CAFR Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
The government take over
of the US economy
This video was originally produced on January 8, 2000 by Walter Burien.
The government, at all levels, is running a very simple financial con game.
If something produces revenue - like bridges, highways, ports, or successful investments etc - that revenue goes into off budget slush funds.
If it costs money, it's charged to the public via taxes.
This is being done at all levels of government - including state, county, city, and school districts.
The total "off budget" funds held by the various governments amount to trillions of dollars.
The real accounting is contained in what's called Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR) which are not only not made available to the public, their very existence is never mentioned by the news media.
Why?
Trillions of dollars pays for a lot of corruption.
Every time an elected official stands before you and tells you the government is out of money and they have to raise taxes, he or she is lying through their teeth

12/25/08 - "The Biggest Game in Town" video Published to the Internet
by Walter Burien
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6703413885850200097
"The Biggest Game in Town" video was produced on January 8th 2000 and then was distributed only by VHS tapes. About 8,000 originals were distributed internationally and copy/distribution rights were given whereby about 140,000 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation copies were circulated.
For the first time, on December 25th 2008 the video "The Biggest Game in Town" is now published to the Internet via Google Video and also the source .mpeg (1.2 gig) file will be be available on CD from CAFR in DVD, AVI, MP3, or MPEG format. The Google version has not been blocked and is available to download from Google. The documentary published to Google video is not the best film quality but it gets the valid information out there and was annotated on the lower script line with 2008 information.
This was the first CAFR1 video that got the ball rolling for international disclosure of the CAFR of which has become the biggest shell game played in government finance.
Government promotes annual "Budget Reports" and at the same time virtually not a peep as to their Annual Financial Report (AFR) or the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) that came forward in 1946 to become the standard for all local government come 1978. Do a Google search on CAFR
The shell game in simple analogy that has been played out by government per the CAFR vs. The Budget is as follows: If you have a basket of 40 apples and a basket of 200 oranges, if you audit the basket of apples you will find 40 apples and then government implies "an audit of the fruit basket shows 40 apples, look no oranges!"
The annual "Budget" is what government calls "The general purpose operating funds" (the apples) The CAFR (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) shows all investments that have built up over decades, tax income, and enterprise income (The oranges and the apples) To refer to accounting from the general purpose operating funds exclusively which "is" a showing almost exclusively of the primary tax income with the exclusion of all the rest is perpetuating the gross misrepresentation game government has been playing now for over 65 years.. In doing so over the last 65 years composite government now "owns it all" by investment and with said ownership controls the markets and by being the primary owner of the market, drives the markets significantly up or down through their coordinated buying and selling.
Additionally, with the use of derivatives such as Commodity Futures, Currency Indexes, advance forward interest rate swaps, and Stock options (now a 600 trillion dollar "created on paper" market place developed by government) coordinated government market plays can take the wealth of others as the market collapses or spikes into higher ground with all of those "others" being on the wrong side of the move. This happened from 911, the crude oil rise to $154 and then collapse to $32, and the recent mortgage interest rate implosion. Those not included in these market plays were left on the curb side bleeding profusely and those included fared quite well. The slap happy take though created instability in the market place where under the terms of this massive shell game, government then took over a trillion dollars of "tax payer funds" to shore up their own playing field so that the several trillion dollars in diversified government investment not protected by derivatives would not be further adversely effected.
I note that in the 80's government fund management created several "OFF SHORE" investment groups whereby government funds could be held, managed, and invested internationally in any country or currency whereby the totals held and profits obtained virtually would become invisible to public scrutiny and SEC / CFTC reporting being off-shore. A complete AUDIT of international holdings and trading activity is URGENTLY needed to see the "NET" results of the market manipulations that took place since September 2001 to present...... Will this happen? Not as long as the foxes maintain regulation over the hen house! Independent audits by public edict are required.. http://TaxRetirement.com was launched on November 2nd 2008 of which upon application will be the crowbar to start the process of unbiased and accurate independent audits.
I have copied an article I received today below that is a big "Heads Up" to stop a play on the political side that is obviously intended to consolidate the control the corporate "for profit" government currently has obtained. Learn quickly... have no doubts about it, final ownership of our country by the corporate government syndicate or by the people is at stake here.
The BLACK-OUT continues from our government, the syndicated media, controlled education, and both primary political parties.. DUE TO THE MONEY AND CONTROL INVOLVED!

How to handle an obfuscation reply to the CAFR or TRF
Folks:
When you get an obfuscation reply from a government official or news reporter per the CAFR or TRF, here is a good reply you can customize for yourself and shoot back to them. Copy below.

Pension funds pay a salary and benefits at retirement. Any local government can be restructured to meet their annual budget needs "Without" taxes. TRF (Tax Retirement Funds) paying for every City, County, State’s annual budgetary needs! This now makes the people the true owners with government being the true service provider. Government has already shown that a TRF works by example through the management of their own combined multi-trillion dollar pension funds! CAFR1 says: Make it law and make it so!

Sir:
I have seen your writing style for over a decade. You so easily expect the readers to eat the obfuscation you are dishing out relying on the reader to be easily naive whereby they do not see through your obfuscation.
Let me make it easy for all readers to break through your intentional misdirection:
1. If you have a basket of 40 apples and a basket of 200 oranges, if you audit the basket of apples you will find 40 apples and then you imply an audit of the fruit basket shows 40 apples, look no oranges! The annual "Budget" is what government calls "The general purpose operating funds" (the apples) The CAFR (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) shows all investments that have built up over decades, tax income, and enterprise income (The oranges and the apples) To refer to accounting from the general purpose operating funds exclusively which "is" a showing almost exclusively of the primary tax income with the exclusion of all the rest is perpetuating the gross misrepresentation game government has been playing now for over 65 years..
2. You casually use the term "no proof" hoping your reading audience is stupid and gullible enough to concur on face value of the statement made when in fact the primary showing on CAFR1.com is a showing of nothing but definitive proof of the composite totals amassed by government by listing, showing, and making available for downloading governments own city - county - state CAFR reports, US Treasury Auditor Generals Audit reports, government retirement CAFR reports. If you have done this unintentionally, then look and learn. If you have done this intentionally, eat and choke on your own poison.
3. ENRON promoted their profit and hid their debt. Government does the exact opposite, they promote their debt and hide their profit. They do so with the full cooperation of the syndicated media, controlled education, and both political parties DUE TO THE MONEY INVOLVED... They had one liability: they had to keep a record of their holdings and balance statements and to perpetuate their game they rammed the "Budget report" down the public's throat and worked diligently for not a peep of the CAFR. That old saying applied; If the largest tree in the forest fell and no one heard or saw it fall, did it actually fall? Your complete void of not bringing the core issues forward of the totals shown in the CAFR (now over 135,000) separate CAFR or AFR (Annual Financial Reports) produced by local government makes me strongly question your intent and motives behind your script of void seen here..
The TRF as brought forward on http://TaxRetirement.com is specifically designed to facilitate on a case by case basis an independent audit of local venues, a statistical review to bring government back to the "1965" standard after accounting for inflation and population increase, and most importantly of all the phasing out of all taxation through the use of the TRF fund principle of operation..
Look and LEARN! The time is late and the call mostly unheard..
I have made this one courtesy reply for clarity of the issues involved here. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Yours Truly,
