It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Keynesian Economics

President Barack Obama is using Keynesian Economics.
What are Keynesian Economics?
Many Politicians argue to increasing taxes in order to promote government spending so that they can give it to the lower class so they can reinvest it in Private Corporations. This is using Keynesian Economics.

Why Keynesian Economics will not work!
1. The rich (Business owners & other employers) already pay the majority of the taxes.
2. Where is the government getting the funds for the stimulus plan? TAXES, thus they are taking money from the economy to inject right back into it! REMEMBER, GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE THEIR CUT OF THE TAXES ASWELL!
3. What is the point of the stimulus plan? To invest the money back into the business owner from the consumer.

THIS IS SOCIALISM!

DHS adds "Right-Wing Extremists" to the DHS Watch List.

Thanks to Obama's Secretary of Homeland Security (Janet Napolitano), Freedom of Speech took another hit this week, the day before the tax day tea parties.
Personally am very angered, just for having a political opinion they add you to a watch list as a suspected terrorist. Wake up America! This is another step towards a fascist state.

If you:
Oppose restriction on firearms
Oppose lax immigration
Oppose continuation of free trade agreements
Oppose same-sex marriage
Have paranoia of foreign regimes
Fear Communist regimes
Oppose one world government
Bemoan the decline of U.S. stature in the world
Resent the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and India
Or are a War Veteran.

You may be labeled as a "Right-Wing Extremist", I am suprised the Left-Wings have not been added as suspected terrorists because they have created more anti-Bush protests than the rights would care to do about Obama, not to mention their's often led to violence.

Michael Savage, A talk-radio conservative show host is fighting this, He has filed a lawsuit against this.

America, you are being led to a slaughter and half of you don't notice this, If you let this happen you risk your Freedom of Speech.

Why this matters to Liberals: The last time when there was a Liberal president that failed with our nation (Carter), A great man came out of it. (Ronald Reagan) Do you want to be targeted next time? This Blog has a correct title. "Those you don't know history are deemed to repeat it"

Obama Thinks GM Bankruptcy Best Option

A quick, negotiated bankruptcy is the most likely way for General Motors(GM Quote) to restructure and become a competitive automaker, President Barack Obama believes, according to a published report.

The president also is prepared to let Chrysler go bankrupt and be sold off piece by piece if the automaker can't form an alliance with Italy's Fiat, Bloomberg reports, citing members of Congress who were briefed on the GM and Chrysler situation.

GM has been given 60 days to fix its debt-ridden balance sheet, cut billions in costs and take other steps to transform itself into a profitable entity.

Chrysler must make the same cuts as GM, and sign up Fiat as a partner, all in 30 days.

The "quick and surgical" bankruptcy for GM that the Obama administration said was an option appears to be inevitable, said the members of Congress and two other people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports. Obama personally signed off on asking GM CEO Rick Wagoner to step down, Bloomberg reports.

A White House official said Obama's position hasn't changed. "He remains committed to a significant restructuring without a bankruptcy if at all possible," the official said, according to Bloomberg.

Reuters also reports Obama's thinking on the crisis facing GM hasn't changed since Monday.

"Nothing has changed on this," a senior administration official said when asked about the Bloomberg report, according toReuters. "This report is not accurate."

"Our focus is on accelerating the speed of our operational restructuring and reducing liabilities and debt on the balance sheet," GM spokeswoman Renee Rashid-Merem said in an e-mail to Bloomberg. "GM will take whatever steps are necessary to successfully restructure our company."

Reuters, meanwhile, reports a possible bankruptcy plan being discussed for General Motors includes quickly forming a new company of the automaker's most profitable parts, while a group of other units would remain under bankruptcy protection for a longer period.

Repeating History...

How is history repeating itself? Glenn Beck discussed this in his popular Fox News show today.

The world was starving. Hunger and fear. When the world goes into darkness it's almost always based on several small events followed by one cataclysmic event. Hitler used the world economic crisis as a pivot-point. He said, "We're going to protect the common man" and people rallied around Hitler.

I'm not saying Obama is like Hitler. This isn't a "Democrats are bad" diatribe. I have actually felt disenfranchised from both parties. I left the Republican Party during the first George W. Bush term and joined the Libertarian Party. I rejoined the Republican Party during the 2008 election to support Mike Huckabee... and later, John McCain [although I felt that John McCain was not much different from Barack Obama]. I voted for McCain, although I admit I wavered during the election and wasn't too disappointed at the final result.

What has been happening, however, is far worse than I ever imagined. I believe we are heading down a path that we will not easily return from. We are not simply suffering from a bumbling President who says silly things or has strong [albeit misdirected] convictions. We are facing extreme changes in our way of life -- in the very basis of our government -- in the foundation of our Constitutional Republic.

George Bush (the first) used the Iraqi attack on Kuwait as a motive to invade Iraq. Bill Clinton used the bombings of embassies [in East Africa] as an excuse to bomb Afghanistan in August 1998. Osama Bin Laden used the bombings in Afghanistan to justify the World Trade Center attack on 9/11/01. George W. Bush used the 9/11 attack as an excuse to invade Afghanistan -- and later, to invade Iraq again.

But would our current administration use a crisis to make bold moves? They said this was going to be an administration of change. They were going to do away with "old politics."

Rahm Emanuel (President Obama's COS) said in November 2008:

"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste, and what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

So yes... they would use a crisis as a means to an end. Especially if the "end" was a Socialist agenda that gets them things they have pushed for for decades -- national health care, easing trade sanctions, easing immigration, building welfare programs, etc.

What worries me is that this "crisis" has been totally manufactured. Was the bank failure/bailout/AGI scandal manufactured? The auto industry bailout [and subsequent firing of the CEO of GM] manufactured? I don't know, but I think it is definitely something we need to keep an eye on. Remember this quote?

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." -- Joe Biden

Is anybody else feeling paranoid? I do. For the first time in my life, I am truly scared for the future of my country.

I know I am starting to fall into that, "Oh, he's crazy" category. I suffer from a serious disability... I think for myself. I have strong opinions... and appreciate other opinions [even if they are very different from mine]. I am a Christian, a Creationist, I oppose abortion, I oppose the death penalty, I think we should bring all of our soldiers home [so we can guard our own borders], I think we should blow the "pirates" [aka terrorists] that attacked an American ship out of the flippin' water, I think we should stop bailing out businesses that failed, I think we need to stop apologizing [and taking the blame] for the world's problems, and I think we need to get back to what our Constitution stands for and back away from our current move toward Transnationalism.
