Globalism’s Killing US Economic Engine

Posted on | July 25, 2010 | No Comments

By Xelan Bonn (July 25, 2010) www.xelanbonn.com

We open with a top German publication quote that sums things up nicely…

…globalization is striking back. The United States has promoted the worldwide exchange of commodities like no other nation, and the result is that their local industry has begun to be eroded. Some production sectors — such as the furniture industry, consumer electronics, many automobile part suppliers, and now computer manufacturers — have left the country for good. In the recent past, free trade has primarily benefited the very rival states that are now mounting an economic offensive on the United States — and which have cut off a large slice of America’s global market share for themselves…

On Oct. 28, 1998, the US Congress established a commission that brought together highly respected experts to examine the effects of the country’s trade deficit and the withering away of industrial labor… Things were going swimmingly for the Americans until the end of the 1970s, the commission report concluded. Family incomes grew virtually at the same rate in all sections of the population during the first three decades after World War II, with those of the poor growing slightly faster. The lowest fifth of US society saw a 120 percent increase in incomes, the second fifth 101 percent, the third 107 percent, the fourth 114 percent and the fifth 94 percent. It was as if the American dream had manifested itself in statistics.

But then the trend reversed… and global trade had shifted directions. Capitalists left their home turf and went looking for suitable locations to invest in. Direct investment abroad – which had been more or less in harmony with exports until then – rose dramatically. –Spiegel (11)

Investors left the US because there were no financial penalties for doing so and the same nonsensical government approach is well aligned with transnational corporations this moment—corrupt government bending to the will of essentially foreign entities with no allegiance to America or Americans, or concern for the nation’s or middle class well being. The transnational has become, essentially, a modern day pirate, conqueror of nations and the middle class is preferred prey.

In the 1970s, the trend towards supporting globalism on US soil by consumers was just gaining traction and turning toward common reality. Today, everybody proclaims we live in a global market—as if that’s a good thing—for ignorance is truly bliss.

Little do most Americans know that globalism is killing America and its middle class engine which runs our great economy—and that, in turn, is killing the American Dream and Superpower while dangerously weakening our ability to defend ourselves—every American will soon be in high jeopardy.

To better understand how it all works, we need to first boil down some basic elements.

Consumer Based Economy
America is a consumer based economy. This means consumers buy the products or services sold in the US, and that keeps most of our businesses, hence economy, going. About 70% of the nation’s economy is reliant on consumerism. Other aspects, such a out-going trade, business to business aspects, energy making, and so forth make up the remaining 30% of our economy, and are often interactively dependant on the consumer side being strong—fall the consumer side and you fall the entire US economy.

Middle Class Economy
The largest portion of our consumer based economy comes from middle class consumers who have the extra income needed to buy most-all non-staple products and services (staple items are basic food and clothing items and non-staples are considered luxury items, such as IPods, TVs, movie tickets, etc.).

Consumer Income
Of course, consumers can not consume unless they have the discretionary income needed to do the consuming. Economist are quick to disregard the question, “where do consumers get their money to consume?” Or, “How do we safeguard this economic powerhouse engine?” For too long these questions have been left unanswered and under served.

Consumer Earning Drives Our Consumer Economy
Should consumers suddenly have less money to consume with, then common sense tells us they will consume less—which, in turn, requires our consumer based economy to shrink or fall accordingly. As consumers buy less American products or services, there is less demand for such, thus jobs decline in the market, reducing opportunities for middle class employment. As employment opportunities decline, thus does consumerism.

Dollar-Kill On The Rise
There are several forms of “dollar kill” but the most prevalent form results when consumers (or businesses) purchase goods or services originating off shore. The dollar is thus removed from the US economy, effectively “killed” from market circulation. This means there are less dollars circulating, thus available, to keep the economy moving. Consumers are “killing the dollar” like never before in US history as largely non-American made product stores like Wal-Mart sweep the nation.

Aspects That Shrink The Middle Class
If we lower the incomes or buying power of the middle class either by wage stagnation or devaluation, or by job diminishment or loss, or by consumer product or service cost/price inflation, or other aspects or combinations of one or more, the middle class begins to decline. Those on the lower income levels fall into the poverty class first and are thus less able to make non-staple purchases—hence are removed from the consumer engine. And those at the upper levels may also feel the pinch and find their dollars not going as far so they, then, slip farther down the economic ladder—yet still remain within the middle class.

Forces That Cause Shrinkage
There are many forces that can cause shrinkage aspects in the middle class. They include, but are not limited to: economic decline, over taxation, over regulation, contraband labor, de-regulation, international price of money (monetary exchanges or interest rates), money supply and monetary policy, excessive foreign trade, job losses, wage devaluation, inflation, obsolesce, outsourcing, off shoring, geo-politics, and more. Basically, a great many things can have a large effect on the soundness of the middle class, hence their collective ability to be consumers with sufficient buying power to sustain the bulk of our economy.

Biggest Forces Causing Middle Class Shrinkage
Today, globalism is the single great destroyer of the middle class in America. (11) In every First World nation where globalism (free trade between First World and Third World nations) occurs, the middle class and country’s over-all wealth have declined markedly.

Middle class incomes are kept stagnate or made to shrink as workers in Third World countries create products and services for pennies on the dollar in comparison to American workers. And, in turn, America’s middle class consumes those cheaper foreign products and displaces American workers. Thus the importation of cheaper goods and services and consumer’s acceptance of such ensure the digressive economic cycle continues. It is essentially middle class cannibalism.

The Wal-Mart toaster from China may cost $2 less than the American made one, but the American made one kept 50 Americans employed and in the middle class consumer pool. When the American in the middle class bought the toaster from China, they saved $2 but also helped to shrink their own middle class pool of opportunities. The average US consumer cares not about America, only about low prices—and American workers, once safeguarded by cheap import tariffs and other restrictions, now must compete with $1 per hour labor at work—of course the middle class is dying!

The globalism cycle is eroding the nation’s economic engine by dramatically reducing the size of the middle class. In 1973, over two-thirds of Americans fell into the middle class, and today, only about half—and in the last few years, evidence suggests another big slice was lost. (1)

As the middle class continues to shrink, the fundamental supports of our consumer based economy will begin to collapse more quickly. We are now seeing a result of such outcrops today, although many economists are falsely blaming the Bush financial collapse for the shortfalls in our current economy. However, the Bush 2008 banking collapse, although a contributor, does not explain decades of erosion to America’s middle class, hence buying power and high paying job declines.

Higher unemployment rates are inevitable and just one of the natural outcrops we should expect to see from here on out as globalism supplants the US worker and/or erodes their wages (wage devaluation). Our current 9.5% national unemployment rate is likely about as low as we should see this rate over the next few decades, albeit we should see minor spurts of economic growth that should be followed by sharp declines as the economic engine clanks along towards its inevitable death, occasionally trying to regain lost ground.

Yet as the market continues to constrict, we will kill off more of our jobs and our middle class in an accelerated pace. And we are seeing that acceleration begin to take hold now.

• Today, about 1% of all Americans hold 83% of all stocks.
• And 50% of all income earners own less than 1% of the nation’s total wealth.
• Between 2001 and 2007, the top 1% reaped 66% of all income growth.
• Shockingly, although housing prices have risen tremendously, only the top 5% of households have been able to earn enough additional income to keep up.
• Banks now have a higher ownership or net worth rates than all Americans combined when it comes to residential housing—the first time in US history.
• About 40% of all Americans now work in the low paying service sectors.
• And 21% of all children in the US now live below the poverty line.
• Amazingly, 61% of Americans “always or usually” live hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck (dramatically up from just 43% in 2007). (2)

Contraband Labor Impacts
An estimated 8.5 million jobs, mostly high paying, are currently being consumed by contraband labor (illegal aliens) while over 23 million Americans are either out of work or forced to work part-time because jobs are not available. (3) Contraband labor is proven to devalue wages for all workers because illegal labor will work for less, thus employers use the lower wages as an excuse to lower legal worker’s pay rates. Not only does contraband labor displace middle class workers, but it also forces those displaced workers to impact taxpayer funded social systems (i.e. unemployment extensions, welfare, food stamps, etc.). As social service support impacts increase, so, too, does the need for government funding to pay for such services, which in turn results in either higher taxes or budget deficits and debt—both of which deepen the harmful effects on the job market and middle class by restricting the amount of money available in the market for both consumers and businesses.

Globalism’s and Inflation’s Big Picture Impacts
In 2007, median household income was $50,233 annually and in 1967 it was $38,771 (a 77% increase over 30 years). (4) Yet combined yearly inflation over that same period was 515%, which means consumer buying power should have dramatically declined. However, this was off set largely by Americans buying lower cost imported goods (often made by foreigners earning less than $1 hour). Thus buying power was actually able to sustain itself during the transition stage from a healthy US-based domestic economy to a globalist importing and off shoring or outsourcing economy as wages declined in relation to inflation. Saving the day was the fact that the cost of non-staple products (and some staple products) also declined markedly so workers-turned-consumers felt no major pain.

In other words, foreign trade deficits (short terms fixes) were used instead of allowing wages to rise appropriately (which is another reason why so many business posted record profits during this timeframe).

The US trade deficit was $711.6 billion for 2007. (7) This means we gave away $711.3 billion of US wealth to foreign workers and businesses rather than supporting our own country and countrymen and middle class engine. This allowed both jobs and wages to further diminish and help create a sort of “consumerism addiction to cheaper foreign imports” that is now difficult to break away from.

National Security Implications
Meanwhile, things like the national debt and year-after-year deficit spending are also harming our economy and middle class through over taxation pressures.

For 2009, the Gross Domestic Product was $14.26 trillion and $13.45 trillion was the official national debt total, according the CIA World Fact Book. (10) Interest payments on the national debt were $383 billion while the government took in $2.1 trillion in total revenues. (9, 11) In other words, 14.7% of our total GDP is being taxed.

Contributing aspects worth examining include the reality that our military budget is about 4 times greater than the average NATO country. (8) According to Donald M. Snow, Professor Emeritus at the University of Alabama, about 58% of all discretionary funding is defense related. (8)

These aspects allow us to better understand some of the root issues with our government spending and areas where we should focus if we want to eventually reduce taxation that negatively impacts both our economy and middle class workers—you can only put so much straw on the camel’s back before it collapses.

One Pentagon report estimated that the interest on the national debt will, by 2012, exceed the total defense budget, steeply impacting America’s ability to defend itself as it shifts more of its revenues toward interest payments. (13)

Summary Analysis
Here is an ironic quote from one of the primary groups responsible for the nation’s harmful globalism policies–a group that should understand the problem well, given that they helped create it…

…all this good-versus-evil rhetoric obscures one key fact: while globalization has benefited many, it has squeezed the middle class, both within societies and in the international system. In today’s global markets, there are only two ways to get ahead. People and countries must be competitive in either the knowledge economy, which rewards skills and institutions that promote cutting-edge technological innovation, or the low-wage economy, which uses widely available technology to do routine tasks at the lowest possible cost. Those who cannot compete in either include not only the erstwhile industrial middle class in wealthy nations, but also most countries in the middle of the worldwide distribution of income, notably in Latin America and eastern and central Europe. –Council On Foreign Relations (12)

Since World War II’s end, the middle class have enjoyed a steep rise due to America opening up of trade and consumerism in other countries, but many of those same countries are now America’s primary competitors, thus our nation’s economic model must be adjusted accordingly. Ironically, our salvation comes by doing precisely the opposite—focusing on serving Americans and restricting outside trade and labor access and usage (like through highly restrictive tax penalty schemes).

Although other aspects will exert themselves, the pressures of globalism will continue to drive up trade deficits while low cost imports will erode middle class opportunities, hence shrink consumer markets.

The market will soon begin to free fall as less jobs become available to America’s middle class resulting in their mighty economic engine faltering more and more. As the cycle continues, it will force government revenues downward and increase deficits and debt interests costs needed to support them while lawmakers continue to avoid cost cuts as policy. In turn government will mistakenly try to raise taxes and thus accelerate the downward decline of the economy. This is because lawmakers have failed to understand or appropriately value and protect the nation’s middle class and its economic engine.

In short, the global economy was able to survive off the rich middle class consumer fuel that ran the American powerhouse, but the very aspects of free trade itself consumed the middle class worker and thus killed the consumer engine it depended on.

The new American economy will be much smaller, likely closer to the $2 to $4 trillion level once the dust of globalism settles and the dollar finally collapses. And in so doing, the military might of the Superpower state will also fall, no longer able to generate the revenues needed to sustain it–Americans will be vulnerable to every kind of foreign threat.

Today, we are seeing the great middle class engine die before our very eyes. Some do not recognize it for what it is, some have self-serving approaches to denying it, still others are convinced of fool’s ploys. What we are left with is the sad reality that our past and current trends in the halls of power have shown us that this problem is insurmountable politically, for self-interests rule over national interests in the Belt Way and tough decisions are rarely forthcoming.

Congress and all administrations going back the end of the Regan era are to blame for their embrace and forwarding of run-away globalism, and they have taken America down a road from which is it likely never going to recover.

America will soon be a two class country like most of Latin America—rich or poor classes only, subject to massive levels of government fraud, corruption, and tyrannical oppressions. And this will likely be accelerated soon by the massive increases to our national debt which will work to undermine trust in the US dollar and thus ensure its total collapse, forcing America to walk away from its debt obligations—thus destroying its world reputation and trust. The end of an international reserve currency—the American dollar—is upon us and soon hyper-inflation will find its home in America to help finish off what remains of our dying middle class.

America suffers from major fundamental flaws in its economic system that can only be fixed with sustained, long term solutions and a national will that demands we act quickly to save the patient before it dies. And to save America, ironically, the focus needs to be on saving the middle class worker and not on businesses or helping foreigners or transnationals but on reigning in globalism. All wise decisions will have to be made around the US worker and their needs to re-enter or sustain a middle class living—only then will appropriate healing in America’s economy and national security begin—for the nation’s security is dependant upon a strong economic engine able to pay taxes and consume equal to the needs of the nation and its interests.

Yes, America could have prevented this and she may still be saved, but the repairs needed are so drastic they are assured never to take place in time, under the pressures of political weakness rampant in our leadership. Middle class voters have but one remote chance—they might affect salivation at the hand of voting out all incumbents—all manner of the “same old thinking” that has gotten America here in the first place. For the enemy is ourselves—we are the government we elect—and we will survive or fall with our collective choice–and for the last three decades, we have not chosen wisely so why should we expect to start now!

Note
I have devised a system that protects the world economy and re-grows the US economy and middle class at the same time, however, it will take an entire book to detail and describe it—if you are a publisher, you might want to contact me to see if you have any interest in getting this book out. I have no intentions of writing it unless it’s first sold.

Is John McCain A Traitor?

Posted on | July 24, 2010 | No Comments

Political Commentary By Xelan Bonn (July 24, 2010) www.xelanbonn.com

For years, Arizona’s John Mc Cain (R) has been a stalwart in the US Senate, someone who could get things done that made sense for the people of Arizona and America but in 2007 the man lost his support across the country when citizens discovered he was a bold face liar and traitor to his country. Since then, the overwhelming majority of Americans have stood against him.

Mc Cain has always claimed to be a stanch patriot, a man who sacrificed much for his country and indeed, his military service record supports that. However, history is replete with those in the US military who later turned on their own government and people, and John McCain is one of them—now having joined the ranks with history’s Benedict Arnold, Army Major Malik Hasan, George Trofimoff, John Anthony Walker, and Jonathan Pollard to name but a few. (1)

In 2007, McCain did an about face and supported “foreign invasion” of US soil (in an affront on Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution) and forwarded the “aiding and abetting of declared enemies”, such as Al Qaeda and Hezbollah. He did this when he partnered with co-conspirator Ted Kennedy under the guise of forwarding an multi-trillion dollar amnesty for millions of foreigners on US soil criminally—thousands of which the US government, Kennedy, and McCain knew to be potential or actual terrorists—killers who would benefit from an amnesty—foreigners the government could not and would not be able to perform crucial background checks on. In fact, McCain tried to help thousands of potential and actual terrorists to become legalized citizens, free to roam the US undetected and plot their deadly harms on men, women, and children.

Today, we know that Hezbollah is now working with at least one of Mexico’s drug cartels to help bring in foreign terrorists agents to US soil through the Mexican border (and likely already has done so many times). (2) In 2006, Congress was aware of a strong border-illegal alien-terrorist threat connection and reported it to all members, which ensured McCain and Kennedy were well aware of the threats and benefits amnesty would have for terrorists—instead they used their position’s of power in the Senate to commit an act of attempted treason and to forwarded “aid” to a declared enemy—and to date, the FBI has refused to bring McCain up on charges because it feels the issue is one of politics and not one for the courts to decide. (3)

Since when did treason not have anything to do with politics!

Of course, there are other aspects to the amnesty attempt that were never revealed in the press. For example, that McCain wanted to amnesty over 240,000 sex offenders who were also known to be on US soil illegally. (4) When the agenda is treason, the dropping or depleting of US national security to aid a foreign enemy, then such things as aiding US citizen children to be raped and molested by foreigners who are not suppose to be in this country comes secondary. Whether McCain saw it as a bonus or a misfortune of war is not known.

What is at issue here is that McCain has turned on the American people once and has proven he is no longer someone who holds and supports rule-of-law and the safety and security of the American people at heart. If he is not a legal traitor, then certainly he is a moral and ethical traitor to the nation.

McCain has never changed his position on supporting amnesty for millions of illegal aliens and foreign enemies and operatives. Yes, he does outwardly claim to support tighter security on the border, but it is simply seen by him as a means by which to forward his bigger agenda—amnesty!

The fact McCain now has to out spend his opponents by over 10 to 1 in order to buy votes is proof positive that not only has he fallen from grace, but that he will do anything to stay in power and do as much damage as he can to the United States of America and American people. (5) If the people of Arizona re-elected him, it will be their disgrace this time, not his.

[His reaction to this article of outrage and indignity is normal, given that his true face has been exposed for what it is. There is never any excuse for supporting the break-down of the rule-of-law, the break down of our national security, the deliberate undermining of America and Americans even if done under the disguise of trying to be humane. The fact is, there are thousands of potential terrorists in the US illegally and amnesty aids and abets them all---and if just one is a Congressionally declared enemy of the United States, such as Hezbollah or al Qaeda, then amnesty equals treason---period---and any attempt at it is "attempted treason."

I did not create the law or the facts, I just report on them, no matter how outrageous or sensational. Do the research yourself and open you own eyes before casting stones. People like McCain must be culled from our houses of power if we are ever to clean up the Washington swamp.]

New Bill Solves Illegal Immigration – Reduces Unemployment 50%

Posted on | July 21, 2010 | No Comments

By Xelan Bonn (July 21, 2010) www.xelanbonn.com

(However, you may copy up to three paragraphs of any story and then provide a link back to this website for the reader to read the remainder of the article without being in copyright violation and subject to costly legal action).

Most Americans are unaware that illegal immigration is costing US citizens and legal immigrants an estimated 8.5 million jobs—most high paying. However, two Senators are quietly working on putting Americans back to work by sending contraband labor where it belongs, off US soil.

Senators Jeff Sessions (R) and Jon Kyl (R) are refusing comment that they have a bill proposal that will permanently end illegal immigration and put millions of Americans back to work in less than a year. (1)

Sources say a bill proposal of such magnitude would likely have to come after the elections, once Republicans either retake the House or Senate, or both. (1)

The draft would make it a felony to be on US soil unlawfully, either by visa overstay or border trespass, says the consulting group that authored the initial version. (1) A short term moratorium on enforcement of immigration laws and a temporary amnesty from prosecution is designed to help protect families from being separated while also allowing them to return home safely without threat of being detained or arrested. Violators caught in the US unlawfully after the temporary moratorium and amnesty expires would automatically be barred for life from participation in any US immigration or worker programs, as well as subject to full prosecution for all immigration related crimes.

The primary motivation behind the bill is to put Americans and legal immigrants back to work and to end the cycle of contraband labor in the US. (1)

According to research, an estimated 70% of all illegal immigrants have committed an average of two crimes, one of which is typically a felony. (5) The crimes are often related to document fraud, forgery, identity theft, and other similar crimes centered in the illegal immigration community and around the objective of gaining unlawful employment. The bill also seeks to address the Black market crime industry surrounding illegal immigration and contraband labor, which has become a multibillion dollar industry ill-effecting taxpayers. (5)

Proponents point out that the Republican Party, founded by Abraham Lincoln, originally based itself on seeking an end to contraband or slave labor in the US and see this bill as being highly consistent with the party’s roots and sense of fairness and justice for all—once again, predominately helping Blacks (and minorities) to rise up through ending harmful and unjust practices that reward criminal behavior.

Those expected to benefit the most from such a bill enactment would be Blacks, followed by Hispanics, who hold the highest unemployment rates.

The June unemployment rate was 9.5% with over 14.6 million Americans out of work—45.5% long-term unemployed. (2) Blacks held 15.4% unemployment rate while Hispanics 12.4%, Whites 8.6%, and Asians 7.7%. (2)

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics there are about 154 million US workers with 14.6 million unemployed. A cross calculation from multiple sources indicates about 8.5 million contraband workers are criminally employed in the US. (3) Research has also proven that in each and every work sector in the US, including home services and agriculture, US citizens and legal immigrants are currently the majority workforce. Thus there are no jobs currently held by contraband labor that legal labor will not do. (3)

In fact, most of the jobs held by contraband labor are in the high paying sectors. (3)

Therefore, should the US successfully remove contraband labor from the market, such jobs will likely be filled by both US citizens and legal immigrant labor, according to current research findings. (3)

Without creating any new jobs, the national unemployment rate could fall between 3.9% and 5.9% once the 8-12 month program is completed. (3)

Major benefits also include the removal of over 8 million US citizens and legal immigrants from both unemployment insurance and / or state welfare or assistance programs. (3) States and the federal government are expected to save over $100 billion on this aspect alone, given the administration’s trend of adding unemployment insurance monies to the system (and national debt).

Additionally, an estimated $3-400 billion per year in taxpayer savings is calculated by removing the negative cost impacts to local, state, and federal government due to illegal immigration or contraband labor. (3)

While the proposal would permanently end illegal immigration and contraband labor, it does not deal with the more complicated issues of legal immigration and border security but instead only focuses on putting Americans back to work.

The innovative proposal appears to be winning over many hard line pundits and is haled by anti illegal immigration groups for offering a safe, humane, family friendly solution that eliminates both a costly “amnesty” and “mass round ups”.

Skeptics are concerned the current administration supports high unemployment and strictly wants to secure a massive amnesty rather than solve some of the nation’s hardest problems. They believe the Dem Party is steadfast on pushing through a costly amnesty toward securing millions of new voters—illegal immigrants, once legalized, tend to register Democrat about 5 to 1.

Pundits say an amnesty will effectively create a single party system in America for decades to come—cause for worry given that single party government, they say, gave us the Bush Republicans and now the Obama Democrats—both of which have acted arrogantly out of control in denying both common sense and the will and need of voters.

Over 80% of those polled (non-scientifically, across party lines) say they would support such a bill but also say such a proposal has little hope unless the Dem Party can be removed from power in either the Senate or House come fall elections. (1)

There is also worry that Republicans will also default on their promises to be tough on illegal immigration and contraband labor as well—some point to the fact that some Republicans appear unwilling to come forward prior the elections and begin promoting such a rule-of-law support bill that could put millions of Americans back to work.

Troubling are the allegations that at least one of the major anti-illegal immigration groups appears unwilling to lend Republicans moral support toward forwarding bill embrace and passage and is said to be deliberately keeping its membership in dark. (1)

It should be noted that in the event of a Dem Party driven “comprehensive amnesty”, such an event is estimated to cost US taxpayers (and the national debt) somewhere between $4 and $36 trillion over 30 years, depending on how many illegal aliens are actually amnestied and how many relatives they will be allowed to sponsor into the U.S. post amnesty. (4) The question then is, where will America find all the jobs for them, as well as the infrastructure and resources to sustain such a jump in population and its impacts on government funded services?

To date, nobody knows the exact number of illegal aliens in the US and some claim the actual number could be double or even triple current estimates. This reality makes the proposed approach even more welcomed and fiscally prudent, say proponents, given that there will be no increase in financial impacts as there would be with an amnesty that will likely severely underestimate the number to be amnestied, which will negatively impact all budget forcasting / costs.

Bulletproofing The Tea Party: Expert Analysis And Advice

Posted on | July 19, 2010 | No Comments

By Xelan Bonn (July 19, 2010) www.xelanbonn.com

Recent NAACP attacks of the Tea Party movement as well as attacks on controversial Tea Party candidates have signaled a major turning point in this grass roots phenomenon, as well as exposed some of its strengths and weakness. If left unchecked or inappropriately handled, the entire Tea Party movement could actually be irreversibly damaged and marginalized.

As the Tea Party movement has grown, hundreds of individual groups have formed and each have their own unique brand and approach as well as platform on the issues. The overriding consensus appears to be that these groups typically want:

• Constitutional respect restored in government and a return to federalism
• Smaller and much more limited government
• Dramatically less spending in government
• Lower taxes
• The national debt paid down or eliminated
• Government to embrace market-based principals over government based controls
• Basic Rights like the First and Second Amendment left alone (e.g. no Internet censoring, gun control, etc.)
• Individual rights and freedoms restored (such as an end to the Patriot Act and government take over of healthcare, etc.)
• The nation to protect itself from foreign invasion and uphold the rule-of-law
• Common sense restored to lawmaking and governing
• And essentially government out of their lives as much as possible.
• Or additional aspects or a combination thereof….

These all seem reasonable to most Americans given they come from a large swath of America, whether middle class, poor, rich, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, male or female, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, South, North, West, East. And most people in the Tea Party groups will concur that although they have their fair share of fringe elements that all grass roots groups deal with and must weed out, the overwhelming majority of supporters are respectable citizens with common sense American values and feet planted in solid ground.

Over-all, the Tea Party has an intelligent and respectable platform, but as the movement has grown, it has imposed on oppositional groups to become a power of its own—such groups now feel threatened and the gloves are coming off. And that could eventually spell the downfall of an organized movement and supplant it with one of disunity that eventually leads to ineffectiveness, frustration, anger, then finally violence by some members.

There is much grass roots strength in having hundreds of groups represent the movement because on-the-ground organizational planning and operations are thus de-centralized and the widest latitude of individual group expression can then be maintained; groups can form their individual identities. And if one group falls, the movement does not suffer an entire loss, thus is the strength of decentralization. However, that only works until all groups, once individuals, are lumped together perceptively and branded with one name and one identity by a major oppositional force. For example, instead of fifty groups with fifty names, the opposition calls them collectively the “Tea Partiers” and then brands them all as “racists”. The acts of some then become the acts of all, at least perceptually in the public—which is the goal sought by the opposition toward taking the movement down.

Thus the rules of the game have been shoved into the major league and the Tea Party movement must now adjust or risk being irreversibly damaged and eventually marginalized to the point of ineffectiveness.

As the movement has now become a collective force for change and is growing in political power, it is now in danger of being picked apart simply because of its lack of centralizing authority and ability to execute professionally, with strong purpose and unified voice based on strategic planning and effective crisis management, let alone lacking sound offensive-attack organizing and system mechanisms.

Recently, the Tea Party formed a national federation to try and overcome some of these obstacles, however, the problems were many and the approach as well as execution was highly flawed. The group was not able to properly establish controls and lacked both funding and a strong, well educated and trained management force and operational system, as well as leadership able to apply major league tools and strategies.

Such an approach will continue to plague the movement and progress it toward many more defeats as outside forces move in with stronger and more sustained attacks.

[Note: I dealt with nearly an identical grass roots organizing situation as president of the Patriot Union of America (PUA) so I have very detailed experience with this exact issue (in addition to a formal education and decades of business leadership experience). For example, several major aspects in the anti-illegal immigration grass roots community worked to keep the PUA from forming a powerful grass roots change (umbrella) leadership group, starting with extreme infighting and including such things as oppositional agents working inside many groups to destroy the effort from the inside. Group leaders were not well trained on how to root out such operatives, among a long list of ailments.

In fact, I wrote an entire booklet on what I coined Grass Roots Change Systems (GRCS), which took all previous knowledge on the subject and added modern lessons learned; I had intended to offer the booklet to those who might come later in grass roots America. Fortunately, I realized in time that the knowledge was so powerful that I needed to withhold it from the public in fear it would be used by anti-American grass roots groups against most Americans (such as we are seeing now with some of the socialist platform promoting unions of the AFL/CIO, ACORN and others). However, I can note some basic lessons here for benefit of the Tea Partiers and others…

Learning From Experience
First, it is not useful to create a central organization for the Tea Party movement unless that organization can get its member groups to agree to be formally represented by a national group that can establish a sound platform that most members can agree on.

Next, the issue then becomes, who will be in charge of this national umbrella and how will it be funded, etc.? You must think in terms of building a well oiled machine that both serves the individual groups and also acts as their leader for over-all direction, planning, strategy making and more.

When working in the national majors, it is imperative that major league players be brought in to run key aspects of the organization to ensure top levels of professionalism---it is no place for good hearted grass rooters in this new age of sophistication---while we must love and embrace mom and pop who are the true power by show of their feet in the street, we must also realize that best results call for the best people---highly trained professionals---the approach cannot be one of amateur hour if success is to be assured.

Of course, the whole list of concerns and issues in properly building the organization is very extensive (no time here for all that).

However, the goal of having a centralized, professional, top tier umbrella organization to represent the individual groups (as well as lead them in certain aspects of the movement) and act as the central figurehead is critical to success in modern media wars. It also allows for aspects and approaches that no single, smaller organization can accomplish on its own (generally).

Once a solid national umbrella is formed, it allows for greater synergy, power and resources that can be made available to help all individual groups and their members, and thus the movement gains a much larger chance at achieving major success.

Professional public relations is one of the major tools of a national umbrella. It is the movement's life-blood and soul. To be done right, however, much effort must be placed on educating all groups in the organization as well as planning and preparation. Trained experts should execute at the highest levels to ensure top results; the top tiers must help the lower tiers put out professional outputs and products as well as aid in training and support. Such things as how best to conduct sound, local PR efforts utilizing approved messaging that is consistent with the umbrella policy then becomes a key to success. Other aspects such as recruiting, rally management, documentation, local fund raising, and other aspects must also be supported and aided by the umbrella (and too often this is not the case).

The overriding key for success is professional level preparation—the current national organization for the Tea Party movement does not have it and its personnel do not fully understand how to achieve it---or once achieved, how they might use it much more effectively. We can see this reality by simply monitoring the news media and the results the group is or is not achieving. Such national umbrella failures are dooming the movement as we speak.

The goal for Tea Party groups and supporters right now should not be to worry whether or not the national federation will fail or not, but to prepare for bringing in a new and better system to replace it if it does—one that is properly managed and lead (and that is the tricky part because more often than not, politics instead of sound business management practices, often rule decision making).

When groups like the NAACP attack the Tea Party (instead of joining it and helping it to grow and improve, as well as clean its ranks of the “bad elements”), then it will not be long before a much larger red meat attack ensues by other bigger oppositional groups. Once the opposition smells blood in the water (like they do now) they will intensify their attacks until they have fully marginalized, demoralized, and scattered the movement, rendering in wholly ineffective.

Today, the opposition seeks to ensure that one immediately equates the Tea Party as a group of “racists” and does this by keeping the issuing in front of the public as much as possible (this also serves to keep the media off true debate of the issues, by the way). If these attacks remain largely unattended and the news media is not better handled by the federation, the issue will fester and grow until the public perception turns the allegations into reality and stalls or kills the movement.

The opposition, in this case, hopes to demoralize many members and put fear into others who do not want to be branded with a racist label. Does the opposition truly believe the Tea Party is racist? Doubtful, but the fact remains this is a longstanding ploy used by oppositional groups to marginalize and demoralize members and thus weaken their movement---in short, it works.

Propaganda is a powerful tool and sadly, our mainstream news media knows it and employs it regularly because it feeds off sensationalism, not sound news reporting as in yesteryear. (Research now shows that most top level, so called, "major news outlets" (often owned and controled by transnational corporations) have shifted toward becoming propaganda agencies rather than objective news gathers and reporters. They often fail to offer professionally balanced stories adhering to sound journalism standards---often practicing issue censorship from the outstart by deliberately omitting key balancing aspects of any given news story---journalism has become closer to a marketing business for political party ideology now, which is dangerous to our democracy, given that 7 out of 8 reporters in the US are registered Democrats and most major news companies are no longer own wholly by Americans (as they should be required by law) but by corporations that work across borders and hold no alligiance to the American people, nation or preservation of our democracy---their ancient watch dog status has been cleverly removed from US soil.)

The Tea Party must, therefore, rise above it and handle it professionally and effectively to its benefit. For example, a true professional Tea Party umbrella leader would have ensured the NAACP and the press were spun back into a corner almost immediately when the allegations of racism came out---then used those very same people accusing the movement to show the attacking organization's own faults and weaknesses---in effect, discrediting the attackers and marginalizing their own message.

The NAACP was out of line with its attacks. This could be easily proven by the fact that there are many minority members in the Tea Party, including Blacks---many of whom are respectable speakers at many of the events. And the NAACP, which is suppose to be fighting for Black equality, should be helping the Tea Party, not fighting it, given that it's platform, if enacted by government, would result in much greater opportunities for Blacks, such as in the area of jobs.

A strong Tea Party umbrella leader would have immediately reached out and took key steps to bring the NAACP on board as a Tea Party supporter and turned the tables on the opposition. The Tea Party could have turned a weakness into a strength, but the failures of the national umbrella shown through instead.

Unfortunately, without a strong, centralized command with top leadership and true understanding of grass roots change systems and applications, it will remain difficult for the movement to achieve anything but hit and miss success patterns and will likely never become a formidable grass roots political force.

Fund Raising
Fund raising is the other issue that often plagues grass roots organizations but the Tea Party umbrella could, if formed properly, obtain all the funds it ever needs with relative ease. Again, this requires expertise that appears not be on board the umbrella at this time.

The power to ensure great funding ability does not come from individual groups. It comes from the formation and professional management of a national umbrella and leadership organization.

Once formed, the umbrella is then in a unique position to aid all the individual groups with funding support.

Most small or local grass roots groups suffer from funding shortfalls and sadly believe that the funding shortfalls they experience at that level would be the same for a national umbrella---they are dead wrong. A national umbrella has a unique ability to tap into major funding resources that are not otherwise available to smaller groups. And can also coordinate well oiled national funding raising drives that help both the umbrella and the local organizations.

And once funded, the national group can use its funding to create a variety of tools and services that aid the smaller, local groups and thus defray their out-of-pocket costs. And the umbrella can often times insert funding into smaller, local groups as may be needed.

For example, let's say a local fight hits the national media. The umbrella group can come into the local area, pump in funds and resources, and help the local group prepare and fight more professionally to ensure far greater results. This would never be possible without a well oiled nationa umbrella.

Once the umbrella organization is well funded, it can then better support member groups and their individual supporters overall. Things like redundancies are eliminated and dollars go much farther while results become much stronger.

For example, an information pamphlet can be made once by the national group professionals and given to all local groups to use as they see fit in recruiting, educating, etc.. Such can be done with most paperwork, marketing, PR, or grass roots tools, which gives local groups more time to work on organizing, rallying, recruiting, and educating while also saving their precious funds.

The national umbrella also wins because all member groups now have a consistent message and system across the board that strengthens the entire movement and elevates it professionally in the eyes of both the public and government / business / news / media community.

Public Relations
Once an umbrella is well established, it must then have a full blown PR and media strategy. This is very tricky because it requires experienced leadership that understands how to use grass roots change tools (GRCT) to get the highest return on the dollar and efforts of the organization. Often times, most grass roots groups are lead by those who work in the nonprofit management sector but lack the unique skills and aggressiveness needed to be successful with grass roots change in a politically charged atmosphere---hence results are often mediocre and look closer like corporate-speak rather than grass roots fighting-speak.

A top leader needs to create a mixture of defensive planning and offensive PR attacks. They must be well planned beforehand and made ready to go far in advance of need in order to ensure satisfactory results. This allows the umbrella to react swiftly when timing appears optimum or when trouble comes calling.

Political Action Committee
The Tea Party movement also has the unique ability to leverage its size and success into a true national political party or political action committee (PAC), if it so chooses---and again, this requires expert know-how and careful branding association.

For example, in states like Nevada, some groups in the Tea Party have supported a candidate that appears too radical to gain enough votes from Independents and frustrated Dems in the next election, thus a spoiler candidate may be in the offing. A well organized and funded central Tea Party with an adjunct PAC could lend individual or state groups and candidates the education, resources, and professional tools needed to better forward either their candidate or attack the oppositional candidate to better ensure the Tea Party's success over-all.

The key to the Tea Party’s success is not just one of getting people off their couches and into the game, but one of increasing the level of sophistication and expertise through a well coordinated command structure that utilizes technology, information, policy, platforms, education, and GRCS tools as part of its strategic bag of tricks—and then upping the anti markedly to blow out all possible opposition using highly sophisticated GRCS strategy tools and techniques toward ensuring a series of successes that inevitably lead to total victory.

[As I once told the leaders of the immigration movement—most of whom did not have a strong education or experience background in grass roots or politics. 'Stand as one and make yourself big and many times stronger and effective, because divided you are already conquered.'

I asked them all a simple question, which they eventually answered by not answering (and their movement's failure at the federal level years later---still seen today---proved my point for me)… the question… 'What is more important to you, being in control of your small group and struggling and winning from time to time, or being part of a major national movement and force that can and will change America for the better—gaining, ultimately, the success you and your group desire—by giving up a little of your individual group power to become part of much larger and more powerful piece of history?']

It’s not easy to get people to agree… the key is to find common ground and work your way up from there. The educated must educate, the uneducated must learn, the losers must be taught winning, the winners must relearn humility, and all will achieve greatness together but certainly nothing apart—for the team is everything in grass roots change—real change cannot occur without it!

A good leader leads. A great leader knows when to follow!

Controversial Bill Could Drop Unemployment Below 5%

Posted on | July 18, 2010 | No Comments

By Xelan Bonn (non-partisan, Independent) July 18, 2010 www.xelanbonn.com

Research now shows that America’s unemployment rate could be reduced to 4-6% within as little as 12 months under a new bill proposal now being quietly considered by key Republicans in both houses, including Congressman Duncan Hunter (R) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R) as well as Senators Jeff Sessions (R) and Jon Kyl (R). (1a)

Seeking to re-craft itself as the “real change” party of conservative government that cares, the Republican bill proposal is expected to reap as much as $400 billion annually in taxpayer savings while also solving one of the most contentious and controversial issues in US history—unlawful immigration!

To fully appreciate this jobs proposal we must first examine a few employment realities.

The unemployment rate at the end of June was officially 9.5% (14.6 million persons) nationally, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of that, 6.8 million were long-term unemployed (45.5% of the workforce). The sectors of manufacturering, service, and construction were, and remain, the hardest hit. Involuntary part-time workers still account for 8.6 million of the workforce—these are people who typically cannot find full employment in their normal professions thus take on whatever part time jobs may be available. (1)

Unemployment rate for Blacks is now the highest at 15.4% followed by Hispanics at 12.4% while Whites are 8.6% and Asians the lowest at 7.7%. (1)

Of the estimated 304 million people in the US, there are nearly 154 million legal workers. (1,2) Still, the contraband labor aspect is not an aspect well tracked by the federal government so more research digging is required.

The conservative Heritage Foundation estimated 15 million unlawful immigrants in the US as 2006. (3) Yet the Pew Hispanic Center only estimated a total of 11.9 million undocumented immigrants in the US as of March 2008 (strongly noting the potential for estimate errors). (4) The Government Accounting Office (GAO) calculated that at least 63% of all persons on U.S. soil illegally also work illegally in at least one Congressional study. (5)

If we average the Heritage and Pew estimates, we arrive at 13.5 million unlawful immigrant population in the US. And based on the GAO study, this means at least 8.5 million jobs are thus being consumed by contraband labor.

In the detailed article, “Facts Prove Obama Against US Workers” documented research proved that in each and every work sector where contraband labor was found, US citizens and legal immigrants also worked as the majority workforce, including home services and agriculture. (6) It was also shown that the majority of jobs consumed by contraband labor were actually in many high paying sectors. (6)

Thus if contraband labor were removed from the US market, nearly all such jobs would be consumed by lawful citizen or legal immigrant labor, according to such findings. The minorities most helped would then be Blacks, followed by Hispanics.

This leads to the startling conclusion that by removing contraband labor from the market, unemployment could fall instantly, leaving only about 6.1 million US citizens and legal immigrants unemployed—the new unemployment rate would be adjusted down to about 3.9%.

However, it is fair to assume that not every position would be re-opened up to legitimate labor or that all jobs would be filled immediately (e.g. some jobs could require employer wage increases to attract employees), so it’s not unfair to make an error factor adjustment of as much as 2 full percentage points to cover all contingencies.

Therefore, a total estimated and adjusted unemployment rate of about 5.9% for the nation is thus ensured if contraband labor can be successfully removed from the US market—this means most Americans would be taken off unemployment insurance or state welfare programs and put back to work, thus creating even more savings for taxpayers, states, and the federal government.

The new proposal, crafted by a nonpartisan Independent consulting group (speaking on the conditions of anonymity until the bill is released publicy), also provides a solution to one major component of the immigration issue. It permanently ends illegal immigration. The proposal does not deal with either legal immigration or border security aspects but is expected to dramatically reduce taxpayer costs in those areas as well.

The idea also appears to be winning over many hard line pundits due to its unique approach in providing a safe, humane, family friendly solution that eliminates both a costly “amnesty” and “mass round ups”. It is being haled for offering dignity to both unlawful immigrants and the American people while also permanently solving a decades old problem.

Program costs could reach as high as $6 billion but are expected to be fully offset by dramatic taxpayer savings and benefits.

No word on when the bill proposal will be formally introduced into either house–Republicans may be waiting for the fall elections to see if they can retake at least one House in order to give the bill a fair chance at passage, given the current Dem Party support for comprehensive amnesty (estimated to cost taxpayers and the national debt from $4 to over $10 trillion, if enacted).
