Part 7  —  Bait n’ Switch

How did we get to this point?

Contrary to popular understanding, Right/Left/Fascist/Socialist/Communist is not a continuous spectrum between two, polar opposites (“left” and “right” moral ideologies/worldviews). 

Although the traditional concept of right-to-left was anarchic-to-totalitarian government-type, a different spin was cleverly invented, and slowly brainwashed in the populace (quicker, deep-clean wash cycles being employed in the universities):

At the end of WWII, “right” was re-defined in order to serve as a red herring bogeyman, to scare people into accepting/voting for the socialist/liberal (“left”) route to totalitarianism  …because that was the intermediate governmental form decided upon long ago by those who had entrenched themselves into the West’s power structure, for the purpose of eventually taking control of Western Society (and, ultimately, the world).

Here’s how the spin was spun:

1)  Originally, ‘right’ described a type of government form (operational structure), ‘fascist’.

Later, ‘fascist’ was slowly linked to the social/moral worldview, ‘conservative’. 

‘Capitalism’ was then slowly linked to ‘conservative’, and portrayed as Fat Cats (the epitome of which is the Evil Corporation  —which is, by the way, a creation of the State:  corporations are chartered!).

Thus, the mental picture of boots stomping on the necks of the workers was successfully transferred from fascist governments  …to corporations and moral conservatives.  Worst of all, you see, conservatives are morally stodgy;  i.e., have an “intolerant” attitude towards behaviors that God (and all Western societies up `till the time of the Enlightenment) say we shouldn’t do.

2)  Similarly, the original connotation of ‘liberal’ (that governments do not impinge upon their citizens’ individual liberty) was changed over a period of time  …to supporting certain people’s immorality  —namely, their goal of “liberating” society from any and all constraints on behaviors considered immoral or deviant by Western (i.e., Christian) and most other cultures.

They targeted people with proclivities towards immoral lifestyles, especially sexual:  They were co-opted by promises of a free love- and drugs-type Utopia, into supporting something quite different from what they thought they were buying;  instead, they elected and otherwise installed a pervasive, permanent Ruling Class with a thirst for Controlling It All & Controlling Us All  —that will eventually brook no limits or even protestations as to Their authority, and be willing go to any immoral means to get it.  To wit:  Congress no longer informs the voters what’s really in their legislation.  Boo!

3)   As well, the ‘socialist’ government-type, was slowly characterized as being Just, while simultaneously employing Marx’s class warfare (starting with government should be for the Working Man;  conservatives are Fat Cat bloodsuckers;  owner’s wealth (both property and the Means of Production) should be Equalized, so to “Fairly” redistribute the wealth all around). 

(Now, the joke’s on the ones who voted for the politicians who bandied about these and similar canards:  even the Worker’s wealth is being redistributed (at least those who’ve worked themselves out of the formal Poverty Level), via taxes and via Equal Outcome schemes in all areas of life, such as “Equal Employment”  —there’s that pattern again!)

Denied or ignored: 

1) Socialism’s being intrinsically evil, as it is based on theft;  also, that the loot that the FedGov sops up  —and then offers to dole out to various Victim Groups upon Applying for Aid—  engenders its citizens’ coveting their fellow citizen’s money and property;

2) Human nature’s limitations and proclivities towards sin, ensures that the people clawing their way to power (jobs, etc.) or largess (subsidies, grants, contracts) in the theft-, coveting-, corruption- and other sin-engendering environments that Centralized governments create will eventually be corrupted  —along with the Bureaucracies becoming their own, large, Special Interest constituencies-with-badges;  thereby, the State will eventually, intrinsically, arrogate unto itself all Power, thus eventually snuffing out individual liberty: 

A government powerful enough to give you everything is powerful enough to take away everything  —and eventually will.

(Government employees always think they’ll escape Purges  …until they find themselves purged.)

Part 6  —  Thinking Themselves gods

…is displayed for all to see, being that the Messiah and His fellow Marxist travelers’ actions are taking us down the Road to Perdition (towards Total, Central Control):

• Their attitudes & beliefs are now obvious because they ARE attempting to create a Utopia:  Creating and successfully operating central Control of It All requires omniscience.

Therefore, they must actually believe they’re omniscient, know what’s best for everyone, everywhere, and can handle every circumstance well in time enough to prevent injustice to all of their subjects  —even What’s-its-Name Township in Flyover Country.  From Washington.  Yeah, right.

And they’re setting up using the force of law to impose Their vision of Total Control Utopia on you.  Simon says;  you do.  And like it.  Got that?  (Just like the playground bullies from your past.  Oh, and give `em your lunch money, too.)

They must actually believe Themselves to have overcome human limitations and failings, actually believe themselves able to successfully Centrally Control all sectors of our society via Bureaucracy!

They must actually believe They can’t be corrupted absolutely!  (If so, then why is Congress ramming through falsely-named Legislations?  Why is pork barrel corruption at record levels, in the billions and billions(!) each year?  Why are they thereby stealing so much of our money??!  Why, that is Corruption!  They are already corrupted!  And they’re giving Themselves even more power/Authority over us, Their serfs!!)

• Even more, understand that their Prime Directive, their Holy Grail, is the erasing of all reference to God and His principles (moral, social, economic, etc.).  Because Their principles are the opposite of Gods’.

Their belief system, their religion, is known as “secular humanism”, which even the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled to be a Religion.  It places man in the position of God, as ultimate Arbiter of what is good and bad, what is right and wrong, replacing the Ten Commandments with their own 137,367,452 (and counting) capricious commandments.

Make no mistake:  They intend to institute their militant, take-no-prisoners religion (which killed almost ¼ billion people, last century!!) via socialist-Marxist governmental means and mechanisms.  

So much for their much-vaunted, Über-sacrosanct Separation of Church and State.

Their Political Correctness rules are one-sided;  penalties apply only to those folks whose principles happen to contradict their [immoral] worldview.  And Christianity happens to be the only religion whose worldview so thoroughly destroys Their religious worldview, so completely deconstructs their facades, false arguments, and constructs. 

Which is why, as the adolescent the likes of Code Pink are fond of moronically screaming…  “Ho!  Ho!  Christianity’s Got to Go!”.

• It follows, then, that They actually believe themselves gods! 

Else, why constantly strive to create a man-made Utopia  —something that intrinsically requires centrally-controlling everything, which thereby intrinsically requires the creating of the all-knowing/-wise/-powerful Ütopia Man (in the form of Bureaucracy) to pull it off  —and which thus requires the Crown Jewel of overruling God as the Giver of Laws?

That illogical construct is why all reference to God must be erased from the public square (and even, if truth be told, the private square).  Lest someone asks “What, then, does God require of the beings He created?”  …with one of His Top Ten Answers being “thou shall not steal”.

Which precludes socialism  —as it is based on theft, and engenders coveting and other sins.

Let’s consult one of Our Obamamma’s favorite bedtime stories, that He no doubt inculcates into His two little girls’ souls:  Robin Hood.

Robin Hood was a hood  —albeit his gang stole for “noble” reasons.  However, God’s law (Justice) does not allow theft in order to extract vengeance;  to “get back” at someone;  to procure “Fairness” (defined by Political Correctness;  instead, Just Laws are to be sought, using due process);  or to “level the playing ground” (by which socialists and Marxists mean, “level the outcomes” of life, until everyone (except the Ruling Class), globally, is on the same material and social level  —even if it’s a subsistence level in their vision of a Utopian, Global Obamammaland Serfdom,-with-a-Green hue, no matter how hard you work:  that’s only “Fair”, right?).  

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. 

Sound familiar?

Remember your Grandma telling you “two wrongs don’t make a right”?  But, it’s not about “equal opportunity”  —because that doesn’t lend itself to manipulating/social engineering the outcome of our society for Their purposes.

It’s about excusing theft.

    It’s about Control.

                It’s about Their being God.

(Well, I know.  We’re all just so much more sophisticated than Grandma, and “the times are just so much more complex, requiring myriad moral nuances to be employed in order to make it in the world”.  Oh boy, we are sure good at rationalizing our way out of moral predicaments and restrictions on our behaviors!)

The vast majority of Americans claim to be “Christian” in worldview  —but cannot be bothered to take the time to understand, much less how to apply, God’s principles and resultant worldview.  They are thereby ignorant and unskilled in rebuking the sophistries of baby killers, sodomites, socialist thieves, etc. (or even recognizing their sophistries).

Thus, they have become befuddled cowards, easily guilt-kowtowed into believing the liberal’s canards (see if you see a pattern here vis-à-vis one-sided application of Politically Correct  Rules) such as:

Separation of Church and State (one of the most successful brainwashing lies in history);

Mere symbols on road signs and crosses in cemeteries “establish” a religion; 

Not understanding that the “Fairness Doctrine” will not result in “fairness”;  it is legislation designed to neuter conservative radios and TV shows;  but is a “doctrine” that is not applied to PBS, NBC et al;

Mentioning God makes people feel “uncomfortable”, so that’s just-so-obviously wrong (but don’t discuss it any deeper than that!); 

Well, no kidding, bud!  When the conscience that God placed in a soul convicts a person of sin, that person certainly doesn’t want anyone  —or anything—  reminding them of their consciences’ Author!! 

Yup.  Sinning is oppressive to the soul He created  …because He created it to not sin;  hmmm…  so sinning is unnatural to your soul!

But, people won’t be forced to believe that in the U.S.:  True Christian societies will leave people alone to express what they wish, in almost any manner they like.  So, e.g., why do atheists seek to quash every vestige of Christianity around all of us?

(Besides, so much immorality is wantonly displayed via the mass media, to debauch us and our children and grandchildren  …why make such a huge deal about a Cross on a street sign, that’s been there as long as anyone can remember?!?  Why, that Cross certainly didn’t affect L.A., keep it from descending into a moral sewer!)

(A person has to be trained at length in order to suppress your conscience.  One has to be told many lies, over and over, and not know God’s principles in order to believe that the United States is the font of all evils  …as opposed to the truth, that socialist-Marxist-communists, both foreign and domestic, being responsible!)

Thus are Americans also easily talked into believing virtually anything the mass media “reports”, including which individuals and groups are to be Hated (based on even outright false accusations, usually employing the Trick of Insinuating guilt and intolerance, sometimes ruining the lives of those they lie about).  Not very Tolerant of the PC crowd, eh?

But, now you know better:  Now, if you ever hear O, or one of His Oministrators say they’re not gods, you understand that they are lying about that, too.

(If they’re not gods   —thus, not able to pull off creating a Ütopia Man Bureaucracy—   then, they are perpetrating the most massive, fraudulent transfer to the Central Government of The People’s money, property, authority and liberty of all time!!)

Unfortunately (for us, the soon-to-be-pathetic Object Lesson of Their Total Control pogrom), history has shown that this type and this scope (national or larger) of megalomaniac Control has always led to widespread atrocities in the name of the Noble Principles that have been invented and promulgated by humans (and deliberately designed to reject God’s principles, with no limitations as to Authority and Jurisdiction). 

Which is the Warning Sign to the rest of us mere mortal, non-control freaks:  they place Themselves in the Position and Authority of God!

This is because absolute power eventually corrupts absolutely.  Only God has the power to keep Himself from being corrupted, not to mention corrupted absolutely.  (Note that once liberty is gone, it takes a lot of blood, suffering and time for a People to regain it.)

That’s the universal history of Central Control.

Think about what the Communists and Nazis did to their own people  —even to those who only objected, said something, or looked askance at their Regulators.  They murdered millions of their own people!

• We are being taken down the Marxist Road to Totalitarian Hell.

The personal histories of Obama and His Team Clinton Administration:  they are all of them Militant Marxist;  Marxists absolutely hate the individual, family, business and religious freedoms represented and provided for by God and the U.S. Constitution  —and mean to destroy both, by hook or by Court.  They’ve been diligently working at it for over 90 years.

People who know true history know it is being reprised once again.  This time:  Planetary Endgame.

But, take heart.  As Tavis Smiley always says, “Keep the Faith”.  (I take it he means that in the Christian eternal perspective sense:  If you’re Saved, your Gods’, and all will work out for the best, in the end.  By the way, no one  —not powerful angels or demons, much less the little would-be gods and tyrants here on earth—  can steal one’s Salvation;  John 1:12, 10:28.)

Ultimately, it’s O and his fellow-travelers that are the silly bunnies, militantly hopping towards their own, personal, permanent Judgment Day (everyone dies some day), thumbing their noses at God all the way. 

The meek shall inherent the earth, not those who arrogate to themselves godhood, intending to replace God, ignoring and contradicting His principles at every turn they can think of;  corrupting everyone they can (via engendering coveting and other sins);  leading, then forcing, millions of people towards a Totalitarian Hell on Earth (which is never good for the Environment;  to wit:  Nazi Germany, the USSR, China, etc., etc.);  and murdering, aborting and euthanizing as many millions of those not in their circles of friends as they possibly can, whom they consider to be parasites on Their kingdom’s resources.

[See my next post as to some of the particulars of how we hot to this point, and what are our present governmental and societal states of affair.]

Part 5  —  Nothing New Under the Sun

It has always been, and always will be, with us:

While it doesn’t make sense to the average Joe, certain personality-types have an insatiable thirst for Power and Control  —which always eventually ends up concentrating into a totalitarian Center of Power, attaining to itself All Authority.  “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Humans are intrinsically political beings. 

For example, when three people come in contact with each other for some period of time, it is usually the case that two of them are going to have more of an affinity towards each other than they do to the third.  Thereby a constituency develops.  Everyone knows the potential consequences of this, both good and bad, for all three people.

Likewise, all human organizations are intrinsically political. 

When a bunch of people are in contact with each other over long periods of time, larger constituencies develop within the organization’s internal body politic.  Constituencies inevitably develop that “look out for their own”, whether that takes place solely within a department, between departments, between a department and management, or even between an organization’s entire workforce and management.

As well, an organization’s internal constituencies deal with the world outside of the organization, which represent the interests of that organization to, e.g., the marketplace it find itself in  —dealing with, e.g., both potential customers (“you should do business with us because…”), and potential competitors and benefactors (“you fund us  —not the other guy—  because…”).

Likewise, within all governments internal constituencies develop. 

And governments have various bureaus that become constituencies internal to that government.  These constituencies have a vested interest to compete, obtain, maintain and increase public monies to themselves. 

Many such constituencies have a tendency to become corrupted, in that they don’t look out for their employer’s or their customer’s bests interests  —even if a bureau’s mission is a Noble one.  Instead, their focus tends to be in the interests of themselves  …particularly funding and power/authorities (which give rise to “turf wars”, some of which have become famous, such as domestic vs foreign intelligence agencies).

This becomes a problem when the customer is the People. 

Especially when the People’s representatives become lazy in their oversight of the bureaus.  Doubly especially when the People’s representatives become corrupted themselves.  And triply especially when a nation’s federal government becomes too Centralized, too huge, and too powerful.  And too hungry and greedy for money and power.

The larger and more geographically-remote the Bureaucracy, the larger, more powerful, inaccessible, callous, inefficient, wasteful, etc., are its bureaus and its internal constituencies. 

When it’s a Bureaucracy the size of the U.S. FedGov you’re talking about  …you’re talking about a very powerful Bureaucracy  —with all of the characteristics listed above (inaccessible, etc.) magnified. 

Now, that’s something to be scared of!

That is why Centralized governments become so dangerous to a people. 

That is why government has to be de-centralized, its authorities and powers severely limited, vested in, and controlled by the People. 

The grinding march down the road towards Total Control of the Known Universe has been attempted from time to time, in fits and starts, since the Garden.  With periods and pockets of peaceful Liberty.

The particular “fit” we find ourselves in is truly global in scope.  Don’t let a [global economic] crisis go to waste!  (Especially since the 19^TH century, Crises   —genuine or manufactured;  large or small;  general or personal/unique;  mundane or spectacular/grotesque—   have been used to grab and centralize power, to tear down jurisdictions, to change or wear-down public opinion into accepting the unacceptable/immoral.  Even the disgusting/depraved.)

Total Control IS the Ultimate road that Obama and his cadre of Marxists ARE taking us down, NOW.  Forcing all of us to go down that road.  Period.  You will change your habits.  “For the Planet.”

To wit:  Obama’s nationalizing entire “sectors”:  energy, health care, etc.:  Eventually, no choice.  No matter His and His minion’s protestations to the contrary (that they won’t adversely affect, e.g., your Freedom to Choose):  Well, then, why are you nationalizing and socializing various sector of our lives, O???

Take health care, for example:  O’Sophist knows very well that an “optional” government health care “plan”  —subsidized and regulated  —and even directly operated—  by the 800 trillion pound FedGov (thereby appearing cheaper to those who don’t understand)—  will, like the twin abominations Medicare and Medicaid have, distort the markets, eventually causing non-government companies and doctors to lose money, thereby forcing them out of business.  And provide less care.  And lower quality care.  He knows this.  Liar.  (On the one hand, He’s telling us what “His” health care plan will and will not do “for us”;  on the other hand, He says He doesn’t know what it will and will not do, because it’s Congress’ legislation.  And so He lies once again.)

That the actions of Him (and His Regulators, and His Horde in the one-party Congress) have and are taking us down that road  …is proof of their ultimate intentions. 

There is no longer any possibility of denying it, or lying about it;  their road is inexorably leading to a place-certain:  Total, Centralized Control of our lives, our future.  In poverty.  That is their Goal.

The majority of the people don’t see it yet, because they don’t know history, don’t understand political science, aren’t aware of, and/or don’t understand the consequences of the numerous pieces of legislation being proposed and being passed, nor of the Executive Orders being executed.

Example:   You couldn’t possibly cajole me to voluntarily replace all my light bulbs with much more expensive (and depressing and hard-on-my-eyes & brain) bulbs, which more than negate any energy cost savings.  But uncaring, ideologically-motivated government Bureaucraps (whose ideologies blind them to other people’s valid concerns) can, in magical I Dream of Jeanie fashion  —with the flick of a pen, command us to do so, regardless of the consequences.  Because they consider themselves to be our lords, and because they have all the B-52’s and shiny, gold G-man badges. 

And the vast majority of the American People are completely unaware of this or the thousands of other legislative initiatives “our” Congress is inundating us with, drowning us in. 

No one person can be aware of them all.  But the various Bureaus  —that include people who certainly know what they want to do!—  know the Regulations that they can use for The Cause. 

If they wanted to, they could all come down on a single person and destroy him, both psychologically and physically.

Total, Centralized Control of our lives, our futures, into a one-size-fits-all paradigm:  This is the Road to economic and social Perdition, that the Dru’s intend for America  …and the world:

Which is why the myth of Warming is called “Global”:  Global Problems logically need Global Controls and Bureaucracies, yes?  If we agree:  Gotcha.  Global Endgame.  If we don’t agree, well, it’s a slower road for them, to be sure, as controls must then be instituted more slowly, without our glowing support, our voluntarily skipping merrily along that Road in the Quest to Save those eating machines, the Cuddly 2,000 pound Polar Bears.

But, not to despair!  Thank God the U.S. Congress finally has a solid, one-party socialist majority in both houses!  So now, all kinds of controls can be rammed through and executed by that same party’s very willing accomplices in the so-called “independent” Executive and Judicial Branches.

And this one-party socialist majority is continuing to ensure that hundreds of billions of dollar per year of pork barreling just keeps on and on.  In fact, it is increasing by the second  —literally!!  I wonder if a single piece of legislation that Congress generates does not include pork?

Even with our economy in dire straights, with so many people out of work:  billions and billions of dollars of additional “earmarks” (graft) are “tucked away” (hidden) in the massive pieces of legislation that keep being pumped out of Washington!  And our Representatives and Senators keep letting it happen!!

Makes one wonder if the fall of our country is inevitable:  These people are acting as if they can keep stealing hundreds of billions of dollars from our economy, perpetually;  that our wealth is infinite;  that no amount of diverting money from our real economy can destroy us;  that no amount of stealing money from taxpayer’s pockets could ever finally crush us.

Thereby, the Slow Road to Hell is being greased by all kinds of corrupt “Representatives”, Senator Godfathers, and Judicial Barons, who learned their trade as Bosses of one sort or another in Chicago and other Dark Denizens and government-funded Socialist Corruption Learning Centers.

The slow, inexorable Centralization of power to Wash, D.C., that we’ve witnessed since FDR’s unconstitutional dictatorship was temporarily scotched (remember?  virtually all of FDR’s New Deal Bureaus were adjudicated as being unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court).  It will eventually be played out on a global scale, with Brussels being the new Washington, D.C. of the world.

That’s their ultimate Central HQ location  …noting that the Chinese have been making noises which indicate they want Beijing to be The Center of It All.  So stay tuned for some fireworks along those lines:  It’s not for nothin’ that the Federal Reserve sends one of its Grand Poobah’s (Tim Geithner, presently in the guise of U.S. Treasury Secretary) with hat in hand to cajole the Chinese to stop making waves (the Chinese want their Central Bank’s notes to be the world’s “Reserve Currency”, instead of the Anglo-Saxon/Eastern Establishment’s Federal Reserve Notes).

The Free World is being talked into merrily (and with Hope for Change in their hearts!) going down this pipe dream Road, in the name of Fairness and “Protecting” such things as the cute, defenseless Children Polar Bears, etc.  —so don’t even think about protesting, you “single-issue Right Wing Extremists”! 

(By the way, just who has time to seriously engage more than one issue  —being that those who actually pay taxes work more than half the year just to pay all of them?  And by the way, aren’t most liberal activists “single-issue”, too  —except those liberal-socialist-Marxist “quasi-governmental” entities that are subsidized to the tune of millions and millions of your dollars each year?)

Meanwhile, Polar Bears are more numerous than any time in the past century. 

And ice is growing/accumulating in the Antarctic.  And the Globe is cooling (so revive the Global Cooling Scare of the 1970’s!).

More truths that are inconvenient to that perennial liar and dumb bunny, Al Gore.  It will suck to be him on Judgment Day.

[See my next post as to what O & Co. think they are, some of the things they have to do to achieve their Goal, and a little bit on how we got our undies in this bundle.]

Part 2  —  Simon Says

His endgame? (envelope, please):  Re-make our society into a socialist-Marxist one.  Which will inevitably require Total Control of All.  Simon says.  But for now:  Utopia in Our Time!  Pinky promise!!

Anyone who’s read Philip Dru: Administrator or 1984   —or, in spite of Peter Jennings, et al, knows the horror story of what the socialist-Marxist-communists did to the peoples of Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia last century—   can well imagine what endgame Marxist O’Dru & Co. has in mind for us.  (Ever hear of the ideology of his famous “pastor of 20 years”, Liberation Theology?  That furnishes a Big Hint.) 

Why, He’s already revealing his real goals via His actions.  Examples:

• He’s   —super-quickly!—   converting large chunks of America into the final stages of a corporate fascist State (the conversion of which has been underway for a long time;  but, that’s another story).

Finally understanding, Bankers asked, but at first were not allowed to(!), give back the billions of TARP money  —that many of the bankers were forced by the Treasury Dept to “take” in the first place  …via, e.g., the G-men threatening audits (and threatening to make them public, which would’ve been real bad for businesses during the height of the financial crisis, as that would’ve caused great loss in consumer confidence in those companies).  This, the media calls “borrowing”.

The bankers persisted in asking, and after a while, under continuing pressures, O relented, His Treasury Dept. Boiler Room came up with a bevy of stall tactics:  O.K., uh, er, uh…  well, here’s what we want you do to:  1) come up with, and report to us (under penalty of perjury, of course), your current asset-to-debt ratio (which will take up some time for big corporations to do, in order to make triply-sure they don’t not run afoul of perjury).  After y`all report back to us, then we need time to…  2) magically dream up how many dollars you’ll have to “keep on hand”  …before we will even think of   3) “allowing” you to return the TARP money  …at which time, we’ll require you to perform the time-consuming task of  4) raising the required tens of billions of keep-on-hand dollars,  …followed by, sometime later,   5) our giving you permission to pay back the “emergency” TARP money.  Or maybe only some of it.  Or maybe none.  We’ll get back to you.

So, just who’s in Control of the banks??

Simon says, “we’ll just make this all up as we go along, creating Strings to keep you attached to our Treasury Dept. Control Booth”.

Now (June, 2009), some banks are being allowed to return some TARP money (10 “larger” banks are even being allowed to exit the TARP program, so that sounds good, right?).  But, wait!  Then you find out that four of the five largest banks aren’t being “allowed” to return their TARP money!

Simon says, “we’ll still Control you, one way or another”.

Such as via the Pay for Performance requirements of TARP, which authorizes The Chairman of the Board (O;  not Sinatra) to dictate the compensation of the top earners of “Any financial institution that sells troubled assets to the Secretary under this Act … shall require that the financial institution meet appropriate standards for executive compensation and corporate governance”.  (Translation:  Do what we say, or we may Change your compensation.  Message received.  Bank will comply with O’s wishes.)

And since not all banks have “borrowed” TARP money, why He’s come up with another trick to put up His sleeve, in case All Refuse to Comply:  He now wants His lackeys in Congress to give Him the Authority to dictate the pay of the top 10 earners at all banks, not just those with TARP money.  Sweet arrangement you got there, O’Simon!  (Upon obtaining that Authority, I wonder if those banks will then gladly do whatever O Charlemagne’s minions hint that He wants?)

It’s about the Control.

It’s about the Money.  To gain more Control.

      So, it’s about the Control, mostly.

Reality is stranger than fiction.

Now, let’s see…  since that TARP Money thing has turned out to be really Pliable & Useful in the Fingers of O, what other Control can the O Man dream up?  Let’s see …

• TARP was sold to the American People as being only to “bail out” banks and other financial institutions  —even the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), which created TARP, states, “any institution, including, but not limited to, any bank, savings association, credit union, security broker or dealer, or insurance company….”.

Well, to a talented Sophist (Liar) & Extortionist like O, that sure sounds like Congress meant car companies.  Why, GMAC Financial Services has ‘GM’ in its name, right?  And Chrysler Financial has ‘Chrysler’ in its name, right?  That means car companies!

So let’s see what legal fictions O Alchemist has  —poof!—  turned into force-of-“law” reality:

• He’s orchestrated  —forced—  the takeover of two of our country’s largest industrial corporations, GM and Chrysler  …by the Government.

After  …pumping some 100 billion of our dollars into them (using some of His new SuperSlushFund, TARP;  which, apparently, is to be handled like petty cash in the overall scheme of trillions of dollars) and Changing their ownership structure, only then did He “allow” them to declare bankruptcy!

That was big of Him.  All hail our Über Czar, our King Simon Says!

Most of GM stockholders’ property has been “transferred” to Big Government (60%) and  —surprise!—  Big Union (18%), with the original stockholders (which includes little old grandmas) being allowed to keep 22% of their stock.  That, too, was big of Him.

I expect the previous stockholders are thankful, after the lion’s share of all their money, that they put into GM over the years  —their property—  has been “given” to other people.  Some Dare Call it Theft.

Marxist-style, 20% of a company’s Means of Production has been  —poof!—  “given” to the much-abused, highly underpaid Workers at GM by O’Lenin.  Just like Karl Marx envisioned.

Using billions of your tax dollars.  Because they “deserve” it, because it’s “Fair”.  (And because the UAW coordinated gobs of votes for Him.  Shhhh.)

I equally expect the proletariat (Marx’s term for ‘manual laborers’) are thankful that their new, stolen portfolio was shored up with billions of your tax dollars, before they received that particular gift-wrapped present.  So that’s what a “windfall profit” is!  (Let me guess:  I’ll bet Labor unions are tax-exempt entities, yes?  And they can give money to political campaigns??  And they can borrow from [government-influenced] banks against their new, non-windfall profits-taxed stock portfolio???  Maybe I’m getting too cynical.  Corrupted politics can do that to a person.)  What does RICO stand for, again?

I also expect that the Ford Motor Company is none too happy that GM and Chrysler have had a $100B infusion of capital  —of tax dollars, no less!—  with which they can compete against Ford.  And O talks about “evening the playing field”!  (Of course, Ford may not want to complain, being that there are legions of O’s Orcs (Bureaucrats) with Regulations at the ready, which give them Authorities in all matters touching businesses, and which could be directed to “quietly look into” Ford’s activities  …at all its facilities Throughout the Land…  oh, this isn’t looking very pretty.)  Mussolini must be proud.

Oh, and I don’t want to forget (there’s so many Emergency actions going on!) the hit love story, O’Cupid, Chrysler & the Union:  Why, I expect the UAW also likes its new 60% stake that He’s orchestrated for them there, too.  (I wonder how much the UAW’s total net worth has increased this year?  No recession for that corporation tax-exempt entity!  This Crisis sure didn’t go to waste for them, especially considering that they were on the ropes prior to this non-taxed-for-them windfall!)  (But, everyone else’s taxes will skyrocket shortly, as we’ll see, later.)

As well, let’s not forget that O has orchestrated that a foreign company, Fiat, is getting a 35%(!) stake, in exchange  —not for ponying up money!;  only U.S. taxpayers are required do that  …around the world!—  but for “sharing” its Efficiency Technology (whatever that means;  I’d like a deal like that:  get a stake in a huge, “leaner” company whose debts have vanished by edict of the King!).  Looks like O’s Mafia operations are going Global already, starting with sending loot to its Italian Fatherland.

I wonder who UAW members might vote for, next Presidential election?  Telepromptered hints, anyone?

• It would’ve been much cheaper for us taxpayers if Obama would’ve just “allowed” GM and Chrysler to declare bankruptcy in the first place  —the normal, legal route already available, which has worked for hundreds of years without the Executive Branch doing so much intervenin’ and power & wealth & property redistributin’. 

Talk about the politics of the past!  Talk about conflicts of interest!  Talk about unconstitutional Executive Branch actions, the likes of which have not been seen since the days of our last King, FDR, when the Supreme Court declared most of his New Deal power-grab schemes unconstitutional.

It’s about Transfer of Wealth & Property (which socialist-Marxists call “Fairness”).

It’s about Political Gerrymandering/Vote Buying/Payola (which socialist-Marxists call “Fairness”).

It’s about the Transfer of your Power & Authority to FedGov, Inc (which socialist-Marxists call “Fairness”).

(Makes one wonder how the economy would be doing, if the trillions of dollars were simply given to us peasants, instead?  Without all the government bureaucratin’ and money n’ power transferrin’.  Hmmm…  Maybe would’ve resulted in an instant “backstop” of the Mortgage Crisis?  …but we peasants don’t have close, personal Friends in High Places, like George Soros, that can pull O’s strings (which are connected to His Hip Pocket;  which is connected to our Purse Strings).)

• He and His hench-Committeemen (none of whom have ever run an auto company!) have established yet another Precedent:  inserted themselves into the corporate boardroom and fired key corporate personnel (the remaining will no doubt follow His telepromptered wishes, ya think?).  His takeovers affect a huge ownership and employment base, across a complex multitude of supplier streams.  But, don’t worry;  He knows what He’s doing.  To wit: He’s telepromptering His vision of proper, green product offerings.  To be dictated by His committees, czars and piles of even more Regulations than the hundreds of thousands we already labor under.  And brought about by one heck of a compliant Board of Directed at the top.  So He knows how to run car companies.  Really Smart guy.

Because He knows what us citizens will voluntarily buy.  Or be forced to buy, via His upcoming Luxury taxes.

Him Big Boss.  His surrogate “czars” will dictate many things (in the 1930’s, newspapers called FDR’s czars “dictators”;  I kid you not!).  According to Reuters, there’s presently a bank bailout czar, an energy czar, a drug czar, a U.S. border czar, an urban czar, a regulatory czar, a stimulus accountability czar, etc.

It’s about Intimidation and Control.

Free World to Maximum Leader:  The U.S. President’s authorities do not include taking over, controlling & restructuring, redistributing companies’ wealth and stockholders’ property, firing non-Executive Branch people, and telepromptering companies’ product lines. 

(Not to mention the vast majority of the other things the FedGov unconstitutionally has its bureaucratic grip on.  But that’s a whole `nother story.)

We citizens can only haplessly watch, as, literally, trillions of our wealth  —and our children’s and grandchildren’s!—  is used to nationalize our country, with even more trillions(!!,!!!,!!!,!!!,!!!) to follow.

Thereby is our King pledging our earnings, our wealth, for many, many decades to come.  This makes us slaves  —literally!  Entrenching our slavery even further than it already was, to our debt holders, such as those very caring, human rights-minded Chinese Communists.

Thanks a bunch, O King!

And our “Representatives” and Senators barely peep about these deviltries.

When there’s no money or Authorities left to us citizens, when everything is somehow Controlled or Transferred to the FedGov  …then it follows that the FedGov can be the only source of sustenance to its powerless serfs.  We’re fast moving there.  To wit:

• He’s notified us that His Federal Government Super-Bureaucracy will dictate how huge “sectors” of our economy (i.e., aspects of our lives) will operate…  health care, education and energy.  Often, via the catch-all trump card, The Holy Environment.  He will do all this via legislation that will further empower His surrogate Regulators to, as is said these days, “get all up in our business” (EPA, etc., etc., etc.;  who are, apparently, the most unique humans in history:  intrinsically non-Partisan and non-ideological, their Regulations intrinsically Just).

The FedGov will thereby eventually control the vast majority of our lives, sooner or later rationing how much we eat, heat, drive, play, etc.;  telling us what to eat;  designing our cars and our children’s minds.  

For the Planet.  For the Children.  Or the Polar Bears.  Or in the name of Tolerance, Fairness or Equality or some-such excuse for gaining Control on all areas of our lives.

No more School Choice program for Milwaukee, no matter what that supposedly “local jurisdiction” wants, or whether it has determined charter schools is great for their kids!  You see, they are, effectively, the FedGov’s kids.  Not yours.  (Home schooling is also high on their hit list:  Can’t control what you can’t brainwash.)

Major Problem for any nation:  Universal control risks universal error.  (And Government Bureaucracies are so responsive to their subjects’ complaints, eh?)

Controlling/designing entire sectors of a nation’s economy (not to mention kid’s beliefs ) from a Central Bureaucracy flies in the face of a hundred years’ experience:  such inevitably leads to disaster.  And really nice, brown-shirted kids.  And afeared parents.

Bummer.

It’s about Social Engineering.

You will be assimilated.  Or fired.  Endgame.  Checkmate.  Even young fans of Star Trek get the concept.  Fun future for all!  Problem is:  The Messiah’s congregants think that He means them good.  Silly bunnies.

[See my next post, ‘Boo!’, to see what kind of things are in store for the silly bunnies.  Tricks on the kids.]
