So, we are to believe that because Donald Trump was elected president, America will be destroyed.
Idiots have taken to the street.
As evidenced by disturbingly condescending commentary by CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl in an interview with president-elect Donald Trump last night, it was apparently the Trump supporters who were causing all the ruckus.
But how can that be?
In fact, pictures and videos have surfaced of all the buses used to usher in all the protesters.
Buses lined up in Austin, TX
Yes, you read that right. These are the same folks who were at play in Ferguson, Baltimore and every other racial dust up over the last couple years. An orchestrated, and well paid, protester army of useful idiots.
As Rush Limbaugh stated on his program today, "I just ran across a couple of ads for protesters, $1,500 a week, hiring immediately, call today, start tomorrow, 15 to $18 an hour plus bonus overtime, up to 77 hours a week, Philadelphia. Craigslist.org. That's just one. There's a bunch of different recruitment ads that we have found for rioters, $1,500 a week."
We can thank George Soros, who met today with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D:CA) on how they can combat Trump's first 100 days, for the funding of all these actions to divide, and yes conquer, America.
America is sick and tired of this, and that contributed to Trump turning the nation red.
Real organic change are brought about by men who are principled and have deeply held beliefs they are willing to champion in a respectful and measured manner.
An America hero did that once, an individual you may think these protesters would admire and seek to emulate.
You would be wrong. These rioters are orchestrated idiots.
Times have indeed changed. Therefore, it is now time to Make America Great Again!
The public senses the amount of corruption within the government is out of control; which is part of the reason for the success of the outsiders; Trump and Bernie. But just how deep is it?
At Secret Weapon, "we appreciate that the DNC is highlighting the dangers of cyber-economic manipulation to control our elections. We just think they should look a little more closely at how they gained the White House in 2008. And we should all wonder if there might be a puppet master at work right now."
Who might that be?
George Soros, the man who "broke the bank of England, who is a very accomplished investor who spends his fortunes to finance chaos in an effort to culminate in open borders and a one world governance. After all, it was reported George Soros has backed Hillary Clinton and other Democrats to the tune of $25 million.
With a level of glee and joy rarely witnessed, the left wing power brokers have begun their extensive promotion of Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States.
Two movies are forthcoming, one from CNN, who is sort of thought of as a news organization, which will aim to allow Secretary Clinton to coruscate among a cast of would be challengers. With the media and progressive operatives already promoting the coronation of Hillary Clinton for 2016, we will seek to combat propaganda with truth.
Previously, as we check the achieves, we wrote about her involvement with George Soros and The Shadow Party. This wing of the party is hardly in the shadows these days, bu it gives glimpse of her extensive tentacles in socialism and governmental control of the citizenry. Indeed, she is lurking in the shadows, since many people, inclusive of supporters, do not know where her real principles of political thought are based. Cloward and Piven would be a start.
While the investigation into the aforementioned area is stunning, her recent failures as Secretary of State are most alarming. In the aftermath of her leadership under President Obama, the Middle East is truly a powder keg set to erupt at any moment in large measure due to incompetent or insanely derived foreign policy.
Then, there are the despicable actions surrounding the deaths of four patriots; Ambassador Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, in Benghazi. A cover up for illegal gun running resulted in their deaths and the obfuscation and misrepresentation of the facts coupled with the stonewalling of prudent investigations into the events paint the picture of not a potential statesman, but a liar.
What difference does it make quipped Ms. Clinton? I think plenty, and I find her cmments appalling and offensive.
Further stated, she is a disgraceful individual and unbefitting the presidency. Ask Pat Smith, whose son died in service to our country in Benghazi.
"This crisis was not originated in Europe … seeing as
you mention North America, this crisis originated in North America and much of
our financial sector was contaminated by, how can I put it, unorthodox
practices, from some sectors of the financial market.".
Barroso, a communist who would not a pro-forma if it rang the front door bell, is actually using EU crisis to promote his political agenda. While foreign investors did
purchase collateralized debt obligations, primarily mortgage batches, that blew
up, an economy which produces few assets and has exponentially expanding liabilities
is the real culprit. Investment novices, risk measurement is not their forte'.
Alarm bells have been ringing in Europe for decades, but for the last few
years, perhaps the loudest harbinger has been Nigel Farage. What does Farage
think of this claim? Farage spoke with David Asman of FOX Business:
EU member countries cannot meet their obligations, smothered by expanding
entitlements, which have required bailout after bailout. EU leaders have
implemented the Keynesian model of increasing stimulus in effort to create
economic growth. President Obama has met with the EU leaders promoting this
philosophy. In fact, Obama is implementing this model here in the states. But
by any statistical measure, the model has failed in Europe and is failing here.
Government does not create wealth; it destroys it.
Germany has had enough, and although Obama and the EU continue to push Germany to continue to participate, they are ready to cease bailouts. With the European Union on the brink of collapse, and time
is short according to billionaire financier George Soros, no doubt short the EU.
But there is hope as Soros and the technocrats running the EU have a
new idea; for the member nations to relinquish banking sovereignty to chosen technocrats running the EU. Shockingly, France is ready to go with this plan. With the EU member citizenry already robbed of their identity
with their entrepreneurial spirit crushed, civil disobedience is ushered in.
Enhancing the further collapse of a society would be for technocrats to rule
over budgets, terminating opportunities for individual advancement and growth
of the citizenry. With the citizenry having no vehicle for changing course, as
the technocrats are not elected by the citizenry, each country falls under the
governance of a panel of dictators, who are not going to allow this crisis to
go to waste.
It would further allow for an objective of Soros; an open
socitey, which ultimately eliminates the sovereignty of participating countries and its citizenry, which ultimately reduces freedom.
I join Farage in counseling the EU members to seek out individual freedom through free market economic principles, the best path to social and economic freedom and prosperity.
Those crazy intellectual elites over at the United Nations are engaged in mind exorcises once again. You may have thought involving themselves in the Trayvon Martin case was overreaching enough, but no, as they arrive at a set of conclusions of actions they indicate would make everyone happy. Glenn Beck noted the pure comedy, except unfortunately these idiots are playing for keeps and have allies in high places in Washington DC. Take a listen:
Just what we need; a bunch of technocrats from various countries inferior in, among other things economic standing and human rights, dictating to us how to achieve happiness. Seeking council from hedge fund manager and socialist George Soros, their recommendation centers around implementing the policies found in Europe of economic fairness and social justice, which has worked quite well as 60 Minutes documented on Sunday Night. Take a listen:
Those policies have created a crisis in Europe, as countries have lost their sovereignty and are being rules by technocrats who are unelected and have no accountability to those they yield power over. With that, the individual spirit, ingenuity and personal dignity is crushed and the degree of difficulty in regaining an economic foothold is greatly diminished. In a rather lengthy video, one you should most certainly view, our old friend Nigel Farage explains in answering a series of questions just how evil the whole idea of unaccountable groups like the UN governing your lives and dictating your choices. Engage Nigel now:
Under the financial crisis in the Eurozone, governments feel compelled to assume power in efforts to help solve the problem. Under such a crisis, weary and afraid citizens find it easy to turn to government officials for assistance. Rahm Emanuel, President Obama's former Chief of Staff, quipped once to "never let a crisis go to waste", and they do not.
I prefer the words of Ronald Reagan, who said "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.". So true. The reason is because every time the government gets involved in commerce (health care, Global warming) or regulation of action (curfews, taxation, regulation), portions of your freedom are relinquished, and they are usually never given back.
More troubling on the Eurozone is the emergence of non-elected technocrats who implement policies without being held accountable by the governed. Uncle Sam is heading, and being directed, down this road; a road to serfdom.
Reagan can be quoted all day, but he accurately describes the value of freedom in noting "Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit." We must avert any loss of freedom, particularly under the direction of those who indicate they know best and can be of eternal assistance to you if given the chance. Offer them no quarter, because as Reagan pointed out, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
Freedom in Europe has been losing ground for decades, and the working class know it. Opportunities for advancement to pursue dreams have been curtailed by those who govern. With unsustainable pensions now being stolen by officials, civil unrest is predictably taking place. The wealth of America is being transferred against our will through quantitative easing, and folks are getting restless, fearful of losing future opportunities at achieving the American dream. America was built on faith and the backs of a moral people who work hard pursuing their dreams. The pursuit of happiness.
Let us move immediately to protect these opportunities for our children and grandchildren, before the intellectual elites gain an unsurmountable position against a sleeping electorate, one who, if not careful, may lose the right to freely elect and fall into darkness.
If you are among those believing an orchestrated series of actions are being taken to crash our economic system, and hence, our system of government, then it would be logical to conclude those parties are in process or have completed the formation of a alternate system of government and structure to manage the stabilization of society.
Under such a dire scenario in a time of confusion and pain, many would be eager to turn to such an alternative versus the fear associated with what would appear to be lawlessness, having no idea that freedom as they once knew it would be relinquished. How many would take 50 cents on the dollar from Mr. Potter under fear?
For the Progressives, who are among those who think rights are given to the people from government and not our Creator, a crash offers a generational opportunity to seize power. From you, the people. Remember Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel giddy over never letting a crisis go to waste?
Efforts in this regard have been underway for quite sometime, long before Barack Obama held political office, and unfortunately, both parties have been at play, as both house Progressives.
Among the first from my knowledge to provide evidence regarding the players in the construct were the authors of The Shadow Party, David Horowitz and Richard Poe. The book highlights the activities of George Soros, a central architect of the movement who saw a co-founder of the Center for American Progress, Hillary Clinton, as potentially leading the effort from the top political office in American, the Presidency.
Who could have envisioned she would be defeated by an inexperienced smooth talking big stage neophyte. Previously, we discussed how with an angry electorate, the Progressive arm of the Democratic Party could part company with Obama for Hillary, hoping Americans could be fooled again. Don't think for a moment Hillary is finished as an integral player, for the VP spot may be opening up, which would be of great benefit to Soros and the Progressives, of which she is one.
Soros is notorious for collapsing the economies of several countries through his currency plays, and is often referred to as the Man who broke the Bank of England. With Europe on the doorstep of a collapse, and America with spaghetti legs, massive global collapse could be imminent. For a frank discussion on how Soros may be orchestrating such a collapse, through groups such as his Open Society Foundations, Glenn Beck (who else?) spoke with Richard Poe on two occasions over the last few weeks to help us navigate the playing field. Please take a listen to these reports from Beck via his GBTV:
The structure is being formulated through the Obama administration, with Cass Sunstein overseeing a full compliment of Czars who are operating outside of Congressional scrutiny, save Darrell Issa, and who operate through established agencies such as the EPA and HHS implementing all kinds of nonsensical policy and regulations. President Obama recently thwarting the Keytsone Pipeline would be an example, as one has to wonder why a plan which would help energy independence and create thousands of sorely needed jobs would given the green light.
One can look no further than the ideologies of Cloward and Piven, who seek to crash the system through overwhelming it with entitlements the state cannot handle, which ultimately will lead to chaos with civil unrest. It has been happening in Europe, and is heading our way. Have you wondered why our government seems to continuously intercept avenues of capitalistic advance?
The Occupy Wall Street folks, useful idiots indeed and totally oblivious to who is using them, made a trial late last year. They will be back in spades about the time the political conventions take place, make no mistake. It will not be spontaneous, but rather an orchestrated event, in large measure, sponsored by Soros. There will be an effort to re-create '68.
Europe is a time bomb ticking away. The cancer in their system is overwhelming entitlements, and it is metastasizing here in America. Global Warming, and the global social justice movements associated with it, is the vehicle about to crash our system economically.
Typically, before Soros makes big moves through his hedge fund preceding a collapse, he makes public statements forecasting events associated with such an event, and recently he has been quite forthcoming, as reported by The Blaze. Soros has been discussing civil unrest, which we have seen through the Occupy everything but a job groups, who unlike the Tea Party, are violent, without coherent grievances and supported by President Obama.
Although we are a compassionate society, we are individually free, and are not a communist country where government officials and appointed technocrats dictate our affairs through controlling societal mechanisms. Many, including our President, are seeking to transform our representative republic into such a place.
As it unfolds, we must adhere to our founding principles. After all, we are the country of George Washington, not George Soros.
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.
Several months ago, astonishingly, former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine was thought to be the leading candidate to replace Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary. Both President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were very fond of Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs CEO, and his economic knowledge and leadership.
That was before MF Global, the commodities boutique Corzine was CEO of went bankrupt and is missing 1.2 billion of customer funds.
Oh, the company that you keep.
Corzine failed miserably as Governor of New Jersey, blowing a hole the size of the Meadowlands in the Garden State checkbook. Residents there, who gathered their senses and elected Chris Christie to clean things up, are witnessing a telling turn around.
But it is Corzine's latest failure that will ultimately have a ripple effect that will engage each of our tax paying citizens. Ann Barnhardt, CEO of Barnhardt Capital Management, Inc., a small independent introducing brokerage, has been some kind of spot in analysis of this case, and recently shut down her operations due to a lack of trust in the commodities futures market. MF Global has exposed what many had feared; that the rule of law in our capital markets can be absent at any given time, and a lawless entanglement with uncertainty is toxic for any investor.
Few think Corzine is an idiot, so the concept that, as he testified in front of Congress, he has no idea how the money went missing is beyond laughable. This money is not mistakenly misplaced; it was stolen. As as George Bailey astutely pointed out, there should be a bank examiner, if not the FBI, with a warrant for the arrest of the firms officers. But surprisingly, perhaps due to the close relationship Corzine has with Obama, there is not. The thought that this event was orchestrated has crossed many a mind, and swamped with supporters of Cloward and Piven in Washington, it gains validity.
As Ms. Barnhardt points out, customer money is gone and the MF Global "trustee" has begun seizing customer assets who traded in precious metals and housed the investment collateral through contracts brokered by MF Gobal.
A form of retracing through the chain of investors, bankrupt or not, to recover losses can be referred to as part of hypothecation. Zero Hedge has been covering the recent emergence of this action like Deion Sanders covering a hobbled tight end. The term was originally making the rounds with respect to a potential collapse of the Euro, but it plays with any loss of collateral where re-pledging has occurred. Sadly, it creates the opportunity for investors on the outside to suffer huge losses, with little legal recourse.
David Buckner got with Glenn Beck to attempt to provided an example of how this could impact the economic system, and it could make your ears bleed. Take a listen:
Fast and Furious, Solyndra and the Chevy Volt are many of the scandals of the Obama administration, but the The MF Global collapse is a canary in the coal mine, and the scandal is much deeper than you know. The MF Global players are part of the crony capitalism set up by the Obama administration. While JP Morgan Chase and George Soros are snapping up the fallout at handsome profits, it seems more likely every day investors will not get their money back.
It has been stolen, by a cast of crony capitalist thieves, with full backing of the corrupt leaders in Washington. More is sure to follow in this case, and the lack of trust in the capital markets Ms. Barnhardt spoke of is growing. Technocrats, in many cases, are in control, operating against the will of the people and the rule of law.
Should a catastrophic economic collapse hit our shores, will your assets be protected from hypothecation from government owned banks? I have often been cited as a master of stating the obvious, but the time to keep your investments on a short lease is staring you in the face.
A culmination of unfortunate events, some decades old, have led to many of those in their 20's being very torqued. Propelled and partially financed by radical extremists and embolden by the thuggery of the Obama Administration, many of the disgruntled young people have joined leftist groups coming together to protest everything American across the nation in what has become known as Occupy Wall Street.
Regrettably, what we actually have is leftist organizations, many backed by billionaire George Soros, supporting a group of young people who are sadly nothing more than useful idiots as many have no idea about what they are protesting, or basic economic theory for that matter.
Try to grasp you brain around the comments of these protesters in Occupy Oakland:
With the focus of the protests in Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan, the King of all Media, New York's Howard Stern, sent staff members down to get an assessment of what is happening. While FOX News host Geraldo Rivera was deeply moved, Stern and sidekick Robin Quivers were far from impressed.
FOX Business reporter and Wall Street veteran Charles Gasparino found nothing but Marxists.
It should be noted that the owners of Zuccotti Park, Brookfield Office Properties (BPO:NYSE), have ulterior motives for allowing the lawlessness taking place in the park as they have green energy interests that have received stimulus money from the Obama administration, as reported by the Business Insider.
Beyond the incredible lack of knowledge regarding common economic theory and business practices abound, another serious problem is very visible among the protesters. Not only rapidly growing globally, again fueled by Obama, anti-Israel sentiment is rampant. Get a load of this piece of garbage, whose parents must be beaming:
President Obama has stopped just short of vocalizing full support of these anti-American free loaders, but many of his friends and cohorts, Van Jones among them, are in full support. Chaos is an ally of this group, as they never let a crisis go to waste. In what is an excellent but unfortunate true dig at the always present straw man argument of President Obama, some aim to "re-create 68", complete with violence. God help us all!
If the young people, with sound education, massive debt, no jobs and a true fear for the future were not political lemmings, they would easily recognize that any protests belong not at Wall Street, but at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue due the horrendous economic policies engaged by the Obama administration.
Certainly, many big corporations have acted with malice leading up to and during this recession, as has government. Fannie Mae (FNMA:OTC), Freddie Mac (FMCC:OTC) and Bank of America (BAC:NYSE) come to mind. For me, I am working hard to distance myself from JP Morgan Chase (JPM:NYSE), Bank of America and General Electric (GE:NYSE). In addition, as a proud lifetime user of General Motors (GM:NYSE) vehicles, purchasing another new GM product is now on hold due their interaction with Obama.
While those who have broken the law on the corner of Wall and Broad must be punished, the young people protesting should embrace Wall Street and utilize it to build wealth for their future. Wall Street capital is the lifeblood for many growth companies, and investment opportunities are plentiful. Sure, you can get burned (have I told you the story of my investment in Level 3 Communications? (LVLT:NASDAQ), but you can also build quite a nest egg and you may even hit one like Google (GOOG:NASDAQ).
Of course, understanding basic economics is a must. Those protesting must recognize that for everything they get for free, someone somewhere paid for it. There is no free lunch. In a society with no incentives, innovations will be rare, which will lead ultimately to a dying society. Is America already committing suicide? Patrick J. Buchanan dives into the issue in his new book "Suicide of a Superpower".
Incentive and innovation produce many of the products these dopes are running around using, from cell phones to I-Pads. Many are seeking use of the restroom at a nearby McDonalds, one of the greatest growth stories of all time.
I encourage the protesters to join the party by buying in on Wall and Broad! Snare 100 shares of McDonalds (MCD:NYSE) and see what happens over the next decade or so. Become a shareholder, with skin in the game. Then, provided we adequately squelch the socialist uprising and re-establish once and for all the The Kudlow Creed that free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity, America will return to all her glory.
Michele Bachmann claims Obama is a one term President. Sarah Palin called Obama a lame duck President. One thing is for sure, the negotiations surrounding the debt crisis has brought out the worst in President Obama, and his poll numbers are diving. While the President is in serious trouble and it may seem his presidency is becoming irrelevant, I fear this administration bears watching like never before.
President Obama claimed his intent to transform America. Michele Obama said Obama knew we would have to change our conversation, change our history and change our traditions. Along with the Progressives holding office, a complicit news media and the extremely lengthy tentacles of George Soros, they are closer than ever to pulling it off. Crashing the system Cloward and Piven style into a structured socialist system they have been busy constructing for decades is their goal.
America, asleep at the switch no doubt, is awakening to the extreme actions of the Obama administration. As Obama sits on the brink of launching this transformational change beyond the point of no return, the American public does not like what they see. But Obama is not going to back down quietly, his arrogance will not allow for it. And he has grander plans anyhow.
Even though Obama has been actively working around Congress from the beginning behind his slew of Czars and Cass Sunstein and is in defiance against Congress in the War Powers Act, his imperialist dreams would not allow him to formally sidestep Congress during the debt crisis en route to his own dictatorship. Or would they?
As appalled as I am by Obama's comments, the crowd cheering on the emergence of a dictatorship is unsettling to say the least. Are we in fact in danger of an Imperial Presidency? Indeed. Economist Jerry Bowyer and FOX News Andrew Napolitano discuss the possibility of Obama dodging the 14th Amendment. Take a listen.
While many have not been paying close enough attention, this type of behavior by Obama is not new. Authors Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski join Sean Hannity to discuss their book "The Blueprint". Blackwell explains Obama may perhaps only a Supreme Court Judge away from forcing this upon us. Take a listen:
America is in real trouble as freedom and liberty are at stake. It would be simple to say we are lacking leadership, but in reality we have an American impostor as Commander in Chief, an individual that does not see the fruited plain in the same way you and I visualize it. An economic neophyte, Obama is actively functioning to use economic destruction as the drive train in crashing the capitalist system, righting perceived wrongs through the transformation of wealth.
This action simply must be thwarted by any legal means possible. Backed by the TEA party, the Congressional Republicans are the only hope to block our demise. I pray they stand firm. May the words Ronald Reagan resonate the halls of Congress:
"It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles, there will be no compromise".
As this debt ceiling negotiation plays itself out, keep a keen eye on the other hand as our President is boxed into a corner, a spot he is unfamiliar being in.
A few weeks back, my Uncle, a liberal Democrat to be sure, sent word of his displeasure, wondering how a Republican can sign a pledge to follow an individual or organizations wishes irregardless of current events? I am left bewildered by the thought of his ignorance of the extensive tentacles of George Soros.
Van Jones, the smooth talking former Obama Green Jobs Czar and a committed Communist, slams the pledge:
"There's nothing wrong with having an orientation that you are reluctant to raise taxes. That is not the problem. The problem is, when you surrender your judgement as an elected official who has taken an oath to the Americna people to a single individual and sign a separate loyalty pledge away from the U.S. Constitution, that says 'no matter what happens in my country I will never let America increase tax revenues.' I think that's wrong."
Jones is a smart guy and has a point, but in his actions diverts from his thought process as he is signed, sealed and delivered for Obama, who is arrogantly circumventing the Constitution on what seems to be a weekly basis.
Former President Bill Clinton has even joined the chorus of critics, no doubt in timely deliverance as the debt ceiling date of proclaimed apocalypse approaches. The Democrats are eager to go back to the tax levels of the Clinton years, but forget about the trillions of dollars of senseless entitlement spending both parties contributed to but has exponentially expanded under Obama and tyrannical regime.
What is all this actually about? CNBC's Larry Kudlow sits down with Norquist and former Senator Archer Davis (D:AL) to sort it out:
Kudlow has it right in his assumption.
As it turns out, I am against elected officials singing pledges of this sort. However, the Democrats screaming about this are disingenuous at best.
I am reminded of the Overton Window theory. The Obama administration has spent money with wreckless abandon for years but now seeks compromise by aiming to join Republicans in a bipartisan effort to slightly move back spending (grab a mile and give back a furlong) while hoping Republicans agree to slight revenue enhancements (tax increases) to help cover the costs of exponential expansion of entitlements.
Those sneaky Dems also hope they can create dissension in the GOP over this. For example, GOP 2012 candidate Michele Bachmann has thus far not signed Jim DeMint's Cut, Cap and Balance pledge. She may not, but I have no doubt where she stands, and will vote, on this issue based on her record.
Sunshine is the best disinfectant. There are Progressives on both sides of the aisle. Thanks to these anti capitalist elites, our country is heading toward insolvency which puts our basis of pursuing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in jeapordy. They must be purged.
While I may not sign the ATR pledge, I will pledge to encourage that any Republican voting for any tax increases or to raise the debt ceiling without substantial victories will have a primary challenger.
It would serve all GOP members engaged in these discussions to hear the words of Ronald Reagan loudly!
"It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles, there will be no compromise."
Sarah Palin once again has them dazed and confused. Yes, her recent bus tour led legions of lamestream media members to complain about everything from her bus speeding to injuries caused by the lack of a trip agenda being provided to those eager beltway detectives.
Why they concern themselves with someone whom they proclaim as an idiot at large is beyond me.
Anyhow, Palin really spun their top with a supposed error in comments she made about Paul Revere, he of the midnight wild ride fame. The glee streaming across the left wing media sites over her comments on Revere, even those outside the Soros umbrella, was astonishing.
Turns out, before the laughter even subsided, she was actually correct. This certainly caught those clamoring for some fun times of Palin bashing, including the bunch over at NPR, off guard.
The media are embarrassing, and their death is imminent. While the major networks are in the bag for the left, most heavily sponsored by George Soros, new media leaders are in rapid ascension, in Andrew Briebart's network of websites and of course, Glenn Beck, who recently launched "The Blaze" and GBTV.
My call is that Palin found a topic she could bait the media on to allow them to make fools of themselves, which they did in stunning fashion. Therefore, in considering a run in 2012, Palin has measured the appetite of the media in targeting her and at the same time further discredited them for once again allowing their cancerous bias to misrepresent the events of the day.
Should she run in 2012, this incident will offer her unlimited ammunition against those mediates who have the knives out for her.
New York Congressman Anthony Weiner's hot dog is boiling over lewd tweets the recently married Representative made to various women across the country he met over social media network Twitter. A mouthpiece and hit man of the Progressive Democrats, Weiner is being called on to resign from both sides of the aisle. Rightfully so, although I hope he hangs on as a complete embarrassment for the Democrats, who under Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed to "drain the swamp."
Both Pelosi and Winer are frauds.
Remember the little nerd in your high school who constantly ran his mouth and seemed to always be cruisin for a brusin? Enter Weiner, who arrogantly ran his trap incessantly.
Weiner utilized his position to engage in attack of enemies of the left, and the example of him publicly berating and holding Congressional hearings on FOX News Glenn Beck his sponsorship relationship with Goldline. Unemployment is through the roof, and this is what Weiner is up to when he is not tweeting his harem. Keep in mind, Weiner is a progressive who thinks he can make responsible decisions for you better than you can.
It is bad enough that as a sitting Congressman, with the country seemingly on fire, Weiner acted in this fashion and put himself in position to be blackmailed by nefarious enemies of the US, but he spent the better part of a week lying to colleagues, the news media, the American people and it appears his family.
While the so called mainstream media is asleep at the switch, it is actual newsmen like Briebart who break stories and function as the watchdogs of our out of control government. Weiner, in fact, singled out Andrew Breibart as the individual who supposedly "hacked" his Twitter account. Like most everything coming out of Weiner's pie hole, that is a lie.
Incredibly, it is Briebart getting hammered the mainstream media, with The Daily Kos leading much of the Soros media in the attack. The vicious attacks do not end with Weiner. The San Francisco Chronicle questioned whether Briebart is a gay guy in the closet?
Prior to Weiner's scheduled news conference Monday, where he lied yet again, Briebart had enough and highjacked the podium seeking vindication.
Those not attacking Briebart are swing a big stick in support of the Congressman. Formerly respected Barbara Walters lamented that if Sarah Palin could go out on a bus tour promoting America, then Weiner could "get away with this and remain a US Congressman." Rather than Weiner being a scumbag, Walters said today that perhaps it was Viagra that caused his actions. Both Weiner and Walters are idiots.
MSNBC's Chris Matthews thinks Weiner's lovely wife is "partly responsible."
From the moment I heard of the upcoming news conference, I knew this arrogant blow hard would not resign. Democrats rarely if ever do, as pointed out by Gateway Pundit.
I suspect Weiner may have legal troubles which lie ahead which could lead him to resign. At any rate, his teeth are removed. With Weiner effectively silenced, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the leader of the Progressive hit squad, and she thinks Weinergate is no big deal. Go figure!
What in the world is going on these days? Was there a malfunction on the transporter Mr. Scott?
Every decision made by our current administration, and President Obama in particular, lacks even a hint of common sense. You can feel it, and see it.
If you are a follower of the blog, you recognize I am a fan of Glenn Beck. Beck has been hitting the nail on the head for quite some time, but it jumped the shark on Thursday in my opinion.
As my friend Budah quipped over the weekend, while we love our country, we are not very fond of our government these days. And with good reason! Unfortunately, it is worse than you could imagine.
Beck lays the case out, and you must hear the case, for it is most compelling. The sovereignty of our nation is at stake, on several fronts. Energize!
The enemies inside the gate are counting on you sitting it out.
Glenn advises us of a famous quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
Free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity. If the enemies inside the gate succeed in their actions, we will as Ronald Reagan said, slide into generations of darkness.
In the spirit of Reagan and our Founding Fathers, won't you join me in the fight for freedom!
It has been a busy week. Did you get your brackets filled out? Get all the accommodations made made on the next of your monthly vacations? Me neither.
While the world is seemingly on fire, what with our great friends in Japan suffering unparalleled disaster and the middle east in significant turmoil, Obama got all this done. He is all Rock Talk Jayhawk to cut the nets down.
Our response to the crisis in Japan is most troubling, as is most of the significant moves made by Obama. Beyond that, however, is a much more serious matter, and that has to deal with the action undertaken in Libya. I know what you are thinking, and you are right. But there is more.
We were all scratching our heads on the apparent dithering going on as President Obama watched as Colonel Muammar Gaddafi blasted rebels in country, threatening to cleanse them. While we are not the policemen of the world, but we do expect a level of leadership from our Commander in Chief.
We were not getting that leadership in this case. Why? It is not hard to come to a conclusion. Obama may claim he is not tight with Rev. Jeremiah Wright or Louis Farrakhan, but he is, and these guys are friends with Gaddafi. So while Obama will claim publicly Gaddafi "has to go", he will sit out the affair.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was reportedly incensed by the failure of Obama to make a decision in this matter, but she knows the real story. Already this week, we have heard in the media that Hillary would have been better as President in this arena, even from Rudy Giuliani. As I have written before, tread most carefully on that score.
France, leaders in absolutely nothing but surrender over the years, took the lead under President Nikolas Sarkozy to form a coalition to enter into military action against Libya. After getting the United Nations on board, Obama had no choice but to reluctantly go along.
Now, Obama has got a whole slew of issues that extend far beyond the lack of any orchestrated plan of action in Libya. First, by not consulting the Congress, did Obama act outside his constitutional authority in attacking Libya? J. B. Williams over at American Thinker makes that case.
In fact, Obama has been very effective at operating outside of Congress, from the appointing of the Czars early in his administration to enforcing cap and trade measures through the office of the EPA.
With the military action, Obama's base of support, including Wright and Farrakhan, have issued stern rhetoric his way. Weasel Zippers has more on Farrakhan. Certainly, all the left wing moon bats and George Soros led organizations will be up in arms over such action, or is that just when George W. Bush is in office? Will they turn on him?
The real story here is Obama is not against Gaddafi as you and I are. Obama is on the side of Wright and Farrakahn, who share the same beliefs as Gaddafi. The actions of France, France mind you, put Obama in a reluctant position of acting. Otherwise, one would expect, even given our media, reasonable questions regarding his beliefs in the role of America in the world would be put forth.
The real answer to those questions is not the same answers you and I would give. Any sound thought on the subject would draw this conclusion. You can learn volumes about someone by the company they keep. With Obama, it is not E. F. Hutton, Great Britain and Japan; it is Venezuela and the likes of Gaddafi, Farrakahn and his nation of Islam, and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
In my daily whip around the world wide web in search of credible information, I usually make a stop by The Drudge Report. In recent days, some of the stories I came across there echo what I feel in my gut, that the world has practically turned inside, outside, upside down.
Presented below are a handful of recent stories with some short commentary on each.
China downgrades US as our economic situation continues to worsen. China is not innocent in destabilizing trade and currency manipulation, but given they hold so much of our debt, we are in a pickle. Hopefully, we learned from The Great Depression that protectionism is not a prudent avenue to travel, but given our recent actions we have not. Not only are we engaging in dangerous trade policies, we are manipulating our own currency.
It appears there is an Orderly Decline of the Dollar taking place. Central to sound economics, and a pillar of the Reagan Revolution, is a strong dollar. With The FED exhausting the printing press, it would seem that our debt is being monetized, decreasing the value of the dollar, which is quite dangerous. Billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros, who Glenn Beck is accurately exposing this week, has called for global governance. Soros, who has crashed foreign currencies and is noted as the man who broke The Bank of England, controls through media operations and financial positions much of the progressive agenda wrecking our sovereignty. Through an orderly decline of the dollar, Soros and his agents can remove monetary power of the single largest obstacle to global governance, which is the free market capitalists of The United States of America. This is quite alarming, and even The Maestro, former FED Chair Alan Greenspan, is concerned.
Off the west coast, low and behold, we find Unidentified Flying Missiles. After decades of being spooked by the potential existence of spaceships and aliens, nobody seems the slightest bit alarmed that the apparent missile launch cannot, at least publicly, be explained by any US military or governmental official. Surely, with all the high level security we got over at Area 51, we can come up with something plausible. It seems the public thinks this is no big deal. Maybe Big Foot water skiing on Lake Tahoe would do it, but given the American Idiot society we live in these days, maybe not. Then again, what is this firestreak across the NYC skyline?
Obama Slams Israel yet again, which is the opposite position of every President of my lifetime. It boggles the mind how this guy got elected, but I can assure you the greater majority of the US citizenry does not concur with his repeated Israel bashing. Nor do we appreciate his continuing assault on America from foreign soil. Back in the day, this would not be tolerated, and should not be now.
Government Elites Living Large during high level meeting to discuss fraud in the stimulus package. The whole thing is a fraud, and the administration going around pontificating about the several million jobs they saved or created is nothing short of lying to the American people. This erroneous rhetoric raises my already elevated blood pressure. Since when do we tolerate our President lying to our face in discussion of his stimulus package, and then, having his administration slap us upside the face by having lavish meetings to investigate fraud in the package. I recognized the fraud the day it was announced.
A Stranded Ship Although I have always been a boater and have been offshore in my own boat on many occasions, I have always been inclined to steer clear of the cruise ships. Perhaps it is a control thing, who knows. Warnings after 9-11 about terrorists potentially unleashing some sort of deadly virus aboard one further extended my apprehension. I now read of a Carnival cruise ship floating powerless in the Pacific due to an engine fire, creating less than favorable conditions aboard while waiting rescue. No doubt, an odd turn of events which one would not wish to be part of. On top of that, the beer was warm.
Obama AWOL on Veterans as he barely recognized the heart and soul of our great nation, our Veterans, on Veterans day. The sacrifices made by our Veterans go far beyond what any words can describe, but one word I never hear from President Obama, is victory, Our country exists today because our Veterans were victorious. Today, Hail to the Victors! My heartfelt thanks and may God Bless You All!
There are many very puzzling things going on these days, so much so it seems that life has turned inside, outside and upside down. I conclude the worst is not behind us yet, so adhere to the principles of your faith, the founding fathers and free market capitalism to weather the storm.
It is quite apparent that the presidency of Barack Obama, for reasons that are much to lengthy to list, is an epic failure and his poll numbers are in free fall. Mr. Obama shows absolutely no sign of reversing course as he truly believes in the social justice and redistribution of wealth paths he is taking America down. With every passing day, suspicion grows that Obama recognizes he will be a one term Office holder and will make every effort to ram his policies into law before he gets thrown out of office.
While this may sound great to most Americans, and it is, it appears America will be given an unexpected choice to perhaps guide the future of our nation. I fear many Americans will tend to be comfortable with this potential candidate, with many thinking this is who they wanted in the first place. That person is Hillary Clinton, and the narrative is already being placed out for public consumption. Remember how America supposedly thinks Hillary is most qualified to be President?
I am going to illustrate to you that should she be elected, most of the policies Obama championed will be continued or enacted and America as you once knew it will be gone forever.
Of note, although they both admire and subscribe to the teachings of Saul Alinsky, there are political differences between Obama and Clinton. Obama subscribes to the black liberation theology, where governmental control through mechanisms like heath care initiates wealth redistribution not only as a vehicle toward socialism but to act as a form of reparations, having the oppressors give back what they supposedly stole. Hillary is simply behind wealth distribution as a tenant of socialism, control and global governance.
First, it must be emphasized that Hillary Clinton is a Progressive, and you may recall her adamantly stating that in on of the 2008 Democratic Debates.
Secondly, evidence suggests she is part of a radical clique under the direction of billionaire hedge fund operator George Soros that seeks to impelment a socialist structure and undermine American power and exceptionalism. This was outlined in a book by David Horowitz and Richard Poe called The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party. Front Page magazine interviewed author Richard Poe, who offered extensive details on the subject.
Although the book was written in 2006, we can see the premise was spot on. The Democratic Party our Parents were part of no longer exists, having been hijacked by the Progressives. Globally, Soros has almost single handily wrecked the currencies of a few countries and has interjected himself and his policies into the political landscape through organizations he funds like MoveOn.org and The Center for American Progress, left wing think tanks and enormous fund raising arms. He is also heavily involved in the cap and trade debate and was recently among the largest, if not the largest, shareholders of Pertrobras, a Brazilian Oil Company the Obama administration has helped fund. Soros is a known socialist, and as Poe details in the interview, in his book The Age of Fallibility, Soros writes, “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States".
According to the book, although Clinton was not directly associated with the Shadow Party group, she is closely tied to Soros and his organizations. For example, John Podesta, chief of staff to Bill Clinton, is the president of The Center for American Progress.
What can we learn from Hillary herself about the direction she would be taking America if she were in charge. We can look no further than her speech at the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute in Kyiv on June 2, 2010:
It’s important, too, that we look at how to promote broadly-based prosperity. One of the problems in societies around the world today is that too much of the productivity of the economies are going to too few. Too few people, the political and economic elite, are realizing the vast majority of benefits from economic activity. It’s true in my own country where, unfortunately, economic inequality is increasing. And it’s true in Ukraine. It’s true in Europe and Asia and Africa and South America. So part of the challenge of economic growth and prosperity is to make sure it gets down and equally spread among people. And we have to work towards spurring investment and long-term growth in Ukraine. And we have to work together to end corruption in both the public and the private sectors.
Certainly, that statement about the redistribution of wealth speaks volumes and gives strong indication Clinton subscribes to the current redistributive policies Obama is enacting.
Obviously, there was a large contingent of support for Hillary Clinton in 2088. Given the epic failure of President Obama, smelling blood and running out of years, I think there is a strong possibility Hillary challenges Obama.
Given the abysmal behavior of our news media, there is likely to be an overwhelming group of moderate, independent voters who may think Hillary is who represents them and allows for them to right the wrong of electing Obama, win one for the women and support the candidate many of them think they wanted in the first place.
If this should occur, these voters will be burned again as the policies implemented by President Obama will be expanded upon as the socialistic movement of the Progressives will cement their spot in the American fabric and life as our parents Democrats, and us, once knew may be gone forever.
BMW is very excited by the feedback from it's 2013 Vision hybrid concept supercar. Although by the time it hits showrooms, it will lose some of the exterior flair and perhaps morph into a four door sedan, it will no doubt be hailed by the media, as it likely should. Actually, in looking at it, it seems GM has/had a vehicle that has similarities in it's exterior appearance that has very similar chassis characteristics and weight differential that drew very high marks from the automotive media. You guessed it, the Pontiac G8 GXP.
Famed longtime GM executive Bob Lutz labeled the Pontiac G8 Grand Prix GXP "America's BMW", and many automotive journalists agree, as noted HERE, HERE and HERE. It is unfortunate, that President Barack Obama, in a rare display of his Mount Rushmore brilliance, fired GM CEO Rick Wagoner and placed the fortunes moving forward of General Motors, and Pontiac, in the hands of a complete neophyte named Brain Deese.
Pontiac, regrettably for the American consumer, did not survive. On that note, although I remain irate at this development, I am happy to have a G8 Grand Prix GXP in the garage.
