Not hard to change a few words to reflect the bigger picture. Enjoy....:D
America, U.S.A.. – A few would-be whistleblowers suspected for years that the government in this country was corrupt and that leaders were secretly paying themselves six-figure salaries( and more)
But their attempts to uncover the scandal were stifled at every turn by the government. They claim they were mocked, insulted and intimidated and that their public information requests were shredded or falsified. They were cut off or ignored when they tried to confront leaders.
"Everywhere I went to there were people addressing issues left and right," said Roger Rabbit, a former Neo-con who grew up in America and has been questioning government infringements of liberties regularly since 1992. "They would just blow people off. They would give you a time limit of two minutes to speak, tell you, 'We're working on the agenda, we need to get on with this, and cut you off.'"
America has become a global embarrassment in recent decades since it was revealed that top officials in the, formerly respected, democratic republic were accepting gigantic contributions, including $787,637 a year paid by corporate lobbyists and millions for Representatives that normally meets just once a month. A prosecutor called it "corruption on steroids" last week as eight officials evaded prosecution based on an executive order citing "state secrets."
POTUS lives lavishly. He owns a home in Chicagos South Side that is valued at almost $1 million. He bought adjacent property from a contributor for 105,000 dollars.
When numerous perks like vacation, comprehensive insurance and other benifits such as immunity from common laws were added to his salary, his total compensation package from Americans has yet to be totaled.
The Representatives lived in modest homes, often outside of their districts, but residents say they drove expensive cars and talked of taking overseas vacations to China and elsewhere.
The criminal accusations have made the scandal all the more frustrating to people like Rabbit, who believe they could have uncovered the abuses years ago.
When he publicly confronted the Federal Government more than two years ago about a tip he'd received that POTUS and Representatives of the government had abused and misappropriated taxpayer funds, Rabbit said he all but laughed. He was told by those on the Ron Paul Forums that if he did not believe the government was misappropriating funds in direct contradiction to the Constitution he should access the information himself.
When he tried to do just that, Rabbit says, he was told to file a request under the Freedom of Information Act. When he complied, a government official handed him a redacted copy of his requested records three years later and charged him $10,000 for the copy charges. The report handed him contained many obfuscations and redactions in the interest of "state secrets."
A criminal complaint filed by a recently deceased District Attorney said that the federal government "did steal, remove, secrete, destroy, mutilate, deface, alter and falsify" the documents Rabbit requested.
The Justice Department spokesman Jack Awad contends that POTUS did nothing wrong. While the public may believe that taxation is to high those that elected him thought the cost is worth it. Representatives of the House and Senate maintain that nothing was done illegally.
Awad said that POTUS was able to exploit the country on behalf of himself and others thanks to an "uninvolved electorate."
"They have to really care about their country." Awad said. "This was not the case in this instance."
Aamerican citizens say it's not that simple. It was impossible to penetrate the bureaucracy and corruption, they said.
"The Federal Government, especially the Reserve, was run kind of like a closed corporation," said Ono Mato Poeia, a liberty patriot, "They don't allow any information that was requested or it was either given wrong or you were told, 'You can't receive it.' Or they didn't respond at all."
Investigators say the corruption went well beyond kickbacks. The Federal Government mismanaged more than $13 trillion in tax funds , levied illegal taxes and lent cash to an array of other nations.
Meanwhile, citizens noticed business license fees, property taxes and other charges going up every year .
Rabbit said the status of the bond issuance was an issue he raised repeatedly with Representatives and all told him not to worry.
"They told me. 'I would never be involved in a government if there was any corruption going on,'" he recalled with a laugh.
Most citizens acknowledged they didn't pressure Representatives of the Federal Government as much as they could have, however, because they feared retribution.
"I used to always feel scared when I'd go in to see them. They made me feel like a criminal," said Kludge Douchebag, who runs a small Ramen Noodles shop and who fought with the federal government over rising business license fees and costs associated with putting up a sign.
Ardent Constitutionalist, Gunny Freedom, said a country like America , with a large, hard-working population where one in six people live in poverty, is an easy mark for a crooked government. Many people are too busy working to get involved in in the issues and those who do are easily intimidated or given the run-around.
But he said that seems to be changing in North Carolina. Outrage in the modest state has become so great that people of diverse backgrounds have banded together to protest the abuses. Signs supporting Ron Paul sprouted in yards all around the state, including one at his driveway.
Citizens plan to curb this abuse. Supported by a growing number of activists that plan to sweep elections and oust the corrupt leaders.
The groups acroynym is RPF. Which translates to "we got our eye on you fuckers!" in 'merican.
"Coalitions are very hard to form, there has to be a catalytic event or series of events," said Josh Lowery, "and that is just what you've got in America now," he added.
