USA: GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
Welcome. This is a resource page with all important government websites that individuals, government leaders and business owners need to know about nowadays. After publishing The Global Financial Crisis Manifesto — A Warning by A Genius Consultant in April 21, 2019 I noticed a huge, enourmous amount of fraud happening online using the name of government agencies and government organizations. Fake websites posing as government websites for Phishing purposes, Fake military websites using the EXACT SAME DOMAIN NAME but ending with .com (commercial) instead, among other very serious cases. True, honest people — especially us christians — will go to proper channels first to solve our problems since we believe in doing the right thing and having an organized society. But once those channels are being spoofed and faked — and GOOGLE is ranking these fake websites 1st on its Search Results instead of the official channels (?!?!) — then it’s clear that something shady is going on which prompted me to take additional action and publish this resource. Another problem I have been seeing is the rise of corrupt government agents thinking they can act freely as criminals now, and also fake government agents. Yes, another harsh reality. We have more monkeys to deal with. But once again, I believe in good people working for the government and I also believe that governments themselves can clean up their own mess, since we entrepreneurs already have to deal with criminal Big Tech and go to war against them nowadays. Finally, I think that part of these fake websites may have been created by Intelligence Agencies themselves, as some sort of “Honey Pot online structure” built to investigate and capture criminal individuals worldwide. After all, let’s remember that we do live in a world where the government itself goes up against its own people, creating countless anti-business laws, teaming up with corrupt corporations and corrupt businesspeople and establishing monopolies/duopolies, mismanaging and stealing government money that should go to HealthCare, Public Safety, Education and more. Ultimately, this resource page will become handy when World War III begins, since we will all need critical information about a sector of a country (like Energy, Water Supply etc) or when we will need to find a country’s online channel or resource to file some complaint/lawsuit or whatever. Therefore, let’s use the proper government channels as much as possible — unless the day comes that it all doesn’t work anymore. But until that day comes, here they are. Enjoy the resources.

A WARNING
TARGET AUDIENCE: CEOs, Entrepreneurs, Individuals, Government Leaders
IMPORTANT: The majority of the government websites here (and related government organizations) are basically the main parts of the government that can be used to support a business owner and his/her company, both in a time of a Global Financial Crisis as in a time of a World War. It’s about knowing a country’s complete infrastructure that may need to be used if problems arise. For instance, if you have a problem with a TELECOM company, which government agency do you go to, to file a complaint, a report or a lawsuit in that particular country? If something happens to the telecom company you use then your business is basically offline, as we are all operating under the infrastructure of a few telecom companies (worldwide). If your city just experienced a blackout and thus has no energy anymore, which government agency do you go to in order to check for your energy status? And what communication channels can be used in the meantime? International entrepreneurs and business leaders need all those answers in a heartbeat.

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES LIST
The list displays the latest added government agency by PETERSON TEIXEIRA on the end of the list. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the agency is less important or less relevant than all the other most well-known government agencies because sometimes you may simply need The Postal Service of a country, for instance. The objective here is to gather all must-know government websites in order to see ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE that a country has available online for online businesses (and government leaders and individuals). Knowing what online infrastructure is available to assist your business operations is the goal here, and not rank agencies.

The Links below are just so you can jump straight to the website and its general information.
