Over at Hillaryis44.org I found an article about how a group of influential journalists and professors working for some of the biggest media groups (e.g. Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic to name a few) worked together to smear Obama’s critics as racists (even attacking ABC news for being too hard on Obama!).
Now, there are many people who still spout the same talking points that this group of journalists created. If you oppose Obama’s policies, it’s because you are a racist. It’s a great tactic to get people arguing about what is really a SIDELINE, and lose track of the fact that you are being turned into chattel. One example is how the government has made it harder than ever for people to renounce their U.S. citizenship, increasing the fee for doing so over 1000%! It used to be relatively easy to decide that you didn’t want to feed the empire anymore, but that is changing. In fact for many people they can be denied a passport if they owe money to any government agency. Allegedly 16.5 million people are trapped in the United States unable to leave the country even if they want to (while millions of Displaced Foreign Travelers are allowed to wander freely).
Now that all said, the problem isn’t Obama. He is just the puppet that plays the part of the fool so people will vote in an even worse group of robbers. But that doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t speak out against his polices, rather that people need to look beyond the pretty words of the next would be star puppet.

I thought that the Obama DOJ having the charges for voter intimidation against the New Black Panthers dropped, after the case was already won, bad enough. But apparently that isn’t the only case that the Obama department of Just-us got swept under the rug. Noted pedophile Roman Polanski was set free recently because the Obama Department of Just-Us refused the request from the Swiss government for transcripts of the testimony from the trial in which Polanski had been convicted.
Of course many people claim it’s the vast right wing conspiracy that is forcing Obama to do these things that he really doesn’t want to do, and if we just do everything that Obama wants, the world will be a better place. I don’t know who it will be a better place for, thugs who intimidate voters and criminals who molest children maybe, but people who actually want to have what used to be a normal life, I don’t think so. Of course maybe it’s because child molesters are really misunderstood.

It seems that major financial news sources are indicating that an economic tsunami of historic proportions is coming, as Obama touts his “Recovery Summer“.
Over at the London Telegraph, financial writer (who according to the Federal Reserve therefore should just shut up) Ambrose Evan-Pritchard, writes that it feels like 1932. Closer to home in the United States, CNBC reports that the Dow is repeating the so called, “Great Depression Pattern“.
However, I think the situation will be markedly WORSE than 1933. Let me explain why. In 1933 the United States (and most of the world) was largely self sufficient, that is the economies were more local, food was more local, as were goods, and so on. Also 1933, the United States had a GOLD based currency. This allowed for FDR to switch out the gold currency with a fiat currency where he declared that pieces of paper were the same as gold coins. This measure is no longer possible.
Even with FDR’s switch, the United States economy did not restart until the advent of World War II. But the ability of the government to cram wars down the throats of people and tell them it is needed has been declining. One of the ways to get around the resistance to wars, was to get everyone on the global warming bandwagon, however that effort is falling behind schedule as well.
Financial report Benjamin Fulford claims that there will be a massive financial overhaul of the entire world system in the not too distant future. Of course he is a little late to claim that, as Christopher Story (editor of International Currency Review) has been reporting on efforts to do something similar (though not the same) for quite a while over at World Reports. The problem that I have with these claims is whether or not the criminals who have been in power will allow for a peaceful change. Since the change has been continually delayed for various and sundry reasons, I think that my concern is only a faint echo of what other more informed people might be basing their actions (or in-actions) on.
For instance there is the continual threat to of an attack on Iran (see this for a report that July 8th is a probable attack date), and there is the continued refusal to solve the oil crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.
While people might think that I want Obama to fail, the opposite is true, I don’t want the world to descend into madness, but unfortunately many people appear want to keep riding the Obama train all the way to hell. Until we stop the madness of the politicians who can pass imaginary budgets with nary a peep from the masses of brainwashed fools who are marching like lemmings over the cliff (apologies to any real lemmings, as the comparison is unfair to them).

Apparently even though Congress has not declared war, all “military” people in the United States seem to be restricted in what they say online. So only approved internet posting by government sources is allowed. Specifically this article shows that the U.S. Army has claimed to right to control personal emails. According to Wired Magazine:
The U.S. Army has ordered soldiers to stop posting to blogs or sending personal e-mail messages, without first clearing the content with a superior officer, Wired News has learned. The directive, issued April 19, is the sharpest restriction on troops’ online activities since the start of the Iraq war. And it could mean the end of military blogs, observers say.
Now given this, it might be the McChrystal did what he was told, and that the Rolling Stones reporter had been sent from above as I am sure that media access has to be approved on a limited basis, or this is all an even worse joke than I thought it was. And I don’t mean that in a good way.
Basically I think all military units should treat reporters as SPIES, I don’t mean shoot them, but don’t ever let them near anything that you don’t want to have an in depth explanation of why you did something. However if your boss tells you have to let him have the same level of access that your senior staff has, and that you have no say in the matter, you have to suck it up.
This is why people in the military are political dunces when they are in the military, they cannot express an opinion, even in private emails, about politics, because private emails are subject to review by the entire chain of command. That’s just the Army way, if you want to write, I think you might be able to write a book, but a some beliefs by a traditionalist catholic Navy Officer, got him into trouble, so you have to have your mind in the right groove to serve in the military. In other words, you keep a low key political profile, support your chain of command, if you have problems you have to keep them to yourself, or go to the Chaplin. That’s the way that the military is.
McChrystal knew this, but if he is blowing off, it’s because there might be a lot more pressure than that.
Now, that said, as far a soldiering goes is it better for the Special Operations units to go in and do surgical strikes, and the rest of the military have to go in and police the area with much stricter rules of engagement and less support or the other way around? In other words, with limited resources what should be done? Should the soldiers hide in their bunkers or police the area? Or should we just leave these other countries?
I think we should leave the other countries. After all, don’t we have real problems here at home, problems that so concern Obama that he had to almost cut short his Memorial Day golf outing to think about the spill for a second, actually there is no evidence to suggest that the Oil Spill has become something Obama is truly concerned about. He seems to be preoccupied with something that might be even bigger, and so might be holding back on resources because of a some other problem.
Now the question is, is that problem a personal problem? Has he done something that force him out of office? If so what could it be?

Apparently Obama has a new loyalty policy. If you ever think bad about Obama it’s insubordination. Obama has fired Gen. McChrystal for not being drunk on the Obama messiah insanity, stating “I won’t tolerate division.” It’s not that McChrystal was challenging the president (he wasn’t) or following the orders from the Obama temple (he was) rather it’s that he wasn’t glowing enough when he talked about the anointed one.
Obama’s beginning to make Nixon look good.

Now, some may say it’s strange that I would like Gen. Stanley McChrystal, after all he works for the government and studies ways of killing people.
In fact, he regularly has killed people if the special forces do any killing of people, since he’s gone on a lot of missions.
It seems that world that Gen. McCrystal is in is similar to the structure outlined in the fictional series by John Twelve Hawks.
The question becomes who can you really trust. It does seem that McChrystal is a honest straight talking person. I guess that is what passes for evil in Washington D.C..
That’s why I like McChrystal, right or wrong, assuming that this reporter wrote as shocking an article as he could, he seems like a straight talker, sure he’s killed more men than I’ve probably shaken hands with, but he obviously tries to follow what the orders are when the chips are down. This might be fine for a soldier. In fact many officers (Washington, Eisenhower) who went into politics changed their views over time, but at least they had plans and strategic vision, Obama lacks the details and the strategy. McChrystal will have a plan faster than anyone. Give him the gulf oil spill, no one wants it because it’s too political.

Gen. McChrystal is a good special operations guy, I’ve decided that he is a good adviser, but he shouldn’t be president. Apparently he is accused (in the Rolling Stone article) of being involved in cover ups and the CFR. In other words, it doesn’t really matter what he says, because he is used to being in politics.
I don’t really know enough about him to fully endorse him, but he would do a great job in cleaning up the gulf oil spill.

I just read an article that had Obama being upset about the article in Rolling Stone magazine called the Runaway General, though I am not really sure why. If Obama is that petty, we are doomed.

I had read about this a while ago, but didn’t write about it, because I hadn’t had the time to verify the facts of the story, but WND.COM is running with it now, so I might as well tell people about it.
Basically there is a fellow named Tim Adams who was the senior elections clerk in Honolulu for a time, and he is running around saying that Obama was definitely not born in Hawaii, and that it’s an open secret in the government there.
Now, why don’t the politicians of Hawaii care? Because they believe that the constitution doesn’t matter, much like most politicians in America. And to tell the truth, the judges don’t care about the constitution, and most people are willing to let the government do whatever, so why does it matter if Obama was born in America (or is even a citizen) or not, after all we are becoming a global society.

I just read that Congressman Chuck Rangel recently said that the Obama White House is doing “stuff that makes Cheney look good.” Now I didn’t hear him say so he might be misrepresented, but it does seem that Obama might be nearing the end of his shelf life. Anyways he doesn’t really want to have to be responsible for anything, so maybe Obama just doesn’t care. Not that is different from most Americans.

I really hate to say it, but maybe Barack Obama should call Sarah Palin. I bet she has studied oil disaster issues and has experience with advocacy groups, in other words she knows who is blowing smoke and who isn’t in the oil industry which is why I think the Oil companies wanted her out of Alaska.
I just saw a news article suggesting the same thing and I am sure that other people had the same idea. Here’s the thing from what I read the Obama administration knew from the beginning that this might be a worse case scenario, and yet instead Obama did not take charge.
Forget about the whole citizenship issue, forget about the situation with North Korea, Israel and all the other things. Barack Obama had fun while letting this whole thing go on, because he is a puppet. He knows he isn’t supposed to make any decisions, so he makes none. He just does what he is told, goes on stage, reads the script, and then goes back to his party life.
And why shouldn’t he? After all the vast majority of Americans selected him or his good friend, John McCain to be president if you believe election results. In other words, America wants someone like Barack to be the failure that he is, after all it makes people feel better if they think they are smarter than the president. This isn’t new with Barack Obama, the press regularly ridiculed George Bush, and it MADE HIM A BETTER PRESIDENT than if they just blindly supported him as they do Barack Obama. In no way does that mean I think George Bush was a good president, but at least he was held in check to a degree, and not given a completely blank check like Barack has gotten.
The problem isn’t Barack Obama, it’s all of America, he’s the symptom.
It’s a race to the bottom in America, and Obama is leading the leemings off the cliff. It’s not that so many people are engaged in what seems to be totally insance behavior, rather that they want to drag the rest of the world into madness.

Obama’s father’s half-sister (who ALLEGEDLY sent him money during his campaign for president and was getting public assistance) who had been ORDERED to be deported in 2004, has won the right to stay in the United States indefinitely according to MSNBC (link).
Apparently even though she arrived at the hearing in a wheelchair she will get a green card so she can work (in my opinion the system that the Obama’s are so good at working).
Another illegal Alien (now legal) who is going to do the jobs Americans won’t do.

First, I appreciate the services that Google offers, but I have to say that the trend towards Google’s censoring of the internet is disturbing.
I admit that I was saddened when I found out that unless you EXPLICTLY target my web site, Google will return zero results. It seems that it could be worse. Apparently Google has decided (much like Obama has said to do) that certain “information” is harmful for people to have, namely that Obama’s Social Security Number was issued to someone who applied for it in Connecticut.
I’ve long believed that the problem with Google is that it is a part of the intelligence community, which was it’s real problem with China, not that fake argument about censorship, because Google has been controlling the information that it returns for a while now, it’s just becoming more blatant.
The real reason why Obama wants Kagan on the Supreme Court is so that Obama (or his succesor) can control the internet. Under Kagan the office of the Solicitor General has stated that she believes the government should be able to ban books that it does not like. I find it interesting that so many so called “liberal” or progressives stay silent when a Democratic president wants to appoint fascists to the Supreme court.
Finally I wasn’t going to mention it, but also no one on the so called “left” is crying about how, if Kagan is appointed to the Supreme Court, 2% of the population will make up 33% of the Supreme Court, now that’s commitment to diversity (for Pat Buchanan’s article about this click here).

I can only wonder why Barrack Obama is sending Nuclear physicists to look at the oil spill (London Telegraph).
It seems a little INSANE to think that sending Nuclear scientists (note, I used to work in Nuclear Power) to handle an geophysical event. You would be better sending experts in underwater volcanoes, but heck Barrack is the smartest person in the world, so it must be that I don’t understand the real cause of the oil spill.

It seems that another U.S. Army officer hasn’t gotten the memo that the constitution is just a piece of paper. Apparently Lt. Col Terry Lakin has decided to destroy his career of 18 years by asking questions. He will now be investigated by a Lt. Col or higher grade officer, and then sent to court martial (the Army has no choice really). I don’t see how the Obama birth argument will be able to be kept out of court with this.
I hope that Lt. Col Lakin fares better than Cmdr. Ward Dean did with his constitutional quest. The sad fact is that people in the military believe they are fighting for the principles in the constitution and then find out that, like Major General Smedley Butler, they were just, as Nobel Laurete Sir Henry Kissinger puts it, “Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.”

It appears that robotic lawyers are now legal. Having been to a “trial” in which the judge (who was the only person in the remote court room I could see) appeared on a closed circuit television, where after he let all sorts of felons (who had been eluding capture) be released on their own recognizance, told me that either I paid bail (which I couldn’t since the police had thrown my wallet away after taking my license) or I plead no contest to the criminal charge of failing to sign a citation, I am not surprised.
Which brings us to this item at Wired.com, in which Google deleted blogs that had broken links to files that, even if they were working, some of the sites had permission to use the files. Of course, Google does have a tendency to delete blogs that they don’t like, so pretending that Google protects free speech is like pretending Obama really is the Prince of Peace.
In other words, the computer robot swore under penalty of perjury that files that DIDN”T exist were infringing. Unfortunately judges love corporations more than they tolerate people, so don’t expect the corporate machine to get slapped. This is similar to the Apex Technology issue, where a judge decided to remove websites just because a company felt that posting information about it’s “indentured servitude” policies were infringing.
Of course, there is a solution being proposed by the “mainstream” media and their corporate masters, require an license to use the Internet!
You might laugh but such a solution was made public by Microsoft Chief Research and Strategy Officer, Craig Mundie last month at the Davos Economic Forum and enthusatically embreaced by Time Magazine, which is discussed in more detail by Paul Watson.
What’s funny is that when China censors people we cry how they are stifling human rights, yet when the U.S. government does it (and certain speech on the internet is already a criminal act in the United States). There are numerous laws out there to trip up the unwary political activist, and things being what they are, it’s best to tread carefully, because you can’t expect the U.S. government to protect the human rights of U.S. citizens.

I forget what position Michelle Obama is in where she is able to tell people the government is going to increase spending at the same time her husband is announcing that he is going to freeze spending.
Or maybe Barrack is just being political and saying that he will freeze spending, something that he campaigned against back in 2008.
More cynical people might think that the Obama team is flailing around saying whatever comes to mind to try and regain the hope and change mantel.

Some would say that the United States is bankrupt, and I agree that the government of the United States is morally and fiscally beyond bankrupt. That said, it seems that Obama wants to destroy any real hope of a recovery.
Let me explain. Obama doesn’t support the re-institution of the Glass-Seagall act provisions that prevented the same entity from creating credit and using that same credit that it created to invest. This was what created the dot-com boom, and it’s what put the banking system (which I am not happy about for other reasons) into the current state of affair.
Instead, Obama, under the guise of banking reform, will force banks (real ones, not the fake Goldman-Sachs banks) to make the loans that the government allows them to make, forcing industry to either look to China, Japan or Europe for large financial outlays. In exchange for these loans, companies will be encouraged to move their factories to those regions.
Obama is helping this move with GM announcing that it will start importing Chinese made cars last year, much of the funding done by the U.S. government bank that was explictly created for the purpose of moving business overseas as this article explains:
in practically every instance, U.S. taxpayers are tapped to subsidize loans and loan guarantees used to finance the export of auto manufacturing overseas. One of the chief conduits of this corrupt corporate welfare is the Export-Import Bank Export-import Bank (Ex-IM Bank)
The U.S. federal government agency that extends trade credits to U.S. companies to facilitate the financing of U.S. exports. (Eximbank), created in 1934 during the FDR administration for the express purpose of financing trade deals with Josef Stalin’s Soviet regime. At present, Eximbank provides over $15.5 billion in taxpayer-subsidized loans or loan guarantees annually.
So the only U.S. government entity that is called a “BANK” (the Federal reserve is not an agency of the United States government, though many people think otherwise) only exists to MOVE business overseas. This will accelerate under the current plans of the administration, in fact I think just the yapping about these plans are encouraging any reasonable business entity to find a non-United States international home.
The reality is that there is no longer any incentive for “large” banks to loan to small net worth individuals and businesses, and small banks are going to be forced out of the market because they are too small to be allowed to grow under the crazy Obama plan. In fact, the Obama National Socialism plan combines government with big banks to control every aspect of people’s lives.
It’s interesting that it seems that Obama’s communications regulatory expert, Cass Sunstien, has advocated the criminalization of speech against Anthropogenic Global Warming, even as more evidence is coming out about the incredible amount of manipulation of the data that is not being reported. But why would it be, when the people who put Obama in power controlled the media to ensure that he rose to power in the first place.
An interesting example is how Scott Brown is characterized as “far right“. The real Scott Brown, has not ever stood for a smaller government, was a key part of the team that designed RomneyCare, and
Scott Brown joined the Democrats and passed legislation requiring Massachusetts to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in a cap-and-trade pact among Northeastern states requiring power plants to reduce emissions or to buy credits from cleaner industries.
“Reducing carbon dioxide emission in Massachusetts has long been a priority of mine,” Brown said in a news release
Wow, he’s only far right in speeches, but otherwise, he and his fellow lawyer Barrack Obama seem to agree more than they disagree! If that is what passes for “far right” today, the United States is truly doomed. Let’s face facts, we are constantly given two bad choices by the media, which hypes up the minor differences between them, to make it look as if we are making some real choice, when the fact is that whichever one we vote for the end result is the same.
And this will only get worse. Recently the United States Supreme Court (e.g the visible puppet masters) said that corporations have even more rights again than humans and can now dump unlimited amounts of money into any election they want. In other words, the perfect marriage of corporations and government, at least if you own corporations and want serfs.

I sure hope so, in any case Obama went to Massachusetts and couldn’t even fill a room, while Scott Brown, a Republican (which means that he will vote against the healthcare bill) is filling rooms. More here.
