    An Open Letter To Al Gore [Government's "TRUE" Wealth,
the Trillions]
« on: October 07, 2004, 01:34:27 PM »    
What the Media will not tell you about the Democrat's Al Gore

The mind behind Mr. Bill Clinton towards financial direction of
this country come 1999 was Al Gore. Mr. Gore believed in open
disclosure as to the true finances of government wealth. Mr.
Gore put forward the establishment of www.financenet.gov what I
considered to be a full disclosure site.

Myself being a strong critic of government's nondisclosure,
when I looked at and reviewed financenet.gov in 1998, it broke
all the rules in the behalf of the people.  It gave a listing
of local government CAFRs (Comprehensive Annual Financial
Reports), government's Annual Financial Report that showed
"Gross" income as well as total "Investments." [Trillions in
composite totals] It listed the original transmittal letters
from GFOA (Government Financial Officers Association) a private
group originally located in Chicago, Illinois who started the
CAFR accounting structure in 1946.

In 1979 at GFOA's request they had the Feds mandate to the few
local governments who were not in compliance with producing a
CAFR to do so at that time if they wished to continue receiving
Federal funding. That was Transmittal Letter #1 issued in 1979
by what has now become GASB Government Accounting Standards
Board (a Federal Agency) Transmittal Letter #1 and the
correspondences that led up to it were there on Financenet.gov
to be viewed.

What was being hand spoon feed to the public across the country
up until that point were Selectively created budget reports
which excluded "substantial" portions of the gross income and
in almost all cases did not list the investment / future
funding accounts as was shown in the CAFRs.

CAFRs when digested and gross income is totaled, it showed in
most cases that government had evolved into a corporate for
profit business in which as of the year 2000 only 1/3rd of
governments "Gross" income came from Tax income. Budget reports
mislead the public into believing government's primary income
was tax income, it was not. Tax income was only 1/3rd of the
gross as shown in the CAFR once digested.


In many a case after careful review of a CAFR, it was shown
that government in many a case was indirectly funding their own
debt with the use of their own investment funds. A debt as
would be shown on the selectively created budget reports and
that the public was being tagged to repay.

Most people from the private sector would think that the
majority of that ever-growing debt of their local government
for bond issuance's, insurance coverage, etc., or even the
mortgage on their own house was being funded by the private
sector. Well, come the year 2000, it was not. Government
enterprise investment groups and government Pension operations
were the primary investors in that debt, and did so using the
government's own investment funds. The public was being locked
into repayment of the debt and by doing so accomplished a
return (Non-Tax income) for the government. If a private
corporation did the same to its shareholders without full and
open disclosure of doing so, the directors involved would be
sitting in the federal pen after a multiple count SEC
indictment.

But then due to the money involved, government starting in 1946
evolved into what gives a new definition to the expression of
letting the "Foxes guard the Hen house" and by definition of
circumstance and reality of the current structure, has now
given government the true title and has redefined the meaning
of the words "Organized Crime." Or as the definition of RICO
goes, "Extortion of money from the public through criminal
enterprise."

In 1999, I after reviewing Mr. Gores actions and intent as I
read it, he appeared to want a change in this new definition of
government as shown above.

At Mr. Gore's instructions Financenet.gov was created. At Mr.
Gore's instructions an audit was conducted of Federal
operations so that disclosure to the public could be made. The
results of that audit showed a five Trillion dollar surplus!
More amazingly was the fact that they let the public know this.
This fact was a true "Hats off" to Mr. Gore.

Then Mr. Gore announced his run for President. Here I saw the
sparkle of light coming over the horizon. Could Mr. Gore be the
one to downsize the abusive and obtrusive growth in government?
Could Mr. Gore be the one who would qualify that government
having 2/3rds Non-Tax income? A government that could
administratively restructure and phase out all taxes and become
self sufficient without taxation? My anticipation was growing!

Then comes the election


Well, I guess those that were glutinous sots feeding at the
nipple of the vault door in positions of power from within
Government saw the same as I and the rest is now history.

Bush and his gang maneuvers into power in 2000 and THEN:

The darkest period seen recently in my lifetime unfolds. At
first I saw the most important financial information to the
public striped off of Financenet.gov, GFOA transmittal letters
stripped, CAFR link listings deleted. THEN:

It all unfolded with the orchestration of an event in NY City
on a date we all are quite aware of, September 11th. THEN:

A five Trillion dollar Surplus in four years turns into a three
Trillion dollar deficit
. That is 8 Trillion dollars that changed hands out of the
public government vault, and as shown in the 1999 Federal
Consolidated Financial Statement note section, equal to the
total "gross" income of every individual in this nation. The
1999 Federal Consolidated Financial Statement report can be
downloaded at  http://www.fms.treas.gov/fr/backissues.html (The
Federal CAFR) What do you think, was that 8 trillion dollars
changing hands enough money to throw an election against Mr.
Gore and then lie after lie to the American people from the
Bush Gang as the plunder continues? THEN:

The entire population of a once truly free country has now had
legislation and new laws jammed down their throat to strip them
of their basic rights and diminish their financial freedoms at
the whims of government officials or upon orchestration of
events. Fear is implanted and masterfully maintained as to "The
enemy from afar" THEN:

The US takes over one, then, two, and Huh countries by brute
force securing 50% of the know oil resources of the Middle
East, and lowering the standing of opinion of this country by
the international community to its lowest point in 100 years.
But then, look at the money involved for the individuals at the
nipple of the vault door in positions of power from within
Government. NOW:

Here we stand with energy prices shooting through the roof.
Crude light breaking 52 dollars a barrel, which in most
probability will drain so much money out of the pocket of the
US populace and the economy that further dark days are ahead of
us. With the US taking over 50% of the oil reserves in the
Middle East and now being in a position to influence the rest,
why is oil shooting through the roof? As always you have to ask
yourself, who profits?

Today, I have sent this communication to Mr. Al Gore


Mr. Kerry in most probabilities at this point will win the
election for President of the United States, but I am
specifically asking Mr. Gore to implore to Mr. Kerry to clearly
mention at the next debate not just the surplus to the deficit
fact in four years, but also the "Gross Income" fact of
government with the potential upon review to move forward in
not cutting but phasing out taxation across this land.

If done Mr. Kerry faces the wrath of those feeding at the
nipple of the vault door in positions of power, but if done
this will be the most exciting election in history! The door
handles of the voting booths will melt off from the friction
created of those opening those doors.

But more importantly, a journey will start in reversing what
stands now of Organized crime walking freely in the halls of
government, and putting organized crime back into the dark
corners of the street, poorer and looking for easy money from
the outside and not from within. Keep in mind that as
government's investment assets grew, this drove the economy for
30 years.

Think of what growth we will see by the increase of those
government investment funds to 100% meet all government
budgetary requirements AND taxation being 100% phased out.
Prosperity of unequaled proportions will burst forward across
the land! Ownership and freedom by and for the people will be
the final end.
  TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME, PLEASE!

Yours Truly,

Question: Should a national effort be made to bring forward
Government's Annual Financial Report, the CAFR that shows the
TRUE "Gross" income of government.
No, if the publick saw the composit trillions things would
change.
No, reviewing the 84,000 CAFRs would confuse the public.
No, government needs to only show 1/3rd of their income as
shown in budgets.
Yes, and upon review move forward to phase out all taxation.
No, it is to complex of an issue.
Not sure, no one brought this to my attention before.
I notice that the only option for those who think it ought to
be made public has included in it the phazing out of all taxes.
I am certainly for making stuff public, but do not know enough
about this to start reccomending the end of taxation.  Might be
a good idea.  Might not.

Actually I cannot see the inherent connection between public

the second follow from the first?

To answer Mr. Buriens letter let me just ask all of you how you
would react if G.E. ( General Electric) or any other major
corporation hid all there profits in another set of book's and
didn't report them to the government for taxing purposes you
would be upset as I would to.

Now we are talking about our government and our money that our
trusted elected officials have been keeping assets ( profits )
made from the public in order to tax and spend us into poverty
well from one taxpayer this is unethical and also against the
Constitution of the United States.

In Alaska citizens there get a check monthly from there
government from $ 1,000.00 to $4,000.00, this is exactly what
our government should do with any excess surpluses they take
in.

As for elimination of the Federal and State taxes this is
feasable because with the trillions and billions of dollars all
responsibilities of the government will be met above and beyond
the required outlays.

I applaud former Vice-President Al Gore for what he is trying
to do he has the courage that most of our elected and hand
pointed officials couldn't come close to because of the so-
called power they think they have, which can be stopped by we
the American people at anytime.

This issue is the most important of all, if enacted poverty and
homeless will be no more !!!

Also if John Kerry would propose this at the debate he will
beat President Bush in a landslide but most of all install a
trust in the American people again that has been sorely missed
since the assassination of President Kennedy.

Well, that's kind of my question.  The poll certainly links the
two, so much so that there is no way to vote 'no' on the end of
taxation without also voting to keep CAFRs secret.  What I'm
saying is that the poll is leading.

Xenophile and Yabu:

Per public disclosure of CAFRs and elimination of taxation, the
reality of this situation is that government has given the
"false" impression that they "survive" and operate from
Taxation. When you look at the CAFR to determine "Gross" income
being generated by the "Whole Picture," only 1/3rd of the gross
income is derived from tax income. Two-thirds (2/3rds) of the
gross income is primarily derived from return on investment
funds and Enterprise operations. A pension fund pays a salary
at retirement. Arizona, Oregon, Washington State retirement
funds in 1993 - 2000 generated EACH between 3 to 6 billion
dollars a year.

Government pension funds have shown an exemplary record of good
management and return for now over 65 years and have grown to
composite totals of a conservative twenty-eight (28) Trillion
dollars when looking at the totals of "all" local and federal
pension funds. These funds grew to this point with very little
being contributed each year by the employee and government
employer, and by investment of those funds it helped drive the
economy for the last fifty years.

I do note that actuarial games were played in many a case to
over charge the employee and the taxpayer as these funds
spurted up in their massive balances. Take a look at a state
retirement fund CAFR (yes they do have one) and being for a
pension fund it will show and give specific information on
"every" investment held, as where local government CAFRs in
most cases will list just totals invested but not the
individual investments. Back in 1993 to 2000 government
employees if they asked what was the return on their pension
fund were told 7 or 8%. In reality they were being told the
actuarial projection for return used. The true or actual return
from that period was 16 to 23%.

Misleading actuarial projections can mean the difference in
billions over real need. Most government employees should have
been getting refunds during that period but the take continued
to inflate the balances. Motive? ANS: Where that blossoming
money was invested and who got those investments.

Well, back to the questions of Xenophile and Yabu. Government
since the inception of the CAFR in 1946 has followed a media
rule of "If it is not reported, it didn't happen." Hear was the
Holy Grail of government accounting, their Annual Financial
Report and not a peep to the public for 50 years. The budget,
the budget, the budget was all the public heard. Why? Due to
the money involved. In 1946, government was a pay as you go
system. What they brought in from taxation, most went out in
services. With the creation of the CAFR, now the pay as you go
structure could continue under the Budget Report and investment
return with the principle held and massive revenue generated
from enterprise operations could be shifted over to the CAFR.

To give an example of the significance of what happen from this
planed maneuver I will use Arizona as the example. In 1974 as
seen in the Arizona State CAFR, the service budget was 1.8
billion dollars and the total "Gross" receipts were 2.1 billion
or a difference of 300 million. Come 2000, the service budget
was 14.5 billion and the total gross receipt were 35 billion
dollars or a difference of 20.5 billion, greater than the
budget itself! The reality check word I use for this example is
very simply, plunder. Plunder justified by any measure or
tactic due to the money involved. Arizona is not unique.
Similar standards apply across the country, not as the
exception but as the rule.

So, with a look at the big picture of the CAFR, upon the
realization that now government's gross is only 1/3rd taxation,
a new thought is generated. That being; If they have grown to
operate on 1/3rd taxation, lets go the next 9 yards with a
little downsizing and modifications and make it 100% without
taxation!

The poll is designed to create thoughts that scream disclosure.
The phasing out of taxation becomes a very real comprehension
of a seed planted that can turn into a tidal wave of reality
once the "Big Picture" is comprehended and then digested.

As in a pension fund that pays a salary, a Tax Retirement Fund
(TRF) for local venues can be put into motion and if enforced,
meet all budgetary obligations where taxation can be phased
out. Additionally, in good years an actual dividend check could
be issued to all resident property owners.

Government has proven without any doubt that this will work
based on their own exemplary track record of managing their own
funds. The greed, ambition, and abusive growth that is now well
entrenched combined with the void of comprehension
intentionally created for public consumption is the primary
obstacle that stands in the way of this happening, but with
open disclosure and just basic comprehension coming forth to
the public, it could happen overnight.

Keep in mind that for the last 30 to 40 years most elected
officials, editors, educators have been sent the CAFRs and not
a peep to the public due to the money involved. Educators
themselves produced their own CAFR for their school districts
and Universities. That fact alone is a testament to the
pervasive and grave nature of the collusional nondisclosure
that has taken place in regards to this issue due to the money
involved.

Think of the effect on the economy of TRF funds springing up
all over the country and those investments being reinvested in
the venues where TRFs are operating, plus no taxation. Now
that's what I call a free land.

I have been getting really fed up over the last few decades
with the illusions that has been so masterfully marketed and
spoon feed to us at our expense and another's profit. With the
above openly coming forward and going into play to phase out
all taxation, this changes the "Big Picture" on behalf of the
public for all time to come and in reality once applied in all
reality greatly benefits the economy from increased massive
investment as well as benefiting government from the return
accomplished therefrom.

This changes the underling MOTIVE of government operations from
where they stand now of extortion and deception for EASY profit
to an open mode of performance, service, efficiency, and well
deserved profit for overseeing the affairs, laws, and
prosperity of "The People" of this country without the obvious
detriment of forced taxation. The Financial Cartels will also
be very happy assisting in the management of the TRF accounts.
Government pension funds to date have been their biggest nest
egg. Well, the nest and the economy would thrive with the
addition of the TRF accounts added into the pool. Ready for the
millennium anyone? People of this country, are you ready to
regain ownership of your country, property, and lives?

Mr. Burien,

This all sounds great and comes as no surprise to a
"Coincidence Theorist Crackpot Kook" like myself.  I sincerely
appreciate your research and endeavors.  I'm too busy chasing
my own theories to sit down and analyze the CAFR data, not to
mention I can't even keep a checkbook balanced . . .  My
question to you is this:  What are your credentials, and can we
have the "Cliff's Notes" on how and why you discovered this?

Thanx,
Budman from Wyoming

Bud:


Sorry to hear of your confusion and of being too busy.  But
then each of us has our own priorities.

Per "Cliff's Notes," if you do a Google search on "Walter
Burien" you will get the info to your question on the "how" and
"why." Also from my home page CAFR1.com you will see a link to
download the transcript of a video I produced in 2000 entitled
The Biggest Game in Town. The transcript covers all points of
your questions and more.

Also do a Google search on CAFR. You will get about 200,000
hits and my CAFR1 AOL site is usually #1 and my new
http://CAFR1.com site is climbing and at about #5.

Hope things go well for you out in Wyoming.

Yours Truly,

Walter J. Burien, Jr. - WJB
