$1 trillion in money, services, free trips, and other giveaways
Did you know that the U.S. government is "committed" to distribute more than $1 trillion in money, services, free trips, and other giveaways?
According to our inside source, it's true!
Despite the budget battles and sequester, that money is still there and has already been allocated. On a percentage basis, every family's share of the pie comes to around $20,500. What's more, only 12% of the money in these programs is designated for the poor.
Many people mistakenly believe that you have to be destitute to receive government money and giveaways. However, the truth is that a larger percentage of rich people than poor people are eligible for government money — such as 100% fully paid "cultural exchange" trips to other countries.
Unfortunately, most people don't even know about the thousands of government-giveaway programs available to them. That's because most of these programs are funded by Washington but administered through either the states or little-known organizations — and 75% of the programs have no income thresholds.
Of the $1 trillion in free government money given away each year, only about $378 billion is distributed as grants. The rest is distributed as direct payments, venture capital, or special "loans" you do not have to pay back.
You can't find these programs on Google. Most government officials often don't even know these programs exist. That's why many ordinary people miss out — and let the tiny handful of "connected" folks get all the freebies.
Literally BILLIONS in free money and bargain adventures go unclaimed every year!

Top US Military Official Repeatedly Warned Iraq About Troops??? Conduct
America’s top military official, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, repeatedly warned Iraqi leaders about the conduct of both the Iraqi military and the militias that fight alongside them, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.
The Iraqi government says it has launched an investigation into alleged atrocities committed by Iraqi troops and Shia militias, some captured in a trove of images and footage found online, as revealed in an ABC News investigation Wednesday. Today State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said the images amounted to “disturbing and serious allegations.”
“This behavior is clearly – you know – their behavior must be above reproach or they risk being painted with the same brush as ISIL [ISIS] fighters and certainly that’s a message that we are making clear,” Psaki told reporters today.
[A bound and blindfolded detainee appears to be dropped – or possibly hung from the neck according to one analyst -- from what looks like an Iraqi military base guard tower. The image was posted on Instagram.]
A senior military official with the Joint Staff disclosed to ABC News last week that “certain Iraqi units” had been denied military aid and assistance on the basis of “credible information in the past” –- the result of what’s known as the Leahy Law, named for Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, and designed to keep the U.S. from directly funding units who commit human rights abuses.
The U.S. has blocked aid to the un-named Iraqi units under the Leahy Law since American troops returned to Iraq in August and began supporting government forces and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters with airstrikes against ISIS jihadists, the senior official said.
ABC News first showed administration officials, as well as Leahy, dozens of examples of social media images posted by members of Iraqi Security Forces and their supporters last fall. Some administration officials downplayed it as not widespread or involving Baghdad’s military, but Leahy was incensed.
“The Leahy Law is clear and sets a minimum standard. If there is credible information that foreign security forces have committed the worst crimes – such as torture, killings of civilians, rape, or executions of prisoners – then they are not eligible for U.S. aid unless the individuals involved are being appropriately punished,” Sen. Leahy said this week.
Iraqi Army spokesperson, Gen. Saad Maan, told ABC News after viewing some of the images that were posted online that “of course” Iraq will investigate.
“We don’t have anything to hide,” the general said. “We don’t have anything to be in, let’s say, in a black corner.”

16 Ski Resorts Worth Hundreds of Millions Could Be Sold
A real estate investment trust that’s considering getting out of the snow business could sell more than dozen ski resorts from Maine to California that are worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
CNL Lifestyle Properties owns 16 resorts including Sunday River and Sugarloaf in Maine, Bretton Woods, Loon Mountain and Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire, Okemo Mountain in Vermont, Crested Butte in Colorado, Brighton in Utah, and Sierra-at-Tahoe in California.
If CNL sells them all to one buyer, industry officials say it would be the largest single ski resort transaction in the history of the sport — though skiers might not notice the sale at all.
CNL will evaluate options for its remaining properties including ski resorts, theme parks and marinas “in the near future,” said Steve Rice, senior managing director of CNL Financial Group. Besides selling them, alternatives include a private buyout or listing on a publicly traded exchange.
“We’re taking a studied and careful approach,” Rice said.
REITs are an investment vehicle for a variety of properties including hotels, office buildings and malls, but they are new to the ski industry in the last 15 or so years. There’s only one other REIT that’s a big player in the ski industry, Missouri-based EPR, said Michael Berry, president of the National Ski Areas Association.
CNL Lifestyle Properties was valued at as much as $3 billion in 2012 with ownership of more than 100 water parks, ski resorts, marinas and senior housing developments before the value dropped in the aftermath of a real estate downturn.
The REIT is nearing the end of its projected lifespan and anticipates having an “exit strategy” in place by Dec. 31. In June, CNL agreed to sell 48 golf properties for $320 million. In December, it announced an agreement to sell its senior housing for $790 million.
Ideally, the remaining ski properties, theme parks and marinas would be sold, and the company enlisted Jefferies LLC, an investment bank, to evaluate options.
Any sale wouldn’t have any significant impact on skiers because the resort operators’ long-term leases will remain in place even if the properties change hands.
“At the end of the day, from a customer standpoint, it’s not going to alter reality that much,” Berry said.
Ski resorts, which are at the mercy of weather and the economy, can be good investments as long the owners have a long investment horizon, said Michael Krongel from Mirus Resort Capital in Burlington, Massachusetts, who’s been involved in buying, selling and developing ski resorts for 45 years.
REITs like Florida-based CNL bring in revenue through rent paid by ski resort operators like Michigan-based Boyne Resorts, which holds long-term leases for Sunday River, Sugarloaf and Loon Mountain.
A Boyne official said skiers needn’t worry about the potential sale of their beloved ski mountains.
“For the skier, it’s a nonevent,” said Steve Kircher, president of eastern operations for Boyne, which will remain the lease holder, regardless of ski resort ownership, for several more decades.
Bob Rogowsky, who skies 70 to 80 days a year at Sunday River, said most skiers are pleased with the investments that have been made since CNL bought the resort and Boyne began running it in 2007.
He’s confident enough in the stability of the resort that he recently bought a retirement home in the area.
“I wouldn’t have made that kind of financial commitment and lifetime commitment if I didn’t believe there was stability and a good future,” Rogowsky said.
