A report on October 6, 2010 told us that the White House blocked the worst reports of the BP oil spill. An October 7 follow-up spelled out Obama’s irresponsibly slow and uncaring reaction to the disaster.
These updates are horse-out-of-the-barn reporting, and laughable. They’re almost as amusing as when morphine-addled Hermann Göring testified under oath at Nuremberg that he knew nothing about the multitudinous Nazi death camps; he insisted their existence was withheld from him and from Der Führer. It was only when Chief (American) Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson produced hard evidence during cross-examination that the Reichmarschall’s memory was jolted: an original document signed by Göring to SS Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich to finalize the total “evacuation” of Jews imprisoned in those death camps.
“Oh,” Göring must’ve thought as he squirmed in the witness box, “that order.”
The fact remains that his unbridled arrogance pushed him to try to continue to sell the sting in which he played a major part (second-in-command), and expected everyone in that courtroom, indeed the listening world, to believe him—the way millions of Germans across the Fatherland had believed him and then lost it all.
Quoting from a psychological profile [of when Göring was committed to a sanitarium for his addiction]: “The 1925 psychiatrist’s reports claim Göring to be weak of character, a hysteric and unstable personality, sentimental yet callous; violent when afraid, and a person whose bravado hid a basic lack of moral courage: ‘…he lacked the finer kind of courage in the conduct of his life which was needed when serious difficulties overcame him.’”
Is it only me or could the preceding paragraph aptly describe the personalities of most members of Congress (e.g., Harry Reid, who made the pathetic announcement on October 22 that he has saved the world), and, of course, Barack “Republicans…gotta sit in back” Obama?
Qui tacit consentire videntur? Or: “Whoever remains silent shall be assumed to agree”?
Göring and Obama came from “no money.” However…
Göring amassed a fortune collecting bribes for looking the other way as Jewish properties were stolen; from kickbacks from industrialists; by receiving (not earning) large salaries for holding other government positions; from looting museums of art treasures; from buying at rock-bottom prices valuable properties and belongings confiscated from Jews.
Today, Barney Frank—whose girth equals that of Göring’s—has greedily scooped up the baton and is running off with thousands of dollars from bailed out banks.
Obama (whose recent speeches have taken on a tainted spin of “less hope and more fear”) also is a rich man, and will become richer raking in million-dollar fees for personal appearances after he vacates the White House. (It’s not flattery but a melancholy fact.)
Obama wrote a book, and hung some curtains when he was a community organizer. Really, he did. When his term [finally] ends and he returns home to… wherever, he, like Jimmy Carter, will no doubt write a stack of books (and maybe hang more curtains). This will generate greater revenues for him and his family, including, I should think, his Aunt Zeituni Onyango who insists it’s the U.S.A.’s moral obligation to make her an American citizen.
Obama, a “nobody,” pole-danced to worldwide celebrity in the time it takes to bake and deliver a pizza. This was achieved on the strength of well-prepared apparatuses of propaganda: bedeviled liberal media, Obama’s magnetic baritone voice and faux charm, and a ritualistic ability to implant groundless ideas and outlandish goals into the psyche of a groundless and outlandish cross-section of our citizenry.
The sleuth and uncouth paid off: Obama is dictating from this country’s chief executive’s chair. But since taking office—and I can safely say from day one—, Obama’s true personality has revealed itself: like Göring, Obama is unstable, weak, and perilously callous. And his stentorian oratories have taken on the texture of processed cheese.
Speaking of cheese…
My eyeballs almost exploded when I read a disturbing October 11, 2010 report that testifies to what is fast becoming a Gestapo-type federal government: a Missouri dairy farm family with a history of zero health violations was ordered by the FDA to destroy 50,000 lbs. of cheese. To me, this action is a vehicle with which this duplicitous administration means to destroy the American entrepreneurial family and their American-made family business.
And speaking of duplicity…
At a Democrat rally in Maryland (on the subject of voting on November 2), Obama begged of the crowd, “Don’t make me look bad now. I’m betting on you.”
From where I sit, Obama’s “cool” has crumbled like that cake left out in the rain. He appears to suffer from major doses of insecurity and depression: relentlessly egging his audiences to embrace him, to adore him, and to shout “Encore!”
Al Jolson also was a manic depressive. When he wheedled from his fans what he needed he’d punch the air and bray, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” then dive into his repertoire. In comparison, Obama’s mocking melodies of transition were, and are, as tedious as having to listen to endless choruses of Swanee River.
The world isn’t deaf, dumb or blind to what’s going on in America, thanks to 24/7 Internet, television and radio communications. Quoting verbatim the preamble from an October 19 online article at Der Spiegel: “Two years from his historic election victory, US President Barack Obama is trying to recover his lost magic as defeat for the Democrats looms in the midterm elections. But he is no longer the man he used to be, and his window of opportunity has passed.”
Obama’s and Congress’s mounting losses are the result of bad attitudes and really bad decisions, such as ignoring our staunch ally, Israel (and unwisely expecting Americans to do and say as he does and says in the matter). A report from Israel Today states 53% of Americans will likely choose to vote for a candidate who is pro-Israel. Good for us. Good for our good friend Israel, and a welcome defeat of Obama’s irrational Middle East agenda.
Lately, I’m finding it difficult to track down anyone who will admit he or she voted for Obama, at least in my neck of the woods. They’ve gone to ground or moved to the Congo. It’s reminiscent of Germany in the years following World War II: nobody we met was a retired Nazi; they claimed to be from neutral Switzerland or had been on the front lines at the siege of Stalingrad. Countless Germans who survived the bloody conflict and who were party members pulled a “St. Peter” when asked what they did during the war: “I know nothing. I didn’t know him (Hitler). I wasn’t there.”
I can’t blame them for denying any knowledge of, or any connection to, the socialism that ruined their country. Between 1939 and 1945, Nazi National Socialism cost the lives of tens of millions of humans, and thousands of animals. It was responsible for indescribable destruction of entire cities, towns, hamlets, villages, and lands… that we know of.
Loyalists and their offspring that lived on did so in disgrace, because they had believed and rallied behind the propagandistic lie that socialism would set the universe ablaze with the force of a million Aryan suns for a thousand years. Like all naïve, first-time gamblers, they learned in the harshest way that the ideology they bankrolled was—and is—a foul disease: it kills the soul, the spirit, and the spark of the freethinking human being, as well as freedom itself.
Germany’s greatest single loss after WWII was the world’s trust. That’s what’s happening now in America: we have no trust in that wilderness of horrors known as this administration. The world is witnessing Americans reacting to, and speaking out against, Barack Obama, his mules in Congress, and their collective drive to bury alive our Constitution and democratic system of government, and bulldoze us into a socialist snake pit.
Obama did get one thing right: he said in a recent interview that a GOP takeover of Congress would mean hand-to-hand combat for the next two years (as if the last 22 months have been a day at the beach). In these 22 months the American People have been pushed almost beyond our limit—almost. Now we’re pushing back with every fiber of our being: wounded, we’re twice as angry.
Politicians on the left, the right, and at center shouldn’t be surprised at our aggression, because no one knows better than politicians that war is the result of traitorous politics.
You know who you are, who openly, heartlessly, mindlessly and deliberately set your personal greed and your party’s agendas above safeguarding our liberties, our national security, our prosperity, and our health and welfare; who backed off from supporting our military (America’s first line of defense). I suggest that you—high and low, he and she, on both sides of the aisle—begin clearing the debris from your offices, because “We, the People” are preparing eviction notices to be served on you, the betrayers of our sacred trust.
These notices will be issued on November 2, 2010 via polling booths nationwide. Thereafter, we respectfully request that you leave the key, turn off the lights, and get lost.

Straitjacket and Tie Required
By Julian Krasta
Ayn Rand wrote in 1962:
“There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.”
“Enslave” and “control” are sisters in meaning: to yoke, to bind, to hold down, to shackle and chain up; to push back and overpower; to stifle, intimidate, harass, oppress, suppress, imprison, dominate, contain, monitor, command. And the land of the free—and the freedom by which the people are bound—is the intended target.
America is in danger of becoming a wilderness wasteland too frail to bear fruit, because scores of the men and women who were blindly voted into city, state and federal positions have unleashed the Seven Deadly Sins against the people to destabilize our liberties, drain our bank accounts, and further weaken our busted economy. Yet those same men and women have, first and foremost, ensured that their personal needs, wants, and retirements are comfortably covered.
The Bell, California, scandal is a crucial illustration of selfish selectivity. The Los Angeles Times broke the story of that city’s officials’ outrageously inflated annual salaries and pensions and benefits, especially that of City Manager Robert Rizzo. Once they were exposed and the digging began, facts of their grimy thievery spewed faster than the BP oil leak: the conscious overcharging of their constituents’ property taxes, unauthorized loans to more than a dozen Bell employees, including Rizzo (who, according to the report, created the loan program for him and his colleagues to profit), totaling approximately $1.5 millions. (A positive result of this exposé is residents of cities nationwide are rightly demanding full public disclosure of their elected officials’ earnings.)
The Bell outrage is supplementary proof that politicians from the lowest to the highest rank deem themselves and their hangers-on the sole and rightful beneficiaries of our hard work: “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine.”
Hence, we have communism: redistribution of wealth (taxpayer money) not to or for the people but channeled into dictators’ pockets to spend (e.g., the $500 millions to Pakistan), give away to comrade-tyrants (e.g., the $400 millions to Palestinians), $6 millions to fund the restoration of Islamic mosques in various countries, and last but not least, re-decorating the White House Oval Office—all with unparalleled and shocking impunity.
What is more, the White House slashed the food stamps fund to finance a $26 billions gift to teachers and government crony union workers. And like dead fish wrapped in newspaper came the follow-up message that the food stamps fund will once again go under the knife to pay for Michelle “America is just downright mean” Obama’s nutrition initiative. Add to this the fact that salaries of government workers are presently twice that of their private enterprise counterparts. It therefore should not be difficult to suspect communism as possibly the root thrust behind the sins of today’s politicians.
Fortunately, justice is prevailing in Bell, California. A breaking news report has just been issued that the Bell lawbreakers, all of whom have gained national, shameful notoriety, are now under police arrest.
Curb, control, and monitor:
Thirty years ago former Assemblyman Bob Cline (of California’s San Fernando Valley) stated, “Control the water and you control the economy.”
It is this type of open-handed conceit that could cause the collapse of farming and other agricultural industries in California—and when industries die so dies the livelihood and the American Dream for millions of people. Officials of that state’s Water Resources Control Board have concluded (based only on a staffer’s report) that more than two-thirds of Californian residents (approximately 23 millions of the total population of approximately 34 millions) who rely on the water flowing from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta will just have to “…conserve water more assiduously…”
If California—the asylum for the wicked, the wasteful, and the wanton—ever passes a bill to ration water, other states might fall in line (whether they need to or not). If this were to happen, Cline’s statement on controlling the economy would become reality. (However, if California this November legalizes the cultivation and sale of recreational marijuana (which would automatically disqualify it from federal funding, because it would be in violation of the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988), residents won’t be sweating water shortages; they’ll be too stoned to notice their taps have run dry.)
Encore California Senate Bill AB 2358. If passed, it would demand vendors of ammunition to hand over sales information: the types of ammo sold, the quantities, and to whom.
George Orwell, the literary prophet/seer, warned us of the establishment of a totalitarian state. As with water control and the proposed overseeing of private ownership of firearms, Orwell’s insight is coming true according to a TIME online report: government agents can now “…sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go.”
Why we can’t all get along:
Former Gov. George Wallace of Alabama declared, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.”
Segregation has been reanimated inside a party Petri dish by meretricious politicologists (I just made that up) who are openly and actively attempting to exert unmitigated control over the American People by segregating us from our Constitutional rights. They want to force us to bend over and accept as creed their minute-to-minute modifications of what they call the living Constitution. Or as he who (allegedly) authored “The Audacity of Hope” wrote: “[the Constitution] is not a static but rather a living document, and must be read in the context of an ever-changing world.”
Those “audacious” words, to my ear, chime with what Hitler’s propaganda minister Josef Goebbels said on September 15, 1930, after the National Socialist Party took 103 seats in the Reichstag: “I consider this Reichstag utterly outdated, and I am convinced that it will have to be dissolved, because it no longer reflects the will of the people.”
(Note that Goebbels, at the height of party fever, also claimed, “National Socialism is the new religion,” which rhymes unpoetically with the current jarringly mantra “Islam is the true religion.”)
“Racist!”…“Bigot!” and other vulgarities:
The words “racist” and “bigot” are oiled traps. Both are being hurled—more often than not without provocation or conscience, but with uninhibited abandon—at anyone who disagrees with actions attributed to or persons connected with the current administration; or at anyone who voices objections to, or differing opinions on, anything and everything.
Conscientious objectors who speak openly against the extremisms at every level of government across the U.S. are branded racist or bigot or both, or worse. If Speaker Pelosi has her way, objectors could be subject to federal inquiry if we persist in voicing our objections, i.e., Pelosi is calling for investigation of opponents of the building of a mosque near Ground Zero. Stifle, intimidate, harass, oppress, suppress… like the students who were accused of singing the National Anthem too loudly at the Lincoln Memorial.
But, and it’s a BIG but, it’s cool for Chris Dodd and Barney Frank (vulgarities themselves, who are always on the hunt for fresh game) to cook up the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which is intended to further intimidate, harass, oppress, dominate and contain lenders. This new line of attack calls for “a data collection system to monitor small-business loans for racial bias.” Quoting from the New York Post report:
“Bank examiners will use that data to enforce provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act -- the federal law that (after a Clinton-era rewrite) encouraged "flexible underwriting" and unsafe loans that fed the subprime bubble and bust. If a bank doesn't meet CRA standards, regulators make it impossible for the institution to expand or merge -- and in a competitive industry, that's a slow death sentence.”
First, Bill Clinton and his Congress passed a bill forcing lenders to open their vaults to unqualified, un-creditable borrowers. Second, a glut of those borrowers in the long-term could not afford to pay their mortgage. Third, the markets crashed worldwide and home values and sales plummeted (and continue to free-fall) as a result.
Rather than stay out of the way so that banks may seek out and lend to creditable small-business borrowers, the government is preparing to flap and hover like a vulture and prey on lenders they suspect aren’t playing by their transient rules.
If government micro-manages banks, as they endeavor to do with everything and everyone both public and private, they will stifle the economy to the point where there will be minus-zero growth and nonstop down-spiraling of what remains of our financial integrity. Yoke, bind, hold down, shackle.
Death to the West:
If money isn’t your concern (and it shouldn’t be according to Saul Alinsky and B. Hussein “At some point you’ve made enough money” Obama), then target your concern at the apostates of radical Islam and their intention to forcibly conquer the world and make everyone stoop to Allah. Take a hard listen to mullahs and clerics who are casting bloodthirsty looks at America and saying, “You’re next.”
Still not convinced? Take a hard look at this video of how the “religion of peace”—to which B.H. Obama bows and scrapes, defends and raptures over—is steamrolling unchecked through the streets of Paris, France.
If you viewed the video and are now rethinking how to better use your mileage points, look at and listen to what the Ground Zero mosque Imam Rauf said (on CNN) about the construction of a Muslim temple adjacent to the place where thousands died and a like number were injured, whose mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and children suffer over to this day: “If this is not handled correctly, this crisis could become much bigger than the Danish cartoon crisis, which resulted in attacks on Danish embassies in various parts of the Muslim world. If we don't handle this crisis correctly it could become something which could really become very, very, very dangerous indeed.”
Centralized supremacy and the potential for absolute power:
There is no question that the state wants control over every aspect of our lives. I don’t mean one or all of the “57 states”; I mean “the state,” as in single-party or dominant-party rule by which there are limited or no markets and only marginal worker self-management.
For the doubters amongst you, sit back and take a long, hard read of the “historic” tax hikes that will become effective in approximately 120 days. If these hikes come to pass—and if you voted for Obama—, ask yourself, “Is this the change I bargained for?” as you re-calculate increases in the cost of living against your increasingly shrinking paycheck.
Not enough? How about a Senate bill entitled Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act? This bill is being pushed by Joe Lieberman, by which the man in the Oval Office would be given a “kill switch” to shut down the Internet. Even if it doesn’t pass, the mere attempt of its creation exposes a contumacious mindset amongst the present powers, which is to spitefully sweep over and pull rank on every scrap of freedom that is justly ours, for which valiant heralds sacrificed, fought and died for our sake.
American citizens are on the brink of being relegated to the “industrial working class,” condemned to subsistence under the lash of democratic centralism; in other words, when a resolution is passed by the dominant party all discussion ends: we would live, breathe and die by their decisions, their mandates, their madness.
* * * * *
The current dominant ruling party is hurriedly preparing one-size-fits-all straitjackets for American men, women and children, and are rushing like the little devils they are to line us up for more shock treatments before November 2nd deadline.
If the majority of voters on that drop-dead date make the same mistake and allow those present in office to remain in office, we all might as well hop onto the backs of psychotic bulls and ride them straight into a burning barn, which would not be as insane as continuing to permit the gross insanities popping up daily in the hallowed halls of justice and government, as well as worldwide.
There is one minor consolation: the Time Warner Center in Manhattan—a strategic nucleus for leftwing biased reporting—is infested with bed bugs. I’m guessing that the term “intelligent design” didn’t go over well with the heavenly hierarch, and this plague might very well be the first of many, called payback.

The Year of the Locusts
By Julian Krasta
Buzzing throughout the now-shallow splendor of America’s First Residence is a pestilence of perversity. Swarming in ragged rank are the voracious hangers-on: flatterers, liars, hooligan academics, organized labor, hypocrites, psychotics, scabrous journalists, arm-twisting sleazebags…I mean lobbyists; and the rapidly increasing list of appointed commissar bunko artists.
Their point man is the present occupier of the Oval Office, who is obsessed with a deranged vision: castrate the United States of America, lay waste our economy, scour black our credibility, emasculate our military, strip us bare of our property and our inherent rights, and drive us to meager existence on the fringes of freedom.
This person, whose only gift is of effusiveness—who is not fully formed emotionally or politically and therefore, not of sound judgment or practical—, is ruthlessly determined to hamstring our nation’s defenses and run through the shredder our alliances with other free and democratic nations. He is dedicated to turn turtle the canons of our Constitution and torch our Bill of Rights, as well as the other primary documents that grant empowerment to the American People.
We’re worn to the bone. We’re scarred with psychological sores and physically sick from anguish and dissatisfaction. We’ve been beaten down and are nearly at the end of our endurance because of this man’s obduracy—and he shamelessly exhibits how ineffably and imperiously pleased he is with himself, this eater of souls.
We’re in a pitched battle to dig ourselves out from under the financial avalanche, which is the direct result of spiteful folly on the part of those we entrusted with our votes, and those we relied upon to keep our earnings, our savings, and our retirement plans safe and sound. They deceived and betrayed us.
Phi Beta Obama now are threatening to ravage what’s left of us with a “new and improved” 1,990-pages healthcare bill, which is shot through with 13 new tax hikes. Here is the entire bill: H.R. 3962, the “Affordable Health Care for America Act” (PDF version).
I realize this information has gone viral on the Internet. But I need to include it in my article so that I can be counted among those who are incensed—no, enraged—by the slop The Lollipop Guild have slapped down on the counter and expect that we pay through the nose for it. And as far as I can determine, no 12-step program exists to combat or overcome the damage this issue promises to wreak.
So, here are the tax hikes, with description and page number:
Employer Mandate Excise Tax (Page 275): If an employer does not pay 72.5 percent of a single employee’s health premium (65 percent of a family employee), the employer must pay an excise tax equal to 8 percent of average wages. Small employers (measured by payroll size) have smaller payroll tax rates of 0 percent (<$500,000), 2 percent ($500,000-$585,000), 4 percent ($585,000-$670,000), and 6 percent ($670,000-$750,000).
Individual Mandate Surtax (Page 296): If an individual fails to obtain qualifying coverage, he must pay an income surtax equal to the lesser of 2.5 percent of modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) or the average premium. MAGI adds back in the foreign earned income exclusion and municipal bond interest.
Medicine Cabinet Tax (Page 324): Non-prescription medications would no longer be able to be purchased from health savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending accounts (FSAs), or health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs). Insulin excepted.
Cap on FSAs (Page 325): FSAs would face an annual cap of $2500 (currently uncapped).
Increased Additional Tax on Non-Qualified HSA Distributions (Page 326): Non-qualified distributions from HSAs would face an additional tax of 20 percent (current law is 10 percent). This disadvantages HSAs relative to other tax-free accounts (e.g. IRAs, 401(k)s, 529 plans, etc.).
Denial of Tax Deduction for Employer Health Plans Coordinating with Medicare Part D (Page 327): This would further erode private sector participation in delivery of Medicare services.
Surtax on Individuals and Small Businesses (Page 336): Imposes an income surtax of 5.4 percent on MAGI over $500,000 ($1 million married filing jointly). MAGI adds back in the itemized deduction for margin loan interest. This would raise the top marginal tax rate in 2011 from 39.6 percent under current law to 45 percent—a new effective top rate.
Excise Tax on Medical Devices (Page 339): Imposes a new excise tax on medical device manufacturers equal to 2.5 percent of the wholesale price. It excludes retail sales and unspecified medical devices sold to the general public.
Corporate 1099-MISC Information Reporting (Page 344): Requires that 1099-MISC forms be issued to corporations as well as persons for trade or business payments. Current law limits to just persons for small business compliance complexity reasons. Also expands reporting to exchanges of property.
Delay in Worldwide Allocation of Interest (Page 345): Delays for nine years the worldwide allocation of interest, a corporate tax relief provision from the American Jobs Creation Act.
Limitation on Tax Treaty Benefits for Certain Payments (Page 346): Increases taxes on U.S. employers with overseas operations looking to avoid double taxation of earnings.
Codification of the “Economic Substance Doctrine” (Page 349): Empowers the IRS to disallow a perfectly legal tax deduction or other tax relief merely because the IRS deems that the motive of the taxpayer was not primarily.
* * * *
Government officials are falling all over themselves trying to convince us that they’re doing us a favor. That is ridiculous, bogus, and just plain wrong. Their farcical profferings are an attack on the American People’s dignity and on our nation’s stateliness.
Remember how Obama’s armies of boosters flapped and cawed “believe” and “hope and change” and “yes we can”? All that squeaking and quailing have ground to blessed silence, because their distorted illusions are what put that person in the White House, and no one knows better than them that they have royally “screwed the pooch.”
No supporter of his who I know personally can voice doubt about the course of destruction on which he and Congress are taking us. And any defense of them now dies quickly for lack of basis, or is knocked out cold by the burning stare of sober reality.
For some—the weak-minded, the spiritless, those who have forgotten how to stand straight, their eyes fixed on their feet—there is no remedy but to admit defeat and be cast into tax bondage. However, for the super-majority of Americans who are the blood, the guts, and the backbone of this country, there is no such thing.
The snapping jaws in Congress only think they have unlimited power to grind us down and devour us. They idiotically ignore the fact that it is the People—the stiff-necked, the proud, the indefatigable—who are the primary overseers of the greatest country on Earth. We are the unswerving and unchallengeable authority, not Pelosi, not Reid, not Dodd or Murtha, not Barney Frank or Rahm “Dr. Giggles” Emanuel, and certainly not Obama, all of whose status boils down to “temp replacements.”
Americans are battered and bruised, but we will not yield. We will never retreat, and we will never surrender, nor will we accept under any circumstances their burnt offerings, so help us God.

Buzzing throughout the now-shallow splendor of America’s First Residence is a pestilence of perversity. Swarming in ragged rank are the voracious hangers-on: flatterers, liars, hooligan academics, organized labor, hypocrites, psychotics, scabrous journalists, arm-twisting sleazebags…I mean lobbyists; and the rapidly increasing list of appointed commissar bunko artists.
Their point man is the present occupier of the Oval Office, who is obsessed with a deranged vision: castrate the United States of America, lay waste our economy, scour black our credibility, emasculate our military, strip us bare of our property and our inherent rights, and drive us to meager existence on the fringes of freedom.

Finks Dot Com
By Julian Krasta
Espionage against American Citizens has now been added to the liberals’ major food groups. Other delicacies include, but are not limited to, fraud-voting, larceny by way of increased taxation, infantilizing this country’s military strength, and arrogating the right to make decisions damning and damaging the United States of America.
Last week, disturbing reports sprang up that this administration’s internal spy network is encouraging civilians to turn informers – to hunt down websites, protesters, and grass roots organizations that, in their view, are considered hostile towards the plans and operations by Barack Obama and the squids in Congress, and to report them via an Internet link to the Oval Office.
Historically, spying on and ratting out friends, family or neighbors – and then handing them over to a party chief, a magistrate, or the high executioner for silver or a slice of bread – is nothing new in any nation. Forced and voluntary infidelity spawned accusation, accusation evolved into persecution, and persecution – then prosecution – ruined lives.
Today, it is the White House – the White House – that is exploiting psychological terror tactics against Americans: publicly appealing to the enthusiastic gangs of lunatic loyalists within the general public, escorting them onto the turncoat turnpike, and urging them to use ubiquitous surveillance and single out names.
The White House was once a symbol of our sacrosanct Constitution. It is now openly disrespected and abused by its current residents and their fascist goon platoons (who make Marx, Engels and Lenin look like the Von Trapp Family), in that they are defacing that splendid manor by using it as their worldwide web hub of scandalmongers, weasels and debasing political power.
This is gross misconduct on the part of the administration and its agents. Their “Spy & Tell” program corroborates the fact that our country’s central political authority has become a creepy-crawly counterintelligence state. And that is the number one menace to our right of choice, our right to privacy, and our right of free speech.
When the Presidency was created, it was not endowed with god-like qualities to save it from mistakes or to shield it from scrutiny and judgment by the American People. And the Oath of Office spoken by an elected president was not conceived as a license to lie.
The current holder of this office, however, appears to have assumed the role of god-king, the type who believes he is not just all powerful but almighty – the type that would do nothing short of celebrating black masses, poisoning the well of liberty from which we drink, and illicitly rooting out and punishing the free voices of rightfully concerned, conscientious objectors.
On May 10, 1933, at Berlin’s Opernplatz, the Sturmabteilung, or S.A., lit bonfires in which thousands of volumes of literature went up in smoke. On the same spot, a prophecy written by Heinrich Heine in 1821 is engraved in the ground to always remind the world of the monstrous nature of unrestrained tyrants: “Where they burn books, they will ultimately also burn people.”
The darkest sides of history seem to rear their ugly heads from time to time. Now is one of those times. At this moment, written commentaries and opinions are under threat of being “torched” by this administration. Writers of commentaries and opinions also are in danger of seeing our freedom to express our thoughts snuffed. And those threats are coming from the West Wing.
The White House is the official residence of a sitting U.S. President. Its address is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. While the locality might remain the same, don’t be surprised if one day in the next three and a half years that pristine avenue is renamed Prince-Albrecht-Strasse, which, in 1933, was where Gestapo headquarters were located – where some of the most horrifying sins known to mankind against mankind were formulated and mercilessly carried out.
This administration is on the fast track to emulate some of those sins, and to weaponize them to harm this country and its people.
But the American People possess the power to tame this administration’s noxious ambitions at the upcoming congressional elections. We all, therefore, must vote wisely.
Our choices are clear: Live in servility under the yoke of suppression, or live free.

American Jews Played a Key Role in Helping to Win the Revolutionary War
http://forums.military.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2341971921/m/7380063312001
During the difficult winter of 1777-1778, Americans were making every effort to endure their trials at Valley Forge, PA. Brave patriots were suffering from starvation, improper attire to survive the harsh elements, and a lack of ammunition. While Washington and his men were dealing with their privation, the British, on the other hand, after having captured Philadelphia, were spending the winter in comfort. The Patriots had tried unsuccessfully to re-capture Philadelphia and were discouraged. America was actually losing the war for independence, and many of our famous forefathers were fearful that they would be hung by the British when spring arrived.
They were in desperate need of aid to overcome their many hardships.
Haym Salomon, a Jewish investment banker from Philadelphia, was a true patriot devoted to the cause of independence from British rule. A member of the Sons of Liberty, Salomon was arrested and imprisoned by the British for being a spy. After being released, he was once more arrested, tortured, and condemned to hang. However, with assistance from other Patriots, he escaped and went to Philadelphia. At this time he was completely broke, but went back to work to earn money to help the Patriot cause.
Salamon raised money from American Jews, as well as European Jews, in support of the patriot cause for freedom. This money, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, was given to General George Washington to feed, clothe, and arm the Continental Army. Diaries of the Revolutionary leaders bear witness to the fact--"that when money was needed for the Revolutionary War, you went to Haym Salomon." Because of the generous support of the Jewish people, Washington was able to turn the tide in the war for our freedom and win America its independence.
In 1654, Asher Levy, one of the original twenty-three Jewish settlers in New Amsterdam (New York), demanded and secured for himself and fellow Jews the right to stand guard at the stockade. From Colonial time to the present, Jews have played an important role in the defense of the United States of America. On July 31, 1776, Frances Salvador, a plantation owner from South Carolina, was killed in a British incited Indian skirmish. He was the first Jew killed in the Revolutionary War. One hundred and twenty years later, in 1896, a group of Jewish Civil War veterans organized the Hebrew Union Veterans, an organization that was later to become the Jewish War Veterans of the USA. The Hebrew Union Veterans was founded as a direct result of slander that Jews had not participated in the military during the War Between States.
What concerned Jewish veterans then, and throughout America's history, concerns Jewish veterans today. Jews must still defend themselves against the canards of anti-Semites who continue to declare that Jews have not served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Thousands of Jews have died in combat for their country and thousands more have been wounded. Thousands of Jews have been awarded combat medals for performing their duty in time of war. Despite this record, the bigots continue to spread their lies/propaganda about the Jews. Some bigots even dare have the nerve to insinuate Jews have no right to work hard in this country and become successful. Some would have us think we should separate these Jews out from Americans when these are Jewish Americans whose ancestors have fought in every war this country has been involved in. Never do I recall a time looking at someone's last name in this country to decide whether I am going to vote for them or not. Yet many Muslims are making lists with Jewish names stating the political offices they hold or they are CEO of this company or that company, etc. It's disgusting!
A study of Jewish participation in the military during World War II clearly indicates Jews served in the Armed Forces beyond their numerical proportion to the general population. They received more than 52,000 awards, including the coveted Congressional Medal of Honor. Jews participated in the Korean War, in Vietnam, and most recently in the Persian Gulf War.
Today, the Jewish War Veterans of the USA combats anti-Semitism and bigotry. JWV assists the Office of Special Investigation in pursuing Nazi war criminals. JWV supports American youth through scouting, scholarships and anti-drug programs. JWV assists oppressed Jews worldwide. The organization supports strong U.S.-Israeli relations by sponsoring two Allied Veterans' Missions to Israel each year.
JWV is dedicated to America's veterans. Through its hospital, rehabilitation and veterans' service programs, JWV assists the Veterans' Service Offices in major cities throughout the country. JWV supports the underprivileged, homeless, and handicapped of our nation through a variety of civic betterment projects, including low-cost, federally subsidized senior citizens housing.
The Jewish War Veterans of the USA represents a proud tradition of patriotism and service to America. JWV is known as the "Patriotic Voice of American Jewry".
How dare Muslims try to say Jews do not have a right to be our leaders in this country!!! How dare Muslims try to say Jews do not have a right to be successful in this country…THEIR COUNTRY!!! How dare Muslims try to say Jews only have Israel at heart when they have fought and died in many wars for America and have been in this country since the very beginnings of this country!!! I just came from another message board where a Muslim was listing all the American Jews who held political offices and said we needed to get them out of office. What??? These Jewish Americans were elected to these political offices and have just as much of a right to be there as a German American, Irish American, African American, etc, etc, etc. We have all lived here peacefully for a very long time. Rarely did any Americans look at people’s last names and think, OhMyGosh, they’re a German American, we better not elect them for office. Now many Muslims come to this country with their hatemongering, propaganda spreading ways and I, for one, am fed up with it. I’m going to spread this as far and wide and for as long as I possibly can. Jews have been picked on for many, many years, and now we have Muslims wanting another Holocaust against them so bad they can't hardly stand it. Shame on them!
Muslims need to learn to love their children more than they hate Israel. They can assimilate into this country, stop spreading their hatred and lies and start trying to love EVERYBODY and love and respect this country for what it stands for or go back to their Islamic countries. Our ancestors and founding fathers did not fight and die just to have Muslims come in here and try to take this country over with a system and politics even worse than what they were running from.

They can assimilate into this country, stop spreading their hatred and lies and start trying to love EVERYBODY and love and respect this country for what it stands for or go back to their Islamic countries. Our ancestors and founding fathers did not fight and die just to have Muslims come in here and try to take this country over with a system and politics even worse than what they were running from.
Our Spineless Congress
Our Spineless Congress
By Julian Krasta
Once upon a time, in a more refined dimension, the Congress of the United States pledged allegiance to the Constitution and to the Stars & Stripes. Today, the Majority of this once august body are now using every foul tactic to clean America’s clock and ruin the lives of its citizens.
They have become the machinery of bully tactics, threats, and deceit. And they are functioning without resistance.
The mainstream media and ACORN are components of this machinery: They operate, construct, and destruct with impunity. We witnessed as they mocked decency, truth, and the laws during the presidential campaign. We watched as they stepped on heads and carried Obama across the finish line to victory: the MSM with their happy-go-lucky propaganda, and ACORN with their “ballot management.”
Congress bought the “hope & change” flimflam then sold their souls into slavery in the same way the German Army gave a blood oath to Hitler as Hindenburg lay in state. And just like those goose-stepping storm troopers, the Majority in Congress consider their “führer” and our homeland as one and the same.
The singular difference between Adolf and Barack is, at least Hitler preached unity. Obama has not, in my memory, stated in either broad or narrow terms that ours is one union; that we are one people, indivisible beneath one flag – our liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
There is, however, one glaring similarity: Just like Germany in 1933, America today is in a permanent state of emergency. Following are some of the reasons why:
The Majority in Congress are misusing their power to force the American People to regurgitate our Constitutional rights, our freedoms, and the principles by which we live.
And if that weren’t enough, that chatty cobra, Nancy Pelosi, expects us to accept as nutritious replacements the skewed gristle that spews from Capitol Hill.
Brutes reject respectability, morality, common sense, and responsibility. On the basis of their performance, in my estimation this Congress are such brutes: incapable of feeling any empathy; and they will never express remorse over, or apologize for, their swaggering or for their self-serving doctrines, the results of which are grief and hardship inflicted on the American People.
Every day and everywhere I go I see pain, confusion, defeat, and anger on people’s faces. Bulking up these maladies is fear, because, for example, the gutless wonders in the Senate have agreed with Obama to close down production on the F 22 fighter jets. The Obama-owned House and Senate are taking the slow but very accurate route for preparing America to be defenseless against a terrorist attack.
And there is that malignant healthcare reform plan, or as I call it, “Health Control.” How mighty arrogant of Obama and his crypt keepers to assume they have the required knowledge to pass judgment on our personal health issues – that they have the right to intrude on our right to our own life or death decisions.
But that’s not the half of it. Information has just been released that Obama has appointed Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel (Rahm Emanuel’s brother) as one of the overseers of our health. How familial.
Assuming this farshtunken bill passes, where are the thousands more doctors, internists, pediatricians, heart surgeons, brain surgeons, surgery assistants, oncologists, anesthesiologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, technicians, physical therapists, orthopedists, researchers, crisis counselors, hospice care providers, administrative staffs, paramedics and other emergency personnel (to name only a few) who will be needed for the millions of patients who will be herded into this medical corral?
The Majority in Congress must be witless to believe that if Obama rubs his rubies together all the aforementioned medical professionals will magically materialize.
What about hospitals, clinics, laboratories, research facilities, rest homes for our elders and shut-ins, and emergency medical transports? Are they under construction or ready to go? Will they be fully equipped with up-to-date, life-saving technologies, medications, and treatments? Will there be critical care and intensive care units? Will there be state-of-the-art surgical theaters or will it be meatball surgery in M.A.S.H. tents?
What about our military veterans who have suffered devastating physical and emotional injuries defending our country and our freedom? Will they receive the appropriate care they deserve? Or will they be shoved even further under the Congressional carpet?
And what about children’s hospitals like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for the critically ill? Will our little ones suffering from cancers and other life-threatening diseases succumb under a Congressional axe because the sitting bulls in the House and Senate were too timid, or too pathologically proud, or too daft to stand up to Obama and say “No way”?
The Majority in Congress are putting their dirty details ahead of the People and the safety of this nation. Everything they say and do is planned to place themselves above the laws of the land and as far beyond the reach of the American People as possible.
They do this because they blindly support a reptilian ideology, which is a hatred for capitalism and an incomprehensible grudge against individuals’ rights. It is by this ideology that they will confiscate more and more tax dollars from Americans who are already pushed beyond our financial limits – just the way the Third Reich confiscated the property of persons they deemed “inferior,” “impure,” or “undesirable.”
If you don’t think they’re not looking down their noses at us, just ask around as to who the genius is in the House who wrote the term “mentally retarded” into that bill. That alone reveals the attitude of the Bolsheviks that were voted into power in Washington.
What other insensitive terminologies have been written into that bill? Will persons who must wear glasses in order to see be called “Four-eyes”? Will senior citizens be graded “Geezers”? Will those with attention deficit disorders or learning disabilities be classified as “ Lamebrain” or “Dummy,” etcetera?
What’s next? Is Barack “We are not a Christian Nation” Obama planning on rewriting the laws of gravity?
The “senseless” in this country voted the spineless, the useless, the reckless, and the mysterious into power. And those men and women have set loose virulent political contagions that are spreading like wildfires across our land and into our homes and our lives.
Nevertheless, there is a stubborn faith inside me that remains strong in my fellow citizens. We must continue to hassle Congresspersons until they do what we want. If they refuse, we will vote out all the Lennys, the Squiggys, the Lavernes, and the Shirleys in the upcoming 2010 elections. We must never submit or quit.
Politicians, bureaucrats, demagogues and dictators historically underestimate constituents, which is always their biggest blunder. At this very moment Democrat, Republican, Independent, Moderate, and non-partisan voters are rising up like the sea – ready, willing and able to clear the decks of these subservient charlatans. Once we sort them out, we will then sweep clean all the dirty details they had forced upon us.
And after we dust ourselves off, the power in America will be restored to its fearless and rightful owner: The People.

Monsters Incorporated
By Julian Krasta
“He is known for his zealous oratory and anti-Semitism. He is the chief architect of a 2-state plan, which historians will document was the commencement of Middle East violence, culminating in a second Holocaust with Israel as its victim.
“He earned his Ph.D. from ‘wherever,’ wrote doctoral theses, penned an autobiography, and worked on Wall Street. He came into contact and became friends with known fanatics, crooks, and America haters.
“He was elected a senator in Illinois where he put his propaganda to full use, combating the local conservative party with the help of William (Weather Underground) Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Tony Rezko, and Rev. Jeremiah ‘Them Jews’ Wright.
“By 2005 he had risen in his party ranks to become one of its most prominent members.
“In that position he perfected an understanding of the “Big Lie” technique of propaganda, which is based on the principle that a lie, if audacious enough and repeated enough times, will be believed by the masses.”
* * * * *
The previous paragraphs fairly describe Barack Hussein Obama. But I’m admitting immediately, in order to make my point in this commentary, that I borrowed those passages almost verbatim from Wikipedia. They in fact point up a monstrous figure of history. I only changed the names, the locations, the tense, a few words here and there, and the date.
That monster was Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister…and Obama is a carbon copy.
Obama’s propaganda technique is explained best by Victor Davis Hanson in a recent piece entitled “Just Make Stuff Up.” In it, Hanson sets out comprehensively that Obama is prevailing over a system that appears in total order, but because of his nonstop fabrications that system can really only be disorganized and chaotic (e.g., the numerous Cabinet appointees who were vetted then booted on the basis of “mistakes.”)
Disorganization and chaos was Obama’s goal from the start. I watched him channel his hatred and anger into powerful speeches that pumped up his listeners but alienated Republicans, moderates, and clear-thinking Democrats. His uncompromising vocal tone successfully attracted drifters and malcontents who were easily programmed into believing that the time was never better for a revolution.
But there remains that one colossal catastrophe: those same itinerants and k’vetshers signed the contract without reading it. They had no idea what they agreed to revolt against, because their chosen one never once spelled out his true plans or aspirations. He only repeated—ad infinitum, ad nauseum—“hope” and “change” (in the manner in which Hitler incessantly shouted, “Deutschland!”).
Obama cleverly spoke in vague terms and left it to his snarling sycophants to fill in the miles-wide blanks, and they filled them with what they imagined he said or promised them. They see now that they had cast their lots for a bait n’ switch brute who had no intention of effecting the changes they expected (whatever those imaginary changes might’ve been).
When I first witnessed those orgasmic displays of affection for Obama, they appeared eerily similar to the way Germans thrust out their right hands in salute to the lunatic Bavarian paperhanger and his propaganda minister. Those images brought to mind this quote by Euripides: “When love is in excess, it brings a man no honor, nor worthiness.” It is especially significant since the excess love Obama appropriated has gone unrequited, and has been only used to step on heads and purloin the top executive position.
In my previous commentary I wrote that the people in Tehran would judge for themselves as to whether Obama’s proposal of friendship is popcorn propaganda. The millions protesting the (phony) election is the answer, which I believe is their way of saying they want nothing more to do with egocentric and immoral dictators (whether he be an Iranian or an American).
If the Iranian people had faith that Obama and Ahmadinejad could “get it on” they would have accepted the results of the election. But their outright anger against the incumbent’s manufactured victory speaks volumes: If they’ve had it up to there with Mahmoud and the threat of annihilation it would be unthinkable that they would want to cozy up with the guy who hijacked the U.S. presidency, whose only real accomplishment to date is he bagged a house fly.
The protests undoubtedly have thrown a monkey wrench into Obama’s nefarious plans to secure Iran as a nuclear hot zone and remain an ongoing threat to Israel. The Iranian people’s reaction proves, to me at least, that they think his rapier wit is not that rapier after all, particularly since Obama has mimicked Jimmy Carter by stating it would do not good for the U.S. to meddle with the issue. That statement alone brazenly contradicts his monosyllabic twitters of “hope … change … yes … we … can.” And never forget that it was Carter’s psychopathic mind-set that plowed the road for the Taliban to overthrow the Shah, which catapulted the virulent and bloodthirsty Islamic terrorism stampeding rampant today.
There will always be voracious dictators with whom we must contend, whether they wear uniforms of the military, desert robes, or pin-stripe suits. They are responsible for unspeakable destruction and unconscionable carnage. But not one of them has outlasted the peoples’ endurance, nor will any ever undermine the sacrifices human beings are willing to make for the precious gifts of liberty, democracy, and peace.
So let us acknowledge the courage of those Iranians who are saying NO to the “Big Lie,” and honor those who are being beaten and killed for demanding justice, freedom, and the truth. My heart and prayers go out to them and to their families, and to the millions of others in Iran and everywhere who are “holding the line” against the monsters.
