These verifications of
Burien's research and findings lend credence to his allegations.
What follows is an
amalgam of statements or implications raised by Mr. Burien in various
interviews.
Mr. Burien reports first
discovering the CAFR report in New Jersey in 1989, when he helped start
and incorporated a New Jersey tax protest group called "Hands across New
Jersey." While involved with that group, Mr. Burien read in the state's
Annual Budget that the total cost of all public services was $17 billion
and the "net available" (the money on hand to pay all bills) was $24.6
billion. But then he asked the first question the IRS asks in any audit:
"What are the gross receipts?" He added the figures from various state
government sources and came up with about $44 billion and began to wonder
how the state could have $17 billion in costs, $24.6 billion in cash on
hand, and $44 billion annual income? The numbers didn't add up, so he
began to dig deeper.
Because his father had
been Personnel Manager for the State Treasury for four years, Mr. Burien
understood how to get around in the various government departments. The
state Director of the Budget was on vacation, so Mr. Burien called one of
his lowest level assistants and said, "I m working on a report for Richard
[the vacationing Budget Director] and I need all the figures on
the autonomous agency accounts, interest accounts, investment accounts."
The assistant said, "Ohh, you want the CAFR." This was the first time
Burien had heard of the CAFR but he said, "Yes" and the assistant mailed
it to him.
The 1989 CAFR showed
that New Jersey had liquid investment funds (cash) of $188 billion of
which; common stocks worth $70 billion, $10 billion in loans made by the
state due from public and private corporations, and $14 billion in
insurance company equity participation. The little state of New Jersey,
which admitted to less than $25 billion in annual income on its budget,
reported $188 billion in cash, stocks, loans and equity participation on
its CAFR. According to Mr. Burien, "On that day, I learned the definition
of syndicated organized crime." Keep in mind that most of the revenue and
investments from the 21 counties, hundreds of cities, municipalities,
school districts, state financial authorities, pension funds, and 69
enterprise authorities, all of which put out their own CAFR or Combined
Financial Statement are not inclusive with the state's revenue and
investments. Totals here when looking at composite New Jersey government
figures are well in excess of 1.8 Trillion dollars. Divide that figure by the population of New Jersey
to see the per capita share of the wealth.
So why are the taxes in
New Jersey some of the highest in the country? The answered is; Power
corrupts, absolute Power corrupts absolutely. Mr. Burien keeps emphasizing
to the public that they, the public, left the VAULT door open, and those
sharp little crackers said thank you very much. The problem is that most
(95%) of the public responds with, Vault, what vault. With this well
entrenched attitude of naivety by the public in place, those sharp little
crackers now have even stopped saying thank you very much as they plunder
the wealth in their unabated efforts towards the building of their own
empires within the corporate structure of Composite Government.
The scam worked
something like this: Anything that was a cost or expense for public
services (the traditional side of the Annual Service Budget, such as the
Department of Transportation, health and welfare, etc.) was reported on
the Budget where public taxes primarily paid 100% of the bill for those
services. That was $17 billion.
However, any
governmental agency that was a profit center (the Port Authority for New
Jersey, the New Jersey Turnpike, and investment accounts, etc.) that
generated no tax revenue was "restricted by statute from being reported in
and benefiting the Annual Budget. Why? Because the state legislature
passed laws to prevent reporting the income from investment or venture
profit centers on the Budget. Instead, income from these profit centers
was disclosed only on the CAFR or other financial reports referenced in
the notes of the CAFR.
But that disclosure was
not immediately apparent. For example, when Mr. Burien looked for
New Jersey's 1989 "gross cash receipts" in the CAFR, he found the figure
buried on page 174, under the "Waste Water Treatment Trust Fund." It
showed the amount of the total cash receipts (Cash Additions) for 1989
from all state agencies, departments and sources was $86.799 billion. In
other words, New Jersey State Government from all sources was grossing $87
billion to provide $17 billion in public services as seen in the openly
represented Annual Service Budget. New Jersey citizens were paying $5 for
every $1 in services they received, and the state was pocketing the other
$4 as "profit."
When breaking down the
true revenue income, the most important revelation was that only one third
of the states income came from taxes, fines and fees. Two thirds of state
government's income came from Other Sources with no direct tie to the
publicly known budget. When looking at the openly disclosed Budget, which
each year continued to grow at a runaway pace, here ever expanding
taxation primarily covered the expenses.
The CAFR also reported
the state owned $32 billion in common stocks - but this figure was
footnoted. The footnote revealed that the stocks were valued according to
their original purchase price, not the current market value. In other
words, if the state bought a stock in 1968 at $1.25 a share and it's worth
$300 a share now, they still report it on the CAFR as worth $1.25 a share.
Burien determined that the true market value for the "$32 billion" in
stocks reported on the New Jersey CAFR was actually about $70 billion.
But Mr. Burien goes
further - he claims that the dual system of books is not unique to New
Jersey, but also common among the over 54,000 local government corporate
entities operating within all fifty states. Moreover, he claims the dual
accounting system used ten years ago in New Jersey was created in 1946
through an organization by the name of GFOA (Government Financial Officers
Association) and is the primary local government accounting structure
being used today.
For example, "In 1987
Arizona's annual service budget reported $2.8 billion in revenues but the
state's 1987 CAFR reported total cash receipts of $3.1 billion, a mere
$300 million difference."
"However, in 1997,
Arizona reported an Annual Service Budget of $5.5 billion while the State's
CAFR (printed by the Auditor General's Office) showed total gross cash
receipts of $17 billion. That's a difference of over $11 billion. In just
ten years, Arizona had caught up to New Jersey in that both states annual
budgets reported less than one third of the actual gross income seen in
the states CAFRs.
"CAFR and Combined
Financial Statement reports indicate that the composite totals for all
government (Federal, state, county and city) ownership of publicly traded
stocks exceeds $32 TRILLION (53% of the total ownership of all listed
stocks from ALL exchanges), $8 TRILLION in insurance company equity
(should we be surprised by high priced mandatory auto insurance or
unaffordable health care?) and $5 TRILLION in Bond Surety Escrow Accounts
for future liability of existing or potential debt.
Governments use Bond
Surety Escrow Accounts to evade that pesky little rule that government
should not operate at a "profit." That is, government should not impose
more taxes than it actually uses to run the government. By designating tax
revenue that exceeds operating costs as "Bond Surety Escrow" for future
liability, government avoids calling excess revenue a "profit" and is
thereby enabled to continue to enrich itself at public expense.
To illustrate the
potential for abusing "future liability payments," consider the New Jersey
plan in the 1950s to build the New Jersey State Turnpike and Garden State
Parkway Authorities. The state asked voters to approve a $7.5 billion bond
to construct the turnpikes. The state explained that these turnpikes would
be operated as toll roads by the bondholders until the $7.5 billion bond
was paid off - but the bondholders could not operate the toll roads at a
profit. Once the bonds were repaid, the turnpikes would revert back into
the state s Annual Budget as a normal cost/revenue item. The public voted
yes.
Over the following
years, the state sometimes alleged that the toll revenue from operating
those turnpikes failed to cover their operating expenses, and so
additional bonds were passed to fund the turnpikes. As a result, in 1990,
the total bond liability still owed for the turnpike had grown to $14.5
billion. But guess how much was in the Bond Surety Escrow Accounts? $38
Billion! Enough to repay the original $7.5 billion bonds almost four
times!
How could that happen?
Say the toll road made a $400 million profit for the year and the
scheduled payment on the $7.5 billion bond was $100 million. The state
made the $100 million payment but kept the extra $300 million in a Bond
Surety Escrow Account which generated substantial annual dividend returns
for future liability payments. Although they kept the $300 million, they
did not declare it as an asset but wrote it off as a line item payment. In
other years, even though they made a profit, they alleged that they
lost money and therefore floated more billions in bonds. (Guess who pays?)
The bottom line is that
New Jersey and other local government entities are collecting hundreds of
billions of virtually unreported dollars from other operations. The
motivating factor is not public welfare, but control of those billions.
Mr. Burien not only
alleges that the dual accounting system exemplified by CAFR is not only
used by all fifty states, but also by all counties, cities and the Federal
Government itself. If Mr. Burien's allegations are correct, they comprise
the most damning indictment of big government yet seen. In sum, Mr. Burien
implies that our government is in fact a criminal enterprise bent on
oppressing Americans by extorting several times as much tax revenue as it
spends on public services and using the majority of those extorted
revenues to enrich, empower and enlarge government at public expense.
Mr. Burien contends that
the inner circle of the individuals controlling the top wealth of this
structure, have the attitude toward the public of; Keep the Chipmunk (the
public) running on the treadmill, as through trickle down economics, just
enough revenue is supplied to keep the chipmunk running at optimum
efficiency as the top inner circle controlling parties tap off 80% of the
energy produced by the treadmill. The key words here are Optimum
Efficiency and by the definition of what the public has allowed to happen
as they left the vault door unintentionally open, the true final effect of
forced labor and subservience by unrestrained takeover.
According to Mr. Burien,
although the public is absolutely ignorant concerning CAFR, the
primary cause for that ignorance is not the politicians but the mainstream
media. When Mr. Burien first discovered the CAFR reports in New Jersey in
1989, he went on radio 101.5 FM in a live 45 minute interview. Two days
later, that radio station was threatened with losing its license and was
almost shut down. CAFR had become another example of - "third rail
journalism" - any reporter or media outlet that touched the issue would be
silenced or driven from journalism. As a result, there's been a total
mainstream media blackout on disclosing CAFR reports. For over twenty five
years the directors and CEOs of the primary syndicated media organizations
both print and broadcast, were sent state CAFR reports each and every
year, as they maintained a blackout towards the simple mentioning of the
report.
Mr. Burien reports the
discovery of the fact that New Jersey State Judges are vested in a
personal retirement guarantee of $5,000,000.00, per judge after they serve
as a judge for one year. Federal district court judges did not have a
retirement or pension plan do to the fact that they were appointed for
life. Being appointed for life they received their full paycheck and
benefits for life. Do you need anyone to spell it out for you? Would a
New Jersey State or Federal District Judge allow an attack on the
squirreled away $Billions and jeopardize his entry into $Millionaire$
status? The inner circle gets the gold!!
Later, Burien learned
that the New Jersey official in charge of discrediting his CAFR
discoveries was a former reporter (Harvey Fisher) who d been appointed
Assistant State Treasurer - even though he had no former financial
background. Burien investigated his background and learned that as a
reporter he made $35,000 a year. But as Assistant State Treasurer he made
$65,000 a year - plus a Carte Blanche expense account of $125,000
!????????
Burien claims this was
not an aberration: "I knew there was a state data search department under
the Department of Treasure Personnel division which tied all agencies and
departments together. I called that department and asked for a data search
on all key level directorships and supervisory positions for all budgetary
or autonomous agencies, and they came up with some 3,400 names from
several administrations. Almost 1800 of these Directors were former
editors or reporters! It is a virtual certainty that many of these
appointments were payoffs for the journalist's previous "cooperation" in
spinning or silencing stories to suit government.
If you conduct a
comparable search in other states, you may find a similar symbiotic
relationship between government, editors, and reporters. The more money
held and generated by an agency, the higher the percentage will be. If so,
the media's "liberal, pro-government bias" may run much deeper than anyone
has imagined, and the military-industrial complex" described by President
Eisenhower in the 1950's may have been replaced by a
"media-bureaucracy-banker complex" in the 1990s.
Therefore, Mr. Burien
recommends that once you analyze your state's Budget and CAFR reports, you
insist that your local news mainstream media (TV, papers, radio) raise the
"Public Awareness" by reporting the difference between the composite
"total of cash receipts from all agencies, departments, investments, etc."
and the "actual total composite revenues held or controlled." Mr. Burien
started with national disclosure of the CAFR and the structure behind it
on June 8th 1998. In 1999, GFOA and GASB (Government Accounting Standards
Board) changed the accounting requirements for local governments within
the Combined Financial Columns of the CAFR from; All revenue, income and
investments being shown, To; All revenue, income and investments being
shown that were necessary to meet obligations and liabilities of that
local government. This change in accounting is substantial. The good
point here for disclosure is that you can look at a pre 1999 CAFR report,
1997-95-93, etc., and spot large drops in revenue from post 1999 reports
in comparison with pre 1999 CAFR reports. With this being done, you now
know to ask and look for the accounting of those revenues taken off the
balance columns of the CAFR. Read the notes of the CAFR carefully.
If your local media
refuse to publicize your state's CAFR, they may be cooperating with a
criminal agreement which has effectively silenced public disclosure of the
CAFR reports for over forty years. However, once Americans know how much
money is out there, where it's coming from and where it's going - the
government's and the inner circle's game will be over.
Any media that refuses
to make immediate mention of the CAFR report should be publicly and
aggressively boycotted. Exposure of the complicity of media is the jugular vein of the evil and
corruption.
A video produced in
December of 1999, by Mr. Burien, entitled: "The Biggest Game In Town",
is available and is set up for airing on your Public Access or local TV
stations. Mr. Burien, in this video introduces a program that could lead
to the final elimination of taxation in this country with a possible
dividend return to the public by and through the restructuring of the
principle of operation of government by public mandate in making the
public the direct beneficiary of the wealth. The information on the video
is a must see for every American.
[So what does this mean for you? You can let go of
the programming that says that you must do your duty and pay taxes.
Government earns more than enough money to handle higher budget costs than
they do now through the use of taxes. But you think you owe income
taxes and you have no alternatives. There ARE alternatives
and we can connect you with professionals available to see you through
this process. See our folder on
debt
elimination.] |
