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

Walter Burien Jr. worked as a Wall Street Commodity Trading Advisor
(CTA) for fourteen years, but now resides in Arizona. According to Mr.
Burien, every state, county, school district, government run
enterprise operation, and major metropolitan city is keeping two sets
of books. One set, the Budget report, is commonly available and tracks
each governmental entity's tax revenue and where they spend that tax
revenue. The Budget is the financial record that's promoted to the public
and used by politicians to justify new governmental services and higher
taxes.
However, there is a second or far superlative book, called the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, or CAFR, which is virtually unknown
to the public but contains the real record of total governmental gross
income. According to Mr. Burien, although the Budget
gives an accurate account of government use of tax revenue, only
the CAFR gives an accurate account of government's true gross income.
For example, while a particular state budget might report receiving $20
billion in taxes collected (just barely enough to sustain its $20 billion
in expenditures) - the CAFR might reveal the state's real income is
in the neighborhood of $60 billion - three times as much as reported
on the budget. If these allegations
are accurate, with public intervention to restructure a government body, the
particular state, county, or city could stop charging all the taxes we are familiar
with and, not only survive but, maintain without taxation the amount of
reported government services or give every citizen a huge cash rebate.
The implications are mind-boggling. The CAFRs reveal that the world is
so different from what we are led to believe, so much more corrupt than
suspected, that we are left with three choices, either; 1) government
agrees to end the deception and stop taxing us, or 2) the American people
agree to accept their status as slaves, or 3) both sides refuse to agree
and precipitate a shooting revolution. The issue is that big.
Are Mr. Burien's allegations correct? How could any governmental entity
dare to routinely overcharge its citizens by 200%, underreport its income by
2/3rds, and knowingly press for higher taxes based on an inaccurate budget?
Worse, how could such a fraudulent system become widespread among all states,
counties, cities and the Federal Government?
Due to the money involved! It is that simple.
Those who have made efforts to verify Burien's research indicate that
the conclusions drawn by Burien are probably correct.
For instance: The State of Alaska and the city of Anchorage
both use Budget/CAFR
accounting systems that conceal a breathtaking difference in reported
revenue. Another researcher in Wyoming claims that a comparison of his
state's budget and CAFR also support Mr. Burien's arguments. A retired
federal auditor after talking with Mr. Burien put up a website http://CAFRMan.com that
lists CAFR surplus reviews of most state governments. In every case,
there are two sets of books and the gross income reported on the budget
report is millions or billions of dollars less than is reported on the
CAFR.
These verifications of Burien's research and findings lend credence to
his allegations.
What follows is an amalgam of statements or implications raised by Mr.
Burien in various interviews.
Mr. Burien reports first discovering the CAFR report in New
Jersey in 1989, when he helped start and
incorporated a New Jersey tax protest group called "Hands across New Jersey." While
involved with that group, Mr. Burien read in the state's Annual Budget that the
total cost of all public services was $17 billion and the "net available" (the
money on hand to pay all bills) was $24.6 billion. But then he asked
himself the first question the IRS asks in any audit: "What are the gross
receipts?" He added the figures from various state government sources and
came up with about $44 billion and began to wonder how the state could have $17
billion in expenditures with $24.6 billion in cash on hand shown on the Budget
report, and at least $44 billion annual income? The numbers didn't add up, so
he began to dig deeper.
Because his father had been the Director of Personnel for the State Treasury
for four years, Mr. Burien understood how to get around in the various
government departments. The state Director of the Budget Richard Kievey
was on vacation, so Mr. Burien called one of his lowest level assistants
and said, "I m working
on a report for Richard [the vacationing Budget Director] and I need all the
figures on the autonomous agency accounts, interest accounts, investment
accounts." The assistant said, "Oh, you want the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR)." This was the first time Burien had heard of the
CAFR but he said, "Yes, I need it" and the assistant mailed
it to him.
The 1989 CAFR showed that New Jersey had liquid investment funds (cash
equivalent) of $188 billion of which; common stocks worth $70 billion, $10 billion
in loans made by the state due from public and private corporations, and $14
billion in insurance company equity participation. The little state of New
Jersey, which admitted to less than $17 billion in annual income
on its budget, reported $188 billion in cash, stocks, loans and equity participation
on its CAFR. According to Mr. Burien, "On that day, I learned
the definition of syndicated organized crime." Keep in mind that most of
the revenue and investments from the 21 counties, hundreds of cities, municipalities,
school districts, state financial authorities, many other local government owned
pension funds, and 69 enterprise authorities, all of which put out their
own CAFR or Combined Financial Statement are not in most part inclusive
with the state's revenue and investments. Totals from all here when looking
at composite New Jersey government figures
are well in excess of 1.8 Trillion dollars. Divide that
figure by the population of New Jersey to see the per capita share
of the wealth.
So why are the taxes in New Jersey some of the highest in the country?
The answered is; Power corrupts, absolute Power corrupts absolutely.
Mr. Burien keeps emphasizing to the public that they, the public, left
the VAULT door open, and those sharp little crackers said thank you very
much. The problem is that most (99%) of the public responds with, Vault,
what vault. With this well entrenched attitude of naivety by the public
in place, those sharp little crackers now have even stopped
saying thank you very much as they plunder the wealth in their unabated
efforts towards the building of their own empires within the corporate
structure of Composite Government.
The scam worked something like this: Anything that was a cost or expense
for public services (the traditional side of the Annual Service Budget, such
as the Department of Transportation, health and welfare, etc.) was reported on
the Budget where public taxes primarily paid 100% of the bill for those services.
That was $17 billion.
However, any governmental agency that was a profit center (the Port Authority
for New Jersey, the New Jersey Turnpike,
and investment accounts, etc.) that generated no tax revenue was "restricted
by statute from being reported in and benefiting the Annual Budget. Why? Because
the state legislature passed laws to prevent reporting the income from investment
or venture profit centers on the Budget. Instead, income from these profit centers
was disclosed only on the CAFR or other financial reports referenced in
the notes of the CAFR.
But that disclosure was not immediately apparent. For example, when Mr.
Burien looked for New Jersey's 1989 "gross cash receipts" in the CAFR,
he found the figure buried on page 174, under the "Waste Water Treatment
Trust Fund." It showed the amount of the total cash receipts (Cash
Additions) for 1989 from all state agencies, departments, and sources
was $83.799 billion. In other words, New Jersey State Government
from all sources was grossing $84 billion to provide $17 billion in taxation
applied public services as seen in the openly represented Annual Service Budget. New
Jersey citizens were paying $5 for every $1 in services they
received, and the state was pocketing (utilizing) the other $4 as "profit" for
other purposes.
When breaking down the true revenue income, the most important revelation
was that only one third of the states income came from taxes, fines and
fees. Two thirds of state government’s income came from Other
Sources of investment return and enterprise operations with no direct
tie to the publicly known budget. When looking at the openly disclosed
Budget, which each year continued to grow at a runaway pace, here ever-expanding
taxation primarily covered the expenses.
The 1989 CAFR also reported the state owned $32 billion in common stocks
- but this figure was footnoted. The footnote revealed that the stocks
were valued according to their original purchase price, not the current market
value. In other words, if the state bought a stock in
1968 at $1.25 a share and it's worth $300 a share now, they still
report it on the CAFR as worth $1.25 a share. Burien determined
that the true market value for
the "$32 billion" in stocks reported on the New Jersey CAFR
was actually about $70 billion.
But Mr. Burien goes further - he claims that the dual system of books
is definitely not unique to New Jersey, but
also common among the in 1989 over 54,000 local government corporate entities
operating within all fifty states. Moreover, he claims the dual accounting
system used ten years ago in New Jersey was created in 1946 through an “private” association
by the name of GFOA (Government Financial Officers Association) and is the primary
local government accounting structure being used today overseen for policy and
accounting rules to follow dictated by GASB (Government Accounting Standards
Board) another “private” association.
For example, "In 1977 Arizona's annual service budget reported $2.8 billion
in “gross” revenues but the state's 1977 CAFR reported total
cash receipts of $3.1 billion, a mere $300 million difference."
"However, in 1997, Arizona reported an Annual Service Budget of $5.5 billion
while the State's CAFR (printed by the Auditor General's Office) showed
total gross receipts of $17 billion. That's a difference of over $11
billion over what was reported on the Budget report. In just twenty years,
Arizona had caught up to New Jersey in that both states annual Budget
reports showed less than one third of the actual gross income seen in
the states CAFRs.
"CAFRs, AFRs (Annual Financial Report), and Combined Financial Statement
reports (federal) indicate that the composite totals for all
government (Federal, state, county and city) ownership of publicly traded stocks
exceeds $32 TRILLION (53% of the total ownership of all listed stocks from ALL exchanges
INTERNATIONALLY in 1989), $8 TRILLION in insurance company equity (should
we be surprised by high priced mandatory auto insurance or unaffordable health
care?) and $5 TRILLION in Bond Surety Escrow Accounts for future liability of
existing or potential debt. Government in fact was using their own investment
funds through the back door to fund a large percentage of their own debt promoted
to the public at the front door.
Governments use Bond Surety Escrow Accounts to evade that pesky little
rule that government should not operate at a "profit." That
is, government should not impose more taxes than it actually uses to
run the government. By designating tax revenue that exceeds operating
costs as “Bond
Surety Escrow" for future liability, government avoids calling excess revenue
a "profit" and is thereby enabled to continue to substantially
enrich itself at public expense.
To illustrate the potential for abusing "future liability payments,” consider
the New Jersey plan in the 1950s to build the New Jersey State Turnpike
and Garden State Parkway Authorities. The state asked voters to approve
a $7.5 billion bond to construct the turnpikes. The state explained that
these turnpikes would be operated as toll roads by the bondholders until
the $7.5 billion bond was paid off - but the bondholders could not operate
the toll roads at a profit. Once the bonds were repaid, the turnpikes
would revert back into the state s Annual Budget as a normal cost/revenue
item. The public voted yes.
Over the following years, the state sometimes alleged that the toll revenue
from operating those turnpikes failed to cover their operating expenses,
and so additional bonds were passed to fund the turnpikes. As a result,
in 1990, the total bond liability still owed for the turnpike had grown
to $14.5 billion. But guess
how much was in the Bond Surety Escrow Accounts? $32 Billion! Enough
to repay the standing $14.5 billion bonds off twice!
How could that happen? Say the toll road made a $400 million profit for
the year and the scheduled payment on the $7.5 billion bond was $100
million. The state made the $100 million payment but payment of the $300
million extra into the Bond Surety Escrow Account that generated substantial
annual dividend returns while being designated for future liability payments.
Although they kept the $300 million, they did not declare it as an asset
but wrote it off as a line item payment. In other years, even though
they made a good profit, by depositing more than the profit made they
alleged that they lost money and therefore
floated more billions in bonds. (Guess who pays?)
The bottom line is that New Jersey and
other local government entities are collecting hundreds of billions of virtually
unreported dollars from other operations. The motivating factor is not public
welfare, but control of those billions.
Mr. Burien not only alleges that the dual accounting system exemplified
by CAFR is not only used by all fifty states, but also by all counties,
cities and the Federal Government itself. If Mr. Burien's allegations
are correct, as they appear they are after verification from many others
that have now looked, they comprise the most damning indictment of big
government yet seen. In sum, Mr. Burien implies that our government is in fact acting as a criminal enterprise bent on
oppressing Americans by extorting several times as much tax revenue then is needed
for what it spends on public services and using the majority of those extorted
revenues to further enrich, empower and enlarge government at public expense.
Mr. Burien contends that the inner circle of the individuals controlling
the top wealth of this structure, have the attitude toward the public
of; Keep the Chipmunk (the public) running on the treadmill, confused
as possible, as through trickle down economics, just enough revenue is
supplied to keep the chipmunk running at optimum efficiency as the top inner circle controlling parties
tap off 80% of the energy produced by the treadmill. The
key words here are Optimum Efficiency and by the definition of what
the public has allowed to happen as they left the vault door unintentionally
open, the true final effect of forced labor, control, and subservience
has masterfully and strongly rooted by unrestrained takeover.
According to Mr. Burien, although the public is absolutely ignorant concerning
the wealth and gross income shown in the CAFR, the primary cause for that
ignorance is not the politicians firmly entrenched for enrichment but the mainstream
media. When Mr. Burien first discovered the CAFR reports in New Jersey in 1989,
he went on radio 101.5 FM in a live 45-minute interview. Several days later,
that radio station was threatened with losing its license on “other” issues
and was almost shut down. CAFR had become another example of - "third rail
journalism" – since the 60’s any reporter or media outlet
that touched the issue would be silenced or driven from journalism. As
a result, there's
been a total mainstream media blackout on disclosing CAFR reports. For over fifty
years the directors and CEOs of the primary syndicated media organizations both
print and broadcast, were sent state CAFR reports each and every year, as they
maintained a blackout towards the simple mentioning of the report. As
the wealth base grew, more hands were firmly entrenched in the pockets
of that wealth.
Mr. Burien reports the discovery of the fact that as of 1990, New Jersey
State Judges are vested in a personal retirement guarantee of $5,000,000.00, per
judge after they serve as a judge for one year (they vested with 100% retirement
benefits after 1 year). Federal district court judges did not have a retirement
or pension plan do to the fact that they were appointed for life. Being
appointed for life they received their full paycheck and benefits for life. Do
you need anyone to spell it out for you? Would a New Jersey State or Federal
District Judge allow an attack on the squirreled away $Billions and jeopardize
his entry into $Millionaire$ boys retirement club status? The inner
circle gets the gold!!
Later, Burien learned that the New Jersey official
in charge of discrediting his CAFR discoveries was a former reporter (Harvey
Fisher) who d been appointed Assistant State Treasurer
- even though he had no former financial background. Burien
investigated his background and learned that as a reporter for the
Bergen Record he made $35,000 a year. But as Assistant State Treasurer
he made $65,000 a year - plus a Carte Blanche tax free expense account
of $125,000 !????????
Burien claims this was not an aberration: "I knew there was a state
data search department under the Department of Treasure Personnel division
which tied all agencies and departments together. In 1990 I called that
department and asked for a data search on all key level directorships
and supervisory positions for all budgetary or autonomous agencies, and
they came up with some 3,400 names currently listed that were placed
over several administrations. Almost
1800 of these Directors were former editors or reporters! It
is a virtual certainty that many of these appointments were payoffs
for the journalist’s
previous "cooperation" in spinning or silencing stories to
suit government as it took it all over by expansion and investment wealth
takeover..
If you conduct a comparable search in other states, you may find a similar
symbiotic relationship between government, editors, and reporters. The
more money held and generated by an agency, the higher the percentage
will be. If so, the media's "liberal, pro-government bias" may run much deeper
than anyone has imagined, and the military-industrial complex" described
by President Eisenhower in the 1950's may have been replaced by a “media-bureaucracy-banker
complex" in the 1990s.
Therefore, Mr. Burien recommends that once you analyze your state's Budget
and CAFR reports (and make sure to look at back issues over the decades), you
insist that your local news mainstream media (TV, papers, radio) raise the "Public
Awareness" by reporting the difference between the composite "total
of cash receipts from all agencies, departments, investments, etc." and
the "actual total composite revenues held or controlled." Mr. Burien
started with national disclosure of the CAFR and the structure behind it on June
8th 1998. In 1999, GFOA and GASB (Government Accounting Standards
Board) changed through successive transmittal letters sent to local governments
the accounting requirements for local governments within the Combined Financial
Columns of the CAFR from; All revenue, income and investments being shown, To; All
revenue, income and investments being shown that were necessary to meet obligations
and liabilities of that local government. This change in accounting is
substantial. The good point here for disclosure is that you
can look at a pre 1999 CAFR report, 1997-95-93, etc., and spot modifications
made in revenue reporting
from pre 1999 reports in comparison with post 1999 CAFR reports. With
this being done, you now know to ask and look closely at the note sections
for the accounting of those revenue streams taken off the balance columns
of the CAFR. Read
the notes of the CAFR carefully.
If your local media refuse to publicize your state's CAFR, they may be
cooperating with a criminal agreement which has effectively silenced
public disclosure of the CAFR reports for over fifty years. However, once Americans know
how much money is out there, where it's coming from and where it's going
- the government's and the inner circle's game will be over.
Any media that refuses to make “simple” and immediate mention of
the CAFR report should be publicly and aggressively exposed for their symbiotic
cooperation in silence. Exposure of the complicity of media is the jugular vein
of exposing the evil and corruption. TREASON: "Treason doth never prosper;
what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason." Sir
John Harrington, 1561-1612
A video produced started in December of 1999, by Mr. Burien, entitled: "The
Biggest Game In Town", is available and is set up for airing on your
Public Access or local TV stations. Mr. Burien, in this video introduces a program
that could lead to the final elimination of taxation in this country with a possible
dividend return to the public by and through the restructuring of the principle
of operation of government by public mandate in making the public the direct
beneficiary of the wealth. The information on the video is a must see for every
American.
POST NOTE: The video was uploaded to Google video on December 25th 2008
for worldwide viewing of which in a few months after release it has
been viewed 2.7 million times breaking “all date records” If you do a Google search for the
key words: Government wealth, you will get 55 million hits with the video being
the first hit and Mr. Burien’s website CAFR1.com being the second hit.
Even in light of this; The silence continues from our political bodies and the
main-stream syndicated media. It is apparent the “silence is golden” routine
is truly golden for those so well entrenched and intentionally involved..
[So what does this mean for you? You can let go of
the programming that says that you must do your duty and pay taxes.
Government earns more than enough money to handle higher budget costs than
they do now through the use of taxes. But you think you owe income
taxes and you have no alternatives. There ARE alternatives
