Extortion (also called shakedown, outwresting, and exaction) is a offense against human rights which occurs when a person obtains money, property or services from a person(s), entity, or institution through coercion or force. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes called 'protection.' in this age, extortion is commonly practiced by organized groups and entities of any kind. The actual obtaining of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence or oppression which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future oppression is sufficient to commit the offense. Exaction refers not only to extortion or the demanding and obtaining of something through force, but the infliction of something such as pain and suffering or forcing someone to endure unpleasant actions.
"Government is going to work, we're going to make it work. But it's ultimately the American people coming together that is going to determine what we accomplish."
- President Barack Obama
We are here to be certain that government and authority are held responsible and accountable. Ignorance is the most expensive commodity. We are here to shine the light.

Labor: Slavery by Corporate America
Voices of reason have long proclaimed that the only key to a decent future is a college education as we trumpet excess, luxury and credit for all. The halls of academia do not suit every temperament, nor can the world operate only through the league of white collar employment and office jobs. Who will take care of the national infrastructure, manufacturing and all those green jobs that the nation has been promised?
A sedentary, artery-clogging, boss-centered lifestyle is not a requirement to exist in America. Yet, hundreds of thousands of American youth have been or continue to buy into massive college loans if credit is available. College loans are not a guarantee of success. Nearly half of students who start college will drop out before graduating. Where will they go? What will they do? Will they roam the streets unemployed? Our country has been facing major workforce shortages for years, which have been taken up by illegals in many cases. The employment of illegals are the latest attempt by big business and government to create a new subclass of American worker in which to found a new nation based on a new societal caste system.
Without question, the nation has been suffering where jobs are concerned, brought about by nothing less than white collar crime. You can’t really talk about careers since corporates nip millions of so-called careers in the bud every year due to their own self-interest. That reality existed before the recession stripped the nation of what millions of Americans see as their only self-respect in the eyes of big business: the job.
America has been convinced that working a corporate job is the only way to live. The white collar job has been sold as the American stock and trade. The federal government has been very happy with this campaign as corporations and big business are highly complicit with federal law and the collection of taxes. As a result of this nearsighted approach, the American labor force has been selling itself short and has allowed itself to be deluded about the future and personal potential for the future.
We are being told that only by following rules and leadership of big business, the corporate and the academic world, can Americans possibly prosper. Has this proclaimed fact proved to be true? Are you truly being prospered now? Has the nation prospered? Think for yourself. You are your own best friend and are fully capable of supporting yourself if you are willing to think outside the box that the government, big business and corporates have made for you. There is hope. Great personal success can exist outside the cubicle. You are not a slave…at least not per the founding documents of America. ~ E. Manning
