Although our Democratic Party claims to speak for the poor and dispossessed, they have increasingly become the party of an upper-middle-class professional elite, top-heavy with journalists, academics and lawyers (one reason for the hypocritical absence of tort reform in the healthcare bills). Weirdly, given their worship of highly individualistic, secularized self-actualization, such professionals are as a whole amazingly credulous these days about big-government solutions to every social problem. They see no danger in expanding government authority and intrusive, wasteful bureaucracy. This is, a stunning turn away from the anti-authority and anti-establishment principles of authentic 1960s leftism.

At some point of embittering clarity, Americans will open their eyes to the glaring significance of the Obama era and see the Power Grab Years for what they are. Whether this realization comes in time to stave off the eradication of the United States as we thought we knew it, or whether it comes too late, I predict it will surely come.

If it comes in time, the realization that the nation dodged history’s bullet will produce massive waves of relief. If it comes too late, the understanding of our fallen state will live on as the lost lore, not of a subject people exactly, but of a self-subjected people. That’s because in this strange historical instance, the American people, beginning with but not limited to those of us who voted Barack Obama into the White House, seem to have agreed to shoulder the heavy, costly yoke of exponentially increasing government control of our lives.

Make that exponentially increasing executive branch control of our lives — even more alarming given the cult of President Obama’s personality already evident. With a rubberstamp Democratic Congress, it is the Obama White House that calls the shots, and it doesn’t let dissenters forget it. As much as anything else this week, what cast me into this particular abyss of speculation was the stunning news that after Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., declared the Obama administration’s stimulus spending plan ineffective and urged a halt to further stimulus spending, the White House dispatched four Cabinet secretaries — Transportation’s Ray LaHood, Agriculture’s Tom Vilsack, Housing and Urban Development’s Shaun Donovan, Interior’s Ken Salazar — to write letters to Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer enumerating every dime of federal monies that would no longer flow to her state if Sen. Kyl had his way.

As LaHood snarkily put it to Gov. Brewer, “If you prefer to forfeit the money we are making available to your state, as Senator Kyl suggests, please let me know.”

What did the White House expect the governor to do next? Make Sen. Kyl an offer he couldn’t refuse? Or, as Mark Steyn, detecting the whiff of extortion in the air, asked: “Why not just break his (Kyl’s) legs in the Senate parking lot?”

Muscular politicking on steroids is the Obama way, whether the administration is bullying Chrysler bond-holders, wresting control of the Census from the Commerce Department, or empowering, at last count, as many as 31 “czars” to oversee various aspects of federal policy, from Gitmo closure “czar” Daniel Fried to executive pay “czar” Kenneth Feinberg, many without Senate confirmation. In explaining the full White House press on government-controlled health care, top Obama strategist David Axelrod could have been describing the Obama White House m.o. in general: “Ultimately, this is not about a process, it’s about results.” Which is just another way of saying the ends justify the means.

But what are those ends? My guess is that socializing the engines of wealth and creation in this county is itself a means to an end — the consolidation of a new power structure derived from a government-dependent population and animated by the kind of identity politics exemplified by Sonya “wise Latina” Sotomayor, whose self-contradictory Senate testimony this week, by the way, perfectly tracks Axelrod’s playbook. In the meantime, however, as the administration expands its control over the private sector, as it formulates foreign policy in harmony with that of Castro’s Cuba, Chavez’s Venezuela, and Ortega’s Nicaragua, it’s no stretch to say that Barack Obama is reshaping the USA in a distinctly socialist mold, something closer to a dictatorial workers’ paradise than to cowboy-friendly Reagan Country.

But there exists a potent taboo against the S-word and other terminology essential for analysis. Jeb Bush’s aversion to the term is typical. “Is Obama a socialist?” Tucker Carlson recently asked him in Esquire magazine.

Bush said he didn’t know, and called the president a “collectivist.” Same difference? Perish the thought. “Socialism is pejorative in America,” Bush explained. “So people stop listening. People are tired of it. That word won’t stick. It’s a turnoff. It doesn’t help.”

“It’s a turnoff”? It had better not be a turnoff. Because if we don’t talk about it, we won’t think about it — until it’s too late.

West Palm Beach Conservative ExaminerSteven Rosenblum: 

This week Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid D-NV went to the floor of the United States Senate and made a mockery of himself by ignoring, distorting and rewriting history to suit his narrative that, opponents of the current healthcare “reform” bill are akin to those that fought abolishing slavery or opposed women’s suffrage.

Of course Senator Reid’s interpretation of history has little to do with reality. Reid ignores the fact that it was a Republican, Abraham Lincoln, that freed the slaves. He ignores the fact that it was Democrats that fought to maintain Jim Crow laws and against the Civil Rights Act. In fact the only current member of Congress that was once a member of the KKK, is Democrat Senator Robert Byrd.

So when Reid says, “You think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said, slow down, it’s too early. Let’s wait. Things aren’t bad enough…” He’s talking about his party.

They used to say that “history is written by the victors”, nowadays it seems that history is rewritten by the Progressives. Whether it’s former-President Carter trying to make people believe that he was a great president, or Barney Frank trying to convince people he had nothing to do with the demise of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the mortgage crisis, the theme is the same. These progressive politicians spout historical misinformation to support their positions and the liberal media, rather than fact checking and correcting, reports the falsehoods as fact.

One of my favorite examples came from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier this year. While crying crocodile tears and expressing as much emotion as her Botox paralyzed face will permit, Pelosi talked about how concerned she was “… about some of the language that is being used because I saw this myself in the late ’70s in San Francisco, this kind of rhetoric. … It created a climate in which violence took place. … I wish we would all curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements and understand that some of the ears that it is falling on are not as balanced as the person making the statements may assume. … You have to take responsibility for any incitement that may cause.” Now first of all the language the Speaker was referring to was simply people peacefully expressing their opposition to excessive taxes and spending from Washington, DC. Beyond that Nancy ignores the fact that she and her fellow Democrats were calling people that attended Tea Parties and town halls “un-American” for exercising their 1st Amendment rights and that the only actual violence that has occurred was by those on the left. SEIU thugs beating a black man in Missouri for selling “Don’t Tread On Me” patches, a pro-healthcare protestor biting the finger off an anti-Obamacare protestor and numerous incidences of those on the left spitting on their rivals on the right. In addition the violence in the late ‘70s she was referring to was the murders of Democrats George Moscone and Harvey Milk by the deranged Dan White, another Democrat!

Our own president, an Ivy League graduate, in talking about why he’s uncomfortable using the word “victory” with regard to Afghanistan, “because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur,” distorted history. For those that may be victims of the progressive education system, the Instrument of Surrender in WWII between the Allies and the Japanese was signed onboard the battleship U.S.S. Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay, by several Japanese government and military officials, not Emperor Hirohito.

History does not smile on the progressive movement or its follower’s attempts to “fundamentally change America”, which may explain why they have such distain for it. It also explains why a progressive version of history and civics is being taught to American children in public schools and in our colleges and universities. The next generation won’t be able to tell you why December 7th, 1941 was a pivotal day in our history, much less why September 11th, 2001 was. The teachers and the textbooks they employ teach our children a history lesson that most of us wouldn’t even recognize. This is dangerous and shameful and it won’t end until we insist that facts be taught as history. Until then they’ll continue to ignore, distort and rewrite history to suit their needs.

The number of federal employees making over $100,000 per year has exploded in the first 18 months of the recession, USA Today reports, sending the total percentage from 14 percent to 19 percent.

The highest-paid federal workers are seeing the largest increases: In the same period, the number of civil servants making over $150,000 jumped from 1,868 to 10,100. When the recession began, only one person at the Department of Transportation was making over $170,000. Eighteen months later, 1,690 employees do.

The skyrocketing federal pay is systematic, reaching every level in every agency. Congress approved across-the-board raises of 3 percent in January 2008 and 3.9 percent in January 2009. President Obama has recommended 2 percent pay raises in January 2010, the smallest since 1975. Most federal employees get “steps” — pay increases based on length of service — that can run up to 1.5 percent per year.

Several laws have made it easier to raise federal workers’ salaries, particularly the National Security Pay Scale, which allows the Defense Department to award merit-based salary increases. And while many agencies prohibit employees from making more than the agency’s head, increases in bosses’ pay has allowed earnings to rise for everyone below.

WAKE UP AMERICA - IT MAYBE ALREADY TO LATE. . . 

United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1993 Vol. 33, page H-1303

Speaker-Rep. James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House:

“Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11.. Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth hopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a coroner’s report that will lead to our demise.

It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73^rd Congress m session June 5, 1933 - Joint Resolution To Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and Departments and is further evidence that the United States Federal Government exists today in name only.

The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being an established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. This act was instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Office of the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. Public Law 94-564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 reads in part: “The U.S. Secretary of Treasury receives no compensation for representing the United States?’

Gold and silver were such a powerful money during the founding of the united states of America, that the founding fathers declared that only gold or silver coins can be “money” in America. Since gold and silver coinage were heavy and inconvenient for a lot of transactions, they were stored in banks and a claim check was issued as a money substitute. People traded their coupons as money, or “currency.” Currency is not money, but a money substitute. Redeemable currency must promise to pay a dollar equivalent in gold or silver money. Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) make no such promises, and are not “money.” A Federal Reserve Note is a debt obligation of the federal United States government, not “money?’ The federal United States government and the U.S. Congress were not and have never been authorized by the Constitution for the united states of America to issue currency of any kind, but only lawful money, -gold and silver coin.

It is essential that we comprehend the distinction between real money and paper money substitute. One cannot get rich by accumulating money substitutes, one can only get deeper into debt. We the People no longer have any “money.” Most Americans have not been paid any “money” for a very long time, perhaps not in their entire life. Now do you comprehend why you feel broke? Now, do you understand why you are “bankrupt,” along with the rest of the country?

Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) are unsigned checks written on a closed account. FRNs are an inflatable paper system designed to create debt through inflation (devaluation of currency). when ever there is an increase of the supply of a money substitute in the economy without a corresponding increase in the gold and silver backing, inflation occurs.

Inflation is an invisible form of taxation that irresponsible governments inflict on their citizens. The Federal Reserve Bank who controls the supply and movement of FRNs has everybody fooled. They have access to an unlimited supply of FRNs, paying only for the printing costs of what they need. FRNs are nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury securities (T-Bills) - a promise to pay the debt to the Federal Reserve Bank.

There is a fundamental difference between “paying” and “discharging” a debt. To pay a debt, you must pay with value or substance (i.e. gold, silver, barter or a commodity). With FRNs, you can only discharge a debt. You cannot pay a debt with a debt currency system. You cannot service a debt with a currency that has no backing in value or substance. No contract in Common law is valid unless it involves an exchange of “good & valuable consideration.” Unpayable debt transfers power and control to the sovereign power structure that has no interest in money, law, equity or justice because they have so much wealth already.

Their lust is for power and control. Since the inception of central banking, they have controlled the fates of nations.

The Federal Reserve System is based on the Canon law and the principles of sovereignty protected in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In fact, the international bankers used a “Canon Law Trust” as their model, adding stock and naming it a “Joint Stock Trust.” The U.S. Congress had passed a law making it illegal for any legal “person” to duplicate a “Joint Stock Trust” in 1873. The Federal Reserve Act was legislated post-facto (to 1870), although post-facto laws are strictly forbidden by the Constitution. [1:9:3]

The Federal Reserve System is a sovereign power structure separate and distinct from the federal United States government. The Federal Reserve is a maritime lender, and/or maritime insurance underwriter to the federal United States operating exclusively under Admiralty/Maritime law. The lender or underwriter bears the risks, and the Maritime law compelling specific performance in paying the interest, or premiums are the same.

Assets of the debtor can also be hypothecated (to pledge something as a security without taking possession of it.) as security by the lender or underwriter. The Federal Reserve Act stipulated that the interest on the debt was to be paid in gold. There was no stipulation in the Federal Reserve Act for ever paying the principle.

Prior to 1913, most Americans owned clear, allodial title to property, free and clear of any liens or mortgages until the Federal Reserve Act (1913)

“Hypothecated” all property within the federal United States to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, -in which the Trustees (stockholders) held legal title. The U.S. citizen (tenant, franchisee) was registered as a “beneficiary” of the trust via his/her birth certificate. In 1933, the federal United States hypothecated all of the present and future properties, assets and labor of their “subjects,” the 14^th Amendment U.S. citizen, to the Federal Reserve System.

In return, the Federal Reserve System agreed to extend the federal United States corporation all the credit “money substitute” it needed. Like any other debtor, the federal United States government had to assign collateral and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. Since the federal United States didn’t have any assets, they assigned the private property of their “economic slaves”, the U.S. citizens as collateral against the unpayable federal debt. They also pledged the unincorporated federal territories, national parks forests, birth certificates, and nonprofit organizations, as collateral against the federal debt. All has already been transferred as payment to the international bankers.

 Unwittingly, America has returned to its pre-American Revolution, feudal roots whereby all land is held by a sovereign and the common people had no rights to hold allodial title to property. Once again, We the People are the tenants and sharecroppers renting our own property from a Sovereign in the guise of the Federal Reserve Bank. We the people have exchanged one master for another.

This has been going on for over eighty years without the “informed knowledge” of the American people, without a voice protesting loud enough. Now it’s easy to grasp why America is fundamentally bankrupt.

Why don’t more people own their properties outright?

Why are 90% of Americans mortgaged to the hilt and have little or no assets after all debts and liabilities have been paid? Why does it feel like you are working harder and harder and getting less and less?

We are reaping what has been sown, and the results of our harvest is a painful bankruptcy, and a foreclosure on American property, precious liberties, and a way of life. Few of our elected representatives in Washington, D.C. have dared to tell the truth. The federal United States is bankrupt. Our children will inherit this unpayable debt, and the tyranny to enforce paying it.

America has become completely bankrupt in world leadership, financial credit and its reputation for courage, vision and human rights. This is an undeclared economic war, bankruptcy, and economic slavery of the most corrupt order!

Wake up America! Take back your Country.”

9. December 2009 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.

By Miguel A. Guanipa

There are very good reasons why the United States of America is still worthy of being referred to as the greatest country is the world. This Nation’s very existence is a tribute to the unflagging spirit of innovation, courage and self-determination. But most importantly, America provides an exemplary model for what the concept of freedom is supposed to look like in real time, which other countries seek to emulate. That is not the myopic and pretentious declaration of a naive urbanite — it is a demonstrable truth. Try living overseas for a little while and you will see what I mean.

This spirit of freedom which built our country is presently in jeopardy. It is being stealthily undermined by the peculiar form of government which the Obama administration is determined to institutionalize; a government with a lust for control that is more expansive in scope than many seem to realize; and one which tries to arrogate - contrary to the principles of the Founding Fathers- far more power than it was originally intended to wield.

Amongst  the primary objectives the Obama administration has set out to accomplish are: a complete restructuring of our economy in accordance with the President’s socialist construct; the establishment of a federally run Health Care System; the reshaping of our military prowess into an obsolete commodity; a gradual consolidation under the Executive Branch of authority commonly delegated to the Judicial and the Legislative Branches; and finally, the legal prohibition of aired dissent from any assembly or media outlet which happens to disagree with the president or seeks to divulge the potentially deleterious effects of his policies.

A key element of this strategy is to create a narrative which questions the plausibility of a majority elected government in a free society like ours, entertaining and eventually actualizing such illiberal aspirations, and portrays the Obama administration as one that is not engaged in clandestine operations as has been unfairly alleged; and that any evidences to the contrary are merely the unintended consequences of nobler initiatives which have been skewed by the media, or most likely part of a smear conspiracy from his right wing detractors.

But since the Obama administration has indeed shown that it does entertain such aspirations, and that it plans to make good on them, let us then briefly examine every one of these rather ambitious objectives in terms of their respective strategies, if for no other reason than to offer some kind of preparatory grounds for resistance.

1. The complete restructuring of our economy in accordance with Obama’s socialist construct.
What has hereto been recognized as one of the most robust, leading economies in the world, has been pillaged by this administration’s pork-laden spending initiatives, which boast of having yielded only imaginary booms in nonexistent districts. This novel approach to spurring economic growth has not only infected an already swollen National debt, it has internationally devalued our own currency, and inspired the wholesale federalization of major, privately run financial institutions.

Moreover, a growing reluctance of these new, federally owned entities in assisting private entrepreneurial ventures, compounded by a sustained increase in unemployment, has resulted in a prevailing mood of despondency and a loss of faith in our financial strength, forcing consumers back into the vicious cycle of reliance in a government that is more than willing to conditionally rescue them from their dire predicament, relieving them of any fiscal accountability and further eroding their personal liberties.

2. The establishment of a federally run Health Care System.

The current administration insists on highlighting this country’s presumed moral obligation to support the contentious alternative of a Public Option contained in the President’s Health Care bill, since it believes that — except for the unborn — optimum health is the inalienable right of every person. What they do not admit to is that this Option will be subsidized in large measure by taxing private businesses and other Insurance providers, who will then defray these rising costs by charging consumers with higher premiums and deductions. Of course the latter will have no recourse, but to “choose” this Public Option, rather than be penalized by a Government that is more than equal to the task of spawning notoriously inefficient bureaucracies, and whose idea of fairness is to tax the competition out of existence.

3. The reshaping of our military prowess into an obsolete commodity.

President Obama continues to posture himself against the informed judgment of seasoned military personnel on the ground. He gratuitously procrastinates when called upon to provide the reinforcements needed to bring a resolution to the two major conflicts we are presently engaged in; and his progressive impulses compel him to view the military culture as one that should epitomize the cardinal liberal virtues of “diversity” and “tolerance”. Yet in spite of the injurious effect of his constant dithering on the morale of our Armed Forces, Obama goes one step further toward rendering our military optional, by taking the unprecedented initiative of bowing down before foreign despots, armed with the profoundly naïve expectation that such gestures will eventually incur their favor and prevent future aggression. Sadly, these gestures have only helped to create an image of America as a weak, decadent, and self-effacing Nation en route to becoming the next fallen empire.

4. A gradual consolidation, under the Executive Branch, of authority commonly delegated to the Judicial and the Legislative Branches.

The Obama administration envisions a Congress and Supreme Court teeming with liberal activists, and significant strides toward this aim were made by ACORN during the presidential election. This dubious coalition - whose presumed reason for existence was simply to coach people from all walks of life to exercise their right to vote - is now officially recognized by most Democrats as a non-partisan, legitimate civic organization. Presently, they have fixed their gaze upon Congress, and are poised to resume their nefarious practices, under the congenial auspices of our Commander in Chief, whom they successfully helped to elect.

Once this cartel of community organizers - renowned for their remarkable proficiency at orchestrating fraudulent elections around the country - has met Obama’s quota of Congressional seats, and helped stack both chambers to the rim with statesmen who are more responsive to his ideological bent, he will face virtually no resistance to his radical Supreme Court appointees. This is especially good news for President Obama, who is also keenly aware of the fact that most members of the Supreme Court are well past their autumn years.

As newly minted members of Congress and the Court uniformly behave in accordance with their core liberal values, their decisions will almost invariably steer towards Obama’s monolithic blueprint, whilst they apprehend a false sense of autonomy, remaining captive to the illusion that they are unencumbered by any ideological bias, and oblivious to the fact that a greater weakening of their authority has gradually become the accepted norm.

5. The legal prohibition of aired dissent.

If anything has turned out to be most easy pickings for Obama, it is the Main Stream Media. As things presently stand, his administration boasts of unquestioned allegiance from this highly compromised pillar of society. And while their collective, near unanimous acquiescence persists, of selectively ignoring and suppressing information that citizens need to make better informed choices, it will become much easier for Obama to accomplish the above mentioned objectives, and that much harder for the opposition to forestall the subtle encroachments of authoritarianism, whose chief envoy came bearing the good tidings of “hope and change”.

But President Obama wants more than to just simply remain a favorite of the media. He intends to silence the few remaining bastions of free information that countenance any significant opposition to his ideology, if not by excluding them from key press conferences, then by effectively sending his minions to publicly demonize them. Additionally, he also plans to silence traditional religious institutions, by reviving policies which will force the later to get in lockstep with the prevailing liberal doctrine, even if it means violating their doctrinal mandates, concerning such matters as the preservation of the marriage institution, the fundamental dignity of every human being, and the morally corrosive influence of today’s alternative views on sexuality.

How then do we stop this well orchestrated assault on our freedoms?

Freedom means action, and it comes with great responsibility. Once we surrender our responsibility to preserve Freedom and are given over to complacency, our precious liberties naturally begin to erode.

So first we must sound the alarm and do our best to warn the uninformed, of the imminent peril our freedoms face. We must also resist by coming out in force to the voting booth. And finally, we must pray ardently. For if these objectives are allowed to see fruition, it will not matter who is chosen next time, for  new administrations seldom take pains to rescind or diminish their fresh claims to power, once their predecessors have cast a wide net of dominance over that which they have been asked to preside.

If we avoid this great responsibility, we should not be surprised when we awaken one day to find that not only us, but also our children have little choice but to endure the terrible consequences of our apathy.

For the first time in history, the Congress will not allow an increase in the social security cost of living adjustment.

In fact, The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation predicts there may not be any cost of living adjustment for the next three years.

It shoiuld be further noted, our President Obama recently approved a 2% salary increase for all federal employees effective January 1, 2010. Members of the executive, legislative and judicial branch are due for an automatic pay increase in January as well.

All this on the backs of seniors who will NOT incur any cost of living adjustment increases for several years.
