All around the world, increasingly “socialist” central/local governments and councils, in collusion with the international bankers who fund them, are frantically getting deeper and deeper into unsustainable debt – or worse, are going bankrupt. Harsh auster ity measures are being implemented, with drastic cuts in spending, privatization of assets and huge, onerous increases in rates and taxes on property owners – Is all this happening just by chance – or is it a deliberate plot? Is it a global phenomenon? W ho is responsible? Where will all this eventually end? Using the small country of New Zealand in the South Pacific as an example, this account attempts to unmask exactly why all this is happening , and provides some unique answers how it may be stopped . “In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.” Karl Marx - Communist Manifesto chapter 2 , 1848 “We are at present working discreetly, with all our might, to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. And all the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands.” Arnold Toynbee – International Affairs, p.809, November 1931 ________________________ 2 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ……………………………………………………………………………………………………….3 1.

The author has tried to keep the account short and sweet and as simplified as possible for the average reader in what can be a rather extensive and very complex subject. In New Zealand, the biggest local government taxes are called “rates” and these are calculated on the value of each individual property. At present all around the world countless countries, states, city councils, regional councils, counties, provinces etc. are either in the process of rapidly introducing severe austerity measures on their citizens, (which includes both cutting core spending and dramatically increasing tax impositions), or are continuing to borrow excessively to fund deficits at unsustainable levels prior to going bankrupt. In most cases, where borrowers are defaulting on loans the international bankers are swooping in and then privatizing the assets put up for security to themselves or companies that they control. Most people know what is presently happening in countries like Greece and Ireland now. But they are only the tip of the iceberg. In the US, over 100 cities are expected to go bankrupt or fall off the so - called ‘fiscal cliff’ in 2013 or soon thereafter. http://moneymorning.com/2012/08/17/fiscal - cliff - 2013 - will - bury - debt - ridden - u - s - cities/ Stockton, in California, is a prime example. The city filed for the largest bankruptcy of any US city in history o n June 28, 2012, due to widespread corruption and mismanagement. The council running the city was so inept and self - centered, for years the city council officials’ economic negligence had grown to the point it had even caused its lavish employee pension ob ligations and liabilities , by themselves, to exceed its annual revenue in property taxes. Almost unbelievably, the revenue being collected was not even enough to fully fund the city’s employee pension scheme alone! But Stockton is not unique . On July 3, 20 12, Mammoth Lakes, California, filed for bankruptcy. This was followed by San Bernardino, California, on July 11, 2012, when it filed for the second largest bankruptcy of any city in US history. Rockland County, New York, expects to follow, as does Scranto n, Pennsylvania; Providence, Rhode Island; Detroit, Michigan; Santa Ana, California; Long Beach, California; Costa Mesa, California. The list is growing by the day and just goes on and on. Even the US Federal Government itself and the majority of US States are also rapidly going broke. In European countries the trend is the same. In Italy, many cities are bordering on bankruptcy including Naples, Palermo in Sicily, Reggio Calabria and Piedmont. Cities and towns in southern Italy, like the US, have been plag ued by incompetence, mismanagement, crime, corruption, infiltration by the Mafia, excessive debt, wasteful use of EU funds, and have been ‘cooking the books’ for years. 4 In San Bernardino, California, in July 2012 the Sheriff’s Department was working with p olice and the district attorney’s office to investigate criminal activity by city officials accused of falsifying documents that masked the city’s deficit for 13 of the past 16 years. This “fiddling with the books” by councils, local and central government officials and politicians is becoming increasingly common. In the UK also, homeowners are rebelling against unsustainable rises in council rate s/ taxes. Some individuals are even electing not to pay any council taxes at all claiming that councils are actin g unlawfully. http://www.neverpayagain.co.uk/counciltaxcourtsscam.htm In the Bahamas, as of December 2012, the middle class is being “taxed into oblivion” by huge “Real Property Tax ” bill increases of between 200 - 500 per cent. Google search: ‘Taxed into oblivion’ from 200 - 500% real property rise / The Tribune ’ or: http://www.tribune242.com/n ews/2012/dec/27/taxed - oblivion - 200 - 500 - real - property - ri ... The list goes on and on. So who is ultimately responsible for what is happening? Is this growing global crisis in local government finances happening totally by chance? Or, is it a secret plot being deliberately created? More importantly, where may all this be leading? What are the solutions? Hopefully this little work, as short and imperfect as it is, may in some way help throw some further light on this increasingly global, controversial subj ect, and help provide some valid solutions. 5 CHAPTER ONE A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOCIALISM: 400BC – 2012AD Over half this book is devoted to this one chapter alone because the author feels it is so important. Without carefully reading this chapter on socialism it is simply impossible to fully understand the rest of this book dealing with council rate rises and taxes leading to full property confiscation. Many concerned people around the world often wonder why so many central or local government politicians and bureaucrats consistently “just sit back and do nothing” to resolve deep - seated problems facing the national or local community that even any first grade school student could easily fix. This particularly applies to rapidly rising council rates and taxes. There is a reason. While it may come as a shock for many people, in most cases, these politicians are usually not simply “incompetent” but are deliberately taking the actions they do because of their socialist views or spir itual convictions . Usually it is very difficult to detect. More often than not people with these views can be very subtle, elusive, and extremely hard to properly identify. They will often claim quite openly that they are “good family men and women” having the taxpayer public’s interests at heart, when the very reverse is to be true and behind the scenes they are actively working to implement their own socialist ideology and goals. It is an undeniable fact that all leading socialists ultimately want to dest roy the existing state of religious, social, economic and political order in sovereign countries – before bringing in a “New World Order” socialist dictatorship – with a totalitarian world government, religion, electronic currency and banking system, judic iary, police and army. For this to happen, the old system has to be destroyed first. There are now literally thousands and thousands of these “socialist” people in all countries across all political spectrums, political parties, central and local governmen t politicians, religious groups, central bankers and business leaders, secretly working behind the scenes to achieve this undemocratic end. Most ordinary members of the general public simply have absolutely no idea this is happening as the global media is totally controlled by a small socialist banking elite who ensure that all the important information about this is largely censored from public view. The following is just a very brief “history of socialism” in what is otherwise a very complex and deep subj ect for the average person. The history concentrates on only some of the most powerful socialist groups, how they were formed, their goals, and how they are incorporated into the global socialist organizations in power today. Without a basic understanding of these critical facts it is virtually impossible for anyone to fully appreciate exactly why the current 6 global political and economic system is being deliberately collapsed, and at a local level, why this is increasingly being manifested in excessive wea lth taxes, rate rises and property taxes.
