Orwell Brilliance On Exhibit

Monument Madness

More at Gateway Pundit

Attention Required

The Washington Post is out this evening with a story that has the mainstream media, and Democrats in collusion, on fire.

Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador--Washington Post

Among the most concerned is Patrick Leahy, who is commonly referred to as Leak Leahy, as he once divulged classified information himself. And then he did it again!

So, from the completely discredited and partisan Washington Post, tonight breaks a fabricated story with "anonymous sources" burning up the news media in an effort to discredit President Trump.

For those who don't read newspapers written by Winston Smith, it would be beneficial for us to revisit and fully comprehend some FACTS:

1. Hillary Clinton and her Clinton Foundation orchestrated a deal for profit to sell uranium to Russia, jeopardizing our national security. She should be in jail.

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal 

2. Former president Barack Obama, who without congressional approval assisted the Iranians in breaking international laws escalating their ambitions of nuclear weapons, aiding and abetting a sworn enemy of this nation in what could only be classified as an act of Treason.

Obama’s hidden Iran deal giveaway

The ruling class elite, working in unison with the mainstream media, who direct the narrative for the democrats, and even some in the GOP intoxicated with power, will employ Saul Alinsky's tactic of achieving goals by "any means necessary."

The goal is to render President Trump ineffective, limiting him in his quest to wrestle power away from this collection of elites and return it the people.

Sadly, we are not too far removed from two other presidents who attempted this act of merit, both of which took a bullet, one fatally.

We are not playing canasta out here folks. Those who champion government control over the people are playing for keeps.

You are in perhaps a lethal fight to keep the liberty and freedom you were given from God as a citizen of this divinely inspired nation.

Your undivided attention is required.

Sea Sick

As art is appearing to imitate life, this outstanding piece engages in compare and contrast examination of Huxley's "Brave New World" and Orwell's "1984," a fascinating topic we relish investigation of.

The brilliance of both cannot be overstated; however, we have ever so slightly sided with Huxley in being most accurate, simply based on his contention the citizenry would be intoxicated on a sea of irrelevance.

More people appear to know the daily schedule of the Kardashians than the name of their Congressman; a painful truth to absorb.

Prisons of Pleasure or Pain: Huxley’s “Brave New World” vs. Orwell’s “1984”

Rubio Right On Obama

Marco Rubio is getting rocked for being "robotic" and having canned commentary. The news media, even FOX News, the establishment and other candidates are trashing Rubio. Fine, but it is Senator Rubio who is correct; Obama is gleefully orchestrating the destruction of America as founded.

Nobody seems willing to attack Obama, but there is little problem going after Rubio.

An intellectual elite with a big time chip on his shoulder, through his successful efforts, President Obama is bringing his ideas on wealth transformation, open borders and social justice while diminishing America, who he deems an oppressor, down to the level of the rest of the world.

Upon completion of his term, we conclude he will seek the position of UN Secretary General, because his talents cannot be only limited to the shores of our fruited plain.  He will effort, in his mind boggling arrogance, seek to rule the world.

He is achieving many of his goals here in America.  It is most distressful to note that, like we are reading from the pages of George Orwell's Animal Farm, it appears we are actually living on the Animal Farm.  We continuously send representatives to Washington with one simple task; stop Obama.

They fail, miserably, over and over again.

Note comments made by Rush Limbaugh noting a quote he learned of from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.  "The Senate Majority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell, has just said there will be no stopping Obama's agenda, because to criticize Obama makes us look bad. What the hell is this campaign gonna be about if not that?"

With folks like this slime ball McConnell in the GOP, is it any wonder our nation is in such disrepair.

GOP front runner Donald Trump has often labeled Obama incompetent, but that is naive and stupid; also quite incorrect.  But why are Rubio, and Sen. Ted Cruz, the only candidates that will accurately portray Obama for the anti-American president he so arrogantly is?

Rush Limbaugh, The Truth Detector, knows.

Rush Limbaugh accurately stated “Rubio’s point is that “Obama’s not incompetent, he’s not inexperienced, he’s doing exactly what he wants to do and none of these Republican moderates will go there. You want to know why? You want to know why? You want to know why they cannot agree that Obama is doing this on purpose? It’s very simple. They cannot agree that Obama is doing it on purpose, they do not dare say that Obama is doing it on purpose, because they have all worked with Barack Obama.”

BAM! Take it to the bank, or in this case, the voting booth!!!

Rush Limbaugh, The Truth Detector

The Real Question: Why Won't Anyone But Rubio and Cruz Say Obama Is Destroying the Country on Purpose?

A Horrifying Agenda

BARACK OBAMA TO BECOME LEADER OF THE WORLD!

Although the rhetoric is often ambiguous, bordering on Orwellian doublespeak, behind the scenes the actions undertaken by President Obama, which are most successfully masked by the mainstream media, allow it reasonable to conclude "Obama wants to destroy traditional America which he sees as evil, paternalistic, imperialistic, bullying and unfair. His goal is to rebuild the country as a socialist state, a utopia where all [globally] receive the same outcomes regardless of merit and effort".

"Obama wants to destroy traditional America which he sees as evil, paternalistic, imperialistic, bullying and unfair. His goal is to rebuild the country as a socialist state, a utopia where all receive the same outcomes regardless of merit and effort".

As we have previously noted, Obama will fit right in as UN Secretary General following his horrendous presidency. In fact, since we originally posted about this, stories have speculating about this have now made the national media.

As we wrote in June, "Against the will of the people, in a cloud of secrecy, another attempt to pass Obamatrade, by both parties, is coming. Sen. Jeff Sessions, (R:AL) is warning America, as a significant loss of her sovereignty will occur should Obamatrade pass. It is a "living agreement" with global governance, which means America would adhere to rules from partner nations as they, not us, see fit.

Can you envision Obama as UN Chief in a few years further diminishing the power and status in the world and transferring the wealth of America to nations he deems in need?

Sadly, I sure can.

Obama is poised to lead the UN, who has just adopted Agenda 2030, a blueprint for global socialism and governance which attacks America as founded.  With Obama having signed away much of Uncle Sam's sovereignty through treaty, citizens of America will be forced to conform as freedoms of our citizenry become governed by unelected global bureaucrats who aim to expanded control through central planning for the greater good.

"In addition to addressing climate change, it also sets ambitious goals for areas such as economics, health, energy, education, agriculture, gender equality and a whole host of other issues. As you will see below, this global initiative is being billed as a “new universal Agenda” for humanity. If you are anything like me, alarm bells are going off in your head right about now" said Michael Snyder of End of the American Dream blog.

Please review the 17 as presented by Michael Snyder:

The heart of the 2030 Agenda is a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals…

Goal 1

End poverty in all its forms everywhere

Goal 2

End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

 Goal 3

Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

Goal 4

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

 Goal 5

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

Goal 6

Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

Goal 7

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Goal 8

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

 Goal 9 

Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation Goal 10 Reduce inequality within and among countries

 Goal 11

 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

 Goal 12

 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

 Goal 13

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*

 Goal 14 

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

Goal 15

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

 Goal 16

Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

 Goal 17

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development 

On the surface, some of this stuff sounds great.  Who doesn't seek to end poverty and hunger? That is, until you find an progressive elitist seeking to govern your behavior. Recall the arrogance in Michael Bloomberg, who is no doubt looking out for you, seeking to limit the size of your Big Gulp?

Bloomberg, and progressives all, are of the school of thought that it is their responsibility to control though the citizenry by nudging behavior, limiting consumer choice and molding society into their Fabian socialist hearts content.

In actuality, this is really alarming stuff.  It is nothing short of theft of your individualism and freedom.

While you follow the email saga of Hillary Clinton, Globalists, of which she is one, are planning to significantly restrict your liberty and freedom, and American sovereignty, in an evil advertised effort to end poverty through owning economic and social production and activities through regulation. Every alarm bell you have should be ringing loudly, because your liberty and freedom is under direct attack.

Picture Obama as head of the UN post POTUS, using laws he illegally altered and treaties severing sovereignty he placed the US in adherence to, to have United Nations govern over the US.

As we have previously noted, Orwell's 1984 was not supposed to be an instruction manual.

It must never be forgotten, as Ronald Reagan said, "Man is not free unless government is limited".

The horrifying agendas Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are working on with the United Nations, without question, place significant reductions on your freedom and liberty.

Angry Voices Must Be Heard Loud And Clear

President Obama, after promising brevity, spoke for hours praising himself for his perceived successes while a growing majority of the nation has finally caught on to the incredible failure of his administration to deliver freedom and prosperity, delivering what should be his last State of the Union address.

Without question, in his arrogance, Obama no doubt thinks the American citizenry is stupid and that all the problems facing our nation are in fact our fault.

It really is amazing, in a Nineteen Eighty Four sort of way.

Nikki Haley
R: South Carolina

Nikki Haley, Governor of South Carolina, who I have never had issue with, gave the GOP response, and it was truly eye opening. While she was eloquent and made some sound points, she also traveled in a direction that no doubt torqued the conservative wing of the party.

"We learned last night that the Republican establishment is very comfortable identifying themselves as elites and members of a club -- and that you can't get in just by being who you are and doing what you want to do as a Republican and pursuing what you believe in" said Rush Limbaugh.

It appears the GOP establishment, worried by Donald Trump and petrified of Ted Cruz, is making it's move.

As reported by Dustin Ulsterman of The Ulsterman Report, who is on top of the political spectrum like few others, "The Republican Establishment’s choice to be the next President of the United States, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, is said to have sent operatives to engage in off the books discussions with South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley last month. The meeting was the brainchild of two significant Republican donors who have indicated a strong desire to see both Rubio and Haley sharing the GOP 2016 ticket."

"This morning Governor Haley told NBC she was “open” to finding herself running as a Vice President for the 2016 Republican ticket. Interestingly, Haley also said in that very same interview she was intentionally calling out Donald Trump for what she termed, “…the siren call of the angriest voices.” Both the interview and its subject matter would indicate Mrs. Haley is happily doing the bidding of the GOP Establishment."

Once again, the GOP establishment turns it guns on those aiming to disrupt the governance of the elite ruling class with far more resolve than an anti-American president who is orchestrating the transformation of America.

It should tell you everything you need to know, and if you value America as founded, you should hit the campaign trail and voting booth with superior resolve and urgency.

Your angry voices must be heard loud and clear, while we still have freedom of speech.

New Normal of Newspeak

Orwell's "newspeak" is alive and well.

Perhaps defined as an orchestrated manipulation of language, thought, action and perception for the advancement of an agenda with punitive damages inclusive of public ridicule for those in opposition, political correctness is destroying our nation.

Those who champion political correctness proclaim tolerance for everything, while aiming to discredit and diminish the traditional principles, morality and prosperity of our nation.

While our society is welcoming and forgiving in nature, our nation cannot allow avenues of political correctness to supersede our guaranteed rights. The new normal of "newspeak" must be reversed.

As our founders noted, free speech and freedom of thought must be protected at all costs, for the survival of our nation is at stake.

Winston Smith Lives

Winston Smith/1984

Recognize the guy pictured on the left?

If not, you may want to familiarize yourself with him in prompt fashion.

This is Winston Smith, the fictional character in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, a must read for everyone. Winston, shown at left in the film presentation, was the protagonist in the all too real story of governmental control and surveillance of the citizenry.

In the novel, at his desk, Smith worked as a clerk in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth, where his primary responsibility was to rewrite historical documents so they match the constantly changing current party line.

Changing our history.  Does that sound familiar?

 

Moving into a different place indeed this nation is.

Enter the Smithsonian.  Through their Smart News website, they wish to keep you current.

Smart News reported, snuggled nicely around the Thanksgiving holiday, that The Statue of Liberty Was Originally a Muslim Woman.

There is a very mixed message here, but the timely appearance of the story by the main stream media is not by accident of happenstance.  It NEVER is.

Given the immigration issue, in particular the refugees entering our country without any level of proper vetting, the media want to put a smiley face on the illegal immigrants entering our country; attempting to dictate your position on the issue.

The refugees are being placed with diversity in mind, which will assist the government in their social engineering efforts to change the ethnic, economic and class makeup of neighborhoods. The radical transformation of America continues, and the media want those orchestrating the transformation to have your support!

“Is the Statue of Liberty a Muslim woman? No, she’s not a Muslim woman,” Glenn Beck said on The Glenn Beck Radio Program. “Did it start with an Egyptian woman — a different statue? Yes.”

As reported accurately by Beck:

The Smithsonian’s claim arose from statue designer Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi’s initial design. Originally, after visiting Egypt in 1855, Bartholdi sought to create a statue of an Egyptian woman — who has been assumed Muslim — for the African country. 

The monument, tentatively named “Egypt Bringing Light to Asia,” was planned to be an 86-foot tall veiled and robed statue of a woman perched at the entrance of the Suez Canal, according to Smithsonian magazine. 

However, when Bartholdi was unsuccessful in pitching the sale to Egyptian leaders, who thought it was too expensive, he turned to the United States. Ultimately, Bartholdi scrapped his original idea in favor of designing a similar statue of a woman personifying liberty. 

Bartholdi worked with structural designer Alexandre-Gustav Eiffel on the new endeavor, which they named “Liberty Enlightening the World.” The Statue of Liberty, as it is known today, was intended to be a beacon for immigrants in search of the United States. 

 The iconic statue was gifted by France to the United States and officially unveiled Oct. 28, 1886, by then-President Grover Cleveland.

So, while it sounds half sort of accurate that Lady Liberty was Muslim when you say it fast, it actually is not.

But, for those hoping to transform our nation to, from than a nation that welcomes legal immigrants who seek a better life in America to an open society nation without borders allowing anyone and everyone to enter freely and reap all the entitlements available presented by a nation free falling into debt while engaged in suicide, it really helps to have your support.

And if you only  heard this story in passing, you might have just fallen for the mainstream media distortion of the facts.

All in a days work for Winston Smith, no doubt a hero to those in our government who seek the transformation of our nation, and that begins with you know who.

Yep, the anti-American with the big ears.

The Truth Be Told?

Have you heard of Arthur Melvin Okun?

I had to rattle my brain something bad awful to jog memory of this chap, but the outstanding website Zero Hedge not only recalled him, but put his economic theory to the test.  You see, Okun identified a correlation between GDP and the unemployment rate, and in doing so offered proof of data manipulation.

This thorough and illuminating piece is well worth your time and can be accessed at Zero Hedge.

THE REAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE HAS LONG BEEN OVER 12%!

All our readers should understand the information presented in this article. Shortly after election in 2009, Obama brought the Census Bureau under the direction of the White House. While most know about the efforts to reclassify voting districts to benefit Democrats, few are aware the Census, under contract from the Labor Department, conducts the household survey used to tabulate the unemployment rate.

Okun's Law Unemployment Rate/Zero Hedge

The government has been manipulating data and lying to the citizenry since the first jump in effort to pump up a recovery that does not exist. Imagine what else they lie about!

And when memory failed and written records were falsified—when that happened, the claim of the Party to have improved the conditions of human life had got to be accepted, because there did not exist, and never again could exist, any standard against which it could be tested."

---George Orwell, "Nineteen Eighty-Four"

The New Look

Privacy under the Obama administration is becoming extinct. 

It seems the citizenry does not much care, as many post daily activities on Facebook and Twitter accounts. Even private emails are game to become public.  It is all seemingly innocent, until someone thinks it is not, with the latest example involving the owner of the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association. The aftermath of such things is really getting out of hand.

Be careful. Big Brother Is Watching You. It's the new look.

Harsh Hope & Change

The level of arrogance in the oval office is reaching levels where comparisons in a probing of the memory banks find no rival.

 

Each day, as the envelope gets pushed farther and farther, more are beginning to recognize we have and imperial presidency, where our citizenry finds itself coming closer everyday to becoming full fledged members of the outer party, made famous in the 1949 George Orwell book 1984.

 

This level of arrogance presents a gold mine for late night hosts, who are not Obamabots, and those with sane mind, such as Micheal Ramirez, award winning editorial cartoonist for Investors Business Daily, who recognizes the great peril our country is in, with freedom and liberty escaping our grasp on seemingly a daily basis.

Michael Ramirez/Investors Business Daily
 

“That’s the good thing as a president, I can do whatever I want.” quipped President Barack Obama on February  10, 2014 while walking with French President Hollande prior to a meeting.  On a side note, can you imagine the French president having a political positioning to the right of our president.  Me neither.

 

Many are taking notice and wondering if the executive order actions taken by President Obama are indicative of the executive office acting without benefit of congressional backing or the will of the people.  You think?

 

Juan Williams of FOX News defends the President, noting that Obama has issued less of these than previous presidents.  However, in reality, even though Obama has a pen and phone, he rarely uses executive order on big things he cannot get congressional approval for.  He simply fails to adhere to laws, changes laws, or initiates governance through arms of the government, with an example being climate change legislation through the EPA.

 

This actions are simply lawlessness and in many ways a violation of our Constitution, and if placed on the other foot, those Obamabots would be literally setting the place on fire.  However, Few on the right seem fazed.

 

Dangerous precedent is being set,  but what is puzzling is that so many of the congressional members, from both parties, find this acceptable practice.  The congress enables itself to irrelevancy in effort to promote their progressive ideals.  This goes against the founders, who thought the separate powers would always work in their own best interest, a vehicle of protection of the separation of powers.

 

George Orwell

Victor Davis Hanson penned a recent column noting America has become an Orwellian nation of Obamathink.  In fact, it is a brave new world, where the pages of not only 1984 are coming to pass, but even Orwell's Animal Farm.   It really seems surreal to think such things, but sadly, evidence suggests our governance is leading us in this direction, the intellectual elite feeling it necessary to make our decisions for us
                                                                                          
The Democrats sent their folks in office to reverse the perceived evils they saw in George W. Bush only to have them magnified exponentially. This group consists of those who are Obamabots and opponents of our capitalist system or are drunk on irrelevance and fail to recognize it. 

 

Surveillance, the national debt and federal deficit, executive orders and transparency are only a few of the items where the Dems likely cannot tell the men from the animals.  I cannot either, but I can tell the intellectual elite progressives over the principled representatives of the citizenry and their liberty and freedom.

 

Nothing is real, and we are not strolling around Strawberry Fields. President Obama runs around "campaigning" against the results of action he himself has orchestrated.  It is in fact the Limbaugh Theorem.

 

This is quite simply unsustainable.  The lies will ultimately be exposed, the truths will emerge and reality of what has taken place in the last decade will be a bitter pill for most to swallow.  The damage to America, already taking shape, will be significant. 

 

For the average American, the most likely form of this damage will be a reduction in the standard of living, far beyond what has already occurred under Obama, from a serious financial event.  Many are presently predicting such an event, coming sooner than later.

 

1984 was not supposed to be an instructional manual.  America had better wake up soon, or we may soon be living a life similar to the one Winston Smith did, which was one without freedom and hope for the future. 

That would be some harsh hope and change, wouldn't it.

Power of the States

As the winds of Autumn prepare to blow over the gridiron fields across the fruited plain, for those of us who seek freedom and limited government, a stiff, sometimes sharp and biting, political wind has been in our face seemingly for decades.

For 100 years, the Progressives have been working diligently to "fundamentally transform" America, molding it to their hearts content. Not withstanding the presidency of Ronald Reagan, the wheels of transformation have been turning, and we are now coming to grips with which direction the wind is blowing.

While the parallels to George Orwell's 1984 novel are quite clear, it really is beyond that. The falsities presented on a daily basis in the mainstream news cycle is illustrative that common sense is absent, and in a more troubling development, the presentation of events are dictated by political influences with specific agendas.

The progressives have done their homework, and have welcomed the utilization of the insights and tactics of Edward Bernays, Saul Alinsky and Cass Sunstein. Through executive orders, legislation and media elements, public behavior in being nudged into an inescapable position of oppression. These mechanisms have allowed the government to introduce the public to new normals that are unnecessary in their existence, manipulating choice in effort to control the citizenry.

Certainly, that paints a grim picture of the future, but the most ominous aspect of this transformation is the failure our elected officials to adhere to the law. Under the Obama administration, there are many examples that can be presented to illustrate the administration operating outside the law. It was first exhibited when the GM bondholders were eliminated from the contract order of repayment of their bond investment, present when the DOJ failed to prosecute obvious voter intimidation by the Black Panthers in Philadelphia to recently picking and choosing which parts of Obamacare, legislation voted into law which violates our Constitution, will be delayed in implementation.

Once you have our government doing as they please without adherence to our laws, you indeed have nothing short of a banana republic. At that point, and we are here, drastic measure must be taken to preserve the great experiment handed to us by our divinely inspired Founding Fathers.

The Great One, Mark Levin, a Constitutional scholar and radio talk show host, joined Sean Hannity on "Hannity" on The FOX News Channel to discuss a radical, yet legal and intelligent, avenue for the citizenry to wrestle back control of our arrogant and lawless officials, sadly from both parties, running Washington DC. Take a listen:



Embarked upon by Woodrow Wilson, the road we are traveling portrayed by Stuart Chase has been slowly traversed by progressives, and the destination is sadly in sight. This is a resort of socialism, ripe with decay and void of incentive, hope and dignity for those on the outside looking in, alarming portrayed in Orwells' 1984. Perhaps Friedrich Hayek gave us the blueprint, noting how a society travels "The Road to Serfdom".



It will take an innovative and all inclusive effort to retard the momentum the progressives now have, but in order to preserve our nation, the fight must be engaged promptly. The ideas Levin presented, recognizing the power of the states, have strong merit, and BAHL Revere is hoping to sound the alarm in the spirit of  Paul Revere.

The times are just as dire.

Washington Web Cam

With the NSA government surveillance of the people, a scandal of  in extreme violation of the first amendment, growing exponentially by the day, it is clear that nothing you do can be deemed private. Smart phones, HD internet attached monitors and your personal computer can all be utilized, without your consent, to monitor your activities.

It is a Brave New World out there gang.  Welcome to 1984!  Beck is on top of it as usual:



This government, which clearly cannot be trusted, is on record utilizing this type of information against political opponents, as Tea Party and 9-12 groups, along with Mitt Romney donors, can attest.  Even Mitt Romney himself was attacked by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D:NV.

With the government having access to every computer keystroke, they can attack their political opponents with this information.  Most would not want the public to be privy to all Google searches you have implemented.

Oh my goodness!  All those porn searches!  That information, if noted, in violation of my civil rights, could be used against me.  The list of folks who might mount a congressional run may have just got significantly reduced, but there will be no affect to BAHL Revere.

I have some working knowledge regarding the porn industry, having been a longtime listener to The King of All Media, Howard Stern, where members of the industry are frequent guests and due to following financial markets.  About a dozen years ago, I had the occasion to meet Jenna Jameson, who appeared in Stern's movie Private Parts, and who is perhaps the most famous of all porn stars.

It is worth noting that many of the woman working in this industry these days are much better looking than you may think.  Although I am sure many are doing as they please, and some like Ms. Jameson had done quite well for themselves financially, you would hope they had higher aspirations in life than going down the road to being participatory in porn performance.



Drunna

Recent research noted that there are a handful of past performers who have come out of retirement to work again, perhaps most notably the actress Julia Ann.  Two stars I noted were a very decent looking woman seemingly in her mid thirties called Drunna, who looks like a soccer Mom, and a relatively new performer called Brooklyn Chase, who is real cute. One has to wonder what paths they took to become stars in the industry rather than living normal lives like the rest of us.  Maybe it is all about the desire to be famous; who knows.

By the way, as Mark Steyn pointed out sitting in for Rush last week, stars often get their names by using the town they grew up in and the name of their dog. Brooklyn Chase, you are busted!

Recently, I learned that members of the porn industry were being targeted in an unusual way; financial markets.  Business Insider reported that members of the porn industry were being denied business banking accounts and denied lending opportunities due their profession.

The article reports that porn star Chanel Preston learned her business checking account had been shut down because the bank was worried about the Webcam shows she had on her site and had revoked the account.

In addition, the article discusses a lawsuit filed by Marc Greenberg, of MRG Entertainment, against JP Morgan Chase, who claimed JP Morgan Chase denied him a loan because of his association in the adult entertainment industry, citing moral reasons.  The court system will aim to figure out whether Greenberg was in fact discriminated against.

The Business Insider article also referenced a CNBC report about web cam girls which noted film and video distribution is giving way to Internet sites and Web cams. As a result, barriers to entry in the industry are being lowered and more of the industry is being based out of homes and being run through small business arrangements and partnerships, necessitating banking services.

Sadly, the government is much more involved in our home business, in more ways than one, than we ever imagined.  Their unwarranted and illegal intrusion is a violation of the civil rights of our citizenry and must be appropriately and legally dealt with. This is one of several areas which exhibit that our government is completely out of control.

With the government lurking about in an Orwellian nature, it may be time to break off those relationships with the cam girls and shut down that web cam.  Big brother is watching.

Clocks Read Thirteen

George Orwell's "1984" was published 64 years ago today.

As someone has appropriately pointed out, it was not supposed to be an instructional manual. Are the clocks really striking thirteen?

Without question, we are blazing down this path. While President Obama is horrendous, orchestrating and cheerleading our journey there, be advised many republicans stand quietly beside him as "inner party" members aiming rule over the "proles", or working class citizens.

Breaking news seemingly on the hour of illegal government surveillance activities,  described as for the benefit of the citizenry, has arrived with fervor of a broken glass table.  Never ending wars and urban decay will come along for the ride.

Sound familiar?

An Issue of Character

The eruption of scandals in Washington is beyond disturbing.  Most Americans cannot quite reconcile that their government is not operating in their best interests.  Certainly, not one American welcomes the idea of pondering which side our government is on, certainly inclusive of our president.

Although some unfortunately did not, most of us all grew up with our parents and important figures in our lives teaching us the golden rule, common decency and what is right and what is wrong.  For many who were not fortunate to have a solid home base, these lessons were learned through sporting activities, clubs, schools or houses of worship.

Sadly, those in charge in Washington have no concept of common decency, and as Rep. Trey Gowdy, R:SC, so eloquently points out, lack the character necessary to be representatives and/or servants of the people. 

While the mainstream media sleeps, everyday the scandals deepen.  The testimony today about the lavish parties, conferences, line dances and parodies set off Gowdy, and he appropriately labels those in charge of, and participatory in, these grotesque wastes of taxpayer money as lacking character.



It all starts at the top.  The leadership in Washington, from the oval office on down, have not made mistakes regretting decisions that in retrospect seem inappropriate.  To the contrary. 

Those under oath, telling lies to no end in sarcastic fashion seemingly without a care in the world, seem to have a chip on their shoulder, perhaps knowing the higher ups have their back. I have always thought lying under oath meant jail time, but that seems to have been in a different time.

The answers under testimony are illustrative of the extreme level of arrogance held by these workers, and their disdain for the middle America working class they continuously claim to champion.  The level of disrespect for our rule of law is stunning, and there is no doubt, as we note the 64th anniversary of the printing of George Orwell's classic 1984, working Americans are viewed as proles by the inner party government officials and who seek expansive control mechanisms over the masses.

The transformation of America under President Obama is hitting high octane.  One of two options await the citizenry.  Either we actually become proles under a progressive dictatorship eerily similar to the events in 1984 or the whole thing blows up and we survive another day to keep the great gift of our representative republic.

Do you possess a moral compass and a level character unlike those who arrogantly and brazenly disrespect and violate the rule of law and our founding principles?  If so, the time is now for you to take a stand.

Ignorance of Masses Strength of Ruling Class Elites

The power to tax is the power to destroy, and few have more power these days than the Environmental Protection Agency.

With total backing from the Obama administration, the agency is flexing their powerful muscle, in many ways implementing and enforcing executive order in the absence of backing from the normal protocol of legislative action.

The elephant in the room is Global Climate change, perhaps the greatest hoax in centuries and nothing short of a vehicle to increase revenues (taxes in the 2 + 2 = 5 Orwellian times we are living in) and control over the people.

In a recent example of complete absurdity, Maryland Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley, demonstrated the lengths the progressive elites will go to confiscate money from the citizenry.  In  the aftermath of the Maryland general assembly passing a "storm water pollution fee" to raise money to cleanup the Chesapeake Bay, O'Malley has initiated a rain tax.  A rain tax?

As Brietbart reports,  the tax, mandated by the EPA and enforced locally, will be calculated "through satellite surveillance of your property."  Former 2012 GOP U.S. Senate candidate Dan Bongino bashes the tax in a Wednesday afternoon press release. The law "requires individuals, businesses, and even charitable organizations and houses of worship to pay a tax based on the amount of rain that falls on their property and the 'impervious surfaces' on their land," he says.

To find this encroachment of liberty merely troublesome would be representative of the complacency of the American people.  However, the alarm bells going off on this action would wake up my long lost descendant, Lord Baltimore!

The tax is anticipated to be enforced locally by the EPA with the tax calculated through satellite surveillance of your property, by measuring the impervious surfaces on a site or lot and assessing a tax on the total.

Federal authorities, local municipalities and private companies currently utilize aerial imagery to identify improvement and parcel size, although many contend this is a violation of a central tenant of founding of our republic; property rights and the right to privacy on your property.

The fine citizens of Maryland get the government they deserve, and due to excessive taxation enacted by the government they elected, the state has suffered a measurable population loss.  But those in Terrapin country are not the only citizens under attack from the oppressive tax collectors and environmental terrorists.

Privacy in the heartland is being violated by the EPA as officials are spying of farmers in Iowa and my home state of Nebraska.  Recently, as reported by Investors Business Daily, Nebraska's congressional delegation sent a justifiably angry letter to Administrator Lisa Jackson last week complaining that her Environmental Protection Agency had exceeded its legislative and constitutional authority by conducting drone surveillance flights over Nebraska and Iowa farms looking for violations of the Clean Water Act.

 "As you might imagine, this practice has resulted in privacy concerns among our constituents and raises several questions."

Sen. Rand Paul,  R:KY, warned recently about the slippery slope of various forms of surveillance at the hands of an oppressive government acting outside of legislation, which can ultimately lead us to the dystopia of George Orwell's 1984.

But there is no cause from concern, says the federal government, as in a response to the letter from Cornhusker country, the EPA justified the use of drones as customary and cost beneficial.  As evidence the government cannot be trusted comes reports that, as reported in Investors Business Daily, The Environmental Protection Agency has acknowledged that it released personal information on potentially thousands of farmers and ranchers to environmental groups, violating their privacy rights and acting in collusion with private groups with private political agendas.

"This information details my family's home address," J.D. Alexander, a Nebraska cattle farmer and former president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, told FarmFutures.com. "The only thing it doesn't do is chauffeur these extremists to my house."

If you think the leftists will not swarm individuals homesteads, you may wish to recall the events of the Bank America executive in, of all places, Maryland.

For those who revel in conspiracy, are the increased regulations of the farmers an effort to burst what the FED perceives as a potential bubble; farmland, providing the opportunity for the government to gain more control through offering assistance of bailouts?

Any encroachment on the rights of the citizenry by dishonest brokers operating a government which cannot be trusted, in part due to operating outside of reasonable checks and balances leaves the citizens struggling for friction. These actions reducing individual liberty must be defeated.

The more the government spends, additional plans and programs are enacted to increase taxation to fund them.  As Ronald Reagan pointed out, the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan. In the predictable process, liberty and freedom of the citizenry is gradually erased.

Ultimately, without the freedom and liberties granted our republic, we could well become citizen proles of Oceania, ruled by an elite ruling party in a large city in urban decay where 2 + 2 = 5.

Sunday Night Song: 1984

Nineteen Eighty-Four.

For a myriad of reasons, recently I have been thinking about George Orwell's 1984. With the re-election of President Barack Obama, as Victor Davis Hanson appropriately pointed out in a recent Investors Business Daily editorial piece, the "Beast Reagan Aimed To Starve Good To Gorge Under Obama." Sadly, right on target.

The recent death of famed economist James M. Buchanan, a leading scholar in "public choice" economic theory, reminded us of conclusions drawn, most accurately noted that those elected to government do not leave their ideology and self interests behind at the door. While in itself this is not necessarily a bad thing, it reminds that proper checks and balances are required from the citizenry as increased government interjection in the economy reduces freedom and liberty and is destined for failure.

A case study for that conclusion is examined in an excellent article the crossed my transom the other day regarding the significant decline of many large American cities. Michael Snyder, from The Economic Collapse blog is the author, details how cities such as Detroit, Oakland and Chicago have become infested with gangs, with increasing violence and lawlessness, and are deteriorating from within.  Government in these cities, due to financial constraints caused by idiotic progressive policies of social justice, have been forced to reduce effort to combat the criminals.

Chicago is particularly noteworthy.  The south side, where the greater majority of murders are taking place, is home to our President; Barack Obama.  With MSNBC contemplating that his record as President should place him upon Mount Rushmore, it is mind boggling he could not, or would not, have accomplished anything with respect to reducing the despair and hopelessness of those in the area that leads to this type of destructive behavior.

For the failure in that regard that was Obama, now his former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is now mayor, and he has absolutely given up.  Can he not do the job, or does he have an interest in not doing the job?  It is the latter.

Those in power like to have chaos on the streets, which leads the ill-informed to think they are in need of help from anyone who can curtail the situation.  By not enforcing laws and creating dependency among the less educated, the government creates an environment of hopelessness and dependency which leads to escalating crime resulting the community to cry out for help.  When they do so, it is the government to the rescue, the same folks who created the problem.  Oh, what job security.

In reflecting back to post war London in Orwell's 1984, wild dogs roamed the streets of a rundown city of crumbling buildings and deteriorating public services.  As noted above, several major US cites are following this pattern, with dangerous, violent urban killing fields where many are robbed of their identity and are hopeless, resulting in increasing violence and civil unrest the government fails to adequately curtail, and this is not by accident.

Over at The Burning Platform blog, a series of articles have been undertaken interacting the works of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley with the ever increasing control of the government, combined with the brilliant work of British rock super group Pink Floyd.  The blog posts, Hey You, and Mother Should I Trust The Government, are simply required reading. 

While I do not agree with all the context presented, I find most of it right on target and it does give us much to decipher.  Interacting Pink Floyd with the posts is very cool, and if you reflect back on Floyd's "The Wall", it is most appropriate.

Although all us makers are quite busy keeping all the takers afloat while the Obama administration executes their transformation of wealth plan, we must create the time in our lives to get informed and resist "inner party" as they continue to gain greater control over our lives.  If not, before too long we may find ourselves on the dark side with no exits remaining for escape.

We don't need no thought control, but we do need education on how our freedoms and liberties are being reduced. On that lovely note, hoping they keep their hands of my stash, for Sunday Night Song, here is Roger Waters of Pink Floyd as he performed for the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert.
