Well, dear readers, it's already starting. Yup, "President" Obama has started to implement his grand socialist, and dare I say, totalitarian policy while still on his campaign. That's right, he's already started it. He kicked several reporters, some of whom had been traveling with him since early 2007, off his plane. The reason? Their employers came out and "endorsed" John McCain. How revealing is that? Shutting down media because they don't agree with your political position is SO USSA. Erp, excuse me, USSR. As in Pravda. Isvestia. The reporters were denied their boarding passes as tried to reboard after a campaign stop, and left stranded to find their own ways back to the office. Isn't that nice. What a fair and noble thing to do. Talking about fair, their seats were given to reporters from more liberal outlets.
I don't get it. How can so many believe in hope and change, when it's Obama's hope to change us into a Marxist (read: communist) nation? What is it about socialism and Marxism that is so attractive? It doesn't work very well in England, Canada, the Netherlands, or any place else it has been foisted upon a populace. Hell, even Russia dumped it. Go ahead, make an appointment with a doctor over there in the UK. Tell them you have only six months to live. They'll give you the first available slot. Too bad it's over a year from now. And don't get me started on "The Big Book Of British Smiles"....
To put it another way, a well-dressed businessman was walking down the street late one afternoon, when he saw a homeless guy wearing a sign. It read "Need money. Can't wait for Obama to help." Being an independent, the man nods a brief greeting to the panhandler, and passes him up. Seeing a sign for a steakhouse a couple blocks down, he heads in for some dinner. He orders his meal, Filet Mignon, medium-rare, garlic mashed potatos, salad, a carafe of wine, and enjoys it very much. The waitress waits on him hand and foot, an he has an absolutely fantastic meal. As he finishes, the waitress approaches him with the check, he notices that she is wearing an Obama button on her blouse. A thought suddenly strikes him, probably right in the forehead. He gets out his wallet, inspects the ticket, and asks the waitress who she's voting for. "Why, President Obama, of course!"
"I see," says the businessman. "What is it about him that makes you want to vote for him?"
"I like his idea on 'spreading the wealth'. He represents hope, and change, and change, and hope."
"Ever hear of Karl Marx?"
"No, why? Is he running for something?"
"No, he isn't. Do you go to college?"
"Yes, I do, as a matter of fact."
"Good, so you've heard of experiments, then?"
"Yes, of course. We do them all the time in school."
"I see. Well, I'd like to do my own little experiment. Would you like to assist me?"
"Well, sure, I guess...what does it involve?"
"It's a political science experiment. You've done a really great job waiting on me, and as the ticket here is $100, that would make a standard tip about $15. Is my math correct?"
The waitress says, "That would be a normal tip, yes."
"Well, you've clearly gone above and beyond the call of duty, this was one fantastic meal. One of my favorites, ever. So how does $25 sound?"
The waitress smiled and said "Wow, that sounds great! Thank you sir! I have a textbook I need that this will just about cover, class starts tomorrow!"
The man reaches in and pulls out a $100 bill, hands it to her and says "Thanks for taking part in my experiment." The waitress looks confused.
"I'm taking your $25 tip and giving it to someone I think needs it more. There's this bum about two blocks down, see, and he's been standing there for at least an hour or two with a sign that reads 'Need money', so I thought I'd take your tip and give it to him. You obviously do pretty well here, so I'm going to 'spread the wealth', so to speak."
"But...but...hey, that's not fair! I waited on you hand and foot, and this is the thanks I get? Who the hell are you to take my money that I earned and give it to some homeless bum?" She stormed away in a self-righteous huff, her eyes shooting daggers at the well-dressed man who had just taken her book money away.
"It's all about hope and change!" the man called after her.
The man walks out, and heads back to the bum with the sign. He walks up, hands the guy the $25 that had been the waitress' tip, and says to the man "This is the tip money I was going to give the waitress down there at the steakhouse. I'm redistributing the wealth today, just like Obama is going to do. I suggest that you go down there, find her, and thank her for working so hard to get this much tip money for you. She'll be easy to spot, she has an Obama button on her blouse."
The bum grabs the money, shoves it deep into his grimy pocket, throws down his sign, and dashes across the street to the liquor store. Two minutes later, he emerges, with a bottle in each hand, and lifts one bottle in salute to his benefactor. Then he disappears down an alley.
"From those according to their ability, to those according to their needs..." the man said, as he walked home in the gathering dusk...
Welcome to Wealth Redistribution 101. This has been your first lesson. I hope you enjoy the lab work, the test is Tuesday, November 4th...

Berg v Obama- the "October Surprise"...
Phillip J Berg, Esq, a Philadelphia attorney, filed suit in Federal court on August 21, 2008 against Barack Hussein Obama. The lawsuit asked simply for Mr. Obama (or is it Soetero?) to produce documentation supporting his claims to be the rightful Democratic Candidate for President of the United States. The lawsuit gave 30 days for Mr. Obama (Soetero) to produce his birth certificate. The Obama camp has failed to produce it, and failed to even acknowledge the suit, which is considered an admission of guilt. Most people aren't even aware of this lawsuit. The requirements to be POTUS are simple, three in number, and clearly spelled out in the Constitution of the United States of America. They are:
Candidates must be 35 years of age or older.
Candidates must have lived in the United States for 14 years.
Candidates must be natural-born citizens of the United States.
The natural-born part is where Mr. Obama/Soetero fails the test. The following video explains the legal grounds for this suit. When it was brought against him, the only thing Mr. Obama/Soetero had to do to dismiss this was to produce his birth certificate. His campaign put a document up on the campaign website, but it is suspected to be a forgery for a number of reasons. Mr. Obama/Soetero was actually born in Mombasa, Kenya, and Mr. Berg has an audio recording of Mr. Obama/Soetero's paternal grandmother proclaiming how proud she was that her grandson was going to be President of the United States, and how she was there in the delivery room on that fateful day in August of 1961 when little Barack was born.
After his parents divorced a short time later, Barack Hussein Obama/Soetero's mother, Stanley, married an Indonesian man, also Muslim, who promptly left the US for Indonesia. The family followed. Little Barry Soetero, in his own words, "promptly started school". The country of Indonesia was at war at the time, and the only children in schools at the time were citizens of Indonesia, and only Muslim children at that. Which means that the only way for Little Barry to have attended school at the madrasa in Indonesia would have been if Mr. Soetero had either adopted Little Barry, or if he had "officially recognized" Little Barry. Both carry the same weight, in that the adopted or "officially recognized" child is now a citizen of Indonesia.
The birth certificate presented on Mr. Obama/Soetero's campaign site is a forgery, and so is the one at www.factcheck.org, where Mr. Obama/Soetero served on the board (owned by the Annenberg Group, a Chicago group). Conflict of interest, perhaps?
Here is a link for you for the video of Phillip Berg explaining his stance on his lawsuit. Keeping in mind, Mr. Berg is a lifelong Democrat, with a long career including a stint as Deputy Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and also as a DNC member...

So, he had a vested interest in concealing his identity. It states clearly above that Mr. Obama/Soetero is a lawyer, where did he get his education? He will not release any records relating to his colleges. He will not release any data on himself at all. He is a Constitutional Law professor, he knows good well he is a fraud, and I suspect that the reason Mr. Obama/Soetero will not release any of his scool records is because he was not a citizen, and used foreign student aid to finance his degrees.Patricia Albjerg Graham Barack Obama, civil rights attorney at Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland; lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School; member of the board of directors of the Joyce Foundation and the Woods Fund of Chicago; winner, Crain’s Chicago Business 40 Under 40 award, 1993; former president of the Harvard Law Review (1990–1991); former executive director of the Developing Communities Project (June 1985–May 1988)[25][37][38][39] Stanley O.

What if?
What if Obama really ISN'T an American citizen? What if his purported Hawaiian Birth Certificate is a fake? What if he magically comes up with a new fake BC while on vacation these next couple days? Who does the background check on our Presidential candidates, anyway?
I submit that Barack Hussein Obama is actually a Kenyan by birth, and in checking through that old worthless piece of paper called the Constitution, which has information in it pertaining to qualifications to be President, it appears that he is NOT QUALIFIED to run. He is a foreigner, was never naturalized, only an obviously fraudulent scanned image claiming to be his birth certificate has been submitted. It is done in a font that DID NOT EXIST when it was supposedly issued, as computers of the day were unable to print in that font.
If this is true, and I believe it to be so, then if Mr. Obama is elected, and assuming he is inaugurated and sworn in, then America has ceased to exist as a nation. The Rule of Law will have been relegated to the circular file, and any and all laws pertaining to our nation will be invalidated. The country will be lost, and it's history and traditions thrown on the trash heap of history, as Mr. Obama makes us into the Union of the Socialist States of America.
Mr. Obama has too many strikes against him for my tastes. Let's review, shall we?
Strike 1- Uncertain legal status of birth, failure to produce a State-certified Certificate of Live Birth (for more on this, see Strike 2, below).
Strike 2- Ignored lawsuits to ascertain whether he really was born in Hawaii by not producing a certified copy of live birth from the Hawaii Department of Public Records. Such a dismissal is considered by many to be an admission of guilt, and he may be going to Hawaii not to visit his ailing grandmother, but to forge a new document. Such a document should be viewed with suspicion, and all alacrity should be exercised in determining it's real origins. Forensic analysis needs to be done to ascertain whether it truly is an original, or a computer-generated fake like his present one. Ruling is still pending on this one, so stay tuned!
Strike 3- His political creation and indoctrination in the living room of Bill Ayres, a known and admitted domestic terrorist with Communist ideology.
Strike 4- By Barack's own admission, he is of a Communist/Socialist bent. When asked about his tax plan by "Joe the Plumber", he told Joe that "he didn't want to punish him for being successful, but wanted to give 'everyone behind him' the chance to be successful by spreading the wealth." His "wealth redistribution" is the prime directive of the Communist platform, and poses a direct threat to the principles this country was founded on.
Strike 5- His long association with his anti-white, anti-American pastor, Rev. Wright. How can someone spend 20 years listening to this "Reverend" and not hear his invective directed squarely at the United States? Actually, directed squarely at the Caucasian-American sector of the United States?
Strike 6- Blatant and overt disregard for campaign laws, specifically, accepting campaign donations from foreign entities. $63 million of that from Islamic nations. What are you telling us there, B.O.? Allegations of his being am Islamist "sleeper" have log been circulating on the internet, but a quick check of the Koran reveals that it is perfectly OK to lie to infidels, it's called
"taquiya", and is telling US what WE want to hear, which then becomes OUR truth. Kind of a twisted form of lying that is specifically allowed under Sharia law. How convenient!
Strike 7- His education in Islamic schools in Indonesia, where he was registered as a Muslim.
Strike 8- The media at large being made puppets of the Obama campaign. Ever notice that there are no stories of McCain, except in passing? Granted, McCain is not a serious Republican, having voted with Obama more times than against him, but still...is this man REALLY our only other choice? This is a fix, McCain was specifically chosen to be the GOP "fall guy". He does not espouse any conservative values, leaving most of America's conservatives without a voice, or even a candidate. His only saving grace is that he's a war hero. He's not exactly stiff competition, unless you were to put him on "Dancing With Former Hollywood Stars", where he would most definitely be "stiff competition". Sorry, John, couldn't resist!
So there is a definite case to be made against Barack Hussein Obama, these are but a few points. I guess we'll see on Coronation Day, Nov 4, as America crowns it's new "Lord and Savior, Barack Hussein Obama"...

What is the MATTER with you people???
So I watched the "debate" between President Obama and Senator McCain, or at least as much as I could stomach before retching and nearly losing my dinner and finally went to sleep. The next morning, I was listening to the radio and started to realize what a great man Obama really is. He transcends issues completely. I heard a "pollster" asking people on the street asking loaded questions about President Obama...
"Sir, who are you voting for?"
"Why, President Obama, of course."
"Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Sure"
"Why are you voting for Obama?"
"Well, I agree with his stance on everything"
"Why are you not voting for McCain?"
"Because I believe in President Obama, he'll give us hope and change, and change, and hope."
"I see. Do you agree with Obama's plan to stay in Iraq up to another 50 years to finish the job and win the war on terror?"
"Oh, yes, absolutely! We need to make sure we've eliminated the threat from the WMD's."
"Do you agree with his position on abortion?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, do you agree with his pro-life stance?"
"Absolutely! Life begins at conception"
"What about his tax-cut plan? Is it better than Senator McCain's plan of taxing the 'rich', people making $250K a year or more and redistributing the wealth to people who don't make $250K?"
"Well, duh! I think cutting taxes should be for everyone! We all need a break in these trying times, it'd get the economy moving again, if we didn't have to worry so much about taxes. I know taxes have cut deep into my budget. If they go up again, I won't be able to afford to take the bus any more!"
"What about President Obama's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate, think she'll do a good job?"
"Yeah, I'm glad President Obama elected her as VP. I mean, it's about time we had a tough woman in the White House, but at least he picked a woman!"
"What about McCain's choice of Joe Biden as VP?"
"I don't pay much attention to him, he's old and he's white. President Obama is the hope and change this country needs at a time like this!"
What the hell? These people are allowed to VOTE?
What is truly scary, and I mean frightening to the soul, is that all the interviewees I heard COULDN'T EVEN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISSUES AND AGREED WITH McCAIN'S POSITION ON EVERYTHING! And beyond that, they didn't even know WHO THEIR CANDIDATES ARE!!!!!! WAKE UP, PEOPLE! PALIN IS McCAIN's VP pick, NOT OBAMA's!
It just goes to show you how the people are being seduced by the silver-tongued, mellifluous dulcet tones of Obama's voice. He starts speaking, and people fall into a trance. I don't, but everyone else around me seems to.
The one question that nobody has the balls to ask is
"Are you voting for Obama because he's black?"
Which is labeled incorrectly as a racist question.
"Well, if you don't vote for him, you MUST be racist!" they say.
I will not vote for President Obama. I am not falling for this group hypnotism. There's fires in LA right now, and every time a bush catches fire, the celebrities run towards it, thinking President Obama is going to speak! Ive' never seen anything like this! It has happened before, though, several times, and with disastrous results. This kind of blind following of a charismatic "leader" happened at the end of the Weimar Republic, when a smooth character who had a gift for public speaking entered their political system, turning it upside down. He'd speak, and people would become transfixed, believing in his hope and change. Economic conditions there were about the same as what we face now, and their government was also as corrupt as ours. He took power, and the only thing that ended it was the rest of the world. His name? Adolf Hitler.
On a beautiful Caribbean island, a tropical paradise, a young, charismatic leader gave speech after speech, and the people belived, blindly. He was known for his "hope and change" and "power to the people" speeches. He took the reins of his tropical paradise, and it is paradise no longer. He was a fiery speaker, and everyone blindly loved him. His name? Fidel Castro.
This time, it's the Unites States. Will we wake up from this nightmare in time to save this nation? I fear that it is too late. President Obama has captivated the American sheeple with his grand plans of "trickle-up poverty", his plans to cap earnings at $250K. Oh, but he says "It's not that I want to punish you for all your hard work and achievement; isn't it more fair that, if you make more than the prescribed cap on earnings, in this case, $250K, that I should take it so 'we' can 'spread the wealth' to those who aren't able to make what you do? That's more fair!" No, that is naked communism.
That totally removes the incentive to work hard and achieve goals. Now that I know that my income CAN NEVER EXCEED $250K, I'll be sure to work hard to make as much money as I can for my family...as long as it stays below $250k. If I have a small business, and we get up to $249,900, I know that I will have to lay everyone off, and shut the business down. Never mind that I have spent 20 years of my life, my blood, sweat, and tears making it to this point, the government will take it away. Better to shut it all down and avoid losing it all. At least I could tell my kids "Sorry kids, but President Obama took daddy's business away." And if it comes to it, I will tell them why. I'll make them read the Communist Manifesto. I'll make them read the history of the Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany. I'll teach them some history. And I will leave this country if need be, and flee to the free markets and societies of Russia, or China. Or India. That's where all the jobs will be.

Never mind that I have spent 20 years of my life, my blood, sweat, and tears making it to this point, the government will take it away. Better to shut it all down and avoid losing it all. At least I could tell my kids "Sorry kids, but President Obama took daddy's business away." And if it comes to it, I will tell them why. I'll make them read the Communist Manifesto. I'll make them read the history of the Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany. I'll teach them some history. And I will leave this country if need be, and flee to the free markets and societies of Russia, or China. Or India. That's where all the jobs will be.

Welcome to the Machine! (Sounding the Alarm)
I need to make everyone aware of something that is happening right now in our history...
WE ARE ALMOST THERE.
We're almost history. Not because of the engineered catastrophe that is the Wall Street Bailout. Not because of the engineered voter fraud that is incorrectly labeled as "free and open elections", no this is something even graver in consequence, and it affects each and every one of us, posing a clear and present danger to our future and our society.
What I'm about to say is going to shock you, but it's all very true, and it is happening now.
We are becoming a fascist dictatorship.
"How the HELL can we be turning into a fascist dictatorship, Amir?"
Good question. It's because the conditions exist at this moment that are exactly the same as Germany in the 1930s, the end of the Weimar Republic, and the playbook in use is the SAME ONE that led to Hitler's rise to power! It is a plan that is insidious and evil, and it has been happening for quite a while. It is "Incrementalism" personified. What's the best way to boil a frog? Put him in a pot of cold water, and incrementally turn up the heat! If you try to pop him in a boiling pot, he'll hop out, burned, perhaps, but surviving.
Those of us who are completely absorbed in our day-to-day survival and turn on "American Idol", or "Dancing with the Former Hollywood Stars" or whatever dreck you use to distract you from the ugly truth that is out there in plain sight BETTER WAKE UP RIGHT NOW! It's almost too late. The pot is almost boiling!
The shift from a democracy to a fascist dictatorship is gradual and calculated. Every step on the path to fascism is mapped out in detail, every "crisis" is carefully planned. The blueprints are available, but are currently being held (and used) by our leaders.
"So, Amir, if you're so smart as to know about the 'blueprints' or 'the plans', how can I get a copy so I can see for myself?"
Glad you asked.
There are basically 8 steps in the shift from freedom and liberty to fascism. Let's go over them.
The very first step is to declare an "enemy". It can be external, or internal. We have both. The external threat is the 'War On Terror'. It gives the people the illusion that they are in danger, and in our case, the enemy is radical muslims buying 'yellowcake'. It is a made up reason, but hey, anything will do. On the internal side, we have "sleeper cells" of islamic fundamentalists hell-bent on attacking us.
Step 2- Secret Prisons. Secret prisons and torture are another hallmark of fascism and dictatorship. They are always outside the rule of law. Gitmo is the largest, and best-known. They systematically torture the prisoners there, which is why the denizens of that prison aren't on anyone's prison pen-pal list. Once systemic torture is going on there, and it is, the eminent dictatorship has the ability to start turning that torture on it's own populace. The tasing of the college kid was an example. "Don't tase me, bro!" They demonize and marginalize the victims at first- these are brown-skinned, muslim extremists that hate us. But as time goes on, they announce that people who don't stand with us, don't agree with us, are now "enemy combatants". We see this with animal-rights activists, political activists, you name it, they can classify you as an "enemy combatant".
Step 3- Establishment of a Paramilitary Force. Hmm. The Germans had the Sturm Abteilung, or SA- the "brownshirts". We have the TSA, or "Twits Standing Around". They are paramilitary in that they wear uniforms, and they have the power to detain and arrest people. They also work the Department of Homeland Defense. Hmm. "Homeland". Sounds an awful lot like "Fatherland" to me, what do you think? We also have another paramilitary outfit known as the Blackwater Group. They specialize in "armed security details", and are active in Iraq, where they were accused of killing a group of 17 Iraqis. But they'll never go on trial. In fact, they quashed that little news tidbit pretty effectively, and instead, put eight US Marines on trial for doing their job. Nice.
Step 4- Establish or create a surveillance apparatus. How many people have you heard about that are on the TSA's "No-Fly List"? Quite a few. The rumor is that everyone has a "file", and nobody is allowed to know what's in it. This creates fear and uncertainty. The excuse given is that it's part of the 'War On Terror', it is for our own 'safety'. Gotta 'protect' the American people! This, too is a smoke screen, and one that is used against us. Soon, people will be turning in their neighbors, kids will be ratting out their parents' political views.
Step 5- Arbitrary Detention and Release. People being made to miss their flights due to being on "The List". Happens with regularity now. In Germany, they had a tall, imposing Nazi at the train station who asked for your travel papers. Here, it's the goons from the TSA sizing you up. If you're on "The List", you are searched and detained, perhaps questioned. If you refuse, you get tasered and jailed. Sound familiar? If the muslims are the threat, how come they won't search the Arabic-looking people? They always seem to pick out the grandmas, the single mom with a small child in a stroller, the college student on break and going home to get this quarter's laundry done. Never the swarthy, Arab-looking guy who has a prayer rug, a copy of the Koran, and giving furtive glances to other Arab-looking men in the waiting area. I wonder why THAT is?
I also never see well-dressed businessmen getting searched and questioned. I guess they might be lawyers.
Step 6- Restrictions on the Press. You might find this one hard to swallow, given the government-media complex, but it's true. Why do you think there is such a media slant? Because they don't want the truth coming out. Anyone who dares report the truth is demonized as a traitor, accused of treason. Look at the "embedded reporters" that were seized in Iraq for trying to report on US atrocities. Also, the government expands almost exponentially the definition of treason and traitorous acts in times like this. Remember Dumbya's "You're either with us, or you're against us" line?
Step 7- In light of the above, all criticism is recast as treason. Anyone going against the program gets labeled a nutjob, a wacko, a traitor. Even pointing out the flagrant abuses and distortions of the Constitution is looked upon as a traitorous act. Remember that Dumbya, early on, delared that the Constitution "is just a worthless piece of paper". Uh-huh. Sounds like a clear case of "do what I say, and nobody gets hurt" to me.
Step 8- Subvert the Rule of Law. This one has been done to death. In times of imminent election, much is done to severely destabilize the economy, the political climate, and people's lives. The recent spike in gasoline prices. The engineered collapse of the world's eceonomy. The polarization of America's single-party system (masquerading as a two-party system). The rampant voter fraud. The corruption in government, not to mention Wall Street. People with no money, living in fear, are MUCH more pliable, remember that. The establishment of a closed society, the Haves vs. the Have-Nothings, is already well into the ninth inning here. This global meltdown of the economy is no accident. It was well-timed, brilliantly executed, and very thorough at destroying the middle class. And it's not even CLOSE to being over, in my opinion. Despots and dictators LOVE having elections. It "validates" them. They employ scare tactics, including having uniformed, sometimes armed, personnel at polling locations. Look at Hitler's elections. He had the Brownshirts outside every voting booth, menacing the people as they went in. The last step is declaration of martial law, which was threatened to the Congress just last week. I hear that the world's markets and banks may be closed down next week or so, for a 5-day "bank holiday", while the leaders of the G7 plan our new currency under the auspices of "fixing the mess". Perfect time for Dumbya to declare martial law, which he gave himself the power to do by Executive Order. Never heard of the Posse Comitatus Act? Here is some info...
HR5122 also known as the John Warner Defense Authorization Act was signed by the president on Oct 17, 2006 John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007. Section 1076 Text of Hr5122 is titled "Use of the Armed Forces in major public emergencies". Removing the legalese from the text, and combining multiple sentences, it provides that: The President may employ the armed forces to restore public order in any state of the United States the president determines hinders the execution of laws or deprives people of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law or opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. The actual text is on page 322-323 of the legislation. As of 2008, these changes were repealed, changing the text of the law back to the original 1878 wording, under Public Law 110-181 (H.R. 4986, Section 1068,) however in signing H.R. 4986 into law President Bush attached a signing statement which indicated that the Executive Branch did not feel bound by the changes enacted by the repeal.
Which essentially gives him the power to deploy US troops, on US soil, to put down uprisings or "civil unrest". Hmm...like declaring a national emergency due to financial terrorism, George? Gonna try to "slap us down"?
It's almost too late, people. I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS, REGARDLESS OF PARTY MEMBERSHIP. We need to be very vigilant about the abuses that are happening right now, every day, and the accumulation of power in Weaselton, DC, that has been the hallmark of Dumbya's presidency. For the Presidential part of this, it appears we have no choice, but in fact we DO. Write in a third-party candidate! DO NOT go into the voting booth unarmed...gain some knowledge of who your Congress-schmoo is, who your Senator is. OUR VERY LIVES DEPEND ON THIS ELECTION.
And no, I'm not being venal or sarcastic, here, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN US HISTORY!
And if things go bad before the election, RISE UP AND PROTECT YOUR NATION FROM THE INVADERS WITHIN!
I truly hope it doesn't go down that road, but if it does, BE PREPARED.
Have guns and ammo, and DO NOT surrender it to the handsome man in the spiffy uniform who says he is from the government, and he's here to help. He will tell you that giving up your gun is for your own protection, and for the safety of the nation as a whole. HE LIES.
Have a source of food, as the supermarkets will be closed, and even IF you find one open, they will devalue the dollar so much that it will take your entire 401k to buy a loaf of bread!
Have a source of power, like a generator, and the FUEL TO RUN IT. They may try to disrupt the power grid to keep people "in the dark", not only figuratively, but literally. Great way to demoralize a populace.
Have something of value, we may have to resort to the barter system for a while.
We are in GRAVE DANGER as a nation. These are trying times, isn't it TIME FOR YOU TO TRY?
Good luck to you all in these coming days, and God Bless Us All.
As Always, I Am...

Wall Street Weasels get their Welfare...
There was a simple solution the banking crisis:
Guarantee ALL normal banking deposits. That's what European countries are doing.
With bank deposit guarantees, individuals and real businesses would have access to their money and to normal credit.
But the White House took a different path...
A multi-trillion dollar "no strings attached" checkbook controlled by the White House through the Treasury Department to buy the toxic assets of Wall Street and other reckless investors.
Who will pay?
The US tax payers.
Who will benefit?
Wall Street CEOs, their deep pocket clients here and abroad and members of the Bush regime.
What will the US do in the future when it needs money to repair crumbling infrastructure, take care of public health, and deal with natural and man made catastrophes?
The answer will to all these problems will be simple and consistent: We have no money.
How did this insane legislation get passed?
Congressman Brad Sherman lays it out:
* Fraud (fake phone calls from paid stooges in support of the bill),
* Bribery (hundreds of pages of pork added to the bill by the Senate at the last minute), and
* The threat of government violence (the claim that without the bailout martial law was a certainty.)
All of this is morally, ethically, universally WRONG! Poor Mr. Sherman is probably marked for death now, for telling the truth.
The truth of the matter is, all of this could have been avoided, but for one thing- greed. The "Fractional Reserve Banking System" is a fraud, a big lie. It allows banks to create the illusion of having wealth, when in fact, they are debtors to the printing presses that make their fiat currency. They get deposits from you and me, then proclaim that they have money to loan. In a simple, lawyer-free world with morals, if you have the money to lend, you can lend it. However, it gets trickier when you start trading in speculative debt instruments, such as what we face now. CDSes, or "Credit Debt Swaps", are essentially legalized casino gambling engaged in by banks to make insane profits on the defaults of loans. Our National Debt is now measured at somewhere around $53 TRILLION dollars. OK, you say, I can't count that high, I don't have enough fingers and toes. No matter. The principle of leverage is at work here, making your $400 paycheck you deposit do the work of $4,000,000. But not for you, wage slave annoyance. The BANK is using your money to leverage it's loans.
The Fractional Reserve Banking concept allows banks to overstate it's holdings by a rate according to it's ratings. For instance, Bank 1 has an arrangement with the Fed to have access to capital 10 times it's net deposits. Since it has 10 million in physical deposits, it can therefore lend out 100 million. Bank 2 down the street deals less in the retail banking sector and instead concentrates more on commercial loans. It has 10 million in physical deposits, and it's arrangement with the Fed is for 36 times holdings. So it now has 360 million to lend. It simply accesses the funds through the Fed, and cuts it's loan checks. Usually, the bigger the bank, the higher the margin it has. So, the behemoth banks had multipliers as high as 100 times holdings, and lots of their loans were subprime. What they did to minimize risks was to develop CDSes as a way of "self-insuring". They'd get together with other banks, package up the loans they had out, and sell the packages to each other. That way if one defaulted on a mortgage, it was bundled up in a package held by one or more other banks. That's fine and dandy if you only have one or two loans go bad. But when a sizable chunk went bad, it was MUCH harder to cover. That's really basic, but it is where we are now. Banks won't loan to each other, there are massive collapses due to these WMD's of the banking world, and everyone pays. A friend of mine put it cleverly- "Everyone got pregnant and nobody wants the responsibility."

Where has our leadership gone?
My newest question is pointed squarely at Henry Waxman. While Henry was grilling Mr. Fuld in the starchamber, he asked some very pointed questions, and in the spirit of the lying weasel that he is, Fuld hemmed and hawed about his appointing a "compensation committee" to help him loot $480 million from the company. When pressed on the issue, Fuld stated that the figure "was more like $250 million that I took out of the company". Ah, that makes it OK, I guess.
WHERE WAS WAXMAN'S LEADERSHIP? He had the perfect opening right there to demand that Fuld return his ill-gotten gains to the people he screwed over! All these pinheads that CEO these failed institutions are getting multi-million-dollar golden parachutes when their toy banks fall over, yet nobody has even suggested that their gains be put towards the bailout, when it was their decisions that put us in this mess? Wax-man also had the power under the rules of the house and senate to have Mr. Fuld taken into custody right then and there, but he failed in his moral obligation to do so. That power comes from way back, when we used to have something like a template to be used in case of emergency- the US Constitution! But that is just a worthless piece of paper nowadays. We're expected to abide by it, yet they are not. Why have the rules changed under George "Dumbya" Bush? In Clinton's term, Duke Cunningham, a decorated Vietnam ace, got 9 years in prison for selling off an old Rolls-Royce and a moth-eaten yacht, getting about a million more than their true worth. So we have a decorated war hero rotting in prison for making a 1 million dollar profit and these weasels from Wall Street get away with billions and stick us with the bill? How dare they! How dare Congress and Senate abrogate their responsibility to us, the people!
And McCain did nothing. Where was HIS leadership? He could have stood up and demanded that Fuld's property be forfeit, or at least embarrassed Fuld into giving back at least a portion of it to help us out with the bailout. While he didn't have enough to pay for the whole thing, I'm relatively certain his $480 million, when combined with his $14 million house in Florida and his $8 million summer cottage in Sun Valley, Idaho, and the houseful of million-dollar artwork could have gone a long way in helping to ease OUR burden! These Wall Street tycoons are getting away with the single biggest theft in world history, and are doing so with the tacit consent of the very people we "elected"! These bastards don't deserve to go to jail, they deserve a good crucifixion! Then throw their rotting corpses UNDER the jail!
McCain has lost this election, and he knows that he is the GOP "Fall Guy" this time around. If the GOP were serious about winning the election, they would have chosen someone like Romney. Yet another reason that the elections are a scam. Diebold has leaked the results to the media already, they programmed Obama to win by a landslide. I think the numbers I saw were 58% for Obama...
Until we, the people, organize and revolt, there will be no change. All of our well-placed and well-deserved rage against the ruling elite will be registered, but not counted. It will be just that much more "pissing into the wind", and you know what that means- it all comes back on us. So it's time for the American people to rise up, grab OurPitchforksAndTorches, and take our country back!
As always, I am...

WHERE WAS WAXMAN'S LEADERSHIP? He had the perfect opening right there to demand that Fuld return his ill-gotten gains to the people he screwed over! All these pinheads that CEO these failed institutions are getting multi-million-dollar golden parachutes when their toy banks fall over, yet nobody has even suggested that their gains be put towards the bailout, when it was their decisions that put us in this mess? Wax-man also had the power under the rules of the house and senate to have Mr. Fuld taken into custody right then and there, but he failed in his moral obligation to do so. That power comes from way back, when we used to have something like a template to be used in case of emergency- the US Constitution! But that is just a worthless piece of paper nowadays. We're expected to abide by it, yet they are not. Why have the rules changed under George "Dumbya" Bush? In Clinton's term, Duke Cunningham, a decorated Vietnam ace, got 9 years in prison for selling off an old Rolls-Royce and a moth-eaten yacht, getting about a million more than their true worth.

Congress and Senate inFATuated with PORK...
Friends, I think I've reached my "tipping point". We have lost this once-great nation, and now face tyranny, despotic regimes, and financial terrorism. The bill that was passed today was basically the same bill that was presented earlier and rejected, but this time, they "sweetened the pot". Not with sugar, Equal, Pink Stuff, or Splenda, but with pork. Last I checked, pork wasn't real high on my list of things I put in my iced tea or on my cereal. And you can forget about baking cookies with it!
Instead, our elected "leaders" submitted to the siren song of panic, the gentle lullaby of the unzipping of Wall Street's fly, and bent over for them once again! They stuffed the already bad bill with pork, "earmarks", and totally ignored their constituents' wishes- hell, it was more like rage, let's be clear here- and gave the money junkies on Wall Street their fix. Screw Main Street!
No, SCREW YOU, WEASELTON!
I have devised a plan that I hope turns into an Internet frenzy, just like the fans of "Jericho" accomplished, extending a canceled show....
I plan on mailing pork products to my Senators who let us down and told us to stick it. They LEFT before the ink was dry on the check they gave to Paulson and his band of thieves, after upping the tab to you and I to almost a TRILLION DOLLARS. I don't care WHO you are, that's REAL MONEY! OUR money, to be more precise. Our voice was NOT heard by the government, they care not about you or me. They only care about their banker friends. And why not? Those who voted FOR this stinking, slimy piece of garbage that hands all the power of our monetary system to ONE MAN were rewarded with 40% MORE "contributions" from the financial sector than those who voted AGAINST the bill. In the Senate, the ratio changed a little bit, with the Yeas getting 140% MORE than those who listened to the people!
So, when I mail my little packages of pork (sausage, pig ears, casings, snouts, organ meat, head cheese, and any other nasty piece of offal I can find), I will include a note, but no dry ice. It will read something along the lines of "In appreciation of your love for PORK!" on a nice little gift card. I encourage you to tell everyone you know to do the same. Maybe they'll get some semblance of a clue when they eventually return and smell the fruits of their labors!
Rum producers in the Caribbean get more than people wiped out here on the Gulf Coast, and they bailed out on voting on issues such as extending tax cuts for average Americans, extending unemployment benefits for those losing their livelihoods because of the mess the Fat Cats made. Greed and bribery are the best thing since sliced bread! THAT is the grease that keeps the wheels of Government grinding!
What was Wall Street's reaction to this version of the bill being enacted? IT DROPPED. It ROSE when they voted it down the first time, but it DROPPED upon it's passage!
Do yourselves a favor and BOMBARD WEASELTON WITH PORK, AND PORK PRODUCTS! Let them understand our rage! And DON'T VOTE FOR A SINGLE INCUMBENT THIS YEAR!!! Instead of going into the voting booth and pulling the Red lever or the Blue lever, EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO THROW THESE BASTARDS OUT OF THEIR CUSHY JOBS IGNORING US! Sure, you might have to actually look up who your Government Rulers are, but that's half the fun! Send them a little "Care Package" to let them know what you think of them, then VOTE THEM THE HELL OUT! Let's all pick up OurPitchforksAndTorches and MAKE them hear us!
