Third world America: Phony statistics and widespread fraud at the Census Bureau

Face it, America is hurtling toward third world status, and the signs are all around us, from the growth of a violent underclass to the rise of an oligarchy to a government that lies without shame and re-doubles on those lies when challenged.  One of the other symptoms is the emergence of phony government statistics. John Crudele of the New York Post has broken story after story oin fraud in the Census Bureau’s statistics, which are used for many political and economic purposes, affecting the lives of all Americans. Based on sources throughout the Bureau, he is now charging widespread fraud, and some of his sources have agreed to speak with an Inspector General. These whistle blowers need protection against retaliation

The OIG, Oversight Committee and several others are looking into the operation of Census since I broke the Buckmon story.

If investigators do want to speak with any of the Census sources who have now come forward, I am insisting that the workers be protected under federal whistle-blower laws.

The corruption Crudele has uncovered is disheartening, as is the response of the bureaucrats who are covering their posteriors.

There’s a pattern of falsifying statistics throughout the entire Census Bureau. And anyone who attempts to blow the whistle on the fraud is either retaliated against or ignored, according to two new sources who have experienced the process firsthand.

As I’ve been writing for more than six months, the Census Bureau office in Philadelphia uncovered a case of fraud in 2010, did nothing about it and allowed the practice to continue.

In that instance, a data collector named Julius Buckmon was faking reports that went into the nation’s all-important jobless tally and consumer-inflation survey.

The first thing that needs to be done is to cut the census bureau off from the thoroughly corrupt executive branch.

Let’s see. A little while ago the census bureau was moved to be under the control of ... what was it? Oh yes, the White House.

[WaterWeWaitinFor]

Both correct !! AND I ask you......... WHY are all the GOPe disgusting leaders hiding under their desks on all of this.

They KNOW what’s going on, fake numbers, White Hut in charge so that Val Jar can manipulate and “get even” with those of us who were “against us”. The GOPe knew about the IRS and secretly loved going after TParty peeps.

I’m so disgusted with the GOP in DC, how about any of you? Can we still make any phone calls to have this stopped? Does it help? I keep making those calls.

I believe you are speaking of The Ministry of Truth.

The malevolent Chicago criminals wasted no time.....the minute Obama/Valerie/Rahm/Axelrod and that bunch landed in DC they did two things that were apparently cruial to their evil plans:

(a) they took control of the US Census;

(b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (the IRS).

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD shortly after quitting his powerful WH job as Obama's COS, Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago. Then Rahm announced he had magically "raised" $10 million for his campaign in "just a matter of weeks." (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down). Ya gotta wonder how much Wall Street Rahm wired offshore when Obama put him in charge of the entire US Treasury.

=====================================================

Rahm Emanuel takes over Chicago / May 16, 2011

EDITED EXCERPT .... an exciting time in the inbred world of Chicago Democratic politics.... Democratic don, Richard M. Daley ruled for 22 years, inheriting the mayoralty from his father, Mayor Richard J. Daley who held on for a generation. Now the ex-chief of staff of Chicagoan Barack Obama (once a state Senator, now president) was installed. US Treasury Secy Tim Geithner was there, and so was Chicagoan David Axelrod, an O team player.

BTW, Mayor Daley's former chief of staff, Valerie Jarrett, hired Obama's wife, Michelle, to work in Chicago City Hall. Jarret is now ensconced in Washington, as Obama's chief policy advisor.

In Chicago gangland vernacular, "chief policy advisor" means "wire-transfer artist".

Mayor Emanuel's innovative ways commenced early on---his organization was getting $50G's for the best seats at the inauguration (mmmm........that accounts for another couple million scammed from Treasury).

The mayoralty (and its--cough--"benefits") is a job Emanuel has coveted since he was a machine go-fer back in the 1980s.....before he became Bill Clinton's national campaign finance chairman and then a dual role as senior White House aide and Goldman Sachs lobbyist and then (gasp) becoming a multi-millionaire, thanks to a measly few months at a local investment firm...then a (gag) Congressman for four terms---then White House chief of staff for Obama that helped create the 2010 Republican House landslide.

Since 2008 and the elevation of a nobody with no background and no accomplishments became leader of the free world. Since then, he has continually added to a tinder box that is ready to explode.

THIS DID NOT NEED TO HAPPEN. Any sign of courage among the moral degenerates in Versailles on the Potomac would have stopped this from happening. Whether it is the Bundys or a CT/NY man defying stupid gun confiscation laws or yet another criminal activity that is winked at, this cannot continue.

America hasn't a chance with the powerful communists running the Country with King Obama at it seat.

Miss Romney yet? Now we will have 2014 so all you super intelligent republicans just stay home, like you did before.

This perfectly fits the leftist "reverse scientific method" model:

1. Draw you conclusions.
   
2. Cherrypick data which supports said conclusions.
   
3. Ignore or discard data which does not.
   
4. If there still isn't enough data to support said conclusions, then manufacture it.

Shut up and wait for your big fat pension.
