Resisting The Power Elite

How shall we resist the power elite?  First, we must understand them.

The typical member is a "Rockefeller type" who sits at home at his country estate or penthouse apartment with his feet up, ensconced on his throne, laughing at the people who swallow the poison cocktail of propaganda emanating from their "proxies," i.e., their media prostitutes, apologists, and useful idiots!  It must be one of their greatest pleasures and accomplishments in life to see us all believe everything they shove down our brainless throats.

Don't listen to them!  They are all evil, dizzy with power, and arrogant to a degree you cannot imagine (but you must try).  I picture them like Charlie Chaplin playing Hitler in "The Great Dictator," fondling his globe, dreaming of limitless power, conquest, rule, of the entire world, fondling and caressing it, lovingly, madly, obsessively, tossing and turning it in his hands and on his feet, as the plaything and symbol of his uncontrollable madness.

Focus more of your attention on THE POWER ELITE and their mad network of INTERLOCKING RELATIONSHIPS.  It is THEY who are the real power behind the throne.  Wake up and do this before it is too late and you have lost your heads, mad with thirst and hunger, cowering with fear, mired in poverty, and powerless to resist their nefarious aims.

Don't cooperate with them, don't acquiesce, don't listen to them, resist them, tell them 'no,' correct them, remind them that they are children of God and will be judged for their crimes, protest, boycott, go on strikes, clog the streets and government offices, file petitions and lists of grievances with your elected officials, pester them, harass them, write them, e-mail them, lecture them, CONTROL them!  Take the initiative! 

The enemy postures in gallant show, but you must stop being afraid of them!  They cannot control us all.  If we all refuse to cooperate with them, there is nothing they can do about it!  Sic semper tyrannis!   

Their sin is that they are attempting to play "god."  They plan to turn this world into a totalitarian state, a so-called "New World Order" (read: dictatorial hell on earth), instead of "Novus Ordo Seclorum" (A New Order of the Ages, and what the Founding Fathers had planned for us). 

But they are in for a surprise; they will only succeed in destroying the world because of their utopian schemes rather than turning it into "paradise."  They are unleashing forces upon the world that even they will not be able to control!  When it does get out of control, they will blame it all ON YOU! 

Ultimately, THEY THEMSELVES are also useful idiots of the Devil, though their unbelievable pride, hubris, and arrogance has blinded them to this tragic fact.

In sum, the power elite has perverted and usurped government structures.  THEY control the government, the money, and all the critical industries which sustain life on this planet.  They OWN the politicians because THEY have all the money.  THEY control the FED and all the other "central banks," thus, they can buy off anyone or anything they want.  That is why you must not fall into the trap and illusion of thinking that there is any longer any difference between Democrats and Republicans.
 
Those days are long gone.

Going Green? No Thanks

Green is another "dominant social theme."  Don't fall for it, folks.

This whole idea of a "stimulated economy" is completely absurd and flies in the face of sound economic theory.  It is a complete and total fraud.  It is legalized plunder! 

The plunderers assume that you will fall in love with their "stimulus money" because it was stolen from somebody else and not from you!  They figure that since you were on the receiving end of the loot, why should you care? 

This "stimulus money" is a sop meant to hook you all on government largesse, making you compliant, subservient, desperate, obedient, fearful, and unable to resist the next phase of their mad, utopian-socialist-dictatorial scheme.  It is meant to strip you of your rights, and destroy the free market.  The "stimulus," like all other temptations and "dominant social themes," is meant to persuade, brainwash, and bamboozle you into accepting authoritarian measures to fix the phony "crises" trumped up by the power elite themselves.
 
Don't fall for it!  Don't swallow the poison!  Don't listen to the propaganda mouthpieces!

The government doesn't have the money for these things.  It is either simply printed (with no backing or collateral of any kind), or BORROWED.  In addition, this money is "fiat money," money not backed by gold or silver which national monetary authorities have the power to issue WITHOUT LEGAL CONSTRAINTS.  That means that they can print as much as they want, inflate it, toss it around anywhere they like (even to foreign banks!) to buy people off, strengthen their grip on power, punish their enemies, or shut people up.

Now it doesn't look like such a great idea, does it, folks?

"creating jobs"?  Government DOES NOT "create jobs"!  It takes resources away from the private sector, ostensibly to provide "vital services" that the public cannot easily do without.  But the latter and noble idea of republican government was long ago tossed overboard by the crooks BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE government, working hand in glove, in a cabal, REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATION, forming a wonderfully lucrative conspiracy, to rip this country off six ways to Sunday while turning you all into serfs at the same time.

Perhaps some words of wisdom from the Frenchman, Frederic Bastiat would be a propos:

"Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone."

Lying Politicians

There is a long line of politicians of both stripes who are liars.

 

The bad news is that they lie about everything.

The good news is that the Internet is making it harder and harder for them to lie to us. But we must not suffer the illusion that they are the ones really setting the agenda, though we all know they should be. It is the power elite which is calling the shots, make no mistake.

Take Bill Clinton, so-called "liberals" screamed that his sexual peccadilloes did not rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors," conveniently ignoring lying under oath, perjury, suborning perjury, offering hush money to government employees, using government resources for personal gain, engaging in graft, destroying the reputations of innocent people, sending out goon squads to harass former girl friends.
Clearly, he is an unmitigated cad, a scoundrel, a rascal, a knave, a varlet, a blackguard, a slubberdegullion, a pathological liar, a thief, a sly and brazen hypocrite, an alleged rapist, a satyr, a sexual predator contantly on the prowl, a pettifogger, a misogamist, a misogynist, a con man, an abuser of power, an incipient tyrant, a traitor, and a total disgrace to the presidency.  Have I missed anything?

Was Clinton alone in this? Hardly!

Was he an extraordinarily bad president who should never have been allowed anywhere near a government office of any kind, let alone the Oval Office? You bet!

If it's any consolation to "liberals," I am reading and hearing more and more bad things about the Bush family on the Internet. The prognosis for that family does not look good.

P.S.,

One good thing Clinton did was to help me increase my vocabulary.

It Just Keeps Getting Bigger

People never seem to learn.  Once again, the banks have betrayed us.  How many times must this happen before we catch on to the scam?  I could go back in time and give a short history lesson on the criminal valences of central banking, but what for?  All the talk, typing, and blogging in the world won't do any good if people do not absorb it all into their bones.  And in their bones is right where it needs to be, because we are now in the jaws of Leviathan and cannot afford any more major mistakes.
 
Today's news on "the economic crisis" is not good.  There is talk of a yet deeper crisis.  The "bubble" is getting bigger, and no one with the power and authority seems to be willing to stop it.  Bankers and their clever system of "central banking," and its technique of "fractionality" are at the center of the storm and its cause.  No doubt about that.  They are still engaging in unsound lending practices.  But as long as a compliant federal government continues to bail them out because they are "too big to fail," we are stuck in a downward spiral right into a financial black hole. 
 
This disaster has to be by design.  It's a cabal.  The "money power" is not stupid.  They know their business inside and out.  They also know the frailties of human nature inside and out.  I have seen programs outlining the typical financial disaster scams perpetrated by banks in the past.  Learn banking fraud in just a few easy steps:  Manufacture the "crisis" by lending to those who cannot pay the loans back.  This leads to foreclosures.  The banks get "bailouts" from their friends in the federal government to protect their interests while the public gets nothing.  The FED, which overseas the whole criminal banking empire, has insulation from oversight or auditing, even by Congress itself, so....no worries!  Some Congressmen do ask tough questions sometimes, but the dialog leads nowhere. 
 
Ultimately, the process leads to a financial panic and the elimination of a lot of the competition (banks and industrialists hate competition).  The surviving banks and industrialists rush back in and buy up assets for pennies on the dollar.  It's a financial massacre.  Then they own everything!
 
That means they will own you.  What shall we call this status?  Debt slavery?  Serfdom?  Take your pick.  Whatever it is, it was never planned for by the Founding Fathers, though they did their damndest to warn us of these very dangers.  But nobody reads the Founding Fathers anymore.  Too bad.  Some of that wisdom might have rubbed off on us, and God knows we could use it right now.  A few good Dead White European Males might be the only ones who can lead us out of this wasteland, though contemporary (and non-white) economists such as Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams have joined the fray and warned us of these dangers as well with excellent commentary, great books, and sage advice.  Any and all sage advice is welcome.  We need all the help and brain power that we can get! 
 
Obviously, this situation cannot go on forever.  It will implode.  But what will that implosion do to all the rest of us?  But just as obviously, we will get no solution from the bankers if they have anything to say about it.  And they do.  The same people who created the disaster are in charge of "the solution."  But their solution is simply more debt, more "bailouts," and the printing of more and more "fiat money," backed only by yet more fiat money.  Salvation must come from somewhere else. 
 
But from where?  From whom?  People do not know whom to turn to.  Some sanity had better get back into the picture damned straight and quick or we will have a panic on our hands and get hit with civil unrest of a magnitude which will astonish even our "money masters."  As a matter of fact, I think that the bankers have miscalulated the magnitude and danger of this crisis.  It is taking on a life of its own, and will not necessarily be controlled by fiat, edict, or proclamation, no matter what the source.  Typically, when reason fails, force takes over.  But in this case, it may be too late, even for force. 
 
Sanity, sense, and true leadership which keeps it head while others are losing theirs are the only things which are going to lead us back to the promised land.  And one other thing: the Internet and its incredibly powerful information exchange, data emporium, and watchdog of freedom.  People are talking to each other and catching on to the scams and lies as never before.  History is being made.  This is bigger by far than the invention of the printing press.  Government lies have a very short shelf life now.  The Internet has arrived just in time to save the world.

Is the Power Elite Losing Its Grip on Power?

I do think that the power elite is losing its stranglehold over America.  How much or how fast this is actually happening is a matter of speculation.  If one accesses the Internet regularly, it definitely seems that the process is proceeding full speed ahead, for the Internet is aflame with reports and video programs chronicling the loss.  "Conspiracy theory" is one of the hottest topics on the net.  I feel certain that in some cases, people in the intelligence agencies and other well-connected individuals, are leaking information at regular intervals to their favorite news outlets and websites. 

When I venture out of my house, however, I get quite another picture. I meet many people, far too many, who are blissfully unaware of the power elite, the vast majority, in fact.  Nobody I know talks about it except me.  Well, I finally have my children in my camp on this, it is true.  I even got one of my kids to send the Aaron Russo video out to their friends on the net.

What does this all mean?  I'm sure that in one sense it means that a lot of people with whom I meet are dreadfully uneducated, and miseducated.  In another, it means that the power elite has been remarkably successful in keeping their agenda well under cover.

What worries me most, though, is what will the power elite do about all this?  How will they react?  Will they do something rash or dangerous if they feel as threatened by this new "Gutenberg Press" as I think they do?  Perhaps the best way to answer that is to consider the problem from their point of view.  When I do this, I think of all that power concentrated into so few hands, and that makes me very nervous.

Such questions are another very hot topic on the Internet as well.  Look at 9/11.  The Internet has called the official investigation into serious question, if not destroyed it outright.  I did not realize this until I got into the Internet reports and videos and was able to consider the issue for myself.  The "resisters" have a point; we have been lied to and want answers, NOW!  No more lies!  So far they are not talking, but public pressure is building.  Government officials have, in my opinion, completely lost whatever credibility they may have had in the past. 

But where do we go from there?  Will the next elections solve this problem?  I rather doubt it.  I think there are going to be some more convulsions, red herrings, and "false flag" events to throw us off the scent, confuse us, and persuade us into accepting more of their authoritarian "solutions."

If you were in the shoes of the power elite, would you just stand by and let your empire crumble?  Not likely.  Think of the sheer arrogance of these people.  Patricians and royalty all, they have for generations groomed themselves for their "New World Order," and they are not about to let that dream slip away.

Who's Looking Out For You?

Who's looking out for you?  Not the SEC, apparently.  I have just heard about Harry Markapolos' new book: No One Would Listen: A True Financial Thriller , dealing with his investigations of the gigantic Bernard Madoff swindle.  This is the biggest crime that I have ever heard of, unless you want to count the Obama "stimulus" and record deficits.  Then let's call it the biggest financial crime headed by one individual ever. 

But make no mistake, good old Bernie had plenty of help from his buddy conspirators.  In essence, they all were just fancy mafiosi out to steal their way to financial nirvana.  But they had some surprising and unexpected help along the way: a scandalously, ominously, compliant SEC.  How can that be, you say?  Citizen, where have you been?  This is standard practice at the SEC!  Gossip has it that the SEC is sitting on the knowledge of many billions more in swindles.  Markapolos says that this Madoff stuff was just the tip of the ice berg.  Can anyone doubt him?

But an even bigger scandal was that after Markapolos caught on to Madoff, he tried to get the SEC to investigate him for something like 8 or 10 years without success!  Incredible!  Finally, after all that time, the FBI finally arrested Madoff, but not until some 55-65 BILLION dollars in investor money had been lost and untold, world-wide damage to investors had been done.

Why did the SEC not act on the information received from the Markapolos' tipsters in a timely manner?  Why the interminable delay?  What was going on all that time behind closed doors?  According to Markapolos, he and his team gave the SEC all the information that they needed, and still they did not investigate any further or take any action until years and years after the fact!  Why?

Something is very wrong at the SEC, and not only the SEC, but I suspect at nearly every federal agency.  They are not looking out for us!  That means to me that they are looking out for the interests of somebody else, and it is not the little guy, the citizenry, or the general public!  Rather, these scoundrels are looking out for the interests of the biggest, most powerful money interests and oligarchs on this planet.

The officials at the SEC have much to answer for.  It's time they were called out on the carpet and made to answer the hard questions.  It's time for a clean sweep of their personnel.  Everybody will be checked out, investigated, vetted, found clean or dirty.  No more "stonewalling" and "footdragging" from the SEC!

The Power Elite Overstretched?

It appears that the EU is beginning to crumble.  The recent economic horror stories have been harbingers of all that's wrong with the central banking, money-power cabal which now has Europe in its grip.  News of bickering in the EU "Parliament" has just come out.  It seems that British MEP Nigel Farage read EU President, Bilderberg member, and global governance proponent Herman van Rompuy the riot act for being “the quiet assassin of European nation states,” as he put it.
 
The EU is obviously a creature and creation of the power elite, only one of several mad schemes on their path to total planetary domination.  Here in the U.S., their scheme goes by the name of NAU (North American Union).
 
But the whole scheme appears to be imploding as the central banking system prints endless amounts of "fiat money," inflates, makes toxic loans, protects itself with "bailout money," and buys back assets from foreclosures and bankruptcies for pennies on the dollar.  They plan to own everything on the planet, but they seem to have overstretched.  Everything is falling apart as if the entire world were hit with a killer financial virus for which there is no antidote.  The very earth that the power elite stands on may crumble under their feet as well as ours.
 
Hold on to your hats, citizens.

Gun Control in the National Parks?

An editorialist in the local paper is complaining about a new law allowing people to carry guns in our parks in California.  He thinks it will make our parks more dangerous.  This is a classic example of the utter insanity of gun-control advocates.  This is pure propaganda from the power elite, but with a much larger agenda.  If not, why bother?

I think they know perfectly well the truth of the matter; it's all about CONTROL of the people.

One of the most cherished goals of these maniacs is to disarm the people. All dictatorships have done this. This one will, too, if we let them.

Remember also that Obama wants to have his own private, domestic, military force, separate from, but just as big, just as powerful, the regular military (you can probably bring up his speech on this on You Tube).

I presume that they will also be just as well armed as the regular military.

But not you! You will be UNARMED! Why would it be so appropriate, so desireable, so lawful for THEM to be armed, but not you???  What does Obama intend to do with this "domestic military force"?  Is this even constitutional?  Why aren't alarm bells going off all over the place?  Why aren't more people speaking up?

Why is it so
"terrible" and "sinful" for you to want to be able to protect yourself?  I'll tell you why.  It's because these tyrants will have a much easier time of taking over this country if the people are unarmed and helpless.

Go to You Tube. Type in: jesse ventura conspiracy theory big brother

Watch the program and keep your powder dry.

Dominant Social Themes

The "health-care crisis," like "man-made global warming," has no basis in reality. None.

 

Then what are they? They are what is sometimes called "Dominant Social Themes."

According to the free market website:
 

http://www.thedailybell.com/index.asp

A "dominant social theme" is a belief system (usually concerning a purported social or natural problem) launched by the monetary elite that grows into an archetype or "meme," usually after much repetition. The problem may be centered on people themselves (overpopulation) or caused by people (global warming).  Dominant social themes often are launched from the centers of the power elite's global architecture, including the United Nations, World Bank, World Trade Organization and World Health Organization, where the related problems are declared to be such. The themes are then rebroadcast by the mainstream media.

Clever isn't it?

Prohibitively high prices for medical care are primarily caused by overregulation of the industry by government.

Prices are what control and guide our economy, at least when it is allowed to function normally as the free market it was meant to be. When government interferes with too many regulations, it needlessly drives prices up.

Prices are the nexus and controlling mechanism, and "brain," if you will, of our economic system. Rather than an elite, command-and-control group of "finance ministers," or a king, prices are what get the job done, though it seems paradoxical to a person who knows nothing of economics. The command-and-control scheme is what Obama and his henchmen want to foist on us.

In such a scheme, those in charge would simply issue orders that things be done, produced, distributed, and so forth, all done by fiat and edict. Oligarchies, Communism/Socialism, and Kingships, are examples of such systems. Obama would have believe that a socialist system would be the best, though this is nonsense, of course. To live in such a system would be to live in a dictatorship. Thus, Obama is trying to sell you on the "joys" of living in a dictatorship!

Our economy is superior to such tyrannical systems because PRICES control the flow of goods and services to where they are needed most and can make the most money and do the most good. We do not need a little group of dictators or bureaucrats making the zillions of decisions which must be made in an huge economy of scale like ours.

Besides, the elite bureaucrats in charge would be quickly overwhelmed with all these zillions of decisions. They could not do anything without instantly becoming dicators, because only a dictator could have and exercise the unlimited power necessary to make the economy and its people move and do things.

This DOES NOT mean that government has no role to play in business, as skeptics are always quick to scream that "we think." It does. The rule of law is a critical factor in an economy by maintaining order like a referee. It offers predictability and stability, inspires confidence that rationality instead of whim and fiat will prevail.

The problem is that now the government is both referee and player! The rule of law has been distorted into an intimidating, arbitrary, and dictatorial spoils system for the power elite.

That drives up prices by distorting markets, diverting scarces resources with alternative uses into less productive and less rational areas, and by preventing businesses from moving forward with plans because nobody can figure out or predict the byzantine workings or plans of the government.

When Will the Bailouts Stop?

Just read about Ron Paul's speculation about the Greek bailout.  Did the U.S. Federal Reserve bail out Greece?  Nobody outside the Fed knows, including Ron Paul, but he suspects (and he is far from alone) that the Fed is secretly bailing out the whole world, country by country!  Note that the Fed is exempt from normal banking disclosure and audit laws with respect to agreements with foreign central banks.
 
How convenient.  In other words, the American people are operating virtually blind in this business, totally dependent as were are on the bankers in the Fed.  We have nothing to go on but faith here!  This will never do! 
 
Greece is, of course, far from alone in the latest series of falling financial dominoes.  Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and Latvia must be added to the list.  These countries all have strong ties to Goldman Sachs.  The thinking is that the fall, or "default" of these countries on their debts could adversely affect U.S. banking cartels.  No kidding.
 
Turning over our fate to the bankers via the Federal Reserve Act (1913) with its fractional reserve banking and "fiat money" is what has gotten us into this mess.  As Woodrow Wilson put it years ago:
 
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.
A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.
Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation,
therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely
controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world.
No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by
conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by
the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
 
Who could have said it better?  And things are many times WORSE than when he said those words.  Oh, heavens, what have we done?  I see no good end to this, but rather a floodtide of collapsing currency, defaults, inflation, monster debt farther than the eye can see, and destruction, depression, and anarchy in its wake.  No wonder the Bilderbergs are quietly planning for the institution of martial law.  Now that they have gutted all the money in the world and ruined the economy of the entire earth, even far into the future, what else can they do?

Some Thoughts on Central Banking and the Fed

I've been spending a lot of time lately looking at central banking and the Fed.  Wow, is this ever a bone of contention among economists right now!  Looks like a fight to the death between free market politicians and economists/scholars, such as Ron Paul, the people at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, etc., and the Federal Reserve Board and its many faceless, anonymous, backers.
I've gone back in time in my reading to various incidents: the death struggle between Andrew Jackson and Nicholas Biddle in the 1830's over the Bank of the United States (BUA).  That was quite an eye opening story!  Once I had a grasp of what had happened, I began to understand the critical nature of money to political systems and to liberty. 
 
It seems that the U.S. had an original Bank of the United States chartered by George Washington, but it didn't work out.  Then there was the BUA which lasted until Andrew Jackson killed it after a protracted battle in 1836.  There followed the Panic of 1837.  Ever since, there has been an uneasy relationship between government and the bankers.  Andrew Jackson did not trust them.  Neither did Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln.
 
It appears to me that Woodrow Wilson and Congress made a huge mistake in signing the Federal Reserve Act.  Think of the power that those bankers acquired with this new law!  When we were on the gold standard, at least there was SOME control over these guys, but when we went off the gold standard in 1933, that opened the gates to riches beyond the dreams of avarice not only for bankers, but whomever they wished to shower our treasures upon!  Can you say "quid pro quo"?  Can you say INTERLOCKING RELATIONSHIPS? 
 
Oh, the possibilities for the abuse of power which these unwise moves unleashed!  It boggles the mind!  No matter which way you attack the money elite, they have a way to stop you.  But surely we have been betrayed by our own Congress, except for Ron Paul, and, perhaps, a handfull of others.  As for the typical Congressmen, they have acquiesced in this tyrannical money system and refuse to bring it to heel, for their own enrichment and our ruin.
 
Look at the situation that we find ourselves in now.  The number one problem with the Fed is its power to print money.  When they "bail out" somebody, they just print the money to do it.  This causes inflation.  Moreover, they bail out failing business who should be allowed to fail, go into bankruptcy, and have their assets sold off.  End of problem.  But no, they shower trillions in taxpayer dollars printed out of thin air to prop up failing enterprises which they should let go out of business!  That's insane, at least from the average citizen's point of view!  From the point of view of the Fed, it is "business as usual," a wonderful way to get rich and powerful, a method full of infinite possibilities for the expansion of their power and wealth, a way of rewarding their many confederates, and a way of stifling any challenges to their tyranny.  Who the hell can challenge them when they have the power to print money and give it to whomever they wish?   
 
There are no audits of the Fed.  Their meetings are secret.  Evidently, they can give money to anyone they want, even in a foreign country.  They have immense power over our lives!
 
In reality, the Fed is accountable to NO ONE.   I think the Fed should be abolished and the Department of the Treasury should take over their duties, especially the power to print money.  Our money should be backed by GOLD.  We should go back on the "Gold Standard."  That would impose controls over the senseless, mad, printing and inflating of our currency, with all the attendant disasters caused thereby.  Banking should be private and independent, not a quasi-public business and "cartel."  There is certainly room for prudent regulation of banks in order to prevent the excesses and abuses of the type we experience in "panics," but the Fed has far too much power--beyond the dreams of avarice!

Obama the Pacifist

Obama is a pacifist and parlor pink.  This is the sort of folly one would expect from such a person.  Obviously, this is going to be a thumb-twiddling war of attrition, "tinkering at the margins," if you will (à la Bill Clinton), but with no clear resolution and NO MENTION OF FINAL VICTORY!  That is what Barry Soetoro has set us up for.  This is not going to end well.

His speech on this was really a prelude to withdrawal, "peace with honor" (even though the enemy is still not defeated).  It is a "feint," an elaborate feint, but still a feint.

Yet, even though he be a more or less typical "anti-war" socialist (he campaigned vigorously on this point in the best tradition of anti-war protesters and pandered shamelessly to that crowd), he would yet be the vehicle of deeper, more problematic and widespread war than the one that he inherited and promised to end!  How incredibly ironic and disastrous!  How many more people will die needlessly as a result?

In its best tradition, the US does not fight wars of attrition or guerilla wars, or "police actions," Vietnam being a misguided anomaly escalated by another "big government" tyrant, the dreadful LBJ, whose mental illness locked him into irrational responses and fantastic schemes, and whose obsession with power and uncontrolable arrogance blinded him to any sane alternatives. 

We do not need to fight such wars, since we have plenty of awesome weapons which can easily be brought to bear on the enemy for a very quick and decisive victory.  Think of the lives which could be saved by using our "primary weapons."  But neither Bush the Elder nor Bush the Younger would use them.  Now Soetoro won't, either.  In God's name, why not? 

We are fighting with one hand tied behind our backs!  We are fighting with "small arms."  We are fighting a guerilla war, a war of attrition, and being bled to death an inch at a time. 

We do not need or have to fight like this!  This kind of fighting is for those who HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS! (thus, the "assymmetric warfare" of the Muslim terrorists).  But if the Muslim fanatics had better, more powerful weapons to use against us, THEY WOULD NOT HESITATE TO USE THEM! 

Barry Soetoro can end this in an instant.  He had better go ahead and do so, because as in WWII, we are in a new arms race, a race against time.  In WWII, both the Germans and the Japanese had nuclear weapons programs, too, and pressed us right down to the wire.  Fortunately, we beat them to the punch.  But Truman did not hesitate to use the atom bomb to stop the fighting.

However, Barry Soetoro chides the US for somehow being "the cause of all this."  He bows before Saudi and Japanese kings.  He grovels like Hitler before Hindenburg.  He postures.  He temporizes.  He pontificates (after all, he was a law professor at U of Chicago!).  He "negotiates."  He "sits down" for coffee klatches with dictators and thinks he can "reason" with them (not realizing that the average dictator is a psychopath).

Barry Soetoro fiddles, quibbles, pettifogs, and vacillates over "diplomacy" when he would be better advised to bomb our enemies down into Hell without further ado.

Thoughts on The Information War

What's happening with the news media right now is very interesting. We have a battle royal going on between two extreme alternate realities. On one side is the so-called "mainstream media." They are the alphabet stations, CNN, etc.  I don't  watch them at all.  On the other side are the conservative, independent, free-market, outlets.  I refuse to have anything further to do with the mainstream newsmedia and their propaganda pipeline.  I've had it with their lies.  The party is over.  With the internet, I can find all sorts of alternatives to the falsified news-trash being fed a gullible populace.  I'm sure that's why Obama wants to get control of the internet. If he wants to rule, he has to control the flow of information.

We are now in an "information war," make no mistake. This war is being fought mostly in cyber space and over the air waves. This type of warfare is unprecedented. Never before has the world been so flooded with information of such variety and kind. This battle is extremely fierce and the protagonists take no prisoners. To the victors go the spoils, and the spoils are huge, as are the political consequences. There have been newspaper rivalries in the past, but nothing like this.  

It's getting so people of different persuasions can't even talk to each other.  When they do talk to each other, they sound as if they were talking about two completely different countries. How can a country go on like that without its people sharing at least SOME concepts about it???  This is reflected in the news outlets that we frequent, of course. 

At any rate, it's always been true that news outlets are very much political animals, just as man is a political animal. Although it is indeed shocking to see just how low some news media will stoop, one must keep in mind that they are suffering for their sins. Many of these newspapers are on the brink of collapse. The major TV networks' ratings are way down from what they used to be. They are losing advertising revenue. They don't look to get any better. Good riddance.

Doing Business with Mexico

All things considered, the trouble with doing business with Mexico is that it represents what I would call extreme “moral hazard,” (a financial term), as well as an actual threat to national security. We simply cannot keep the “trade corridors open,” as some politicians would like, without having the illegal aliens, drugs, pushers, Mexican Mafia, kidnappers, spies and terrorists, etc., come in also. The Mr. Peepers phase of relations between Mexico and the U.S. is over. This horrid situation calls for a complete reconsideration of treaties and all other aspects of interaction between Mexico and the U.S.
Short of that, more kidnappings, spill-over violence, hordes of illegal aliens bankrupting us, while our nation quickly disintegrates into a state of what?...anarchy?, revolution?, civil war?, servile war?, peasants’ war?, secession of whole regions who refuse to bear the crushing weight of anarchy?
 
Obviously, our politicians are desperately seeking “middle ground” on this in similar fashion to the Israelis with respect to the Arabs, but THIS IS FOLLY in both cases!   Their posturing and machinations aside, under present conditions, there is no “middle ground,” and there will be none until the murdering devils are killed off!
 
Speaking of murdering devils, have you noticed how similar the methods of the drug cartels are to the Islamic terrorists? If that’s not a clarion call to arms, we do not deserve to be free men.

Obama and Property Rights I

Obama does not respect property rights. Everything he says and does reflects this fundamental fact. If we want to understand people like Obama and whether we really want to reelect this kind of candidate, we must recognize and understand this glaring fact. The additional fact that we elected such a person also says something glaring and unpleasant about us and our flawed perceptions of presidential candidates. But that's another question which I shall leave for another post.

Of all the observations that we can make about Obama, and of all the critical areas in which we may judge him, this business of "property rights" may be the most important. We the people know, instinctively, how important our "property rights" are. The question is, does Obama? I say no. I have asked myself over and over the question, why not? The answer lies in the fact that Obama is a socialist, but then, why do socialists not respect property rights? It's a question that will not die and it mysteriously surrounds the Obama administration and colors and flavors virtually everything it says and does.

Obama does not seem to understand that the key to prosperity in our society is our free market system. In this system, prosperity is solidly linked to the protection of property rights. Obama seeks to break this vital link. He would replace that system with one in which the state runs things and owns everything. Everyone will work for the state.   To Obama, that constitutes "progress" because it removes the "unfairness" of our present system so filled with inequality. To us conservatives and constitutionalists, that constitutes the road to serfdom.   Inequality there may be in our society, but for the government to take over things (clearly Obama's goal) will be a disaster for everyone, since living conditions would be far worse that what we have now. Obama does not understand that it is not just the property of the rich which our system protects; on the contrary, the rich are not so much in need of protection as the poor.
