25 Signs That America Is A Seething Cesspool Of Filth And Corruption

The American Dream
Tuesday, April 17, 2012

Do you believe that America is a seething cesspool of filth and corruption? If not, you might change your mind after reading this article. Sadly, the truth is that the United States is absolutely corrupt to the core. This is true from the very top of our society all the way to the very bottom.


http://drpinna.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/corruption-11.jpg

The current occupant of the White House will likely go down in history as the most corrupt president in history, and that is really saying something. Almost every single day he adds something new to his list of corrupt deeds. He is a con man that deserves to be impeached for a whole host of reasons, but that will never happen because we have a Congress that is also deeply corrupt. But it is not just our politicians that are corrupt. Even the men that are supposed to be in charge of protecting the president are corrupt. A whole bunch of them were recently discovered sleeping with prostitutes in Colombia. We also find very deep and very pervasive corruption in our financial institutions, in our judicial system, in our police departments and in our religious institutions. It is almost as if nearly the entire nation is saturated with filth and depravity. It is becoming harder and harder to find men and women of integrity, and our young people have very few positive role models to look up to. How long is our society going to be able to continue to function normally if all of this corruption gets even worse?

The following are 25 signs that America is a seething cesspool of filth and corruption….

#1 The men and women of the Secret Service are supposed to be the best of the best. Instead, they have become a national embarrassment. 11 members of the U.S. Secret Service are under investigation for consorting with prostitutesin Colombia. Reportedly, several of the Secret Service agents that hired prostitutes were married.

#2 Our financial institutions are filled with cheats and liars. 2011 and 2012 have been absolutely horrible years for natural disasters in the United States. At a time when homeowners need their insurance companies more than ever, many insurance companies are systematically trying to weasel out of payouts and are trying to shift as much liability over to homeowners as possible. The following is from a recent Reuters article….


Insurance companies are raising rates, cutting coverage, balking at some payouts and generally shifting more expense and liability to homeowners, according to reports from the industry and its critics.

“Insurance companies have significantly and methodically decreased their financial responsibility for weather catastrophes like hurricanes, tornados and floods in recent years,” the Consumer Federation of America said in a statement after studying industry data.

The industry concedes that it is trying to avoid getting trounced by those same punishing weather patterns.

#3 Identity theft for the purpose of stealing tax refunds has reached epidemic proportions in America. The following is one shocking example that made the news recently up in New York….


Authorities say a former manager at a nonprofit Long Island health agency stole the IDs of more than 50 brain injury patients to get their tax refunds.

#4 The filth on television continues to get worse and worse. As WorldNetDaily recently reported, one new HBO series is going way over the line….


HBO’s irreverent mockumentary “Angry Boys” is under fire for combining child actors and phallic humor, including one scene in the series’ 12th episode, where a little girl drinks from a water bottle shaped like a giant, pink penis.

#5 All over the country, violent crime is getting worse. For example, there were 60 percent more homicides in Chicago during the first three months of 2012 than there were during the first three months of 2011.

#6 Some of the violent crimes committed recently in cities such as Chicago appear to be absolutely senseless. The following is one recent example from the Chicago Tribune….


A woman was shot in the face while driving in the Gresham neighborhood on the Far South Side late Wednesday.

The woman, 38, was driving west in the 2000 block of West 84th Street about 11:30 p.m. when a light colored car pulled alongside her and someone inside fired shots, according to police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro.

#7 It isn’t just in the big cities where these kinds of senseless crimes are being committed either. One crime that happened in Tulsa, Oklahoma recently is almost too horrifying to describe. The following is from a recent Daily Mail report….


An 85-year-old woman was sexually assaulted and battered to death by a home invader who also shot her 90-year-old husband in the face with a BB gun.

Nancy and Bob Strait, who had celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in December, were discovered by their daughter at their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.


Both the pensioners were rushed to hospital where Mrs Strait, who was nearly blind, died from her injuries.

#8 The flash mob epidemic that made headlines all over the nation last year is continuing in 2012. For example, several dozen young people recently stormed into a gas station in the Portland, Oregon area and took off with whatever they could carry.

#9 Thieves all over the nation are becoming incredibly bold. Up in New York, thieves recently stole brass plaques and bronze vases from a cemetery.

How desperate and corrupt do you have to be to desecrate the graves of the dead?

#10 These days thieves will steal anything that they can sell easily on the streets. For example, Tide detergent has become extremely popular to steal because it is being used as an alternative form of currency on the streets of many American cities. The following is from a recent article in The Daily….


Theft of Tide detergent has become so rampant that authorities from New York to Oregon are keeping tabs on the soap spree, and some cities are setting up special task forces to stop it. And retailers like CVS are taking special security precautions to lock down the liquid.

One Tide taker in West St. Paul, Minn., made off with $25,000 in the product over 15 months before he was busted last year.

“That was unique that he stole so much soap,” said West St. Paul Police Chief Bud Shaver. “The name brand is [all] Tide. Amazing, huh?”

Tide has become a form of currency on the streets. The retail price is steadily high — roughly $10 to $20 a bottle — and it’s a staple in households across socioeconomic classes.

#11 In Baltimore, a man was recently knocked to the ground, stripped naked and had his car keys, watch, money and cell phone taken. In itself, that is not much of a story. But what made it a story was that instead of helping the man, the crowd of onlookers watching all of this happen laughed hysterically while recording the incident with their cell phone cameras for YouTube.

#12 The number of Americans that are willing to become permanently dependent on the government is absolutely astounding. At this point, there are approximately 67 million Americans that get some form of financial assistance from the federal government.

#13 Government dependence is increasingly being glamorized in popular culture. For example, one nightclub down in Alabama recently held a “Food Stamp Friday” party.

#14 As I have written about previously, employees of the federal government are living the high life at the expense of hard working American taxpayers. In fact, one federal employee recently made an outrageous rap video about it.

#15 Recently, I reported on the “Obama flag” that was flying above a Democratic Party headquarters down in Florida. Well, now another one has been spotted flying above a home in New Jersey. During the 2012 election season will we see American flags that have had the stars replaced with the face of Barack Obama flying over homes and businesses from coast to coast?

#16 In the United States today, the use of sexual humiliation by security officials has become normalized. If you are not convinced of this yet, you should check out this video of a woman sobbing as the TSA touches her private areas as they pat her down.

#17 Sadly, TSA officials have shown over and over that they are deeply corrupt and cannot be trusted. For example, one TSA manager at Dulles International Airport was recently discovered to be running a prostitution ring out of a local hotel room.

#18 According to the U.S. Supreme Court, police in the United States can now strip search you any time that they want. All they need to do is to make up some reason to arrest you. Needless to say, police all over the country are now going to be looking for any reason that they can think of to arrest very attractive women.

#19 In the United States, it has become regular practice for young couples to “live together” before marriage. In fact, in America today more than half of all couples now move in together before they get married. Sadly, the divorce rate for couples that live together first is also significantly higher than for those that do not. At this point, America has thehighest divorce rate on the globe by a wide margin.

#20 The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the world by far. In fact, the United States has a teen pregnancy rate that is more than twice as high as Canada, more than three times as high as France and more than seven times as high as Japan.

#21 Unfortunately, there are dramatic consequences for all of the loose sexuality going on in America. The CDC says that there are approximately 19 million new cases of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia in America every single year.

#22 Most Americans have no idea this is happening, but the truth is that abortion clinics all over the country are sellingaborted baby parts to scientists for medical research. If we keep cheapening human life like this, eventually it will mean next to nothing to us.

#23 According to the results of one recent investigation, an astounding 30 percent of all Internet traffic goes to pornography websites. A different survey found that 25 percent of all employees that have Internet access in the United States visit pornography websites while they are at work.

#24 There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. This is especially true when it comes to notifying military wives that their husbands are dead. Sadly, some women are now being notified about the deaths of their husbands in the militarythrough Facebook.

#25 Our politicians are stealing 150 million dollars an hour from future generations so that we can live more comfortably right now. The American people participate in this theft by voting these politicians back into office over and over again. The crime that we are committing against future generations is almost too horrible for words.

So what is causing all of this filth and corruption?

Why has America become such a cesspool?

Why?
First, I have never seen $10 to $20 dollar bottles of Tide. That would have to be a big damn bottle of laundry detergent. So, I would have to doubt that average shoplifters are going to go through the risk of carrying gallons of Tide out of a store when there are higher demand items such as deodorant and colognes etc. I would have to assume the $25,000 dollars worth of Tide came from stealing a truckload of it. And while it is true that some smaller stores will buy stolen merchandise at a discount rate I would hardly consider it a form of currency. There are just better examples of corruption in America. JMO.

EDIT: Such as #25 :)

Maybe not higher demand. But they are stolen much more often and resold than laundry detergent. It is easily concealable and untraceable. Believe it or not, having worked at a couple retail chains in the area I can tell you we lost hundreds upon hundreds of dollars of cologne and deodorants. We eventually had to move the entire rack next to the check out lane and place security tags on every bottle. The other store I worked for actually installed locking glass cases to curtail the everyday thefts. Can't really recall a Tide bandit though.

Your experience isn't necessarily representative of prevailing socioeconomic trends. How do you know they are stolen and sold more often than laundry detergent? What's your source on that?

Common sense is my source. Why try to leave with one or two 8 dollar gallons of detergent when you could steal 20 cans of AXE for example in the same amount of space? Not plausable. Let alone an outbreak as suggested.

20 cans of axe are a little harder to keep concealed and handle without significant difficulty than just grabbing one bottle of laundry detergent.

ETA: Also, "space" isn't a very reliable variable since it is very easy to attain, and it's not like people are going to be stealing boatloads of anything from a convenience store. It's not really practical to analyze how much cologne you can fit into a car or a suitcase versus how much Tide when you're probably never going to even attempt to steal that much cologne.

I've lived in 4 states in the past 4 years. I have to side with kcchiefs on this. People steal cologne and deodorant all the time. Among other things like dvd's and micro sd cards.

As for the Tide theft, I would assume it would be off the back of the truck. The employees stealing from the company is a huge problem at WalMart. One of the main thefts is the people unloading the trucks setting items aside and having someone come up and get them.

True. I am just pointing out the number one items taken from the stores I've worked were spray deodorants and BIC lighters. The Tide theft outbreak is exaggerated at best.

My mom had to call me today to tell me a story dealing with filth and corruption firsthand.

Some guy who is affiliated with Missouri Government (not sure if lobbyist or representative/senator, or staff member) was buying a bunch of booze today at a local grocery store. He was requesting they be bagged in paper because he "didn't want the children to see" him bringing it into the Capitol. Who knows who was actually paying for the booze... My mom heard him and kind of laughed to herself, saying to the guy "what would Ron Paul think of this?" The guy looked at her and said loudly with many people in earshot..."oh fuck him!" Everyone just looked at the guy like he was a moron (I'm guessing he is).

I still have a 3/4 full 100 oz. jug in the laundry room,it was $13+,I can't afford that,I'm retired.
I have an unopened 117 oz. jug of something called Sun that cost $4+ at the same store,I hope it works.
Maybe the folks stealing the cologne and deodorant use Sun detergent.

Yes, reason is my reason. And the fact they don't lock up laundry detergent is a clue of sorts. Where is your evidence?

They dont lock it up, and when you walk out with it, it usually isnt in a bag, which makes it a very easy target as compared to cologne. If you walk out with a gallon of detergent in your hands, bought and paid for otehr stuff, the minimum wage employees usually dont give a shit enough to actually check your receipt to see if you paid for the stuff or not. If they find you with cologne in your hand and no bag, they will have more reason to immediately question you. Thus, I blame the lack of the stuff being bagged that created the opportunity for theft, which led to everything else.

I'd say kcchiefs6465 is at least a witness and has made more convincing arguments than anyone to the contrary. One wrong thing in an article doesn't make the whole article useless though. Not to me.

That said, I bet Tide as a currency will hold its value better than dollars.

You are correct! When you buy things like liquid laundry detergent, or a gallon of milk, or a sack of potatoes they are not bagged. Most stores have a sticker they put on them but when your being checked out by a slacked jaw high school student, they barely have enough energy to get the sticker put on the item. :rolleyes: I always make sure I have the receipt handy just in case some front end manager doesn't see the sticker on my item. The only place I was ever harassed was Wal-Marx-- even with a sticker on my bag of potatoes!

I really didn't mean to turn this into a shoplifting discussion as many other points made by the article are far more important, however, here is some food for thought.

The Top 10 Most Shoplifted Items, according to AdWeek and the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (NASP) are:
Expensive cuts of meat
Expensive bottles of alcohol
Electric items including toothbrushes and DIY tools
Electronic gadgets such as video games, smartphones and laptops
Razor blades, particularly Gillette Mach 4
Axe brand deodorants and body washes
Designer clothing including Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger
Let's Rock Elmo toy
Perfumes including Chanel No. 5
Trainers by Nike and Addidas

One in every 11 people to walk into a shop will leave the store with at least one item that wasn't paid for, NASP says, representing 1.45 percent of total sales, meaning U.S. retailers are likely to lose $119 billion to shoplifters this year.

In addition, says NASP, 35 percent of thefts are undertaken with the help of a corrupt employee.

Because the list you posted are the newest and latest craze. You got to have designer clothing by Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. You must get Axe brand deodorants because they make a person sexy. Chanel No. 5 makes you as sexy as _______________ (insert the latest Hollywood sex symbol). :rolleyes:

It's not like people are stealing to survive.

As far as a store owner protecting their merchandise, sure if they want to put surveillance cameras that are not tied into some security databank I have no problem with that. But most of them are tied into the security grid these days. Wal-Marx is a good example and one of the reasons why I do not patron that establishment.

As to item #1, who cares if SS agents patronize prostitutes on their own time with their own coin? Not me. And if they are married, that is an issue between the individual agent and his wife. It isn't my problem and it doesn't support the proposition that the nation is a seething cesspool of corruption.

#2. Insurance is a business, not a social services agency. If an insurance company wants to write policies that exclude natural disaster damage or limiit benefits in some other way, that is their right to do so. If you don't like it, buy another insurance product. There are LOTS of insurance carriers out there. You can even get custom insurance for ANY risk from underwriters like Lloyds. But don't be surprised if certain kinds of risk are so extreme that nobody will cover them in a CGL policy. That's business. If you want to live in a flood zone, expect to pay a wad for insurance that covers flood damage. Or go uncovered. But don't bitch about it when your house gets flooded. Build on stilts.

Insurance is a risk pooling business. A risk pool needs to very carefully define and manage the risks it covers or it will go broke. And before you go into the "big profit, big corporate" harangue, let me point out that many insurance companies are non-profit "mutual" companies. I have my home and auto insurance with just such a mutual company. In any given year, if company proceeds from premiums and investments exceed claims paid to members, the excess is divided evenly and the members get a rebate check. I get one almost every year. I WANT my insurance company to exclude excess risks. I WANT my insurance company to fight fraudulent claims. Paying for other people's risky behavior and cheating costs me money.

I stopped reading after #2. Lol.

You know when you have a bad economy when Tide Laundry detergent has gone to blackmarket!

Tide is extremely bad for you anyways. I make my own. I haven't used Tide in years!

For liquid laundry detergent:

Ingredients

1/3 Bar of Fels Naptha laundry Bar Soap (grated)
1/2 Cup of 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster
1/2 Cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1 Rural King 5 Gallon Bucket with lid



Process

Mix Grated Fels Naptha Soap with 6 cups of water in sauce pan, heat until soap melts.
Add washing Soda and Borax to Sauce Pan Mix. Mix Well until Washing Soda and Borax Dissolve
Pour 4 Cups of Hot Water into Bucket and add mixture from sauce pan.
Add another 1 gallon 6 cups of water and stir well.
Allow 24 hours for soap to gel.

Use 1/2 a cup of soap per load, recipe produces approximately 50 loads

We recommend using a dedicated sauce pan for this recipe. Keep soap and ingredients out of reach of children and keep bucket sealed when soap is not in use. A double recipe may be produced with the Rural King 5 gallon Bucket.
http://www.ruralking.com/soap/

The dry laundry detergent:

1 box of Borax
1 box of washing soda
1 family sized box of baking soda
1 bar of fels naptha soap
Laundry Storage Container
Yard stick
5 Gallon Bucket

Directions:

Grate fels naptha soap using a cheese grater or your food processor. Skip the ivory soap, it doesn’t work as well, ivory soap is a gentle soap for the body, fels naptha is a laundry stain soap.
Combine all boxes of the above into the 5 gallon bucket, dump in grated soap and stir with yard stick until mixed thoroughly.
Pour mixed detergent into your laundry storage container.



Easy as that!! No need to heat, cook, or add water.. The best thing about all this is I have found a coffee scope at Walmart for 1.18 and it’s the perfect amount of laundry soap for a large load. It’s roughly 2 tablespoons.

The total cost of the laundry supplies is:

Borax: $3.38

Washing Soda: $3.24

Baking Soda: $2.16

Fels Naptha Soap: $0.97

Total Cost: $9.75

(walmart prices)

There is easily well over 300 loads of laundry but until I have finished the entire container I can only estimate this laundry soap to costing roughly 0.03 to 0.04 cents per load of laundry.

#5 makes me laugh !!!
But hey ... At least someone is documenting black on black violence, in a city where it is almost impossible to own/carry a gun.

# 6 through 11 just solidify my perspective that we have criminals within our society, and they have no concern for human life.

These articles are always so laughably agenda-based, it's like one big basket of every fallacy you could imagine.



#12 The number of Americans that are willing to become permanently dependent on the government is absolutely astounding. At this point, there are approximately 67 million Americans that get some form of financial assistance from the federal government.

Case in point: Red herring. The second statement does not support the first. (Hypothetically) all 67 million people getting financial assistance from the gov't could not be willing to become permanently dependent on them.

I remain unconvinced many of that 67 million could not become willing to be permanently dependant , but , hey , that is just me ...

#25 Our politicians are stealing 150 million dollars an hour from future generations so that we can live more comfortably right now. The American people participate in this theft by voting these politicians back into office over and over again. The crime that we are committing against future generations is almost too horrible for words.


Oh, I'm SURE the author would support cutting military expenditure.
