That is really wonderful of them. These two are a couple to be reckoned with. I don't think any other couple comes close to what they've done for people. Thanks!

They certainly put their money where their mouth is, don't they? I think it is awesome of them. They are good people.

It is simply pocket change for them. It is eaiser for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter heaven.

1m compared to their bank accounts..is like me saying i donated 1 dollar to charity.

I LOVE YOU ANGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Sweetpea, did you dontate $1.00 to charity? If so, what charity has your name on the list of donors. I bet you never donated a $1.00 to anything. The point is, they did donate, and they could have just spent it on themselves. I am sure $1 million will help someone out. Why are you knocking someone for doing something good? This is only one thing they did.

I think it's great they donate and even though 1 million to them is like 1 dollar to us, that money does help. What I don't like is that can't seem to do it more discretely. The world should not know every time they donate, but maybe that's what they want. Maybe that's their reward, although it shouldn't be. It just seems like they know how to make the things they want private and this isn't one of them.

Sweetpea~ Obviously you've never given. It may not be much money to you, but it means a lot to the people who really need the support. Shame on you.

Why are there so many haters! These people are not only good looking but are obviously very generous. They don't have to give their money away. The fact that they gave to people that they will never meet is beautiful. God will surely bless them.

How can't you love these two? There are only a few celebrities who put their ridiculous salaries to a good use, and Angelina and Brad are a prime example. More power to them.

The 2 are obviously soooo in love that they'd give everything away.

its good that they made it public. i didnt know these charities existed until today. now i could look into it. and maybe donate some money to these charities myself.

Beautiful on the inside and the outside.

its awesome that they are helping others.....i just think that when u do sumthing gud, do u do it for acknowledgement or to make a difference?

Once again they have done a great thing! Sweat pea, $1 Million goes a hell of a long way to get food, clothing and blankets for people. Have you ever done charity work or given money of your own. It is the best feeling in the world.

it's great that they gave 1 million..Yet on the other hand.. they can write it off for the IRS??

Hollywood needs more people like this instead of the self-serving, entirely ego driven jerks like Tom "I can change the world with Scientology" Cruise. Pitt/Jolie are doing tangible things for real people. Good for them, and a good example, whether it is $1, $1,000000.00 or simply face time for a charity (which has tremendous value if you are a celebrity of their caliber).

yeah great! this is all for the publicity. they are both media whores. I agree that this amounts is nothing compared to their joint millions. and yes I do donate my time and money to organizations without looking for payback...

This is great what they have done!. There should be more movie celebs following there good examples!. This shows they are people with good intentions'. O' and even if it is pocket change for them so what! something is better than nothing.It's the good deed and action that counts. I reather see all money posible go to charitys than the IRS anyday!!.

i really don't care she is wreaker some one house for her own selfishness and i know she is feeling insecure that why she is have all these kids but i know one day brad will dump her

i admire both to do that kind of charity! no matter what if you think it is one dollar or one million. they both did make a big difference in another country with hard economic going on. therefore, one million really make a big deal for those countries. you both rock! even though i know brad is addicted to heavy arts that worth over 500k as part of his collection. i am still glad that he still make his time to give 1 million to the charity! :)

I think its great that they donate all this money, but why not donate the money to people here in the United States, not in Iraq, where they just soon cut your throat, then look at you.Helping out the children of Iraq vets is great, but who really needs the help is the Vets coming home, they really need the help, and before you help the kids, you really need to help the vets, they need to adjust, need a place to live, a job, money to live on, most of the vets left a good job to go over to Iraq to fight, they come home, and their homes are being foreclosed on, no place tolive, no way of helping their family, thats where the money needs to go. Thanks Brad and Angie, but please look at the vets, and may God bless you

What a beautiful couple, inside and out. Thanks for people like them, this world is a alittle better place.

PUBLICITY......................INFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS like HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLoise and her kind buy this kind of CRAP from HOLEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and B sPITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

maria scum, still alive? Jus seen that you and one or two fellow pondscum still around to spew vitriol. Well we buy that kind of "crap" as you call it because we are good people. Well done BRANGELINA.

Pondscum? Excellent name for maria and her little toads.

Once again Brangelina shines brighter than all the rest.

I don't know why they can't donate money without announcing it like they are the only ones that ever donate. It seems obvious that Jolie's movie promotion is at the root of this latest "looky me" BS PR they are once again throwing our way. Donate all the money you have Jolie. You were a whore yesterday, you are a whore today, and you will still be a whore tomorrow!

At least she's doing something good now. She could be partying and puking like some of the others that are worshipped. She's a good mom and does wonderful things for people less fortunate.

I have said often here that I wished that they would give more and keep less, and also I felt that if there were celebrities who could lead they way in this regard, I felt it could be Angelina, well it looks here like this is starting to happen...( setting precedents ) so I am happy to read this article and grateful to them.

I have to agree that one million dollars is one million dollars...and it will help the children and that is the point. If each person gave one dollar...that would add up to quite a lot.

I give what I can to the charities I believe in, I support several children's funds, and also a youth shelter in the city.

My donations are not a lot, but they are consistent, and I honestly do believe that every bit counts and helps.

We do what we can, and that is the best we can do, and so should be proud of however much that is, and not let the fact that others may give more prevent us from doing this.

You know?

Good on the two of them. Regardless of whether it is like $1 to most of us, it is still a very generous gesture. It's a shame that there aren't more wealthy people following in their footsteps.

I too, used to think that it would mean more if they donated a little more discretely instead of shouting it to the world BUT I have since changed my tone on that theory. As the more people aware of these charities, the more help and donations they may receive. After all every little bit helps. Whether it be $1 or $1,000,000.

Howdy Ellen. How are things? Freezing my butt off here in Aus. Great news on bubs. Vision Aust have told us that the vision in his right eye appears to be up to standard for a child of his age. His left will always have an impairment, but we're patching his right, hoping brain will send stronger signal through to the left eye. Very tiring for us all, but worth it for the chance of improvement. Fingers crossed. Although, even if there is no improvement it's a huge step from his initial diagnosis. YIPPPPEEEE! I'll now be donating to Vision Australia!!

Hope life is treating you and your family well. Take it easy.

my husband and i donate big time to a children's hospital where his business is located and to our church --- often and a lot!!! but it's always anonymous!!! it feels better doing it that way. though..... it happens to FEEL more SINCERE!!!!!!

Hey NLH~

Nice to hear from you! What great news for your bubs...children are amazing little people when it comes to healing. I hope his vision continues to improve, and maybe will end up with just glasses wouldn't that be wonderful.

Vision Australia! They rock.

I have been fine, working a lot, so not a lot of time for blogging lately really, but I do like checking in here still.

JD and I had a good debate a little while ago on one of these Brang blogs...check out June archives I guess, a few before this one.

Haven't heard a word from him lately though, I thought he would have something to say on this one, but not as of yet.

He still doesn't know what to make of me...whether I am sincere in my quest for peace and sharing the wealth or whether I am just another celebrity junkie :)

Have been thinking that I haven't heard from you in while, so thanks for the update on your little boy, great news!

You are freezing down under? Must be winter there, summer is here up North in Canada, and we are having a heat wave right now...

On topic, I was very happy to read this article, I feel that they are trying to lead from example here, and if they influence others with big bucks and PR clout to give more and keep less, then I will have gained a lot of respect for them, and hope JD will give them a little credit too...

What are the odds? Will see I suppose.

Did you get that JD? Does this soften your opinion in any small way? Is it possible to be part of the 1% club and use it for the good of humanity?

Good question...

Well NLH, will go and do something constructive, have a whole day off today yay! Gotta get outside in the warm sun.

Take care, will look for you on here later...cfn

to our dear Ellen ~ KEEP ON DREAMIN' and BELIEVIN' that the GRUESOME TWOSOME will KEEP LESS sooooooooooooooooo they can GIVE MORE..... HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!! for as long as all you FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS out there KEEP PATRONIZING this GRUESOME TWOSOME --- y'all KEEP GIVIN' and BELIEVIN' in them (wasting your HARD EARNED MONEY in any way, every way YOU POSSIBLY COULD... THEY WILL CONTINUE WITH ALL THESE PUBLICITY STUNTS and KEEP ON RUNNING TO THE BANK HAVING THEIR LAST LAUGH AT ALL YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS!!!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD i am NOT IN YOUR SHOES. they're not gettin' even a penny!!!

hey Ellen... let's put it this way --- all we can so is PRAY FOR THIS MIRACLE TO HAPPEN (that the 1% club will wake up one morning ALL FEELING SELFLESS and SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FULL OF LOVE FOR MANKIND...) then WE COULD ALL LIVE IN PEACE & HARMONY.

at first glance, i thought i was looking at sonny & cher at the photo above... LOLPOMP!!!!!!!! B sPITTTTTTTTTTTTTT has LOST IT ALL since the POOR BALL LESS creature hooked up with the STINKY SKANKY BONY ASS HOLEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!!!

bet you he tried to leave her one time... but then the DEVIOUS WHORE THREATENED TO KILL HERSELF & TAKE ALL THE KIDS WITH HER --- sooooooooooooooooo, in short.... HE'S STUCK WITH HER BONY UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGLY (FLAT AS HER UPPER UGGGGGGLY TEETH) ASS.

actually, if you put HOLEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewww in a line up of women (all from india)--- you won't be able to tell who she freakin' is... she will simply blend in... they all look ALIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow.

Indian women are Goddesses. I am willing to bet that most Indian women would never talk to you like that. I think you need a break Maria. Time out...pls get some rest.

Then try to ask yourself, why are you so miserable? This was not a white supremist site last time I looked.

I have good friends from India, and nope they look nothing alike.

Well, I think that tirade was just verbally abusive. Since you claim to have not an oz of regard for me, then you would never know it by this spectacle of words.

They are only words, you jerk. Lots and lots of words, you have actually discredited yourself from any vision of being a prophet or saving the middle and lower classes from the 1%.

Why you ask? Well, you are too friggen mean to the very people you profess to want to enlighten and save from ourselves.

So why would we appoint you as a leader into a new world.

You need some lessons in communicating my friend, as your message ends up getting lost in a sea of bitterness.

How dare you tell me who and how I am? You don't have a clue, not a clue.

If I thought you were capable of human feelings I would suspect you have a crush on me, why else would you go on like this?

Oh because I am the spokesperson now? Yeah right, whatever you say Jerk.

Say that reminds me, you did say you were a twisted freak, but being the moron half wit I am, I guess I had hope for you.

Now get out of my face, I have real work to do.

I have a pie, my neighbours can't afford dessert of any kind.

I give the whole pie to them. The kids are happy.

I don't wear my selfishness on my waist. I'm happy. I go to bed and sleep well.

My neighbours save their money and open a pie shop. They donate extra pies to the food bank. More kids are happy.

They sleep well at night...

Looks like you got your ass deleted JD.

Time to change your IP address...again.

My comments were deleted again. Thats twice in 2 weeks. Three times in a month. Half a dozen for the year so far. Surely, the problem must have been with the blocked out profanity or name calling of other users. Afterall, what other reason could this site (directly affiliated with NBC -The Brangelina Network) possibly have to delete them? My sincere apologies. I will gladly re-post the same comments with no name calling and no profanity. Out of respect for Ivillage and NBC of course. So here they are again.

Ellen. You epitomize the ignorance of our society. This was nothing but a calculated PR stunt. One which was publicized on the major networks on Friday. THE SAME DAY ANGIE'S NEW MOVIE PREMIERED. In case you havn't heard, that movie groased $51,000,000 over the weekend. Thats FIFTY ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN THE FIRST 72 HOURS AFTER BRAD AND ANGIE PUBLICIZED THEIR LATEST CONTRIBUTION TO CHARITY. Which by the way constitutes less than 5% of their combined income so far for their latest two projects. Thats two movies which show nationwide as we speak. Two movies which will surely net a 9 figure PROFIT for their respective studeos. Now do the math. Nine figures. Thats at least $100,000,000. Thats at least 100 times the size of the latest Brangelina PR stunt. One which will garner them even more publicity worldwide, dumb down their ignorant fans, and still qualify as 'tax deductible'. Making them even richer in the process. See how this works yet? Didn't think so. Lets move on. I'm sure you've heard about the collapse of the US housing market, the global credit crunch, the stock market, the price of oil, and the current US recession. Havok which is literally causing millions of families to struggle and millions of innocent people to starve and die. Which by the way, I predicted in writing almost 3 years ago. On air well over 2 years ago. Well, this past week, another one of my predictions came true. The latest world wealth stats for '07' were released. Its official. The 1% club have increased their average bottom line wealth. AGAIN. Just like they have been year after year after year after year. Thats right. The rich are getting richer as we speak. Now, in order for you to understand the relevance, you will have to go to the refrigerator. Take out a pie and place it on the table. Call 9 of your friends over and offer them each a slice. But first cut that pie into 12 slices and take 6 for yourself. Tell your friends to share the rest. Whats that you say? That 6 slices don't feed 9 people? THATS THE WHOLE POINT I"VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE. But wait! You've been inspired by Brad and Angie! You'll save the day! You'll just follow their 'good' example and 'give back' 1 slice. HOORAY FOR ELLEN! THE GREATEST HUMANITARIAN OF ALL TIME! REJOICE! ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD! Whats that again? 2 of your friends still must go without? What could ever have gone wrong? Lets try this again. Take 7 slices for yourself and then give back two. HOORAY FOR ELLEN! REJOICE! What? 2 of your freinds still must go without? Huh? OK. Take 8 slices for yourself and 'give back' 3. Take 9 for yourself and 'give back' 4. 10 for yourself and 'give back' 5. 11 for yourself and 'give back' 6. TAKE THE WHOLE PIE AND GIVE BACK 7 SLICES. THATS RIGHT. GIVE BACK 70% OF YOUR PIE. Now, THAT oughta do it. Afterall, you 'gave back' 70% of your pie! That would make you even more 'generous' than Brad and Angie. A LOT MORE GENEROUS. Surely, your 'good will' was enough to solve the problem. Whats that? Those 2 friends still go without? NO WAY! How can this be? What is it that we've done wrong? Lets do the math. 12 slices. 10 people. Hmmm. I give up. There must be something wrong with your friends. Hey. Wait a minute. I heard about this guy by the name of Einstein. He dabbled in mathematics. Maybe, you've heard of him. No? I guess you wouldn't have. He didn't make and Hollywood movies as far as I know. But he did figure out how to solve this equation. Care to try his approach? Feeling crazy? Oh what the heck. Lets try his way. What have you got to loose? Afterall, you wouldn't want your friends to go hungry would you? Of course not. Being a 'humanitarian' and all. So lets try this. Tell your friends to help themselves and be sure to leave at least one slice for each friend who's plate is still empty. Then, take one slice for yourself. TA'DA. THE EQUATION HAS BEEN SOLVED. NO HUNGRY MOUTHS AND STILL 2 SLICES LEFT. So what do you do with those 2 slices? Well, you could take them for yourelf. You could leave them for the others to divy up. Compete for them. It really doesn't matter. What matters is that each person is allowed to have at least one slice. Not a single person goes hungry. The problem has been solved with one simple regulation. Go ahead. Try it again. and again. and again. and again. But never break that simple rule. You will find that no 'humanitarian effort' or 'giving back' is necessary. You will also find that 2 slices remain for he, she, or they with an extra appetite. But no individual eats more than 3 slices under any circumstances. Of course, this is a simple equation on a very small scale. But the points made are absolute.

THE ECONOMY IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT THEN ASK ANY PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS. PLAY A GAME OF MONOPOLY. LOOK UP WHAT EINSTEIN HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT. THE ECONOMY IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE.

THE ECONOMY IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT THEN ASK ANY PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS. PLAY A GAME OF MONOPOLY. LOOK UP WHAT EINSTEIN HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT. THE ECONOMY IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE.

THE ECONOMY IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT THEN ASK ANY PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS. PLAY A GAME OF MONOPOLY. LOOK UP WHAT EINSTEIN HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT. THE ECONOMY IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE. IT IS A PIE.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE HUMANITARIAN. I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH THESE PEOPLE GIVE BACK. THEY STILL KEEP WAY TOO MUCH. THE RICHEST 1% NOW OWN 1/2 OF ALL UNITED STATES WEALTH. THEY OWN OVER 40% OF ALL WORLD WEALTH. THE EQUATION GROWS MORE OFFSET AS WE SPEAK. IT ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT WORK THIS WAY. EXTREME WEALTH MAKES WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. WITHOUT WORLD PROSPERITY, THERE WILL NEVER BE WORLD PEACE OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL. Say that reminds me.

Don’t believe one optimistic word from any public figure about the economy or humanity in general. They are all part of the problem. Its like a game of Monopoly. In America, the richest 1% now hold 1/2 OF ALL UNITED STATES WEALTH. Unlike ‘lesser’ estimates, this includes all stocks, bonds, cash, and material assets held by America’s richest 1%. Even that filthy pig Oprah acknowledged that it was at about 50% in 2006. Naturally, she put her own ‘humanitarian’ spin on it. Calling attention to her own ‘good will’. WHAT A DISGUSTING HYPOCRITE SLOB. THE RICHEST 1% HAVE LITERALLY MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. Don’t fall for any of their ‘humanitarian’ CRAP. ITS A SHAM. THESE PEOPLE ARE CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS THEY PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT. Ask any professor of economics. Money does not grow on trees. The government can’t just print up more on a whim. At any given time, there is a relative limit to the wealth within ANY economy of ANY size. So when too much wealth accumulates at the top, the middle class slip further into debt and the lower class further into poverty. A similar rule applies worldwide. The world’s richest 1% now own over 40% of ALL WORLD WEALTH. This is EVEN AFTER you account for all of this ‘good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS from celebrities and executives. ITS A SHAM. As they get richer and richer, less wealth is left circulating beneath them. This is the single greatest underlying cause for the current US recession. The middle class can no longer afford to sustain their share of the economy. Their wealth has been gradually transfered to the richest 1%. One way or another, we suffer because of their incredible greed. We are talking about TRILLIONS of dollars which have been transfered FROM US TO THEM. All over a period of about 27 years. Thats Reaganomics for you. The wealth does not ‘trickle down’ as we were told it would. It just accumulates at the top. Shrinking the middle class and expanding the lower class. Causing a domino effect of socio-economic problems. But the rich will never stop. They just keep getting richer. Leaving even less of the pie for the other 99% of us to share. At the same time, they throw back a few tax deductible crumbs and call themselves ‘humanitarians’. Cashing in on the PR and getting even richer the following year. IT CAN’T WORK THIS WAY. Their bogus efforts to make the world a better place can not possibly succeed. Any 'humanitarian' progress made in one area will be lost in another. EVERY SINGLE TIME. IT ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT WORK THIS WAY. This is going to end just like a game of Monopoly. The current US recession will drag on for years and lead into the worst US depression of all time. The richest 1% will live like royalty while the rest of us fight over jobs, food, and gasoline. So don’t fall for any of this PR CRAP from Hollywood, Pro Sports, and Wall Street PIGS. ITS A SHAM. Remember: They are filthy rich EVEN AFTER their tax deductible contributions. Greedy pigs. Now, we are headed for the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time. Crime, poverty, and suicide will skyrocket. SEND A “THANK YOU” NOTE TO YOUR FAVORITE MILLIONAIRE. ITS THEIR FAULT. I’m not discounting other factors like China, sub-prime, or gas prices. But all of those factors combined still pale in comparison to that HUGE transfer of wealth to the rich. Anyway, those other factors are all related and further aggrivated because of GREED. If it weren’t for the OBSCENE distribution of wealth within our country, there never would have been such a market for sub-prime to begin with. Which by the way, was another trick whipped up by greedy bankers and executives. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. The credit industry has been ENDORSED by people like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGenerous, Dr Phil, and many other celebrities. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. Now, there are commercial ties between nearly every industry and every public figure. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for their ‘good will’ BS. ITS A LIE. If you fall for it, then you’re a fool. If you see any real difference between the moral character of a celebrity, politician, attorney, or executive, then you’re a fool. No offense fellow citizens. But we have been mislead by nearly every public figure. WAKE UP PEOPLE. THEIR GOAL IS TO WIN THE GAME. The 1% club will always say or do whatever it takes to get as rich as possible. Without the slightest regard for anything or anyone but themselves. Reaganomics. Their idea. Loans from China. Their idea. NAFTA. Their idea. Outsourcing. Their idea. Sub-prime. Their idea. High energy prices. Their idea. Oil 'futures'. Their idea. Obscene health care charges. Their idea. The commercial lobbyist. Their idea. The multi-million dollar lawsuit. Their idea. The multi-million dollar endorsement deal. Their idea. $200 cell phone bills. Their idea. $200 basketball shoes. Their idea. $30 late fees. Their idea. $30 NSF fees. Their idea. $20 DVDs. Their idea. Subliminal advertising. Their idea. Brainwash plots on TV. Their idea. Vioxx, and Celebrex. Their idea. The MASSIVE campaign to turn every American into a brainwashed, credit card, pharmaceutical, love-sick, celebrity junkie. Their idea. All of the above shrink the middle class, concentrate the world’s wealth and resources, create a dominoe effect of socio-economic problems, and wreak havok on society. All of which have been CREATED AND ENDORSED by celebrities, athletes, executives, entrepreneurs, attorneys, and politicians. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for any of their ‘good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS. ITS A SHAM. NOTHING BUT TAX DEDUCTIBLE PR CRAP. In many cases, the 'charitable' contribution is almost entirely offset. Not to mention the opportunity to plug their name, image, product, and 'good will' all at once. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. These filthy pigs even have the nerve to throw a fit and spin up a misleading defense with regard to 'federal tax revenue'. ITS A SHAM. THEY SCREWED UP THE EQUATION TO BEGIN WITH. If the middle and lower classes had a greater share of the pie, they could easily cover a greater share of the federal tax revenue. They are held down in many ways because of greed. Wages remain stagnant for millions because the executives, celebrities, athletes, attorneys, and entrepreneurs, are paid millions. They over-sell, over-charge, under-pay, outsource, cut jobs, and benefits to increase their bottom line. As their profits rise, so do the stock values. Which are owned primarily by the richest 5%. As more United States wealth rises to the top, the middle and lower classes inevitably suffer. This reduces the potential tax reveue drawn from those brackets. At the same time, it wreaks havok on middle and lower class communities and increases the need for financial aid. Not to mention the spike in crime because of it. There is a dominoe effect to consider. IT CAN'T WORK THIS WAY. But our leaders refuse to acknowledge this. Instead they come up with one trick after another to milk the system and screw the majority. These decisions are heavily influensed by the 1% club. Every year, billions of federal tax dollars are diverted behind the scenes back to the rich and their respective industries. Loans from China have been necessary to compensate in part, for the red ink and multi-trillion dollar transfer of wealth to the rich. At the same time, the feds have been pushing more financial burden onto the states who push them lower onto the cities. Again, the hardship is felt more by the majority and less by the 1% club. The rich prefer to live in exclusive areas or upper class communities. They get the best of everything. Reliable city services, new schools, freshly paved roads, upscale parks, ect. The middle and lower class communities get little or nothing without a local tax increase. Which, they usually can't afford. So the red ink flows followed by service cuts and lay-offs. All because of the OBSCENE distribution of bottom line wealth in this country. So when people forgive the rich for their incredible greed and then praise them for paying a greater share of the FEDERAL income taxes, its like nails on a chalk board. I can not accept any theory that our economy would suffer in any way with a more reasonable distribution of wealth. Afterall, it was more reasonable 30 years ago. Before Reaganomics came along. Before GREED became such an epidemic. Before we had an army of over-paid executives, bankers, celebrities, athletes, attorneys, doctors, investors, entrepreneurs, developers, and sold-out politicians to kiss their asses. As a nation, we were in much better shape. Strong middle class, free and clear assets, lower crime rate, more widespread prosperity, stable job market, lower deficit, ect. Our economy as a whole was much more stable and prosperous for the majority. WITHOUT LOANS FROM CHINA. Now, we have a more obscene distribution of bottom line wealth than ever before. We have a sold-out government, crumbling infrastructure, energy crisis, home forclosure epidemic, 13 figure national deficit, and 12 figure annual shortfall. The cost of living is higher than ever before. Most people can't even afford basic health care. ALL BECAUSE OF GREED. I really don't blame the 2nd -5th percentiles in general. No economy could ever function without some reasonable scale of personal wealth and income. But it can't be allowed to run wild like a mad dog. ALBERT EINSTEIN TRIED TO MAKE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND. UNBRIDLED CAPITALISM ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT WORK. TOP HEAVY ECONOMIES ALWAYS COLLAPSE. Bottom line: The richest 1% will soon tank the largest economy in the world. It will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before. The American dream will be shattered. and thats just the beginning. Greed will eventually tank every major economy in the world. Causing millions to suffer and die. Oprah, Angelina, Brad, Bono, and Bill are not part of the solution. They are part of the problem. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE HUMANITARIAN. EXTREME WEALTH MAKES WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. WITHOUT WORLD PROSPERITY, THERE WILL NEVER BE WORLD PEACE OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL. Of course, the rich will throw a fit and call me a madman.. Of course, they will jump to small minded conclusions about 'jealousy', 'envy', or 'socialism'. Of course, their ignorant fans will do the same. You have to expect that. But I speak the truth. If you don’t believe me, then copy this entry and run it by any professor of economics or socio-economics. Then tell a friend. Call the local radio station. Re-post this entry or put it in your own words. Be one of the first to predict the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time and explain its cause. WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.

By the way. I had a change in schedule for two weeks. Thats all. I'm here to stay. I fully expect Oprah, Angelina, Brad, Bono, and Bill to outlive me. But I will be around when the US depression hits. Like I've said many times, the current recession will lead right into it. I intend to spend my last day and my last breath condemning the 1% club for their incredible greed. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL. Another thing Ellen. Warren Buffet did not give the bulk of his fortune to charity. He made a pledge to. The difference is profound. But I don't expect you to see it.

BRAD AND ANGIE. You hypocrite pigs. I've been keeping track of your charity BS for over 3 years now. I know damn well that you've gotten a heavy return on every single 'donation'. But the transfer of wealth from middle class America to Hollywood will slow as the year goes on. Will this influense your decision to sell the baby photos for charity? Will the $15,000,000 go to a top rated charity or your own foundation? All of it? Half? Do you intend to squander the bulk on PR campaigns, personal jet rides, and high end accomodatons? Whatever you choose, I intend to take a closer look, do the math, and let your ignorant fans know how it all boils down. You may have heard my criticism of you on talk radio. Like I said, if you are going to dumb down your ignorant fans, then I'll just have to smarten them up. Not that I'm much of an expert on anything. But I see right through the two of you. You are not humanitarians, environmentalists, or even devoted parents. You are amoung the most vile, rotten, disgusting, hypocrite slobs, the world has ever seen. I intend to see that you go down in history that way. I'll never break any laws. But I will set the record straight. You filthy pigs are not part of the solution. You are part of the problem.

One last thing. I know the original post was more extreme. But no threats were made. No laws were broken. If anything, it was a simple violation of site rules. Nothing more. If any attempt is made to re-define my words, intentions, or state of mind to any legal authority, I will volunteer for a polygraph and challenge everyone involved. I will defend myself all the way to the Supreme court. I will sue everyone involved and give the entire reward to charity. I will see to it that tens of thousands read the entire transcript. Like I've said many times. I am not paranoid or insane. But I am terribly outnumbered. The 1% club has incredible wealth, influense, and ABSOLUTE MOTIVE to shut me down. You can't just condemn the most powerfull people in the world and expect to get away with it. But I will not be intimidated. Like I said before, I've been planning this for 3 years. I will not break any laws. But I will set the record straight. We are now entering what will soon become the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time. Oprah, Angelina, Brad, Bono, and Bill are not part of the solution. They are part of the problem. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL.

If I epitomize the ignorance of society, then how would you label yourself?

A kind and compassionate savior/prophet? One whose intentions for good are clear, who's focus is to save the common people from the evil 1%?

Then I suggest you develop some of those traits first, then maybe just maybe more people would be inclined to hear you out. To do that however you must first learn the definition of compassion as I don't think you know that concept. I forgive you for that though, as it can be learned, and it can be taught. All it takes is the desire to understand those you would help.

Just saying, your ideology doesn't stand up well, because you don't have real compassion for the people you are so obsessed with saving from themselves...and because you have said you it won't happen anyway, but after the fall of modern society, you will there to explain what happened and to give us a big "I told you so!"

Just what people who have just lost it all need to hear.

You are a jerk, that much is clear, and not very well suited for a prophet...just my opinion and exercising my right to free speech. Notice how it was not necessary for me to hate or force my way or the highway on you to send this message.

Another thing JD, Warren Buffet DID make the largest donation in history to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation..it is a done deal like it or not.

The pledge is for the remainder of his fortune excluding funds set up for his daughter and whatever else he chooses to do with his money, when he passes on.

Now this will drive you insane ~ Look up the the Gates foundation, what they support and how they make the bulk of their money...

Then look at your computer...how much have you given to microsoft in your time ? Then multiply that number by x
( the masses ) on the internet and using microsoft products.

Frightening isn't it?

Ellen. You're still missing the point. One word. PIE. Like I said. You don't get it and you never will. Again. Warren Buffet did not give the bulk of his fortune to charity. He made a pledge to. You just acknowledged that and made the correction on yourself. Go back and read it again. Don't confuse my frustration with you (Which by the way, is damn well justified. I want a reasonable distribution of wealth and resource. You don't.) with a lack of compassion for people in general. I don't want you or the rest of my critics to suffer. I want you to wise up and see the truth. Like I said before. Its simple math. About my cause. There is no 'nice' way to deal with greed. Like I said. I've had it with these pigs. Anyway. I'm making progress. and I'm just getting started.

You're a freaking PIE.

hey Ellen ~ you never get it... DO YOU??? i never said anything BAD about ladies coming from india --- i just stated that if you put HOLEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee in a line up of Indian ladies she would just blend in with them!!! there's nothing EXTRAORDINARY about HOLEeeeeeeeeeeeeee's looks --- her looks are soooooooooooooooo COMMON and ordinary in that country... IDIOTA!!!!!!!!!!!!! what i am TRYING to get at is the fact that some of your kind find her fascinating because her looks only seem to STAND OUT among all the BLONDES/BLUE EYED BEAUTIES of this country!!! in short, HOLEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is NOT EXCEPTIONAL... STUPIDA --- it's you who have to TAKE A BREAK and while you're at it... MAGHUGAS KA NA NG PEKPEK 'cuz i can smell you from here!!!!! BRUHA.

another thing Ellen... I AM NOT MISERABLE --- i just DO NOT LIKE the likes of HOLEeeeeeeee and B sPITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT (specially people who are EASILY FOOOOOOOOOOOOOLED by the GRUESOME TWOSOME!!!) and besides i got nothing better to do, soooooooooooo i go here to MESS with all your freakin' HEADS!!!!!

Why Maria!

What the...kind of language is that?

Not to tick you off or anything, but you did say that "they all look the same" in reference to ladies from India.

I have visited India twice, met lots of Indian women from different states of their country and no they do not look alike. Some of their fashion maybe but not the people.

You should go and look for yourself first before you decide.

Just a suggestion.

Yeah, time for a break...peace dude.

What do you mean by "your kind" what kind is that?

Strange phrase that one.

Ellen. I'll save you the trouble. Last week, you posted the following comment about Warren Buffet. "Warren Buffett donated 85% of his assets/stock to the B and M Gates Foundation, I believe in 2006 or 07.". I responded with this. "Warren Buffet did not give the bulk of his fortune to charity. He made a pledge to. The difference is profound." The bulk I refered to was your claim of 85%. At the time Bill Gates was still the richest man in the world with a fortune of around $60,000,000,000 (60 BN). Warren Buffet was in 2nd or 3rd place as I recall. Now, Warren Buffet holds the title with a fortune of around $62,000,000,000 (62 BN). How can this be? I'll tell you how. A pledge and donation are two different things. Otherwise, that 'good will' would have knocked him right out of the running. Right down near the bottom of the Forbes 400. Which by the way, is for billionaires only. Your hero is a pig. I can't say much for you either. You know damn well what I stand for. Its not popularity, image, status, attention, social grace, or a battle of 'wit'. Its not for personal gain of any kind. Its for a legitimate cause. A reasonable distribution of wealth and resources. Enough to achieve some degree of world prosperity. This will NEVER happen until the people acknowledge greed for what it has become. The single greatest obstacle. Even after 6 months, you still defend the bad guys. You obviously care much more for public figures than you do for the masses who are taken advantage of. Much more for the smile of a movie star than for the tears of an innocent starving child. More impressed with the speech of a Hollywood humanitarian than with the analysis of a professor, economist, scientist, or independent researcher. You still take the word of Angelina over Einstein. Pathetic. Like I said, you epitomize the ignorance of our society. When you're not kissing 1% club ass, you're stabbing at me with one attack, debate, or psychological trick after another. Leaving me no choice but to respond. Otherwise, I would appear to be spineless, mistaken, or confused. In which case, the cause I stand for would be jeapordized. Well, it won't work. I'm sworn to the cause. I will not make the slightest compromise in ethic or attitude. Greed is pure evil. Those who epitomize it suck. I despise every single one of them. Those who forgive it range from ignorant to downright stupid. I'll be tolerant but only to a certain extent. If that makes me a jerk, fine. I'm a jerk. THAT DOESN'T MATTER. The message will be heard regardless. Like I said, I have a detailed plan and I'm following through with it. My goal is not to save the world. My goal is to address the greatest injustice of all time and explain its underlying cause. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL.

By the way. I also make the occasional mistake. The percentage I refered to in the pie analogy should have been 58%. I'll make the correction next time.
