Inside Attack on America: Agenda 21

The American economy is extremely fragile, in large measure to seemingly wreckless actions taken by the Obama administration and the FED. Far beyond that, with tentacles any Octopus would be proud of, Uncle Sam and all our liberties are under full scale attack from within, a sinister series of actions by extremely well funded socialists masking as environmentalists, economists, clergy, higher education, health care and governmental officials, seizing your individual rights under the mask of political correctness for the benefit of the collective.

Ten years ago, I would have found myself guilty of hanging upside down in the crazy tree considering these items. But as I take note of the events currently taking place, which have been underway for decades but have accelerated under President Obama, I find our world is what is upside down and common sense has caught the last train to Clarksville.

This is the first on a series examining how particular aspects of our governance is expanding and abusing governmental authority beyond the framework of our Constitution. You may find, unknowingly, you have been cheering on the loss of your own freedom.

The focus of the first of several installments deals with an evil implementation of social justice, Agenda 21.

Developed by The United Nations, at the UN Rio Earth Summit in 1992 Agenda 21 was presented for endorsement by UN member nations "as a global plan of action for sustainable development," which aims to implement social justice through managing community development, industry, cultural and individual behavior. At the summit, President George H. W. Bush, who I voted for, signed on to Agenda 21. In 1993, President Bill Clinton, who I did not support, formed the Council For Sustained Development to Implement Agenda 21. Hence, regrettably, both parties are involved.

Although it is detailed, essentially, Agenda 21 efforts to contain the spread of development across the globe, leaving as much land as possible pristine. Further, through regulation by bureaucrats at the UN, "unsustainable" environments, development which fails to meet certain criteria, must be reversed for the global good. Four aspects of Agenda 21 are economic, natural resources, institutional and social. There is a large contingency of individuals, corporations, governmental agencies and organizations on board, and many may not recognize the nefarious ambitions at the heart of the effort. Among those behind it are George Soros, Al Gore and the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), which interacts with local governments to implement policies. You would be shocked at how successful the have been, as some 600 cities have signed on to implement policies outlined by Agenda 21.

Federal legislation under Cap and Trade was a product of Agenda 21, with Fannie Mae, reaching far outside the real estate finance arena, purchasing a trading exchange to house the system. Financing was thought to be provided by Shore Bank, a Chicago based bank which reportedly met its demise once Cap and Trade failed. Unfortunately, as President Obama typically does, the Congress was bypassed by the Obama appointed Czars, who are unaccountable to the the people, and extensive climate change regulations were implemented with the EPA utilized as the enforcing mechanism.

A recent example of the natural resource segment (toxic chemicals) of Agenda 21 would be the new extensive lead based paint regulations put forth by the EPA should property owners with homes built before 1976 wish to update your home in an effort to further the formation of a green economy. Beyond lead based paint, new expensive regulations regarding air conditioning systems, roofing, windows and doors must adhere to standards put in place to curb global warming, which of course, is a vehicle for the global transfer of wealth.

Former Washington Redskin tight end Clint Diddier, now a farmer in retirement, recently spoke with FOX News David Asman, and he is not happy about regulations on farmers in his home state, nor should he be:



Glenn Beck presented Agenda 21 to his FOX audience last summer:



Tentacles of government intrusion under Agenda 21 focus on restricting energy usage, health care opportunities, population growth and private property rights, the latter being a central cog in the formation of our country. Better stated, individual freedom is being confiscated.

Freedom Advocates houses a top notch website which thoroughly encompasses the enormity of Agenda 21, and fortunately, they are not blinded by political correctness and have a keen understanding of the evil end game, which is the loss in American sovereignty and individual rights as we join a global structure. Please check it out.

Our Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves to think Uncle Sam is legislating away our sovereignty over a hoax conceived to advance a governance based on the collective. Opposition to this agenda is growing, and a big recent victory came with the Republican National Committee passing an Anti-Agenda 21 resolution. But the fight is far from over.

I should have paid much more attention when George H. W. Bush discussed a new world order. At least I am awake now, and hopefully you are too. Our opponents are the same cast of characters you have come to know over the past few years, and they must be defeated. Please join the fight against those who wish to take our individual freedom and the sovereignty of our nation under the false premise of global warming, a move to the collective under a massive transfer of wealth.

Tide Rolls on Agenda 21

Every two years, in keeping with governmental regulation, mandatory continuing education for many professional licensees is required. Last week, in order to keep my Certified Residential Appraiser license in good standing, 40 hours were taken in at the Peabody Hotel in on tourism row in Orlando.

Among the courses presented in the snore fest was The Introduction to Residential Green Buildings.  As you may suspect, the course provided the opportunity for advocacy of the green movement by the instructor, and the moment was seized.

The instructor surmised that homeowners were embracing energy restriction by downsizing the gross living area of homes being purchased.  To the contrary, the lowering of the average GLA is largely due to the economic status of America, which due to governmental interaction in markets has severely hampered job creation and created elevated levels of uncertainty.

Public and private sector organizations, the US Green Building Council and the Shelton Group, advocates for green energy initiatives, were referenced as leaders in assessing all things green, from measuring consumer acceptance to rating and regulating building energy efficiency.

On the course evaluation, I wrote "portions of the class unfortunately bordered on advocating the propaganda surrounding the pursuit of sustainable development, having the feeling of being "nudged" minus Cass Sunstein" closing with "Sustainable development infringes upon property rights".

It should be noted that all responsible citizens should engage in efforts to refrain from polluting and wasting energy.  In addition, in our free market society there are many opportunities as a property owners to maximize cost efficiency with regard to energy usage, and these are prudent investments.


Unfortunately, common sense initiatives have been expanded upon by governmental regulators influenced by left wing environmentalists, global warming alarmists and a very nefarious group who are supporters of Agenda 21, or sustainable development; a global effort to implement social justice.

As reported in Investors Business Daily, Agenda 21 is a frontal assault on formative principles of our founding fathers.  One of those is property rights. "Land ... cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market," Agenda 21 says.

"Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes."

Property rights are central to our sovereignty, and on these central principles there can be no compromise.

Agenda 21 is intended to foster what environmentalists call "sustainable development" in the belief that man since the Industrial Revolution has been a plague on the planet, plundering its resources while destroying nature and putting the world at risk of disastrous climate change, poverty and disease.

If you were thinking those attempting to implement strategies in this arena were those on the left wing extreme, you would be correct, and they are currently running our government. This group has done a masterful job in promotion of the greatest hoax of all time, global climate change, to the mainstream citizenry and business leaders. 

Many, perhaps fearful of being on the wrong side against a government who takes few prisoners, are eagerly on board.  Some are financially tied to government, and have no choice but to gleefully participate.  In fact, just yesterday, TARP recipient Bank of America (BAS:NYSE) pledged 50 million to combat global warming.  Have not seen a sell signal like that in a while.

Unfortunately, governmental regulators, which include the EPA, unelected regulatory Czars and Obama and his executive orders are shoving Agenda 21 down our throats, which increase costs in arenas inclusive of energy, building maintenance and regulatory compliance.  In fact, just this week President Obama said he would make climate change his top priority in his second term, although odds are increasing he won't get that chance.

Even so, as industries have bought into the climate change premise, policies in this regard are emerging to overwhelm business owners, limiting economic freedom and free market prosperity.

Agenda 21, an arm of the United Nations, is on the verge of gaining binding influence in our court system.  The Law of the Sea Treaty, up for vote soon in Congress, is a current example. As alarming as this is, America appears to be waking up as Alabama voters handed Agenda 21 such a lopsided loss, you would think Crimson Tide.

Our rights are being trampled under foot, and many remain unaware.  Under global climate change, arms of the movement are working like termites to gain control of the structure, pun intended, of our governance.  Time is of the essence, and with the Obama presidency seeming on the ropes, danger lurks behind every two by four.  Inform your friends about Agenda 21, and hit the voting booth in opposition at your earliest opportunity.

Agenda 21 Evil Initiative

Are you familiar with Agenda 21 (now noted as Agenda 2030)?

It is a global effort operating under the false premise of climate change which in reality is a vehicle of wealth transfer while reducing the sovereignty of nations while increasing control over their citizenry.

As noted in Investors Business Daily, "Agenda 21 is intended to foster what environmentalists call "sustainable development" in the belief that man since the Industrial Revolution has been a plague on the planet, plundering its resources while destroying nature and putting the world at risk of disastrous climate change, poverty and disease."

"It’s a parasitical representation of the 1%, feeding on the 99. Agenda 21. Divide. Dumb down.Conquer."

Become acquainted with this effort, for make no mistake, this evil initiative places your liberty and freedom is very much at stake.

Evil of Agenda 21 Lurks Omnipresent

Omnipresent indeed.

Agenda 21 is in fact everywhere.

This evil global initiative is running roughshod over the American citizenry, with many of the uneducated cheering all along the way as their freedom is encroached upon while having their rights restricted.

I came face to face with it in my community as my local government received a grant to join with Safe Street Academy to claim without public hearing a lane of traffic on a four lane thoroughfare to make a safe lane for bicyclists and pedestrians. The City Transportation department claimed there were excessive traffic problems in this area, but as a local resident who travels the street in question on a daily basis, this is not accurate.

It is Agenda 21.

The goal with respect to this initiative is to ultimately eliminate the "evil" automobile.  A long time friend I ran into at a public event to discuss this initiative last weekend, who is associated with a bicycle club who just happened to have the majority of their membership present, as much as said so.

Our discussion got so out of hand, I wonder if I still have a friendship with that individual.

Public representatives were arrogant and condescending, hitting me in conversation with statements like "if you had all the facts" and "change is hard" to name a few.

I was called enhanced by conspiracy, but it fact the conspiracy was right there, in front of all to see, in the form of these bike lanes.

In losing points in the discussion, after accusing me of being an uncaring individual (code), before walking away my friend quipped "well, it is only a four week experiment and it will be gone soon enough."  I hope his right, and that has been what has been advertised, but I trust this ruling class of planners as far as I can throw them.

This is a critical fight going on in our nation, and 85% of the folks have no idea.

If you are unsure about the plan, and it's ultimate goals which eliminates nations and relishes in government control over the people, please read up on it.  The American  Policy Center, linked below, is a great informative place to start.

The Way To Kill A Killer

For now, it looks like the heat surrounding a very tense standoff in southern Nevada over farm land grazing rights has cooled down. 

The standoff, between rancher Cliven Bundy and The Bureau of Land Management, quickly escalated to the point where violence was knocking on the front door.  There were a host full of players, many of whom did not have a legitimate dog in the hunt, and most were looking for trouble.

Thankfully, a violent eruption of lost tempers did not rule the day, or we potentially could have had another Waco or Ruby Ridge situation on our hands.

Legally, the case is somewhat complex, involving conflicts between state and federal laws. It would have been a good case for Jarrod Barkley, Esquire, of Stockton, CA were he still in practice.

Certainly, I do not have the scorecard filled out on this battle, but I have drawn some conclusions, and they are as follows:

Cliven Bundy
*I have heard interviews with Cliven Bundy and he seems like a good natured fellow.  He does sort of give off the vibe of a "sovereign citizen", but I think he just wants to ranch his land and has had it up to his eyeballs with the federal government increasing regulations and encroaching their influence of his business dealings.  Join the club.

*Some people claiming to be Bundy supporters agree with his position, but are looking to create a disturbance, hoping for violence to erupt so they can gage battle with the government.  The retired Sheriff, a complete moron, who wanted to put women and children at the front of the line should shooting occur, comes to mind. 

*Bundy appears to be in arrears regarding grazing fees. I pay my taxes and regualtory fees, and I would expect him to do the same.

The people hoping for violence should recall that the government is hoping for civil unrest, as it offers opportunities to increase power.  The correct way to win these issues is to follow the path of Dr. Martin Luther King, an exemplary example of leadership in grievances against an oppressive government.

*Sen. Harry Reid, D:NV, a despicable individual, has labeled all those who side with Bundy as "domestic terrorists".  Well, that may include me.  Sen. Reid says it is not over, and people just can't go around breaking the law going unpunished.  Unless maybe you work for the IRS.

*It is worth noting the government, in contesting the Bundy family at the ranch, may as well of retained the US Army, given the man power, weaponry and vehicles that ascended upon the ranch.  We cannot secure our southern border but we can unleash untold armory to get the Bundy family.

*Evidence has turned up that the BLM has killed some of the cows owned by Bundy.  I did not hear of an anthrax breakout, so the killing of his cattle is nothing more than an act of intimidation.  This is not the behavior I would be in support of my elected governmental officials being engaged in.

*It also seems the government attempted to reduce the amount of acreage Bundy could utilize, which due to the large amount needed for cattle grazing, would have essentially put Bundy out of business as he was currently engaged.

Certainly we know, particularly under President Obama, is strongly overreaching when it comes to property rights.  The EPA is out of control, but their actions appear to be the tip of the iceberg.

We have previously written about Agenda 21, an evil platform of ideas which attack the sovereignty of the United States and viciously encroach upon the property rights of our citizens. An outreach of wealth transformation, the tentacles of Agenda 21 reach Orwellian levels.

But are these ideas new.  Stuart Chase, in his 1942 book "The Road We Are Traveling", noted the transfer from the free enterprise system to a system deemed "X".  Nineteen characteristics were noted, but number 17 described control of industry without ownership. 

This includes property, where, although they do not own your property, through items like permitting, energy control "smart meters" and water usage they control what you can do with it.  For example, for the new buyer of your home to get financing through the government controlled banks, your home must be energy efficient, with items like roof covering, HVAC and windows meeting newly established guidelines.  Seems like encroachment of property rights to me.

With the progressives, we know that the issue, in this case Bundy and his ranch, is never the issue. What is the issue?  Is it the government is aiming to seize private property of citizens under Agenda 21 protocol?  Or, God forbid, are we so broke we are positioning ourselves for negotiation with China as we recently saw Ecuador involved in?

We must put government back in its place, but engaging in violence with them on a ranch in southern Nevada is not the time or place.  Sen. Rand Paul has legislation he claims would go a long way in solving this dispute; however, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will not allow it to be heard or brought up for vote.

Does Sen. Reid want the problem solved in a way the people approve of, or is he hoping for violence to erupt so he can seize more control of the people? Was his heightened rhetoric calling those who disagree with him "domestic terrorists" an effort to put gas on the fire?

The answer to this problem has one word: freedom.  While this country has laws which must be followed and legal taxation we must pay for our society to adequately function, government over reaching their authority and intimidating the citizenry. Those seeking to limit freedom, and at the end of the day that seems to be what is going on at the Bundy ranch, should be defeated.

Non violent avenues, such as the legislation put forth by Sen. Paul and others, is the way to achieve these goals.  Sprinting to the voting booth at your earliest opportunity helps as well.  That is how we kill the political careers of those who seek to kill freedom for the citizenry.

Sovereignty Under Attack

There has been an alarming amount of proposed treaties with the United Nations the United States has been considering recently, and although right out of the progressives playbook, they are significantly detrimental to our sovereignty.

With Glenn Beck's Agenda 21 hot off the presses, word comes of yet another stealth treaty with very troublesome undertones. Time constraints prohibit thorough analysis at this time, but as usual, Beck gives you an overview of what is afoot with the U.N. Treaty: Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Please take a listen:



We will have more on this topic, Agenda 21 and those who seek to limit the sovereignty of the United States with and without partnership of the United Nations in the upcoming days and weeks.

External Government Obsolescence

The right of property is the guardian of every other right, and to deprive a people of this, is in fact to deprive them of their liberty --Arthur Lee of the Commonwealth of Virginia

On Tuesday, The Supreme Court of the United States will hear a case regarding property rights centering on government control over an owners right to maximize the productivity or utility of the property. Of course, the founding fathers regarded ownership of private property as the foundation of freedom and prosperity.

FOX News Shannon Bream, a Tallahassee native who earned Juris Doctorate with honors from The Florida State University College of Law, has a report


The Pacific Legal Foundation, the oldest and most successful public interest legal organization that fights for limited government, property rights, individual rights and a balanced approach to environmental protection, will be in front of the Supreme Court working with the Koontz family.  Here is more regarding the public sector shakedown that has handicapped the ability of the Koontz family to maximize return on and of the vacant parcel.




The Hoover Institution has weighed in, recognizing the case is central to property rights, something John Adams found integral to freedom.  In fact, most are unaware that before becoming the father of our country, George Washington was a surveyor and mapper.

The Orlando Sentinel had a front page story on the case, as interestingly enough, the property in question is about twenty minutes away, right here in Orange County, Florida just east of lovely downtown Orlando.  Please see the maps below of the parcel.


 
 
 
Find Law.com has a good overview of the lengthy goings on in the case, presented below:

Koontz proposed to develop 3.7 acres closest to Highway 50, back to and including the power line easement. In order to develop his property, he sought a management and storage of surface waters permit to dredge three and one quarter acres of wetlands. A staffer from St. Johns agreed to recommend approval if Koontz would deed the remaining portion of his property into a conservation area and perform offsite mitigation by either replacing culverts four and one-half miles southeast of his property or plug certain drainage canals on other property some seven miles away. Alternatively, St. Johns demanded that Koontz reduce his development to one acre and turn the remaining 14 acres into a deed-restricted conservation area. Koontz agreed to deed his excess property into conservation status but refused St. Johns' demands for offsite mitigation or reduction of his development from three and seven-tenths acres to one acre. Consequently, St. Johns denied his permit applications.

As PLF points out, the case asks whether the Constitution places limits on an agency’s ability to demand excessive amounts of money from a land use applicant in exchange for a permit to build on his property.

The American Farm Bureau Federation brilliantly summarizes the impact of the case to the agricultural community:  To strengthen landowners’ ability to obtain compensation when permitting authorities impose an arbitrary or disproportionate requirement of money or services as a land-use permit condition, or when authorities refuse to issue a permit based on the landowner’s refusal to agree to an unconstitutional exaction of real property

This case will have significant national impact.  Recently, we have been focused on the evil and restrictive policy issues surrounding Agenda 21, but the tentacles of this movement are very far reaching.  If an ever increasing oppressive government, who already has tremendous power through code enforcement and the permitting process, can shakedown owners seeking permits to develop their owned property through imposing arbitrary fees, penalties and or taxes as a condition of obtaining permits is an extension of extraction that is unethical and unconstitutional, as I hope we are all about to find out.

A decision in favor of the government will no doubt open the door for the government to demand extraction wherever and whenever it wants.  Be advised the government will utilize the decision to further seek the transfer of wealth and exponentially expand the globalist dreams found in Agenda 21, significantly reducing the freedom and liberty of property owners to see maximum return on and or their investment.  This will curb investment, reduce utility and value of property, lower tax revenue and limit choice for consumers as development is reduced due to increased costs.

As James Madison noted, Property must be secured or liberty cannot exist.

Handcuffing The EPA

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

Through excessive taxation and regulation, including environmental fees, the government, while not wishing to own your property outright, increasingly controls the utilization of your real and personal property . While the greater majority of these actions are presented as needed effort to limit man made damage to Global Climate Change, the reality is it is a vehicle for the transfer of wealth and control over the citizenry, with particular emphasis on energy and environmental protection, both of which affect property owners.

These are tenants involved in the evil globalist Agenda 21, newly labeled as Agenda 2030.

With the new appointments under President Trump, these illegal encroachments on the citizenry are about to cease, increasing freedom and liberty for all.

Banking Shakedowns Continuing

Investors Business Daily, with an editorial page second to none, editorialized last week on the subject of "local responsible banking ordinances", which unfortunately are sweeping the country.

After implementation, cities and local governments will require banks who wish to be considered for city or county contracts meet criteria with respect to low income and minority quotas for mortgage and small business lending. In addition, banks must provided detailed plans from banks on their goals in expansion in these areas, along with data associated with loan origination, raising costs and increasing privacy concerns.

Banks already provide much of this information to banking regulators, but local agencies consuming and housing this information, much of which is proprietary, is concerning.

As IBD correctly notes, the moves effectively turn local authorities into bank regulators along with the federal government, adding another layer of CRA enforcement and creating additional pressure on banks to make risky loans. Should the banks fail to meet standards set forth by the city and county agencies, they would be excluded from participating in the bidding process.

Governing.com reports "City leaders who advocate for the ordinances say they're trying to build upon the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), a 1977 law that ended that was designed to encourage banks to address the banking needs of low- and moderate-income Americans and reduce the practice of redlining".

However, it was the CRA that planted the seed for the current housing crisis that has crushed our economy.Banks were targeted, by groups like ACORN with a bevy of young attorneys to shakedown banks into lending to sub-prime borrowers for fear of being exposed as a potentially racist companies.In fact, President Obama, while working with ACORN decades ago, engaged in legal action against CitiBank.

While this may sound good at quick glance, closer examination shows something quite ominous.

These local responsible banking ordinances, an extension of CRA, will force the money center banks to lend based on standards set by those with the agenda of increasing lending to those who cannot qualify on their own merits, injecting governmental influence into privately held firms who have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, not the community.

While small banks will sit it out, making a sound financial decision to forgo the cost prohibitive regulatory burdens associated with compliance, it is the invisible hand of the marketplace that should be dictating who succeeds, not technocrats with political agendas.

The political motivation of this exercise at the end of the day is what we find at the end of most left wing tentacles extending exponentially these days; the global transformation of wealth. In fact, the implementation of achieving political gain under false premises of betterment of the local communities has sustainable development and Agenda 21 written all over it.

In virtually each case of government interjection into the events of the free market system, simple economic principles, such as caveat emptor, are violated and further limitations are placed on our freedom.In the case agencies implementing "local responsible banking ordinances" the result will create an environment of increased regulation, taxation and barriers to business, which ultimately raises costs.

You have to wonder when or if these technocrat central planners will ever learn. As Ronald Reagan said, the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan. The previous plans have failed miserably, and future plans will as well.

A Measure of Success

While literally in midst of another domestic terrorist attack in Washington, DC at the Naval ship yard, in what can only be described as a classless and appalling action, President Obama took to the podium in front of a staged crowd marking the five year anniversary of the financial crisis to take credit for saving America from a a depression.

The top priority since his tenure in the oval office began, Obama reiterated his intention of focusing like a laser beam in his effort in building our economy so it works for everyone and laying out a new foundation for economic growth and prosperity. Take a listen:



With an adoring mainstream media failing to once again to question the assessment of the president, the extreme lies and misrepresentations of this speech cannot go unchallenged.

Obama, through the passage of Dodd-Frank, has left most banks paralyzed, as he blames the money center banks for creating the housing crisis through unsavory lending and underwriting practices.  Never mind that much of the blame falls on the goings on surrounding the Community Reinvestment Act, which sought to provide loans to lower income individuals and families who under normal established guidelines would fail to qualify.  ACORN, a community activist organization Obama supported and worked with, threatened legal action and public ridicule through protest for those considered racist banks who refused to dismiss best underwriting practices and engage in lending to unqualified applicants.

Dodd-Frank also provides consumer protection for those engaging in commerce with banks, given the deemed incompetence of the consumer derived by the government.  Forget buyer beware, Obama and big brother are here to help, guiding (and restricting) what banking actions of commerce the consumer will be allowed to engage in. Dodd-Frank does nothing but restrict banking opportunities all while increasing costs of the consumers.  It is about nothing but government control, and limits the individual liberty and economic freedom of the citizenry.

In addition, while we are at it, the assault on property rights also adds costs and restricts freedom of property owners through EPA implemented regulatory action, restricted permitting and zoning regulations implemented under Agenda 21.  Has anyone replaced an HVAC system lately?

President Obama spoke of how his efforts jump started the flow of credit.  Through government entitlements, such as HARP, scores of homeowners have refinanced their mortgages at lower interest rates as banks beholden to the government have been directed to provide this opportunity.  The lost money is absorbed by the taxpayers.

Most property owners, due to underwater property values, facing restricted credit and unstable employment, are unable to qualify for loans without government assistance.  Credit for small businesses, and mortgage loans free from governmental intrusion, remain quite difficult to obtain.

Some thirteen trillions dollars have been spent, actually borrowed, to "stabilize the economy" and create jobs, and although Obama has no idea, this has been a colossal failure in large measure to his horrendous economic policies. Remove the FED buying bonds, begin some tapering, and see how stable the economy is.

While the administration trumpets a lowering unemployment rate, it should be noted that figure has been grossly manipulated.  Millions of Americans, unable to find work, have quit looking, and thus have fallen from being counted in the data sample, thus allowing the rate to fall.  The real story can be found by looking at the Labor Force Participation Rate, which tells us that the amount of our citizenry fully employed, not withstanding steady population growth, is at levels not seen since 1978.

 
The real statistics regarding the economy are staggering, and if the workforce was equal to when Obama was sworn in, the unemployment rate would be closer to 14%.  Among the jobs Obama has claimed to create, a mind boggling number have been part time, in large measure due to companies limiting the hours of their employees in preparation of the implementation of Obamacare.  Obama championed the flagship legislation he spearheaded in Obamacare, the current top ranked job killer in America. 
 
In a related statistic, ZeroHedge.com illustrates economic realities even the low information crowd can comprehend; reporting a record number of restaurant workers while restaurant companies report decreasing sales.  Something is wrong with this picture.
 
Obama noted an erosion of the middle class, unaware his policies are the culprit.  Families are working harder than ever for less as median family income is lower than when he took office, coupled with rising costs in health care, food and of course gas, which has been over $3 a gallon, in contrast to a cost of $1.83 upon him taking office, for over 1000 days.
 
In fact, Obama highlighted his efforts to insist on new technologies to end our addiction to foreign oil.  Given that commentary, it is puzzling that this included reducing domestic drilling where possible, with a byproduct of a reduction in jobs, and increasing purchases from foreign countries.  Obama proclaimed we sought to become Brazil's biggest customer for oil.  Cheers!
 
Higher education has been an item Obama has focused on, even having Sallie Mae taken over by the federal government,  Sadly, the cost of higher education has never been higher and issues abound.
 
Much of the stimulus money went to unions organization and green job initiatives, many of whom are now bankrupt. Bridges and roads earmarked for repair remain in need as the money went elsewhere.
 
Obama was thrilled to save Detroit, except he did not.  The city of Detroit has gone bankrupt, and General Motors has been unable to repay Uncle Sam for the bailout.  The famed Pontiac Motor Division fails now to exist, and green energy vehicles Obama forced GM to produce have not produced a profit.  In a brazen derailment from contract law, bond holders had their money stolen while auto unions were padded.  Dealerships that were closed were over 80% owned by GOP donors, a political hit.  Ford, meanwhile, turned down the bailout and is outperforming GM. 

When Obama adds it up, he sees a tremendous success. Given his ambition to fundamentally transform the United States of America, his presiding over our decline may be measured as such.  For those who appreciate free markets, individual liberty and economic freedom, his tenure has been catastrophic.

But the lies and misrepresentation did not end there.  Yet to come was the all too common bitterly partisan and divisive attack on those meddling kids, otherwise known as Republicans.



It is worth noting, again, that for the fist 18 months of the Obama administration, until the election in Massachusetts of Scott Brown, democrats held a super majority. Better stated, the republicans may as well have played golf everyday because they alone could stop no legislative action. Zero.

At this point, the GOP has the house, but the democrats still control the presidency and the senate. Furthermore, against rhetoric to the contrary, a long list of progressive GOP members refrain from contesting Obama on anything, even some having supported much of his plans, inclusive of Obamacare.

The economic chaos Obama speaks of has been caused by his wreckless spending, exploding entitlements and attacks on small business and free markets.  Keep in mind it is Obama and his party are and have been in control presiding in the decline of America.

With respect to those who are offering opposition to Obama and his collective ambitions, I joined millions of others in electing representatives charged with defeating his initiatives.  It is Obama who has tanked the economy, not a handful of GOP members who oppose his socialistic goals.

Obama is emphatic that he will not negotiate with the GOP on the budget issues, which is odd coming from a man who claimed he would negotiate with any terrorist on the planet.  The GOP always get hammered for not compromising, but it is Obama who will not negotiate.

Yes, when you add it up, freedom and prosperity has been lost under Obama's presidency.  Five years after he implemented his strategy, with limited elected opposition, the country is far from economically stable and cannot pay its bills.  Seemingly under control of the administration, the FED is monetizing our bloated debt, crushing savers and decreasing asset wealth in what has to be considered the reaching of Obama's goal of the transformation of wealth.

The media can cheer Obama on, but those of us in the middle class out here working know what the scorecard says.  The economic conditions as a result of the actions taken by Obama have significantly reduced freedom and prosperity, the opportunity to achieve it, and have decreased the standard of living for the greater majority of our citizens.

How is success measured in this case.  For Obama, presiding over the transformation of the United States is considered a rousing success.  I consider those actions unconstitutional, and therefore seek his impeachment.

Snake Oil

Oh thank heaven. Not!

Gas price in metro Orlando on 3/5/2013

Pulling on to pit road for a fuel stop the other day was painful.  Gas prices are near historical highs, and nobody seems to care.  In fact, the average national price per gallon has been over $3 for well over a year now.
 
I recall when gas spiked last decade under President Bush, the mainstream media, including local network affiliates, worked the citizenry into a frenzy.  Details of how the misery of the high gas prices negatively affected family after family and businessman after business were the top news story nightly with reporters in the field at gas stations far and wide.
 
Not these days. With the anointed one in office, the media cannot be bothered by a story that casts negativity on their beloved president. These folks do not present the truth, only propaganda.
 
Do they want a story?  Well, light sweet crude, which reached $147 a barrel under the spike under Bush, is only approximately $90 per barrel now.  What gives?
 
 
Although the Democrats hammered Bush and the capital markets during the spike last decade, they could not recognize then what they deem true now; that much of the price of oil under the current environment is out of the presidents control. True then, true now.
 
However, while the president cannot directly control world prices dictated by OPEC, control over the blessings of our natural resources can be engaged.  President Obama has failed to do so and stands opposed to it, so part of the infliction of pain on gas consumers lies on his desk.
 
He has borrowed taxpayer money to gamble on experimental alternate sources of energy which have ended in bankruptcy more often than not.  An outspoken opponent of fossil fuels, Obama has failed to move forward on the Keystone pipeline and has decreased our production.  Actions in the aftermath of the Gulf Oil Spill were designed to decrease our production, never letting a crisis go to waste. In addition, the US being Brazil's best customer does not help Americans at the pump.
 
But Obama has stated he prefers gas prices to reach European levels in a methodical manner, and has placed regulatory action on vehicles aimed at nudging motorists into small engine block vehicles the majority of the populous rejects. 
 
Cities embracing sustainable development and principles found in Agenda 21 are rewarded, and the punishment absorbed by the citizenry due to the hidden tax of high gas prices is a orchestrated mechanism to nudge Americans away from the pump.
 
Pain for the public to achieve political gains is sadly part of the plan to transform the United States of American and transfer our wealth to nations perceived as victims of our economic advancement.
 
Described as a new normal, nothing could be further of the truth. Simply sold as snake oil.

Citizen Pain for Political Gain

Never let a crisis go to waste.

This phrase, made famous by former Obama COS and current Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, is very informing of avenues the Obama administration will take to seek legislation and enact governance upon the American people. Whether or not against the will of the citizenry, the ends justify the means with this group of progressive elites who assume they can run your life much more effectively than you can.

A recent avenue of approach of a crisis, real or perceived, to engulf our nation is what is known as sequestration, which essentially is a series of across the board "cuts" designed to handicap the growth of government. Since compromise between the two parties was deemed unachievable, they agreed that the cuts, which hurt sacred cows on both sides, would seemingly force an agreement to be forged. 

Forget about it.

The sequestration cuts, which are not a real cuts but only a decrease in the amount of growth of an already extremely bloated federal budget, was only just over 2%.  Obama, not one to shy from lap dog media exposure, alarmed the public that there would be stark consequences should the sequestration, originally an idea born in the Obama White House, come to pass.  Take a listen:



Imagine, the government unable to find appropriate cuts in their ever expanding budget while all of us out here are scrambling to keep afloat as taxes and regulation rise while our wages decrease. In fact, as the ball dropped in Times Square in 2013, Obama increased our payroll taxes by just over 2%.  All us "working families" are dealing with it, but apparently our government cannot.

While this demagoguery was not becoming an individual in a leadership role, and most certainly our president, it was also quite false, but more importantly quite telling.  Under the supposed recovery underway, is it logical to assume these minuscule cuts would put our country in such peril? If yes, Obama should be removed from office due to incompetence.  Secondly, why is it always the firefighters, police officers and the military and the potential release of prisoners always the first to targeted for cut?  Regarding prisons, how about making doing the crime a bit less comfortable for those in the graybar hotel?

At any rate, this was another big lie by Obama and his team of strategists to scare the American people, and the spineless GOP, into compromise.  Thankfully, for once, the GOP did not cave, and guess what?  Only the items Obama could directly control have been seriously impacted, like White House tours and the operation of our national parks.  At any rate, while having to back track armageddon comments, Obama will seek to maximize citizen pain for political gain. 

Speaking of the national parks, is there something going on here we are not aware of? 




Could one of the reasons the national parks are first on the list of the "perceived" cuts be because we do not actually own them?

We all know Agenda 21 is a growing problem as part of relinquishing our sovereignty to the United Nations protocol, but if this is in fact true the encroachment of the United Nations may be much more problematic than originally thought.

There is little doubt Obama and progressives seek to advance government control over our citizens, reducing the freedoms and liberties set forth by our founding fathers.  No vehicle for seizing more power is out of line, because as noted by the Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, the ends justify the means.

Bombarding Americans with scare tactics as we jump from the crisis of yesterday to the emergency of today is no way to run our government, unless perhaps the objective is to implement the Cloward-Piven Strategy of crashing our system.

Citizen pain for politcal gain.  Sadly, so far so good in that regard.

Land of the LOST

Captain Sleestak
Sometimes a quick whip around the events of the day make you wonder if you may have been kidnapped and went through a worm hole.  This, of course, providing you are consuming news from most of the biased mainstream outlets.

If you seek the truth through alternative news media outlets who do not subscribe to he national narrative, when your eyes opened you may have thought you found yourself in the Land of the Lost being preached to by Captain Sleestak.

Among the stories you may have came across recently is a very troubling potential treaty called The Law of the Sea Treaty, or LOST.  The treaty, somewhat complicated considering the tentacles associated with it, is extremely ominous and could ultimately cause the demise of the sovereignty of the United States.

Investors Business Daily, a true leader in presenting the truth through their outstanding editorial page, reported the treaty establishes an International Seabed Authority with the power to regulate 70% of the earths surface.  Inclusive in the this would be ocean fishing, mining and deep sea oil and gas exploration at the minimum.  Military activities by the Navy and NASA could be negatively impacted as well.

As IBD Reported, Mike Browfield of The Heritage Foundation noted "One of the more nefarious and insidious of its provisions is Article 82, which requires the U.S. to forfeit royalties generated from oil and gas development on the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles — an area known as the 'extended continental shelf.'"

Dick Morris, who sounds the alarm on LOST in his new book Screwed, give us the horrid details in a lunch alert last Wednesday.  Take a listen:




Enemies from within, including many familiar names such as John Kerry, John McCain, Leon Panetta. Hillary Clinton and President Obama, are working to limit the sovereignty of the United States giving control mechanisms to the United Nations.

The LOST Treaty is one of many tentacles operating in this regard with the transformation of wealth the centerpiece of global governance.  Agenda 21 and Global Warming, a complete fraud, are utilized globally to transfer wealth, of mostly Americans, through taxation and regulation.  Green programs have extensive, and expensive, tentacles infiltrating American lives through governmental agencies like the EPA and the FDA.

The Responsibility to Protect is another avenue, allowing the UN to actively engage oppressive regimes in an effort to protect those they deem in danger.  Forget that the UN is usually an opponent of Uncle Sam in military initiatives, but the folks behind this effort are fierce opponents of Israel. Will they be on the wrong side should an Israel and Iranian altercation commence?  But does this extend beyond military operations?  Could those deemed polluters be targeted for compliance?

Jumping the shark could take us to governance over satellites in space, or food consumption and farming, or even population control perhaps subscribing to the one child policy of China.  Some very big names appear to be on board regarding population control globally in an effort to control global warming.

Our teleprompter in chief, an individual who thinks America has always been an oppressor, aims to transform our divinely inspired country, changing our traditions and history, robbing it of its exceptionalism. 

If we don't defeat these folks, Obama will fulfill the dream from his father by taking down Uncle Sam and placing the power and governance in the hands of the United Nations, an organization which could establish a worldwide socialist utopia Captain Sleestak and his arrogance could rule over for many moons to come.  The United States could become a land of the lost.

As IBD ever so accurately concluded,  LOST would be an incalculable loss of wealth and sovereignty. Those who wish to plunder our wealth and neuter our power should be told to get lost.

Twisted Tales

I did not know whether to laugh or cry.

That was my reaction to the following headline of a post by Tyler Durden over at ZeroHedge.com:

"With 1 In 3 Homes Unaffordable, Freddie Mac Prepares To Enter The Trailer Home Loan Market"

After fighting through the propaganda presented daily by the Obama administration and their media partners, it is quite obvious that the issues surrounding this headline are illustrative of an anemic and fragile economy, with our country teetering on economic peril few can currently visualize.

With all the failed stimulus, which I was against, we literally have nothing to show for it.  The economy "grew" an a paltry 0.01 percent last quarter, and it culprit is not the much discussed weather.  The culprit remains increasing taxation and regulation, and Obamacare, the biggest job killer we have witnessed in many a moon.

With over 90 million potentially fully employed workers out of work and the lowest labor participation rate since the economically dismal Carter administration, job growth is practically extinct and the annual after tax income for the average worker has decreased approximately 10% since the financial crisis of 2009.

Therefore, although housing prices have significantly retreated, due to a bludgeoned job market, as reported by Zillow, a third of the homes for sale are unaffordable to the average household. In addition, due to Dodd Frank and increased lending requirements, there is increasing difficulty in obtaining financing. 

Housing purchases have been happening over the past year, which have potentially inflated values.
However, it has not been the young family moving up from apartments or starter homes accounting for the sales; it has been Wall Street Hedge Funds and public and private real estate asset management firms, who have been making purchases to rent back to the increasing number of potential buyers unable to make purchases.

It is noted that in recent months these firms have significantly backed off their number of purchases.

Mark Hanson is a top notch real estate analyst, and he recently presented the following chart indicating cash purchases, which were a stunning 63% of residential properties sold in Florida in December:

Mark Hanson/MHanson.com
As the FED seemingly prepares to end qualitative easing, interest rates, which have been been held down and are not a true reflection of the market where economic equilibrium would be measured, without continued FED intervention, are sure to increase.  With the employment landscape stagnant as best, the purchasing of home will become increasingly unaffordable.

Seemingly in anticipation of the negative environment for housing created by the government and their partners, GSE Freddie Mac is now set to begin financing manufactured-housing communities.

Make no mistake, increased financing opportunities are always welcome, although the government should not be involved, as the private sector should be the marketplace for mortgage lending.

But, with this action, is there a story behind the story?

Manufactured housing is typically utilized by lower income families and acreage owners in rural communities.  Are stick built homes to become increasing unaffordable, forcing middle class owners to back step and unitize manufactured housing?

Keep in mind as well, that potentially increasing regulatory actions by the EPA, under the Agenda 21 guidelines, may make transactions on older existing homes much more costly for all involved through having the subject improvement meet EPA guidelines with respect to energy efficiency of appliances, windows, roof cover,etc. before qualifying for financing from GSE's or money center banks the government has interests in.

As a real estate investor, I have not included manufactured housing in my portfolio, primarily due to limited economic life of the improvement in comparison to stick built improvements.  Be advised I am not the only investor aware of this. 

Thanks to the Obama administration and their anti-capitalist policies, the economic conditions in the country are horrendous.  Reminiscent of the climate in the Great Depression, if you are fortunate to have good, stable employment, it has been your neighbor who has been laid off who cannot find adequate employment who is really feeling the brunt of the poor economy.

With employment stagnant at best, and the true future effects of Obamacare unable to be adequately forecasted, the job market remains facing unnecessary head winds with are keeping our economy from reaching high efficiency.

Perhaps Freddie Mac knows something most of you don't, and is looking for another investment opportunity?   The weather is unpredictable; don't get the tales twisted.

Detrimental Arrogance

When you get all patriotic and join in hoping and praying for victory and the safety of our heroes fighting the fight for freedom across the globe, you must recognize that you and President Obama may not always be on the same side, unless of course, it is politically expedient for Obama.

Not withstanding foreign positions that make little sense, negotiating and partnering with folks who are out to kill us and the general disdain and lack of respect for our military, Obama cannot refrain from informing us that each and every military success was and is all about him.

Examples of great leadership include but are not limited to establishing preparation, discipline and execution in demonstrating for others how individual effort can be maximized in achieving in efficiency individual and team goals. Upon success, the leader typically defers the accolades for those in command or partnership. Whether speaking about the offensive line as a running back, the pit crew and sponsors as a NASCAR driver, or Generals leading a groups of fearless young men in battle, you never hear in the victory interviews or speeches about what a great effort the leader made. These leaders credit their team, delecting praise from themselves men and leading with dignity.

Then, we elected a President bathing in narcissism. Although this is frequently visible with Obama, his recent speech on the anniversary of the killing of Bin Laden and subsequent political ad reached new lows. Outside of never breathing the word victory, it is, and always has been, about him. Veterans groups are none to pleased, and rightfully so. Take a listen:



Certainly, as Commander in Chief, the final call on operations like taking out Osama Bin Laden rest with President, as Obama deserves due credit for making that call. While that is adequately noted, reports indicate when told of the opportunity, Obama said he had to sleep on the decision and upon implementation of the event, was summoned from the golf course to oversee from a chair the operation.

Never mind that Obama opposed the war as a Senator and was in opposition to most all of the techniques utilized in the gathering of intelligence to find and execute Bin Laden. Now, Obama, who thankfully is in real trouble in his re-election campaign, feels compelled to use this success as a feather in his cap as Commander in Chief. Obama thinks that Americans view him as the integral factor in getting Bin Laden, when we all know it was our brave heroes among the NAVY SEAL Team.

It has been Obama and his left wing cohorts who have made life much more difficult for those in combat, principally through heavily restricting rules of engagement. Contrary to common sense, the administration is not in it to win it.

The Obama administration has been operating outside the channels of our government for some time, increasingly running roughshod over a weak Congress and a complicit media. Through the CZARS, who are not accountable to anyone but the President, to governmental agencies roughing up our citizens through regulatory action, it is clear the objective of this government it to move into a dictatorship operating system.

With the regime aspiring to have the sovereignty of America lost to global rule under a United Nations blanket, (See Agenda 21), one could conclude Obama has his sights set on more than the US Presidency. Stop laughing.

While you think Obama is a weak leader who speaks strongly and carries a small stick, he has a strong backing of those who aim for anarchy, Marxism and/or Socialism. With another term, America will likely become a stronger version of Venezuela with BHO in charge, which will place our military heroes in increasing danger. 

After all, it is not about us, but about him. All about him.

No Freedom Loving Patriot Could Appreciate Their Candidacy

Many who can't find ground with Trump or Hillary are turning to the Libertarian ticket.













Like the author of this piece, I cannot support Johnson right out of the gate due to his "support for the sovereignty-destroying, corporatist coup masquerading as a free trade deal, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)."

His VP choice William Weld, was on Glenn Beck today, and listed some horrifying positions.

Weld supported Obama in '08, thinks he had "interesting ideas," particularly with his thoughts on the getting away from the industrial revolution and combustion engine (see our previous post on the dangerous and evil Agenda 21) and finds Obama has behaved with dignity.

Lord Have Mercy!

Additionally, Weld said he thinks Brexit was a "bad thing" which would "upset stuff" (exit from government oppression is freedom) and found it good to put 20 million on the rolls with Obamacare. He was horrified by Trump attempting to renegotiate our debt obligations.

An economic imbecile no doubt.

"Weld irked Johnson supporters when he said on MSNBC that he’s “not sure anybody is more qualified than Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States.This isn’t just about trashing Trump, he is openly advocating for neocon criminal Hillary Clinton."--Michael Krieger

No freedom loving patriot could appreciate their candidacy.

Poisonous Parting Gift of Sovereignty LOST

Dick Morris, FOX News contributor on tour for his newly released book, very appropriately titled Screwed, was a guest on Hannity the other night.  A line of topic usually reserved for Glenn Beck was given a specific segment, and you had better listen up closely.  Have at it:



Investors Business Daily, where you will find America's best editorial page, blasted the premise of tentacles surrendering sovereignty under various treaties which do nothing but provide vehicles facilitating the global transfer of wealth.  Our wealth.

While this sounds far fetched to those outside the loop, which is many our citizens who are busting their tails to provide for their families and have little time to decipher news outlets, it is alarmingly and increasingly true.

Please spend a moment reading our previous blog post on Agenda 21, which provides linkage to the evil that is associated with this movement, which centers around the loss of perhaps our most central tenant; property rights.

It was Glenn Beck that first alerted many of us of The Responsibility to Protect. Under this UN treaty, member nations have a set criteria to "push for strengthened capacities to prevent and halt genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity". 

Boy Howdy, does that sound good when you say it fast.

Glenn Beck, of course, places RP under closer examination.  Listen closely:



With the UN member nations deciding who the guilty parties are, who knows who may be in the cross hairs.  It is noted that the majority of these members are not fans of the United States, and under agreements like this, a vehicle to knock America down to the levels of other member nations under wealth transformation and social justice is engaged.

Therefore, I wonder if the UN might join a group of moonbat progressive democrats and idiots across the globe in a move to prosecute George W. Bush for war crimes

Dare I say that among the targets for crimes against humanity may be the loathed Israelis.  Samantha Power, wife of White House Obama Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs administrator Cass Sunstein, a the top architect of The Responsibility to Protect, is an individual who has been on record detailing her disdain for Israel. In addition, she has been described as  a woman determined  subordinate America’s national sovereignty

You think this is crazy?  It was just last week the UN felt compelled to weigh in and make demands that the sacred land housing Mount Rushmore be returned to the Native American tribes Uncle Sam stole it from.  Give them the wealth, says Obama green jobs Czar Van Jones!

For America to sign away of sovereignty through treaties with the UN giving them the upper hand in our federal court system is borderline treason in my mind. Operating under vehicles such as global warming, genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, the end game is ultimately the global transfer of wealth, because of the false premise that somehow America stole the wealth from these other countries and now supposedly oppresses them.

Climbing the crazy tree, given the distaste President Obama has for our American history and his goal to change our history and traditions and move us to a different place, I can imagine Obama relishing the opportunity to oversee change across the globe.  In future years, having set the table with the UN having jurisdiction in our federal court system, as Secretary General of United Nations, he may have left a poisonous parting gift as our President; the blueprint for the loss of the sovereignty of the United States of America.

Perhaps this is why Obama went on a global apology tour and appears to be friendly to our enemies and an enemy to our friends.  As the sun sets on the west, Obama in his arrogance seemingly aims to rule the world and bring America down to the levels of the rest of the world, presiding over his own global socialist utopia.

In his own mind, he was chosen to embark on this journey and the world lies in wait eager to follow his vision.  A vision that would lead America and world spiraling into decades of darkness.

Upcoming Occupy Oscillation

Friends, family and colleagues gathered today in Los Angeles to pay final respects to Andrew Breibart, who we lost much to soon late last week. It will be next to impossible to replace Breibart, but the lessons he taught and leadership he exhibited will span many to continue his work in his honor.

America will need it.

Among the many items Breibart was working on when he passed so suddenly, was the nucleus of the Occupy Wall Street Movement. The mainstream media reports that the movement was a flare whose light has dimmed, a spontaneous gathering group of young Americans we can all be proud of.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

The group are for the most part useful idiot looter foot soldiers of a well financed machine of anti-capitalist, anti-American Marxist radicals, most of whom have not forgotten their efforts in the 1960's. The heavy hand of big government and all their tentacles coming together is their aspiration in effort to re-create '68.

While this video is lengthy, please allow our lost warrior Andrew Breibart to introduce you to some of the players and a handful of their nefarious objectives.



Although some of these folks are intellectually sound, many in the mid to lower levels of the Occupy movement are nothing short of useful idiots. Should the objectives of the movement meet with success, these folks will be swept under away in the tide under the hand of the intellectually elite leaders, who no longer have a use for them.

Among the topics discussed in the video, one hits very close to home for me. As a Realtor, Residential Real Estate Investor and Appraiser, I am very concerned about the effort to occupy homes, not just in an effort to re-write contracts through intimidation, but to establish a new market based on a price they dictated by socialists inspired by fairness.

Actually, price, and in turn marketplace equilibrium, is established between parties engaged in arms length transactions who through a series of sales provide a range of prices which indicate a median and a mean. Third party morons, who aspire for social justice have no place intercepting contracts, but President Obama did just that during the takeover of the car companies, and gave them precedent.

For me locally, if you are not paying your contractual obligation for any of my properties, you will be evicted as quickly as the law allows. As I say, if you are not paying, you are not staying.

If we get to a point where contract law is compromised or meaningless, the integrity of the marketplace is lost. Investors will refrain from taking any risks, and thus, growth under free market capitalism turns to nothing short of communism.

It must be recognized that this is the goal of those who are organizing the Occupy Wall Street protests. It has been a 100 year effort, and the window for opportunity to seize control is now open like never before. These power players are hoping to slam the door on capitalism before you wake up.

Efforts through health care, the churches, Big Education, the EPA inclusive of Agenda 21, regulation and taxation, the banking system, pro-Islamic (flotillas) and anti Israel actions are part of the tentacles the octopus is strangling us with.

Occupy Wall Street will move to the forefront as the summer approaches. You need to know who our opponents are and act accordingly. In the event of a crisis, the heavy hand of government will seize the chance to freedom away from the people.

Freedom is not free. In defeating this unprecedented internal threat, it is time to pay up America.

Out With The Bathwater

Last year, FOX Business Network ended their 5 PM show "Happy Hour", for a new show with Gerri Willis, who came over from CNN. The new show is not bad, but I find it much inferior to Happy Hour. Then again, who could compete with Glenn Beck over at FOX?

Now comes word that the entire primetime lineup at FOX Business will get the axe. Not a good move in my estimation.

Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano was a very good show. Now, it should be noted this show was in competition with The O'Reilly Factor over on FOX, the top rated cable news show by far. Freedom Watch did need some tweaking, and I was getting very tired of the Judge promoting Ron Paul for President. Overall, however, Napolitano asked intriguing questions of top guests from the political and financial world. This show will be missed, at least by me.

David Asman is very professional and at the top of his game. His current show Power and Money, which evolved from America's Nightly Scoreboard, was very good and often dove into off the mainstream topics, with Agenda 21 being an example. Hannity, over on the flagship FOX, is king of 9PM, but this show worked well and I will miss it as well.

Eric Bolling is outstanding, and his show Follow The Money, had a real chance to overtake On The Record with Greta Van Susteren over on the Flagship. FTM had the big screen here at my humble abode, but the show could have used some tweaking as well. The decisions by the FOX brass to include wacko socialists as nightly panelists on FTM, like the newly hired Sally Kohn and Jehmu Green, hurt. Nobody with a brain has any care about the opinions of these Obama apologists. Anyhow, Bolling is a star and this news is most disappointing. At least Bolling falls back to focusing on The Five over on FOX, a real hit.

Melissa Francis, who jumped off the sinking ship at CNBC to come over to FBN, is slated for a 5PM show, while Gerry Willis will move to 8PM. While Francis is talented, I hope the executives at FBM are not counting on a ratings increase, because it will not be forthcoming with these moves.









Lori Rothman and Charles Payne

If FBN, is going a different direction, they should immediately launch a financial show hosted by grossly under utilized Charles Payne, and a crossover show with the lovely Kimberly Guilfoyle. Business babes Tracy Byrnes and Lori Rothman are also under utilized, but what do I know?

I know I will miss each of these programs and do not have any excitement about the changes.
