Shocking statistics proving the economic elite have launched a deliberate systemic financial terrorist attack against 99.9% of the population.<\/h3>\n

An all out campaign of corporate and government propaganda has obscured the truth of the blatant reality that economic elite have raped and pillaged a generation of Americans.<\/p>\n

The veil of secrecy that keeps us blinded to our oppressors is disguised beneath obfuscated financial data and blatantly manipulated government statistics.<\/p>\n

The truth of the matter is every single American feels the stress and pain of\u00a0 increasingly burdensome economic hardships on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

While we have been fooled to believe our troubles are isolated the light of truth is revealed from the great dark beyond and the fog that clouds our thoughts begin to clear.<\/p>\n

What was once distorted now becomes obvious, thanks to a very lengthy compilation full of some of the most shocking economic statistics every American should be made aware of.<\/p>\n

Due to the\u00a0 length of the article, I fear many will shy away from it.<\/p>\n

To remedy the problem, I present here an abbreviated version containing the just the meat of the original along with\u00a0 a bit of my own spice here and there.<\/p>\n

However, I fully encourage you to read the full meat and potatoes version because while meat helps us build strong lean muscle it is the potatoes that give us the much needed energy to move those muscles.<\/p>\n

The article is based on excerpts from the book \u201cThe Road Through 2012: Revolution or World War III\u201d written by David DeGraw\u2019s book, the editor and founder of AmpedStatus which will be Released September 28th.<\/p>\n

I begin here with the abstract of the book\u00a0 followed by the stripped down version of the shocking statistics used to prove his case that the middle class is the victim of a deliberate systemic financial terrorist attack by the super elite who have raped and pillage a generation of Americans.<\/p>\n

Abstract :: Welcome to World War III<\/h3>\n

Despite increasing personal financial hardship, most Americans remain unaware of the economic world war currently unfolding. An all-pervasive corporate and government propaganda campaign has effectively obscured this blatant reality. After extensive analysis, it is evident that World War III is a war between the richest one-tenth of one percent<\/em> of the global population and 99.9 percent of humanity<\/strong>. Or, as I have called it, The Economic Elite Vs. The People<\/em>. This war has been a one-sided attack thus far. However, as we have seen throughout the world in recent months, the people are beginning to fight back. The following report is a statistical analysis of the systemic economic attacks against the American people.<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"The American public has sustained intensive economic attacks across broad segments of the population. While the attacks have been increasingly severe in scale over the past four years, they have been implemented with technocratic precision. They have been incrementally applied thus far, successfully keeping the population passive and avoiding any large-scale civilian unrest, while effectively reducing living standards for the majority of the population. As you will see in this report, the 55 million Americans that have been hit the hardest have thus far acquiesced due to temporary financial assistance, such as food stamps and extended unemployment benefits.<\/p>\n

The global Economic Elite have been much more strategic in handling the American public, as they are potentially the greatest threat to their continued consolidation of wealth, resources and power. National populations that are not as powerful, and on the periphery of the Economic Elite\u2019s global empire, have been dealt with in much harsher fashion. In many smaller and less powerful countries the dramatic rise in food prices and costs of living have led to all-out revolt \u2014 Tunisia, Algeria, Albania and Egypt were among the first to rebel. While the contagion of rebellion has rapidly spread throughout Northern Africa and the Middle East, it is also spreading in a decentralized manner throughout most of the world, now threatening popular rebellion throughout Europe. Like the US population, the geographically clustered European nations represent a potentially powerful countervailing force to the Economic Elite\u2019s continued domination.<\/p>\n

Within the United States, the technocratic suppression of the population has been extensive. Increasingly severe economic and governmental policies have systematically eroded civilian wealth, power and rights. Intensive propaganda has effectively distracted, confused, isolated, marginalized and divided the US population. Despite the success of these efforts thus far, given the severe, prolonged, unsustainable and escalating level of economic suffering, outbreaks of civil unrest are inevitable. The US population, if a critical mass is reached, represents the greatest threat to the Economic Elite. In this regard, the American people are their primary adversary.<\/p>\n

In writing this report, I will clearly demonstrate the severity and scale of the deliberate systemic economic attacks against the US population, in hope that we can urgently build a critical mass of aware and engaged citizens.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Economic Devastation<\/h3>\n

Census Bureau data, from 2005 \u2013 2009, average US household wealth declined by 28%. This represents a loss of $27,000 per household.<\/p>\n

Currently, at least 62 million Americans, 20% of US households, have zero or negative net worth.<\/p>\n

Based on government manipulated census data 43.6 million Americans, 14.3% of the population, lived in poverty in 2009.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is how the government manipulates the census data to mask our true economic nightmare.<\/p>\n

\n

The Census Bureau<\/em> poverty rate is a horribly flawed measurement that uses outdated methodology. The Census measures poverty based on costs of living metrics established in 1955 \u2013 56 years ago. They ignore many key factors, such as the increased costs of medical care, child care, education, transportation, and many other basic costs. They also don\u2019t factor geographically-based costs of living. The National Academy of Science<\/em> measure, which gets little if any corporate media coverage, gives a much more accurate account of poverty, as they factor in these vital cost of living variables.<\/p>\n

The most current Census data revealed that 43.6 million Americans, 14.3% of the population, lived in poverty in 2009. While that is a staggering number that represents the highest number of American people to ever<\/em> live in poverty, and a dramatic increase of four million people since 2008, it significantly under-counted the total.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A more accurate assessment of poverty data by National Academy of Science data shows that 52,765,000 Americans, 17.3% of the population, lived in poverty in 2009.<\/p>\n

\n

Last year, in my analysis, extrapolating data from 2008 National Academy of Science<\/em> findings, I estimated that the number of Americans living in poverty in 2009 was at least 52 million. Recently, the National Academy of Science<\/em> released their latest findings, backing up my claim by revealing that 52,765,000 Americans, 17.3% of the population, lived in poverty in 2009.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to the manipulated government census figures, 20% or 15.5 million American children lived in poverty in 2009, which is 20% of all children in the U.S.\u00a0The number of children in poverty increased 28% since 2000, and jumped 10% from 2008 to 2009.<\/p>\n

The more accurate National Academy of Science data showed 18.8 million American children living in poverty in 2009, which is 24%, or nearly one in four.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day<\/em> in America 2,573 babies are born into poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even with the lower Census numbers, Nine major American cities have a poverty rate over 25%.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Based on many key indicators poverty totals have continued to increase<\/em> since 2009.<\/p>\n

Current deficit reduction plans will cut \u201canti-poverty\u201d programs that currently assist tens of millions of Americans.<\/p>\n

Based on Census data estimates is predicted that the new deficit deal will cut the funding for these programs in half<\/a><\/p>\n

The \u201cthe poverty rate will double<\/a> without these programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The total number of Americans living in poverty\u00a0will increase to 80 million using census data estimates.<\/p>\n

The total number of Americans living in poverty will increase to 105 million using the National Academy of Science data.<\/p>\n

Record Breaking Food Insecurity<\/h3>\n

In 2005, 25.7 million<\/a> Americans needed food stamps.<\/p>\n

Today nearly 46 million Americans rely on food stamps<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tent city homeless camps are popping up all over the United States.<\/p>\n

Congress has responded the additional need for food stamps by saying fuck you to the public and cutting the funding<\/a> for the food stamp program.<\/p>\n

The cuts come as 22.5 million additional Americans need food stamps<\/a><\/p>\n

The brings the total number of Americans in need of food assistance to a stunning 68.3 million people.<\/p>\n

Our politicians have more important priorities $16 trillion for secret banker bailouts and trillions more to fund the illegal perpetual wars.<\/p>\n

Record Breaking Unemployment<\/h3>\n

\u201cOfficial\u201d unemployment is at 9%, but only because the government refused to count millions of unemployed as being unemployed. Go figure.<\/p>\n

\n

While the \u201cofficial\u201d unemployment rate hovers around 9%, 14 million people, the government\u2019s numbers are deceptively low once again. The only reason unemployment has stayed below 10% for the past few months is because millions<\/em> of long-term unemployed, and part-time workers who are looking for full-time work, are not included<\/em> in the baseline government unemployment rate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The real number of unemployed is at an all-time record total of 34 million people which puts the unemployment rate is 22.5%.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the total population currently working, has fallen to a 27-year low of 63.9%.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Currently, an all-time record 6.3 million<\/a> people have been unemployed for over six months.<\/p>\n

The average time it takes for a person to find a job has also just hit an all-time high of 40.4 weeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Private-sector job cuts in July surged 60% to a 16-month high<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From December 2007 to present, we have lost 10.6 million<\/a> jobs.<\/p>\n

Since August 2008, state and local governments have cut 577,000<\/a> jobs.<\/p>\n

The new deficit deal will lead to an additional 1.8 million<\/a> job losses.<\/p>\n

60%<\/a> of the jobs created by the $2 trillion stimulus are in low-wage fields.<\/p>\n

Since December 2007 2.8 million<\/a> of the news jobs created have been part-time jobs.<\/p>\n

Over 12 months<\/a>, the National Employment Law Project<\/em> found that well-paying jobs are rapidly decreasing, while low-paying jobs are helping to mask an increasingly dire employment crisis:<\/p>\n
