The working few and the inverted pyramid of labor: 1 out of 3 Americans financially carry the other two-thirds.

Last month a record 93,194,000 Americans were counted as not being in the labor force.  Counted might be the wrong word since this group is largely erased from any employment figures.  In fact, this is a large reason why the unemployment rate has fallen so dramatically.  Yet one grim financial reality remains.  That reality includes the fact that 1 out of 3 Americans is carrying the country financially by working in the private sector.  There needs to be a better balance and the working class is already getting slammed in this so-called recovery.  If things were so great, why is the battle cry for the 2016 election all about the working and middle class?  The stock market is near a peak.  Too bad most Americans own no stocks.  Housing values are rising.  Too bad more home purchases are going to investors versus single families.  Debt is more accessible.  Too bad it is for items like cars that depreciate immediately once the vehicle is driven off the lot.  The employment situation in the US is largely looking like an inverted pyramid.
1 out of 3
In baseball, getting a hit once out of every three at bats would be a good thing.  But life and the economy is not a baseball game.  Batting .300 is weak when it comes to employment.  So it is interesting that we give so little attention to the 93.2 million Americans that now make up the “not in the labor force” category.
The unemployment rate actually looks really good right now because the participation rate has fallen so dramatically.  The math is simple.  Count fewer people in the labor force and all of a sudden the unemployment rate looks good.  Also, many of the new jobs being added are coming in the form of low wage labor.
The math is rather clear here:
employment-us-by-segment
The numbers show an interesting situation.  You have 321 million Americans.  109 million work in the private labor force.  69 million can’t work and this group is mostly made up by children.  However, that 93.2 million group of not in the labor force is large and is a mix bag of data.  This is where the funny math shows up.
Take a look at the unemployment rate in context of the participation rate:
Unemployment-Rate-With-Labor-Force-Dropouts-March-2015
There is a gigantic difference between 9 percent unemployment and 5 percent.  Of course when you keep adding people to the not in the labor force category, the unemployment rate simply looks a lot better.  One argument we get is that many Americans are simply hitting retirement age.  It is one thing to hit retirement age and another thing to stop working completely.  We’ve discussed this before and highlight that many older Americans are broke and are living on the edge.  Social Security is the one thing keeping many from being destitute on the streets.
In fact, the labor force participation rate has fallen for nearly everyone 55 and younger:
Labor-Force-Participation-By-Age
So much for the old wealthy retiree argument.  Many older people have to work not by choice.  What is happening is that more wealth is being aggregated in the hands of the few.  A large portion of this wealth is part of the “debt machinery” that is causing large inflation across the economy.  Those telling you that inflation doesn’t exist are like the group saying there is no large “not in the labor force” category.  The cost of the following items has soared since 2000:
-College tuition
-Housing
-Health care
-Food
-Energy
-Automobiles
Yet somehow, inflation doesn’t exist.  What is troubling is this trend is going to continue.  We have 1 out of 3 people in the US supporting the rest.  As I just mentioned, most older workers (a growing portion of the population) are depending on Social Security for their livelihood.  This means more younger workers are needed.  Yet many younger workers are part of the low wage job sector.  You see how this is setting up for a tough situation in a few years.  But like most things, we will simply kick the can down the road until the next crisis hits.

Pope Francis To Followers: “Koran And Holy Bible Are The Same”

On Monday the Bishop Of Rome addressed Catholic followers regarding the dire importance of exhibiting religious tolerance. During his hour-long speech, a smiling Pope Francis was quoted telling the Vatican’s guests that the Koran, and the spiritual teachings contained therein, are just as valid as the Holy Bible.
“Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world. For centuries, blood has been needlessly shed because of the desire to segregate our faiths. This, however, should be the very concept which unites us as people, as nations, and as a world bound by faith. Together, we can bring about an unprecedented age of peace, all we need to achieve such a state is respect each others beliefs, for we are all children of God regardless of the name we choose to address him by. We can accomplish miraculous things in the world by merging our faiths, and the time for such a movement is now. No longer shall we slaughter our neighbors over differences in reference to their God.”

Hundreds Of Miles Of Razor Wire On Convoy Trucks

All News Pipeline

The United States Veterans noticed it 1st, several of them pointing out the hundreds and hundreds of miles of Concertina razor wireseen in the 2nd image above and 2nd, outstanding video below from the Fugazi Report, at the 4:03 mark showing a military convoy for "Raider Focus" in Colorado in the now viral video also featuring Blue Bell Ice Cream trucks. "Let me get this straight....they're going to lay down THAT MUCH Concertina razor wire 'just practicing' to detain people..Yeah, sure.." one commenter says as the convoy heads towards Pinon Canyon, Colorado. The 1st video below has outstanding exclusive footage of Raider Focus in Colorado from Alex Ansary, a full bore 10 1/2 minute video in which Alex shows us what's REALLY happening in the Pinon Canyon, Colorado area.


For many years, ranchers in the Pinon Canyon, Colorado area, home of the Raider Focus war games, have had a deep distrust of the US Military and the federal government as they've gobbled up more and more of their land, and broken promises, for over 25 years.The US Military is well aware of that distrust as seen in this linked story seen in the 2nd screenshot below. Think of Pinon Canyon as Bundy Ranch on steroids; for a quarter of a century. 

For those in the Reconquista movement, the lands the Feds are gobbling up are their lands, and legally part of Mexico, and they want them back. For many in the left wing in Washington DC, that's exactly what they plan on doing, they want to help the Reconquista's get the lands back. Barack Obama even took a step into 'Reconquista 101' when he stated, albeit somewhat factually correctly, "they didn't cross the border, the border crossed them." However, he did so in a way of putting himself and his feelings into direct conflict with the country he is the sitting president of.

The SQAlert republished in full below pictures below came from an awakened American who noticed something very strange going on in Colorado; a report of fences being built somewhere between Green River, Utah and Grand Junction, Colorado. In the 1st image atthe top of story, you can see a map of what America under a 'reconquested' southwest would look like; Colorado would be split in half, and coincidentally, or not, close to the same line that we fences are reported to be being built. Pinon Canyon is only 200+ miles away. 

The federal government and US Military are clearly preparing for something huge in this country with a coming financial collapse now clear; are the hundreds and hundreds of miles of Concertina razor wire going to be used to finally set up a border between Mexico and America, while dividing Colorado and part of America in half as hoped by the Aztlan movement in their bid to retake America or will it be used to help keep Americans 'in camps' who don't go along with 'the program'? 

According to one US Veteran, Concertina razor wire is used to create barriers; roadblocks, obstacles, checkpoints and defensive ops. It's not specifically designed to slice people but to grab clothing in case someone attempts to breach the wire. They've got an awful lot of it now down in Colorado and Pinon Canyon, where the residents have no trust nor love for the government anyways, and now they may be seeing this. Lot's of it. Why? Much more below including the SQAlert reporting chopper activity in Utah, FEMA in the area and fences going up with many more pictures of a Colorado military convoy and what part of America THE Aztlan hope to take back, possibly via civil war, in which Russia may arm them against America .

Steve,

Sighting report for Roosevelt, Vernal Utah area. I've contacted you before concerning Skin Walker Ranch so I hope you remember who I am. Things areratcheting up Hawk and Steve. It's now a daily occurrence. Started slowly in Feb. 2015. Chinook over flight of oil and gas fields south of Vernal and Roosevelt, from east to west, midday. I was standing on a 20' production tank and they went over my head about 15'. 
Five F-16's couple weeks later low and slow over oil and gas patch south of Vernal and Roosevelt, west to east. So low in fact I could see the pilot looking at me. So many high altitude over flights I have lost track but many fast mover over flights between Feb. and May, B1's and B52's included. 

Beginning of May, five Apache's in formation over flight of Duchesne, Roosevelt and Vernal from camp Douglas traveling west to east and then back. Was coaching my sons tee ball game and they flew right over the top of us. Everything stopped. Most were at awe and thought it was cool and were completely oblivious. There is really good film of this one and should be searchable online.They made three circles around Vernal and went back toward Wasatch Front on almost the same flight path. This made such a stir it made the news KSL.com reported it and people on social media were ecstatic. A representative of one of the armed forces; I forget which branch responded with, "We are practicing on flying in formation". The sheep went back to sleep.

I have unconfirmed reports second hand coming out of Price Utah, of MRAPS with FEMA insignia, Humvee's and more moving into the area and a rumor of a desert camp somewhere between Green River Utah and Grand Junction Colorado with fences. Another rumor of a camp somewhere above Flaming Gorge near Wyoming Utah border. This one I know personally that FEMA is doing work in the area because I received a notification for bid request through a government contractors group. I didn't connect the dots at the time but the request came through end of last year sometime. Both are in proximity to freeways and railroads. 

Yesterday and Today more apaches over Vernal and Roosevelt as well as chinooks and this time I got those on film. There is also a civilian helicopter circling Roosevelt for the last six nights. It shows up at around 9:30 pm and circles the town for about two hours flashing red lights almost like a police car. I think it is a Sheriff or law enforcement chopper but a friend inquired with the local law enforcement and they said they don't know who it is. They come after dark so they can't be identified. I'm forgetting a few more second hand reports but much Apache activity over oil and gas patches south of Vernal and Roosevelt and North of Price where the Jade Helm map shows ODGx2. I hope this is useful to you and that it can benefit somehow. It's gettingReal and my heart is heavy that we have come to it at last. The deep breath before the plunge. God bless you.

Jesus is Lord!



  

While it may not at first look to you like there's a lot of razor wire on the truck, consider this as shown in the next 2 images below, as one group leaves the rest area, another one enters. This starts in the morning and continues thoughout the day every 30 minutes. How many more trucks like the one seen in the video above are carrying even MORE Concertina razor wire? How many more miles? Many more images below.

At Pinon Canyon, they even have a full replica of an Iraqi town as seen in the next image below.

It has long been a dream of the far left wing to give much of 'America' back to Mexico. It has been documented in the maps below and presentations seen below.

Is this about 'civil war'? Russia recently stated they'd arm Mexico to help them retake what they consider 'their' land.

The population density of Hispanics in the Aztlan area is very high compared to the rest of the country.
