Well, so much for a slow news week.
Harry Reid is trying to bully and financially ruin the largest newspaper in Vegas. Apparently they don't agree with his politics.
Ted Kennedy, who spent the last 40 years trying his darnedest to turn our country into a Socialist Wonderland, is now being hailed as the greatest Senator of our time. Never mind his tattered past, what with killing a woman, and trying to undermine the country by dealing with the old Soviet Union behind everyone's back.
In fact, if he hadn't been a Kennedy, he most likely would have died in prison.
But, they will pass that insane health care deal, slapping Ted's name on it and doing it in his honor. It matters not what the country wants.
We now have forty some odd Czar's in the White House. All of them far left radicals, many of them self proclaimed communist's. All of them are pushing agenda's to completely destroy our country and rebuild it into a Socialist paradise.
California seems to be burning down to the ground. Excellent timing, since the state is bankrupt.
The media finally discovered the Bill that gives the Bamster the power to shut down the Internet. It's only been floating around DC for two months now. Suddenly they are surprised.
Our old friend Charlie Rangel is in even more tax trouble. If he isn't smart enough to know where he hid his money, he really should not be writing the tax laws.
Barney Frank now says he'll come up with a bill to audit the FED. I guess he doesn't like Ron Paul's Bill. I'm sure Barney needs to get in there and goober up the language so it will not do anything.
Speaking of the FED, Blomberg news sued under the FOI Act, to find out who and where all those trillions have been going. Of course Mr Bernake filed an appeal, stating that if the information was released, it would cause a collapse of the financial system.
So I guess if things are so precarious, that would mean they are lying to us about how the recession is over and everything is wonderful.
And Eric Holder is back on his insane quest to destroy the CIA.
A very quite week indeed.

Is this the sign of things to come?
I have noticed several things since our new Dear Leader has taken charge, and the economy has plunged further south.
One, racial tensions are higher. I as a white male, had some racial slurs tossed my way this week by a couple of thugs in a public place. Minding my own business, and they were loud and arrogant about it.
Two, crime and assaults seem to be on the rise, as do home invasions.
And third, suicides seem to be on the rise as well, although it isn't making the news.
Here is something that did make the news. And it is appalling. And this can happen to any one of us.
If you are not mad as hell after watching this, you have already lost your humanity.

The Media and the Left Remember
I'm not going to bash Mr Kennedy, But his passing has brought out everything that I, and probably most Americans, dislike about both Washington and the media.
To the folks in DC and the media, Mr Kennedy was the Liberal Lion. A fighter for the little man. A man who devoted his entire life to public service.
To me, he represents one of the major problems in Washington.
A wealthy elitist who spent 50 years as a Senator, pushing the left wing Progressive agenda. His ties with the common man were most likely limited to his driver. Every thing he pushed for was aimed at growing government in size and in controlling our lives.
He didn't hob knob with the poor folks. He pushed for wind energy, then fought the company that wanted to put windmills in sight of his home front view.
Yet, in memorial, he is now remembered as a friend to the poor, and a fighter for clean energy and the little man..
True, he has been pushing for government controlled Health Care for decades. But not for the betterment of the people, but for the government to gain control over the poor.
I could go through a long list of his quotes to illustrate my points, but again, I'm not here to bash his memory.
When they raised the minimum wage, and Mr Kennedy and Mrs Pelosi were all a giddy with how they have helped the poor everyday man, they forgot to mention something. Union wages are tied to the national minimum wage. When that goes up, so do Union wages. Ever wonder why the Unions are such liberal supporters?
Also consider the same Unions are exempt from all this Health Care reform. And they had a seat at the table writing the bill. Under this administration, the Unions have been elevated to a new type of status. It would be akin to nobility in the Old World.
Anyway, now with Mr Kennedy barely cold, Mrs Pelosi and her ilk are trying the hard sell to get their health care plan passed in honor of Mr Kennedy. I think it just shows their complete insensitivity and crassness. And if this backfires, they will move on to another tactic.
It has moved from Health cars reform, and there is no single payer plan, to Insurance reform, this is not Universal Health care, to yes there is a single payer option, and without it there is no point in passing it.
The bottom lie is, the single payer plan. While they send every operative on the offensive to state this will not lead to a government takeover, last year the same people were touting how a single payer plan would incrementally lead to a government takeover.
And that is what Mr Kennedy wanted all along.

The Real Unemployment tale
If one considers the people who would like a job but have stopped looking -- so-called discouraged workers -- and those who are working fewer hours than they want, the unemployment rate would move from the official 9.4 percent to 16 percent, said Atlanta Fed chief Dennis Lockhart.
Well, at least someone is admitting is really is worse than the 9.4% crap they are conning us with. .
But how does the government know how many people have stopped looking for a job?
Do they call every single employer and audit the applications? No.
Once your unemployment benefits expire, they decide that you are no longer looking for a job.
Crazy right? But that is how the government view things in this mess up country
Truth be told, the actual unemployment rate is over 21% right now. But the government has decided that an imaginary 300,000 new jobs are created every month, so they deduct that number from the totals. They also decide to adjust for seasonal employment, what ever that means, and they pick a number out of thin air, and deduct that from the totals as well.
Then they subtract the 500 to 800,000 folks that are now losing their unemployment each month.
And like magic, you have a manageable 9.4%.
Sounds much better on the evening news. 21% and above is Great Depression numbers, and they simply will not admit to that.
One must keep in mind that during the Depression, unemployment hit 25% for one year only. That was 1933. For the rest of the decade plus it was between 16% and 20%. And it fluctuated up and down.
So if you look at our rate now, and eliminate the funny accounting the government does to put a happy face on things, we are in big trouble. A fact that I think everyone except the government will admit.

H1N1 - Czar's And Quarantines
A little while back I speculated that all the new Czar's Team O has appointed were more nefarious then they would have you believe. My theory is that the Progressives are installing a Shadow government. While several looked at me funny when I stated my theory, I am now seeing more and more folks coming to the same conclusion.
What does that have to do with anything, you ask?
Nothing, and everything.
Kathleen Sebelius, who never let the law get in her way as governor of Kansas, is in full propaganda mode. She seems to be going out of her way to try to scare the bejeebers out of everyone about H1N1. And she is pushing mandatory vaccinations, starting with school kids.
One thing about the vaccine that they have not been mentioning. They have been running tests in Poland. Giving poor folks some cash to take the shoot, so they can see how it does. So far, there is a 10% mortality rate. That is 10 people out of 100 die from the vaccine.
I am not sure what the flu mortality rate is, but I don't think it is 10%, at least not at this point.
Which takes me to that bastion of Progressiveness, Massachusetts. This week their Senate passed Bill 2028. Which basically says, if you don't get the vaccine, you will either quarantined, and or fined up to $1000 a day.
Still you ask, what does that have to do with a shadow government?
Consider what would happen if the entire country gets quarantined for 14 days to 2 weeks. The economy would finally go over the brink. Since it most likely is anyway, a national quarantine would be the perfect excuse. Blame deflection, something the government is very good at.
Coming out of a national quarantine, everything will have imploded. Congress acts too slowly on a good term, or too quickly when it comes to stupid policy, regardless, they can not be trusted to do what the administration will see as the only choice going forward.
Enter the Czar's, which answer to no one except the President. All of them are far left Progressives hand picked for their positions. Ready to implement the Presidents policies at a moments notice.
I can envision a country with no congress as we know it. No checks and balances. The ground work has been put in place for this. The Constitution is an annoyance to them as it is, in this brave new word, it will simply be a historical document.
The Progressives are globalists. One can not forget that, despite all the rhetoric about justice for the poor. They don't care.
I see the founding of the North American Union coming out of this. Team O was just in Mexico with the other 2 amigo's discussing plans.
Mr Kennedy passed, and my thought go to his family.
But one must remember what Mr Kennedy has stated before.
Socialism hasn't worked in 6,000 years of recorded history, because I (Kennedy) was not there to run it.
That is the underlying Progressive stance.
They are smarter than you, and they know better than you. And they not only know, but will force you to live the way they know you should.
This week I met a very smart man, top of his field. And he told me what I just stated in no uncertain terms. They believe the masses to be idiots who cannot think for themselves, let alone govern themselves. They consider anyone with a different point of view to be idiots.
And they believe they can take over right in front of you. Sadly, I think they just might.
Which brings me back to a shadow government. Team O has already shut the GOP out of all decisions. He is not being partisan in his eye's. They are simply too stupid to join the discussion. It is simply the Progressive way of thinking.
What does that have to do with anything, you ask?

Castro, Holder, and Rangle
President Barack Obama is trying to make positive changes in the United States, but is being fought at every turn by right-wingers who hate him because he is black.
I don't have the slightest doubt that the racist right will do everything possible to wear him down, blocking his program to get him out of the game one way or another, at the least political cost,
No, thats not from Nancy Pelosi, but our old buddy Fidel Castro in his latest op-ed piece. Politics does make strange bedfellows, and he must be watching the news over here. He has picked up on the race issue the far left has been espousing to demonize anyone who does not agree with Team O's agenda.
Our other good friend, Rep. Charlie Rangel failed to report more than $660,000 in assets during 2007. Rangel also said he would have no further comment on the matter because of the ongoing ethics committee investigation.
I could be mistaken, but I don't think Mr Rangel has paid the back taxes he agreed to last year as of yet, when this scandal stared..
And here is something that is skipping under the radar. Attorney General made big headlines today announcing that he was indeed going after the CIA. What didn't make the news is apparently, Mr Holder was in on the decision to let the Lockerbie Bomber get his compassionate release.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2009/08/24/international/i034415D07.DTL
This would fall in line with Holders history of getting pardons for bad people, and his law firm representing the folks at Gitmo.
Mr Holder is also on the record saying he would not let the 2ed amendment get in his way when it came to disarming the American people.
In his mind, only the police and the military should have firearms.

Another Green Shoot
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Rhode Island will shut down its state government for 12 days and hopes to trim millions of dollars in funding for local governments under a plan Gov. Don Carcieri outlined Monday to balance a budget hammered by surging unemployment and plummeting tax revenue.
The shutdown will force 81 percent of the roughly 13,550-member state work force, excluding its college system, to stay home a dozen days without pay before the start of the new fiscal year in July.
The closures come as the worst recession in decades has eliminated hundreds of millions of dollars in tax collections and pushed unemployment to 12.7 percent, the second-highest jobless rate in the nation behind Michigan.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090825/D9A9IKMG1.html
The Federal Reserve must for the first time identify the companies in its emergency lending programs after losing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

The Federal Reserve - Our Old Friends
Now here is something that looks a lot like a conflict of interest to me.
Denis Hughes, president of the New York state branch of the AFL-CIO, has been named the chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. He replaces our good friend Stephen Friedman.
Now that the AFL-CIO and the government have split ownership of General Motors, and the Federal Reserve is supposed to be separate from the government, how does this all play out?
In other Federal reserve news, Our other good friend Ben Bernacke will stay the main man. Since Mr O's speech to renominate him was pre-released, for whatever reason, I will share my favorite parts.
Ben approached a financial system on the verge of collapse with calm and wisdom, with bold action and outside-the-box thinking that has helped put the brakes on our economic free-fall
Our auto industry is showing signs of life. Business investment is showing signs of stabilizing. Our housing market and credit markets have been saved from collapse
So much smoke up my dress I have never seen.
The auto industry has shown signs of life for two weeks, thanks to government, I mean tax payer subsidies to encourage everyone to buy a new car. Sadly GM and Chrysler were in the last two places as far as car sales go. Government can't even bribe anyone to buy them. Ford was the big American winner. Now that the deal is over, I would expect sales to slag back into the toilet again.
The credit markets may not have completely collapsed, but they sure aren't loaning much. In fact, the credit card folks jacked all their interest rates right before the new law went into effect. Nothing like taking your tax money to save their company, then screwing the tax payer on top of it.
And the housing market is far from being saved from collapse. The banks with the blessing of the government have created a shadow inventory to hide foreclosures and keep the banks looking solvent, and to artificially keep prices higher than they really should be right now.
I guess business investment means Goldman Sach's profit margin. Because everywhere I look, I see companies folding for lack of investment credit.
Yes, old Ben and his friends have done an outstanding job, of accounting tricks, devaluing the Dollar, manipulating the Markets, and most likely prolonging the misery and making the final collapse all the more disastrous.
Not to mention he was in on seizing a few private companies, and forcing them on TARP recipients, forcing banks to take TARP FUNDS against their will, so the government could gain a controlling interest, and picking and choosing which companies will get saved and who would die. I am sure all his friends at Goldman Sach's had nothing to do with the decisions to let their competitors crash and burn, and Goldman winds up making Billions
Seizing banks and selling their assets to JP Morgon for pennies on the Dollar.
And I almost forgot, 2 Trillion some odd Dollars he handed out and refuses to say who received it, and hiring a Lobbying Firm to kill the Audit the Fed Bill in Congress.
Yes, he gets my vote for another term. He is doing a lovely job.

PC Patrol - Government Run Amuck
The world has just gone insane. Now the thought police have taken over in Europe. Phrases and terms used everyday by everyone are now on the chopping block for their offensiveness. Some of the really bad ones that you cannot say now are:
Black day, whiter than white , gentleman’s agreement, black mark, right-hand man, ethnic minority. I
Master bedroom seems to be a problem as well. I am sure there are more of these offensive phrases to be banned shortly.
Has everyone lost their minds?
I am looking for this week to be news slow, as Team O hides on Martha's Vineyard, and Pelosi and Reid hide elsewhere, as will the rest of the Dem's. Hope against hope that come nest week we will have forgotten how they have demonized the American people over the last two weeks.
I thoroughly expect them to come out of hiding fully pretending that last week never happened and the American people are all on board with their insane schemes.
My personal favorite story of last week was how
1)The white House snitch site was not collecting Emails
2)The White House had no idea how people were getting unsolicited Emails from them
3)There was no third party involvement
4)There are no list of Emails and names
5)The snitch site suddenly shuts down
6)Apparently there was a list of names and Emails compiled
7)A third party was involved in sending the Emails
Of course my very favorite was when Spokesman Gibbs said at the very beginning of this fiasco that the White House web site has nothing to do with the White House.
Once again, the Team O is stretching the realm of legality into new uncharted territory.
Meanwhile, several more banks were quietly seized by the Fed's, one large one in TX, seized on Friday and sold on Saturday to a Spanish Bank. Something there smells.
Meanwhile we are gearing up for the soon to be mandatory vaccine blitz. In MASS they are proposing a 30 day jail sentence for not complying. Since nearly every state is being forced to release prisoners due to lack of money, this ought to work nicely. Let out the rapist and toss in Joe for not getting his shot like a good boy.
The Chinese stock market is heading down. Apparently they injected tons of money into the system to keep it afloat, and now are having to deal with the reality of that.
Same thing our government did, and is still doing.
Right now our unfunded liabilities are at 99 TRILLION Dollars, our accumulated national debt is over 11 TRILLION Dollars, and the projected deficit for the next decade of insanity is 9 TRILLION Dollars. And that will go up. Sounds like a winning game plan to me.
Of course, that is without the Obamacare plan.
Look for Cap and Trade to quietly get passed in the Senate, just like it did in the House. Odd there was again no debate on that one.
Speaking of Obamacare, the media blitz is on to tell us we all really like the Single Payer system. They compare it to the success of Medicare. Of course everyone pretty much agrees Medicare sucks. And it is also bankrupt.
So lets put everyone on it. The goal here is destroy the Private Insurance industry, and completely control the single largest private sector of what is left of our economy. They were all more than happy to tell everyone that was the plan, until they tried to ram it through congress.
But they will. Because we love it. They keep telling us we do.

Meanwhile, several more banks were quietly seized by the Fed's, one large one in TX, seized on Friday and sold on Saturday to a Spanish Bank. Something there smells.
Meanwhile we are gearing up for the soon to be mandatory vaccine blitz. In MASS they are proposing a 30 day jail sentence for not complying. Since nearly every state is being forced to release prisoners due to lack of money, this ought to work nicely. Let out the rapist and toss in Joe for not getting his shot like a good boy.
The Chinese stock market is heading down. Apparently they injected tons of money into the system to keep it afloat, and now are having to deal with the reality of that.
Same thing our government did, and is still doing.
Right now our unfunded liabilities are at 99 TRILLION Dollars, our accumulated national debt is over 11 TRILLION Dollars, and the projected deficit for the next decade of insanity is 9 TRILLION Dollars. And that will go up. Sounds like a winning game plan to me.
Of course, that is without the Obamacare plan.
Look for Cap and Trade to quietly get passed in the Senate, just like it did in the House. Odd there was again no debate on that one.
Speaking of Obamacare, the media blitz is on to tell us we all really like the Single Payer system. They compare it to the success of Medicare. Of course everyone pretty much agrees Medicare sucks. And it is also bankrupt.
So lets put everyone on it. The goal here is destroy the Private Insurance industry, and completely control the single largest private sector of what is left of our economy. They were all more than happy to tell everyone that was the plan, until they tried to ram it through congress.
But they will. Because we love it. They keep telling us we do.

Meanwhile - Back at the Swine Flu
There was a conference this past week on how to handle the coming disaster. Here is a PDF containing the events and discussions. Some very spooky stuff in there.
http://www.new-fields.com/ISFC/brochure.pdf
However, if you don't want to read, I found this entertaining video on the subject.
And just for kicks, here is an older news article.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has sent a memo to some health care providers noting procedures to be followed if the swine flu outbreak eventually makes quarantines necessary.

If you haven't started stocking up on at least one months supplies, now would be a good time.

The EU - and the hidden NAU Agenda
I think it is time to take a good look at the EU (European Union), how it was formed, and what it means to the various countries involved. There are parallels going on here, whether anyone will admit it or not. But I don't think most US citizens understand what happened in Europe, because that is being used as the blueprint for here.
I know, you say that can't happen here. Same thing they said in Europe as it was happening.
The formation ot the EU was the brainchild of one man a little over fifty years ago. I will skip all the names and details, as it get quite involved. This will be more like a Readers Digest version.
It all started with a trade agreement involving the coal and steel industries across the continent. In 1951 European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was set up. In 1957 the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community treaties were signed. In 1967 the European community was formed creating a single Commission, a single Council of Ministers, and the European Parliament.
By 1992, 15 of the European countries had signed on, and the Treaty of Maastricht laid the basis for further forms of cooperation in foreign and defense policy, in judicial and internal affairs, and in the creation of an economic and monetary union - including a common currency
In 2004, 27 countries had joined and an effort to establish an EU constitution began, This all sounds innocent enough. Just a bunch of trade agreements, and a common currency.
The CIA classifies the EU as a hybrid intergovernmental and supranational organization.
Again, from the CIA web site:
In June 2007, the European Council agreed on a clear and concise mandate for an Intergovernmental Conference to form a political agreement and put it into legal form; this agreement, known as the Reform Treaty, would have served as a constitution and was presented to the European Council in October 2007 for individual country ratification; it was rejected by Irish voters in June 2008, again stalling the ratification process
So the key here is the new term Supranational. The Eu has created it's own Constitution and laws. These laws trump the laws of the member states. They are now working on the full ratification of the Lisbon treaty.
Ireland voted this down last year, and they were told they voted wrong and did not understand what they were voting for. It is being put to them again with a blitzkrieg of propaganda. Once this passes, the EU will consolidate the various country militarily into one EU force.
The things to remember in all of this, is it started with international trade agreements, and the formation of unions. While it seemed innocuous enough, it was a well laid plan to incrementally suck Europe into this Union. The man behind it had a long range plan.
The man behind the formation of a North American Union studied this plan, and has already started implementing it. NAFTA was the first step. Simple trade agreements, nothing spooky here.
Incrementation is the key. A lot can be done if it is done slowly in plain sight.
Clinton brought us NAFTA, and President Bush signed the SPP agreement, this was just another step. As an agreement, it did not need to be taken before Congress, or the American people. It was signed on the sly. President Obama was just in Mexico for the annual conference of the SPP member states.
The man responsible for this agreement, is the same man that envisions a North American Union, and was the driving force behind NAFTA.
His name is Robert Pastor, and I suggest you look into him.
We all know, that can't happen here.

Housing recovery - or More Smoke and Mirrors
What a week. Monday the recession was over, Tuesday it was back on, and now Friday the housing market has bottomed out, again, for the forth month.
Today, after tinkering with their figures some more, they announced that existing home sales went up 7% in July. WHOO HOO, everything is looking up again!
But what is hidden in those new numbers?
First off, they didn't mention the 90,000 homes that were foreclosed on in July. That might offset that number a bit.
Next:
Sales in July rose for the fourth straight month to hit an annual rate of 5.24 million units, the highest since August 2007, the National Association of Realtors said. The total beat market expectations of a 5 million unit pace and June's 4.89 million pace.
In regular language, they hoped for 5 Million home sales by the end of July, and actually tallied 5,24 Million. Annual rate, simply means how many that have been sold up to that point in time. But calling in the annual rate makes it sound a lot more impressive.
Here is the real goody:
With distressed sales accounting for 31 percent of the transactions in July, inventories rising and home prices remaining depressed
Foreclosed homes made up 31% of the 7% gain. Depressed prices made up the rest, and these prices were already depressed this time last year..
The national median home price was $178,400 in July, down 15.1 percent from the same period last year, weighed down by distressed sales -- sales in foreclosure or close to it -- as such homes typically sell for 15 to 20 percent less than traditional homes.
So the houses that were not foreclosures that were sold, were marked down between 15 to 20%. This time last year, my former house had a depressed value of 18%, so I would think that this would mean in reality, the prices are down from 30 to 40%.
Then factor this in:
The inventory of existing homes for sale in July rose 7.3 percent to 4.09 million units from the previous month, NAR said. At July's sales pace, that represented a 9.4 months' supply, the same as in June.
So while sales went up 7.2%, there were 7.3% more houses put on the market due to foreclosed properties. To me, that looks like the market isn't breaking even.
Next, we have the shadow market. Somewhere around 1 Million homes the banks refuse to list or put on the market. It makes the books look better, and these bogus figures they put out look better.
In fact, our old friend Barny Frank now wants to take those houses, and rent them back to the former owners.
Add to that, the government put on a foreclosure moratorium, so they in effect stopped taking houses until the end of September, All in an effort to artificially hold prices higher than they should be, and keep the banks books looking profitable.
What they are passing off as a rebound in the housing market, is really nothing more then accounting tricks, and fanciful numbers created from the accounting tricks.
If you tried this with your tax return, they would arrest you.
But, this is they same way they come up with unemployment numbers. Just tinker with them enough and come up with something that doesn't sound too bad.
Add into all this the news that the deficit is now being projected at 9 Trillion over the next decade.
To put that into perspective, when Team O took office and passed the Stimulus bill, the combined national deficit since the founding of the country was 11 Trillion Dollars.
I think we are heading over a cliff. You can only fiddle with the books for so long before it all comes crashing down. The question is, how long can they keep the fraud going before it crashes.

Racism and the Left
Racism is alive and well, on the Progressive Left. And actual history shows, that is where it has always stemmed from. However in this day and age once again reality has been turned upside down to suit the Lefts agenda.
The blathering pundits on TV news were all a tizzy about a man carrying a gun at a recent Town Hall. Never mind that open carry is allowed in that state. The President is clearly in danger from these white racist carrying guns.
They forgot to mention the man is question was black. It did not fit their hysteria.
Governor Paterson, who replaced Spitzer, by all accounts has been an incompetent buffoon since taking office. Never mind that he has no clue as to running his state. He now claims racism is at the heart of the attacks on him. In particular the racist media.
Team O's friend, the Nutty Professor, screams racism at the police.
The left wing media is trying to drill it into our heads that if we do not support Obamacare, we are therefore racist.
In fact, if you do not support any of the Presidents plans, you are racist.
If you didn't vote for Obama, clearly it was because you are a racist.
I've even been told I was a racist for believing in the Constitution, because they had slaves back then.
The media was all over the story that a black man was beaten at a town hall meeting. They blamed it on the anti Obama racist Nazi's. In truth, it was 6 SEIU members, paid by Team O to be there to keep opposing viewpoints out of the meeting, who beat up a conservative black man.
But all the media will say is out of control racists beat a black man.
The left wing Democrats, in truth, were the ones who kept the civil rights suppressed in the South. Once they figured out how to play it into their favor, they switched sides, sort of.
They pass entitlements galore meant to help the downtrodden. In reality, they are purposely trying to keep them downtrodden. As they can always promise the moon, get their vote, and then blame the GOP for their ensuing woes.
Real opportunities never come forth, just an endless cycle of poverty. But they have the game down.
Looking back, any man or woman of color who has risen in the GOP has been labeled an Uncle Tom by the left. In fact, to keep their stranglehold on the Black and Latino vote, they do their best to destroy any GOP person of color. And have been very successful at it.
Clarence Thomas comes to mind. They also blocked the GOP's attempt to put a Latino in the Supreme Court. Because only the Left can do that.
Yes, there is still racism. And it all comes from the Left, their community Organizing Groups like ACORN and its affiliates. Jessie Jackson, and Al Sharpton.
They will call you a racist and shake you down. Send in their private army of professional protesters, get the media to demonize you and your company. Vandalize your property, smear your name and make your life miserable.
The media and the Left use racism to their own ends, and keep it alive. Without division, they cannot offer up their solutions. Without needing their solutions, there is no reason to vote for them.
And that is what it is all about. Getting reelected.
Personally, I have had enough of this type of fraud. As I hope any rational person would also be tired of this.

Ethics? Not in DC
There is a few things making me want to stick pencils in my eye today.
Ted Kennedy is one of them. Back when John Kerry was running for President, and Mitt Romney was governor, the governor had the legal right to choose a new Senator in the event of a vacancy. Mr Kennedy didn't want Mr Romney to be able to pick a Republican in the event Mr Kerry won the Presidency. So he petitioned the Massachusetts legislature to change the law. He got his way and now the state is required to hold a special election within 5 months of the vacant seat.
Oh course that was then, and this is now. Now there is a Democrat governor, and Mr Kennedy isn't sure he will be around for the Health Care vote. So he has now petitioned for the law to be changed back, so the governor can appoint his replacement in the event of his death.
Yeah, soak that in.
Also today, it was announced that the government is going to soon announce how they will end the Cash for Clunker plan. Oddly, it comes the day after the dealerships in NY announced they are pulling the plug themselves, because they have yet to be reimbursed by the government for all the sales so far. In fact, many dealers across the country have already pulled the plug on the plan for the same reason.
Speaking of the Senate, news today is they are planning to use the little known rule of reconciliation to ram the Obamacare bill through. They only need 51 votes to do this. And it is questionable if this Bill qualifies under the Senate rules, but hey, why worry about that now. It really is no big surprise, as Harry Reid said months ago that he would use this rule to ram it through if support for it disappeared.
Again, the arrogance is appalling, but not surprising.
Rep. Henry Waxman and Rep. Bart Stupak have sent letters to the top 52 Health Insurance companies. They want their books, so they can try to find some dirt to air publicly and get the people mad at them, much like they tried to do with the car company CEO's. It is comforting to know that when the government has decided to take over your industry, they can demand your records and books be turned over.
I fully expect them to find some non issue to blow out of proportion to make their point. We need to take over the Insurance Industry. They are going to pass the single payer / Universal Health Care plan, and they will do anything they can think of to justify it.
These are the same folks that do not want the Federal Reserve audited. Or their own books. We might find out how corrupt they really are.
On a lighter side, I read the other day that the Socialist and the Marxist Parties are offended by all the comparisons to the Administration. Even they do not want to be associated with them anymore.
Another shocker, David Axelrod still owed 2 Million for a company he founded that is, how should I say, profiting from the Obamacare legislation. Don't worry though, he is no longer involved. His brother owns the company now.
Didn't the Senate Ethics committee find Chris Dodd not guilty of getting that sweetheart deal? Go figure. Charlie Rangle still hasn't paid his back taxes. And Nancy Pelosi list her winery as worth somewhere between 5 and 35 Million. I guess it all depends on the current real estate crises.

Various News
I just seem overly ticked off these days. I'd like to think I am not alone.
You are probably asking yourself, what the heck does ACORN have to do with the new Obamacare Bill. Well I will show you:
The health care reform bill approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP) would provide federal grants to state and local governments and a “national network of community-based organizations” to "promote healthy living and reduce disparities" and to monitor people's weight, eating, exercise habits and other individual behaviors that affect health at the community level.
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/52623
Isn't that wonderful? Not only does ACORN now help the Census Department, now they get to help the health Care people too.
I personally can't wait until they come to check on my bad habits. I will politely offer them a cigarette and a shot of Jack Daniels.
Here, you can read about the Unions threatening the moderate Democrats. If they don't vote for the Single payer government plan (which the Unions are exempt from) they will turn their Union members against them:
http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2009/08/19/hoffa-blue-dogs-making-a-big-mistake-on-healthcare/
Here is a must read about the guy who wrote the government option plan. He has changed his story from before, surprisingly. Originally he proudly stated and joked that his plan was designed to destroy the private insurance agency. Now, with the fear that his plan may get shelved, he changes his story and back peddles. I think he was being honest before, and not now.
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/52716
I do love the British. And here is a great article about President Pantywaist:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/geraldwarner/100006701/president-pantywaist-in-retreat-barack-obama-hoists-the-white-flag-over-stalinist-health-care-proposals/
While I'm busy being ticked off, I'd like to mention this horrendous crime. It was committed some years back, and has been ignored by the media. Why? Because hate crimes only apply if the victims are not white. The trial has finally started, and still no media coverage.

It's Only Fair
There are three kinds of business, private, private / government, and government.
Examples of private / government would be when a private company, such as General Motors, get taken away from the private owners and becomes a mix of Union and Government. This was very popular with Stalin. There actually is a lot written by the Stalinist followers about this very subject.
The USPS, AMTRACK, DMV, Medicare are examples of government run business. Everyone has a horror story or two about these. Unlike with a private business, you have very little recourse when the government overcharges you or somehow makes your life miserable.
Then there is the dying breed, private business. This is where innovation comes from. It also is run on a consumer basis, if you the consumer isn't happy, the private business will fail. It is also market driven, if no one wants your goods or services, the private business will fail. It is also cost conscience. In private business, both your operating cost and and your product cost must be kept in line to make a profit.
Profit is a word the government doesn't like. If you make a profit, these days you are somehow evil. It is a rather new concept, but seems to be the catalyst for much of what the government is doing these days.
Profits allow you to pay your employees, pay your taxes, expand production, hire new workers, donate in your community, sponsor little league teams. Private business is good for the economy. It also creates competition.
Competition is good because the consumer has a choice of a variety of products, in various pricing ranges. You can but an I pod or a Zuni, it is your choice. Or neither if you like.
Going back to the government business, they do not operate under the profit generating business model. They operate under the subsidy model. Which means they receive tax money to keep them running.
AMTRACK is an excellent example. It has not made a dime in profit since its inception. It does receive billions in tax dollars every year to keep it operating.
The USPS doesn't run on a profit model either. They are in fact losing money on a daily basis.
Now that the UAW has partnered with the government to run GM, and Chrysler, it is hard to find out how much money in tax revenue is being floated their way. But since Unions don't work for the company to make a profit, and nothing the government runs makes a profit, I imagine they are getting a good share of tax money.
Which brings me to health care, again. There are a lot of things the government could do to improve the system and reduce costs. However none of that is being addressed in the 1,000 plus page Bill. Because the goal is to drive out private business and have the government run the whole system.
Now, lets go a step farther.
The FDIC is bankrupt. They are the government agency that takes over failing banks, and guarantees your deposit safety. They estimate another 500 banks will fail in the next three months.
Since the original bailout plan started, the idea was the banks would start loaning money to small business to keep them afloat. In fact the opposite has occurred, and small business has been forced to lay off workers to try to stay open.
Many have closed altogether. A lot of big companies have closed. You would think the folks in DC would be talking about jobs a little bit. Instead they are touting how good things look since only 500,000 jobs were lost last month. That is down from 700,000, so things are looking up.
That is how government views the world. If it is better than the worst case scenario, then it is a success.
This brings me back to cash for clunkers. I said this was stupid since day one. Why, because the government isn't profit driven. A timely manner for them is years, not days, to get things done. The Car dealerships use their own money to buy the cars on their lot. And now, they are having trouble getting the government to reimburse them for this plan.
This means the dealers now are cash short, for operating cost, payroll, and new inventory. That means if you work for one and managed to survive up to this point, you might be facing a layoff now, thanks to the government fix.
The government however, sees this as not only a success, but a sign the recession is over.
The government does not operate by the same rules the private sector must abide by. In fact, once they get involved in an industry, they tend to tilt the regulations to favor themselves and kill competition.
This is exactly what the public option is designed to do. Tax payer supported, designed to undercut the private industry. New taxes imposed to coerce business to use their plan.
So far, nothing since last October has been done to help the economy or save jobs. Everything has been done to reward political allies, and crush competition. Once they thoroughly destroy private business, there is the matter of where will they collect their taxes from?
I firmly believe this madness is meant to take the USA and bring it down to a third world standard of living. The Progressives blame us for all the evils of the world, and since they can't figure out how to raise anyone else's living standard, they are content with wrecking ours.
It is only fair after all.

Three Card Monty
Here we are, all the way into Tuesday, and not only is the single payer plan back, now they are no longer trying to hide it, and are calling it the single payer plan. Wasn't way back, Monday when I said it would be back?
Meanwhile, news has come out that the Canadian and British single payer systems are imploding. In fact, both countries are now considering some sort of private insurance system to save them. Of course you won't see that on most TV news.
Congress is now openly stating they will vote for this debacle against their constituents wishes, because they know better. But that is to be expected these days.
What really has chapped my hide is the new Progressive campaign against America. They have now created the none sense that if you call Team O a socialist, what you really are doing is calling him a N#$%^^.
So I guess I will have to refer to him from this point on as a Progressive Communistic Marxist. Nothing at all racial involved. If it walks like a duck.......
I won't even go into the nuts and bolts on how bad this Bill is going to be for the country. I will say that it is completely Unconstitutional.
Nowhere does the Constitution give the Federal Government the power to create a single payer public health system. In fact, they are only supposed to have the power to do what is spelled out in the Constitution.
Of course the Constitution has been overlooked a lot lately. And to the Progressives, is means nothing. What counts is complete and total power over America. And look at what a fine job they have done since taking over.
Make no mistake, the single payer plan is nothing more than a government wealth redistribution plan. And that is why it will pass. Same as Cap and Trade, it will pass as well.
Add these to the tax increases coming, and I think its safe to say unemployment will be at 50% if not more. Small business account for 70% of American jobs. And when the math is done, 90% of small business will close with all these new taxes placed on them.
The Great uniter has divided the country more than ever.
The administration started with a war on Wall Street, and the Banks. Now they have declared war on the American people themselves with the language used to describe us. And they do not care. They do not care that unemployment is still rising at over half a million folks a month. They don't care that 90,000 homes were foreclosed on in July. They simply want complete power over us at any and all cost.
One of my favorite statements from Team O is 14,000 people lose their health insurance everyday. Why doesn't he follow that with the statement that those 14,000 people also lost their job, which is why they lost coverage.
Three Card Monty. No matter how you look at it, we lose.
Regional Unemployment
Find your town. The number to the right is open jobs to unemployed folks. Notice how DC is the only town with more open jobs than job seekers.

FISHY Dot GOV
Is it just me?
Or does Team O not care about the law until they get caught, then toss the blame somewhere like we don't see what is going on?
Way back last week Team O started their Fishy Email link. You remember, if you get an Email about Obamacare that looks like it is fishy, send it to the White House site, so they can set the record straight. How they were going to do that was kind of iffy.
I was planning on sending the congressional web site to them, because everything looks fishy there.
I went to some lefty forums on the Internet, and saw people bragging about how they turned in this person or that person to the White House. Spooky stuff, very much reminiscent to the way the Nazi's got folks to turn each other in.
By the middle of the week, even the ACLU made a public statement that said they thought this had crossed the line. That in itself is like a flare going up that something nefarious was happening.
Towards the end of last week, Major Garret from Fox News asked every one's favorite Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, about the fact that suddenly people were getting Emails from the White House that they never signed up for.
Mr Gibb's mumbled and looked irritated, and then dismissed the questions and moved on. For the next three days Mr Garret seemed to have hit a brick wall trying to get an answer. He even got permission from some of the Email recipients to give their Email address to Mr Gibbs so he could check it against their list.
List? They said they weren't compiling a list from that sight. Blunder number one. So they were compiling a list from the Emails turned in to them from the Fishy Information site.
Through Sunday, Mr Garret could not get Mr Gibbs to respond and check his list against the Emails. But today is a whole new week. And things change quickly in Washington, especially when you are trying to cover your self.
Today the White House announced that the Emails sent from the White House were really sent from un-named third party groups. Today the Fishy turn in your friends and family web site has been disabled.
Something just does not look right here. Now why would they shut down their site, once questions are being asked. Unless they are doing what we all feared they are doing.
And it doesn't look right to the ACLU either. This must be the first time I agree with them in 20 years.
No matter how you slice it, the White House seems to have been collecting Emails of dissidents, and using that list. That is against the law.
And now the Government finger pointing and blame deflection has started. Something they seem to do a lot of.
Somebody tell them they are not in Chicago anymore.

What Is Really Going on With Our Tax Dollars
This will take some time, but it is well worth it. You'll have a good understanding of what is going on. And it will make you want to stick pencils in your eye!
He is angry, and so am I.
He is angry, and so am I.
Obamacare - Three Card Monty
This isn't the main subject, but I didn't want to forget it so here goes. As we all should know, the White House took the Census Department and gave it to Rahm Emanuel to run.
Then they hired ACORN and it's subsidiaries to do the footwork. As we should know, the main point of the Census is to draw up congressional lines, and decide how many rep's a state has, and how much Federal Funding they will receive..
Then they quietly announced that this year they will be counting illegal aliens. And today I find this:
The U.S. Census Bureau has told Utah's elected leaders it won't count Mormon missionaries serving overseas in the nation's next head count.
Utah says the omission cost the state an extra congressional seat in 2000, when Utah fell just 857 people short of receiving the last available slot in the U.S. House.
Yes, our government will award congressional seats for the amount of illegals you have, but will not count Americans who happen to be working abroad. That should make you want to stick a pencil in your eye. Isn't Utah mostly Conservative? I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.
But lets move on to the main topic.
Lets talk Obamacare. Today's big headline:
President Barack Obama's administration signaled on Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run health insurance as part of his ambitious healthcare proposal.
Really? The article right next to it says this:
I think there will be a competitor to private insurers," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Sunday. "That's really the essential part."
As we all should know, the government option is the reason they invented the health care crisis in the first place. And right up to a few months ago, they were glad to tell you that their plan is designed to eliminate private insurance. This has been a plan in the works for over 40 years, and they see this as their best opportunity.
Then, you have Arlen Specter, who faced a lot of angry constituents this past week. He now says this:
Sen. Arlen Specter says critics of the Democrats' healthcare proposals are not representative of the public's view on the issue.
The Pennsylvania Democrat says people who are angry at town hall meetings don't reflect the broader public opinion of the proposed overhaul. Specter has faced tough town hall audiences in his home state.
There is overwhelming evidence that many of the pro O care folks at the meetings were Democratic plants. One even pretending to be a doctor, to seem more credible.
It looks pretty obvious to me that the single payer plan is alive and well. The democrats are blowing off the American people, and all the polls that show we do not want this. Not to mention the congressional Email that has been overloaded all week from angry Americans.
But hey, they know best.
As Kathleen Sebelius says, it is the essential part of their plan. Unless you listen to her interview, where she said it isn't essential. Which is it? Two different same day interviews, two very different opinions.
I would venture to guess that Team O will put a little distance between himself and the plan, and when it gets passed in congress, it will have the single payer plan buried in there in a last minute amendment that will not be read, on the day of the vote.
They may call it a co-op, I call it Three Card Monty.

Ronald Reagan and Solcialized Health Care
You would think that President Reagan wouldn't have anything to add to the current debate. But he does. And if you listen to his talk from 1961, you'll understand the current plan is just the next logical step from Medicare's inception.
Pandemic as Excuse For Martial Law
I was looking for something happy to talk about today. The best I could find was Bob Dillon getting busted for looking eccentric, and the young policewoman had no idea who is was, or is. So much for happy.
There is a lot of shadowy things going on across the country right now, and it looks like my earlier speculation that a H1N1 national quarantine is at the very least, being prepared for by the government.
The DOD and DHS are planning troop placements. The DOD is trying to gain control of 400,000 National Guard Reserves.
A lot of other odd things happening as well, but this one here really stands out
.
U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, at his recent Town Hall in GA, just may have let the cat out of the bag. After voicing his disdain for Obama care, he also spoke out about some other things he is ticked off about with this administration.
He also spoke of a socialistic elite, Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid - who might use a pandemic disease or natural disaster as an excuse to declare martial law. They're trying to develop an environment where they can take over. We've seen that historically.
WHAT?
Might use a pandemic disease or natural disaster as an excuse to declare martial law?
That is what I said when H1N1 broke out in Mexico, and no reporter from any news agency went down to cover the story. That whole thing smelled fishy.
So either this congressman is as kooky as I am, or he knows something. There have been several secret congress meetings over the last year. Which in itself is suspicious. You can't trust them when Cspan is watching, let alone when they have the camera's off.
Whichever it is, no one in the media is covering Rep, Broun's remarks. Which is to be expected.
Speaking of fishy, I think everyone should send the Email address of every member of congress to the White House web site. After all, they spread more fishy information than anyone I can think of.
And speaking of fishy, I was taken aback that the ACLU is standing up to the White House on the collecting Email subject. It clearly violates the law, and the Constitution, but I just never thought the ACLU would do anything adverse to Team O. I thought they were on the same side, and would endorse this new practice.
And speaking of Town Halls in general, I am really enjoying how regular Americans actually take the time to read the House Bill posted on line, and then quizzing their representatives, who tell them what they are quoting is not in the bill.
Like I said, send your representatives Email to the White House. They are spreading fishy information.

And speaking of Town Halls in general, I am really enjoying how regular Americans actually take the time to read the House Bill posted on line, and then quizzing their representatives, who tell them what they are quoting is not in the bill.
Like I said, send your representatives Email to the White House. They are spreading fishy information.

TARP and the SPLC
Remember the reason for TARP? It was to buy the banks toxic assets. Almost one year later, not one toxic asset has been bought with that fund.
They bought a couple car companies, gave money to Hedge fund companies and credit card companies that declared themselves banks to get some cash. It seems they have done everything except what the fund was intended for.
Toxic Loans Topping 5% May Push 150 Banks to Point of No Return
“These numbers are off the charts,” said Blake Howells, an analyst at Becker Capital Management in Portland, Oregon, referring to the nonperforming loan levels at companies he follows. Banks are losing the “ability to try and earn their way through the cycle,
It would seem that only the banks that have close ties to the Federal Reserve got a financial infusion. Lets take JP Morgon Chase for instance. Back in 1913, Mr Morgon was one of the founders of the Federal Reserve.
Looks suspicious to me. So expect a lot of bank closures this fall.
But here is what I really want to talk about today.
From ABC news today: Fear for Obama's Safety Grows as Hate Groups Thrive on Racial Backlash
"I don't think these are simply people who are mentally ill or off their rocker," Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, told ABC News of those behind the threats. "In a very real sense they represent a genuine reaction, a genuine backlash against Obama."
Remember yesterday, when we discovered that the DHS report was largely written using the Southern Poverty Law Center's web site? Now the SPLC is using that report to enhance their claims. And again, in this article, the EXPERTS who track these things is the SPLC, who again is not mentioned.
It seems that there is an active campaign to inject racism into the country, to try to divide and conquer. The media is fueling this none sense.
The article sights 4 seperate incidents around the country, of four nut jobs to back up their claims.
It's certainly a scary time, said former FBI agent Brad Garrett, now an ABC News consultant. Garrett said the Secret Service "cannot afford to pass on anyone, and he believes they really do fear that something could happen to [Obama].
I thought the Secret Service always took all treats seriously.
And blame the right:
Garrett said statements like one recently made by controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh comparing a logo for the White House plan to a Nazi symbol legitimizes people who are on the edge to go do something or say something.
And then bury the truth in the article:
Los Angeles police officers apprehended a man Thursday after a standoff with him inside a red Volkswagen Bug car in Westwood, CA – the latest disturbing case even though officials said the man had mental problems.
The Left up to it's usual antics. Just now they control everything.

New FCC Plan
Something else ticking me off today. I read about this last night, and could not believe my eyes.
FCC’s Chief Diversity Officer Wants Private Broadcasters to Pay a Sum Equal to Their Total Operating Costs to Fund Public Broadcasting.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Mark Lloyd, newly appointed Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission, has called for making private broadcasting companies pay licensing fees equal to their total operating costs to allow public broadcasting outlets to spend the same on their operations as the private companies do.
Go here for the full sicking article:
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/52435
This looks to me like another attempt to silence free speech on radio. If you double the operating cost of a station, they will go out of business. Team O has been looking for ways to regulate talk radio off the air, and this looks like their new plan.
Read the article and decided for yourself.

Sunshine and Lollipops in the Land of Denial
The newest term to describe folks that want to speak their mind at Town Halls is: Evil-mongers. This comes courtesy of Harry Reid.
In a government that has truly lost it's collective mind, it seems that DHS just basically trolled some questionable web sites to come up with their everyone who doesn't like Obama is a possible domestic terrorist. The Southern Poverty Law Center was one of the web sites used in making the report. And now, the SPLC is using the report to back up their far left kooky outlook. And then, DHS takes that to mean Militia groups are on the rise. See the pattern here. BS exponentially grows, and DHS is making policy on pure BS.
Militia groups with gripes against the government are regrouping across the country and could grow rapidly, according to an organization that tracks such trends. Notice they don't mention the tracking organization is the Southern Poverty Law Center's web site.
But that isn't what I want to point out today. Remember all the way back to Monday? Monday the recession was over, unemployment was down, and housing and retail sales were up. Here we are all the way into Thursday.
The Commerce Department said Thursday that retail sales fell 0.1 percent last month. Economists had expected a gain of 0.7 percent.
The Labor Department said initial claims increased to a seasonally adjusted 558,000, from 554,000 the previous week. Analysts expected new claims to drop to 545,000 .
Didn't they say last week only 200,000 filed for unemployment? 558,000 looks a lot like the horrible numbers from 6 months ago. And those folks from 6 months ago are now out of unemployment benefits, and no longer being counted as unemployed.
Banks repossessed more than 87,000 homes in July, up from about 79,000 homes a month earlier. The number of U.S. households on the verge of losing their homes rose 7 percent from June to July.
Wait, they said just yesterday the housing market had turned around.
Ah, but here is some cheery news: The federal deficit climbed higher into record territory in July, hitting $1.27 trillion with two months remaining in the budget year.
I remember when I was a kid, at least people thought they could trust what the government told them.
Now they just blatantly ignore the facts and tell you the world is full of lollipops and sunshine. Don't look at the real numbers, just believe the crap we make up on the spot, that gets repeated on all the news shows to make you feel good.
Never mind that Detroit has no grocery stores anymore, and they need armed guards to deliver to the mom and pop operations.
And the White House, they weren't going to use the Email addresses that got turned in for FISHY information, now were they. At least they said they would not on Monday. Well, OK, they lied, they are sending every one that was turned in official Emails now.
The country is a mess, despite what they tell us. There is no such thing as a jobless recovery. It is just something the government made up to pacify us.

Who really Runs The Country?
There is a noticeable anger brewing across America. There is also fear in the eye's of the people that we are losing our country. And in confronting the elected officials, there seems to be genuine surprise at the animosity tossed at them by the rank and file constituents. The elected officials in DC are for the most part, so removed from the lives of their constituents, they had no idea that so many people have been growing upset with how they do things, and what they are doing.
The Democrats, who for decades have relied on professional groups like ACORN to get out the “grassroots” activists, and have made disruption of events a way of life, are screaming foul. In their mind the Republicans must be doing the same thing. They still do not understand the anger is real, and the folks if organized at all, have organized themselves.
So they call the folks names. Nazi's, Brown Shirts, Racist, Unamerican, anything to marginalize the opposition. What they do not seem to comprehend is the anger at DC is real, and is not going away. The Health Care takeover is just the tipping point for many Americans.
Most of what they do in DC goes unnoticed, and takes a while to effect the regular folks. But this has been brewing for a while. The anger started with the TARP bailouts, that 90% of Americans were against.
Then the Stimulus, which 90% of Americans were against. Cap and Trade, Health Care, taking over the auto companies and the banks. Wiping out regular folks retirement plans, while demonizing them as “Greedy Hedge Fund Wall Streeters”. America has had enough. It only adds fuel to the fire when you contact your representative about a specific concern you have, and they reply with a short note basically telling you they know what is best, but thanks for your input. I have received several of these over the years.
And I haven't said anything you don't already know, but here is something you might not fully comprehend.
I read an article yesterday that really hit the point home on how we lost our country decades ago. It was written by one of the co owners of the Above Top Secret web site. He had gone too DC with some other independent web owners to represent their concerns in regard to upcoming legislation concerning the Internet.
They were assigned a Lobbyist, and proceeded on their schedule. By the end of his visit he made the observation that the lobbyist's control DC. He asked a lobbyist about it, and was told it had been like that for decades. The people have no say.
Here is the link to the article. It is very concise and well written, and I think it is a must read:
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread490790/pg1
I tell you this, not because you don't know it in the back of your mind, but we still like to think our voice matters. It does not.
Which brings me back to the town halls, and the genuine surprise at the anger of the people. They only deal with lobbyist's. Their staff handles the Email and letters and phone calls. They really have no clue. This is probably the first time that regular folks have felt inclined to go to town halls and voice their opinions in decades, if not longer. And the congresspeople just were not expecting it.
And since they have been sheltered from the building anger, they feel it cannot be the regular folks behind it. It simply must be the GOP organizing it.
I read a quote where someone made the observation that the GOP could not organize a bake sale right now, and I think that is pretty close to the truth.
The media, which outside of FOX, is just a probama cheerleader, doesn't help. Anyone in DC watching any news outlets would believe all is well with the little man.
Back to Health Care. Have you noticed that what they call it has changed several times over the last month. Now it is health insurance reform. And have you also noticed that the regular folks asking questions seem to have read the House Bill posted online, but their representatives have not. They just give the official talking point answers.
And they wonder why folks are upset.
Slowly, America is waking up, and they want their country back. The question now is, is it too far gone to save, or must we start over.
There are a lot of rumors floating around now that there will be bank holidays in September. There are rumors that the police and the military are getting ready for a major outbreak of civil unrest. While there have been rumors of martial law being imposed since Bush took office in 2000, it is now coming from rational and sane people.
Everyone seems to understand the official unemployment numbers do not reflect true unemployment. The debt incurred this year alone is unmanageable, and the green shoot theory is just more DC none sense trying to ease the fears of the people. Folks are seeing through the veil of disinformation and see how bad things really are.
One only has to go back to when the government acknowledged the recession. For two years they said everything was wonderful. Then in December of 2008, they suddenly rechecked their numbers, and admitted we had been in a recession for one full year. Now they say oop's, it was more like two years.
Six months ago 600 to 700,000 folks applied for unemployment every month. Now those folks are all running out of benefits and being kicked off the rolls. They will no longer be counted as unemployed, and they will have zero income. This has already started. Although everyone quotes different numbers on any given day, it seems that between 500 and 800,,000 just lost benefits during July.
The banks have been keeping new foreclosures off the books since January. And there is about to be another monthly wave as folks lose their benefits. Commercial real estate is about to implode.
The government was all a tizzy with happiness as they touted last months lower unemployment numbers. In actuality, after you take out their formulas, I have seen estimates that reflect 500 to 800,000 actually lost jobs. I have also read economist's stating the lower numbers are a result of companies are now operating on a skeleton crew, and will simply fold up if they let anyone else go.
I think both are true.
The anger and fear in America is real. The question now is, will the folks in DC recognize this and act accordingly, or will they go back and pass their agenda anyway. If they do the former, there is still hope for the country. If they do the latter, there will be some very bad and scary times ahead indeed.

When Chase Took Over
I have been trying to find any of this is the old news reports, but so far I have not been able to. However, the information I received came through an long standing employee with impeccable creditials.
This goes back to President Bush, Hank Paulson, and the original TARP bailouts. Little Tim Guetner and Mr Bernake were there as well.
We need to go back to September of 2008, back when we still had a semi free economic system. Hard to remember that now.
Back in September 2008, Washington Mutual was collapsing, and was triggered by a wave of deposit withdrawals. The Federal Government stepped in and seized Washington Mutual. And this stinks just like the Bank of America scandal. If you remember, B of A was forced to buy a company after they found their debt was billion more than reported. B of A stock took a nose dive, wiping out many private investors. And there have been congressional hearings on it since, where Paulson admitted to forcing the deal.
Well, apparently, after the Government seized Washington Mutual, they gave it to J. P. Morgon Chase for 1.9 Billion Dollars for WaMu's banking operations and will assumed the loan portfolio of the thrift, which has $307 billion in assets. Holders of more than $30 billion in debt and preferred stock got stuck holding the bag.
Well, and apparently they were not the only ones.
When Chase took over WaMu, they inherited there employees. Many of them long term, and what the news and media never reported, when the government gave WaMu to Chase, they wiped out all the WaMu employees retirement plans as part of the deal.
That is right, 20 year plus employees suddenly had no retirement thanks to the US government.
There is currently a lawsuit from the employees who are trying to recoup their retirement. Though I don't give it great odds at success.
As in all these government takeovers and bailouts, the folks loose everything. GM sand Chrysler stockholders got screwed, Bank of America stock holders got screwed.
I can only imagine this same scenario has quietly been playing out behind the scenes in all these takeovers. I only wonder why the media has not reported on any of it at all.
Well, I know, it makes the government look like it doesn't care about the people.

Now we are Racist
It was just a matter of time, we are angry mobs, we are AstroTurfs, we are Nazis', and now we are racist.
Anything to diminish and demonize the opposition of a socialist takeover.
Anything to diminish and demonize the opposition of a socialist takeover.
ASTROTURFING - The New Buzz Word
Until this past year I had never heard the term Astroturf, except to describe various football fields.
But it has a political definition, artificial grass roots. And it is being lobbed at anyone who shows up at town halls meeting to ask questions or voice opposite opinions of the administration.
AstroTurf is when groups are hired and paid to go and protest, by larger groups with a stake in the outcome.
An excellent example of AstroTurf groups would be last years Presidential election. ACORN, their hundreds of affiliates, the AFL-CIO, the SEIU, and many other Unions, all participated in the phony grass roots support of Team O.
Now the American people are being accused of this by the Democratic leadership. Along with being called Nazi's.
An organization called Health Care For America Now has launched it's own AstroTurf campaign against the American people who truly want their voices heard at town hall meetings.
http://healthcareforamericanow.org/site/fight
The have a full instruction sheet on how to stop regular Americans from voicing their concerns. Including this passage I find highly disturbing:
Another way to limit protesters’ ability to hijack your event is to confiscate signs or leaflets that they may bring into the venue from outside. The best way to do this is to make a blanket rule that no one can bring signs or leaflets and to advertise this fact as you do turn out in the weeks preceding the event. You can distribute your own signs in the event and offer them one as they enter if you choose to allow them to enter
So there is no doubt on who is behind this group, from the About Us page:
Our organization and principles are supported by President Obama, Vice President Biden, and more than 190 Members of Congress.
And:
Our Steering Committee includes: ACORN, AFL-CIO, AFSCME, AFT, Americans United for Change, Campaign for America’s Future, Center for American Progress Action Fund, Campaign for Community Change, Children’s Defense Fund Action Council, Communications Workers of America, International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace & Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW), MoveOn.org, NAACP, National Council of La Raza, National Education Association, National Women’s Law Center, SEIU, UFCW, USAction, Women's Voices, Women's Vote and Working America.
It is no wonder that suddenly ACORN members were filmed monitoring the door at one event, and only allowing fellow ACORN members inside, while keeping the local constituents out. At another event SEUI members are seen in a video ruffing up a poor guy outside.
From the blog section of their site:
The lobbyist-funded right wing is getting violent. There have been death threats. Physical assaults. Arrests. And now more threats of violence:
Based on the news that health care events are edging into violence, an anti-health care reform protester in New Mexico named Scott Oskay is calling on his hundreds of online followers to bring firearms to town halls, and to 'badly hurt' SEIU and ACORN counter protesters.
This is not the way to have a debate about health care reform. Yelling, screaming, Nazi imagery, and violence are not how we solve our problems here in America.
There they go calling us Nazi's again. I tried to link to their source to see the call to arms, but only got a non existent Twitter page. So I have no idea if this threat was real, or just something to rally the masses around.
But I did find the Nazi connection. At one event in which Pelosi attended in Denver, a 16 year boy was wearing a t-shirt, which had a picture of Obama and the slogan Hitler gave good speeches, too.
There you go, we are all Nazi's.
Now, since the AFL-CIO, ACORN, and the SEIU have all stepped up to keep the town halls from being taken over by constituents, things sadly might turn violent at these meetings.
Many of these meetings have already been canceled.
Rep. Brad Miller did receive a death threat. But also conceded he had no planned town hall meetings scheduled anyway. And the caller called from his home phone, and their caller ID got the number and it was turned over to the police.
The web site also states their have been physical assaults. But following their link takes you to a Roll Call article, and I found no mention of any assualts, Under the link they state:
No word yet on who it is. Will update when I know more.
That was 4 days ago, so use your best judgment.
They also claim ARRESTS...........but when you follow that link to the actual story, it was the 6 SEIU members who assaulted and hospitalized a man passing out Don't Tread On Me leaflets who were arrested.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/07/health-care-town-hall-turns-violent-tampa/
I think the democrats are fanning the fire. And sending in ACORN and the Union thugs to keep folks out will only make it worse. What is really disturbing is this all seems to have been signed off on by the Obama administration. Chicago politics on a national scale.
I don't know if they are really so arrogant they think they can fool everyone with these thug tactics, or if they are really trying to pick a fight. Time will tell. But clearly it is meant to intimidate and close the entire discussion. They do not want our opinion. They are marginalizing us now, like they have for the Tea Party movement.
But it has a political definition, artificial grass roots. And it is being lobbed at anyone who shows up at town halls meeting to ask questions or voice opposite opinions of the administration.
AstroTurf is when groups are hired and paid to go and protest, by larger groups with a stake in the outcome.
An excellent example of AstroTurf groups would be last years Presidential election. ACORN, their hundreds of affiliates, the AFL-CIO, the SEIU, and many other Unions, all participated in the phony grass roots support of Team O.
Now the American people are being accused of this by the Democratic leadership. Along with being called Nazi's.
An organization called Health Care For America Now has launched it's own AstroTurf campaign against the American people who truly want their voices heard at town hall meetings.
http://healthcareforamericanow.org/site/fight
The have a full instruction sheet on how to stop regular Americans from voicing their concerns. Including this passage I find highly disturbing:
Another way to limit protesters’ ability to hijack your event is to confiscate signs or leaflets that they may bring into the venue from outside. The best way to do this is to make a blanket rule that no one can bring signs or leaflets and to advertise this fact as you do turn out in the weeks preceding the event. You can distribute your own signs in the event and offer them one as they enter if you choose to allow them to enter
So there is no doubt on who is behind this group, from the About Us page:
Our organization and principles are supported by President Obama, Vice President Biden, and more than 190 Members of Congress.
And:
Our Steering Committee includes: ACORN, AFL-CIO, AFSCME, AFT, Americans United for Change, Campaign for America’s Future, Center for American Progress Action Fund, Campaign for Community Change, Children’s Defense Fund Action Council, Communications Workers of America, International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace & Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW), MoveOn.org, NAACP, National Council of La Raza, National Education Association, National Women’s Law Center, SEIU, UFCW, USAction, Women's Voices, Women's Vote and Working America.
It is no wonder that suddenly ACORN members were filmed monitoring the door at one event, and only allowing fellow ACORN members inside, while keeping the local constituents out. At another event SEUI members are seen in a video ruffing up a poor guy outside.
From the blog section of their site:
The lobbyist-funded right wing is getting violent. There have been death threats. Physical assaults. Arrests. And now more threats of violence:
Based on the news that health care events are edging into violence, an anti-health care reform protester in New Mexico named Scott Oskay is calling on his hundreds of online followers to bring firearms to town halls, and to 'badly hurt' SEIU and ACORN counter protesters.
This is not the way to have a debate about health care reform. Yelling, screaming, Nazi imagery, and violence are not how we solve our problems here in America.
There they go calling us Nazi's again. I tried to link to their source to see the call to arms, but only got a non existent Twitter page. So I have no idea if this threat was real, or just something to rally the masses around.
But I did find the Nazi connection. At one event in which Pelosi attended in Denver, a 16 year boy was wearing a t-shirt, which had a picture of Obama and the slogan Hitler gave good speeches, too.
There you go, we are all Nazi's.
Now, since the AFL-CIO, ACORN, and the SEIU have all stepped up to keep the town halls from being taken over by constituents, things sadly might turn violent at these meetings.
Many of these meetings have already been canceled.
Rep. Brad Miller did receive a death threat. But also conceded he had no planned town hall meetings scheduled anyway. And the caller called from his home phone, and their caller ID got the number and it was turned over to the police.

Extreme Ring Wing Fringe - Funny Unemployment Numbers
According to the DNC, average values of average Americans are now considered the Extreme Right Wing Fringe. We are the enemy. And so is anyone that speaks out against their attempt to completely control the country.
In an attempt to silence this extreme fringe, congressional town hall meetings are now being packed with friendly Union members, before the doors are opened to the public. Oddly, these Union members are exempt from Obamacare, as is congress. In fact the SEIU helped write the bill.
You have Nancy Pelosi stating that the trouble makers are wearing swastika's. I don't know where she gets her information, as I have not seen one swastika one anyone at any of the numerous video's of town halls.
Barbra Boxer says the trouble makers are the Brooks Brothers Mob, run by the GOP. I guess she hasn't watched the video's either, as I haven't seen anyone wearing pinstriped suits.
Others from the DNC are simply calling the average folks Nazi's, and Brown Shirts. And the White House wants you to turn in your family and friends who either pass along or write anything against the Health Care take over.
Demonize the opposition. Make things up if you have to.
There is a plan, a formula so to speak, on how to seize control of a Nation. And it has been followed many times before, and it is being followed now.
First the banks must be controlled. Next major industry must be controlled. Then you start taking away the people's freedoms for their own good. Enter Cap and Trade and the Single Payer Government Option Plan.
Then you make the populace afraid to speak out, and encourage the good people to turn in their friends, family, and neighbors if they spread any misinformation about the new policies or leadership. Certain groups of people gets singled out as the enemy of the country, one group at a time.
Public ridicule begins of Radio and TV personalities that speak out against the Regime. Soon they are gone, and the airwaves are censored for content.
Once the people are afraid to dare to speak up, a confiscation of firearms follows. It is for the good of the people.
From here on, you have forced labor camps filled with political dissidents. People simply disappear in the night. And they are never spoken of, for fear you might be next.
Last year I never thought this possible. But it would seem the plan is being followed to a tee, once again.
The Progressives have control of the government, and the country. If you were to read their propaganda, a Socialist Society, where the Government has complete control, is their agenda.
This week the White House made a rather threatening remark aimed at Rush Limbaugh. He's on thin ice. I see the end of free speech on the horizon.
Many older people have been afraid to voice their opinions for months. It is easy to intimidate and scare the elderly. They are the ones who will be directly and adversely effected by Obamacare. And now they are being shut of of the discussion. Actually, everyone is being shut out.
Obama again blamed Bush for everything he deems wrong with the country, and yesterday stated he doesn't want any of those people (meaning Republicans) to say anything about his plans. He is here to clean up their mess.
They have shut out the Republican Congresspeople for all discussions on any of the Bills. Nancy Pelosi gave a standing order for the Democrats to not even talk to the GOP members about it. They do not need their votes to ram this agenda through.
I saw a Tee shirt yesterday. An official DNC shirt, with the phrase Ask me about Single Payer Insurance written on it. If that isn't the goal, why are they putting those out for their proponents to wear?
Something is very wrong with the way things are being done.
When the people fear their government, you have tyranny. When the government fears the people, you have liberty: Thomas Jefferson.
They average American is now fearing their government.
What a surprise it was to find that Unemployment went down 1% last month. I find that hard to believe, until you consider how they come up with that number.
Thursday I read over 500,000 jobs had been lost last month. Friday that number shrunk to 200,000. That would be the Government Birth / Death index, where they arbitrarily decide that 300,000 new jobs were created.
Also, they only count you as unemployed if you are collecting unemployment. Last week 800,000 folks had their benefits expire, and are no longer counted as unemployed. So that takes 1 Million 1 Hundred Thousand people off the books
Once you take them out, and then adjust for seasonally variations, a formula I can't find, you wind up with 9.4%. If you were to actually account for everyone, it would be sitting just north of 21% unemployed.
I watched an economist defend their 9.4% number yesterday. Stating it wasn't funny math. Their argument was week and not very convincing.
But, this new number is all the proof Team O needs to state the economy has turned around. But since federal income tax revenues were down by 21% last month, I would suspect that is a fairly close indication of true unemployment.

Truth or Obamacare
I'll let them speak for themselves.
They are just helping us understand the fringe that is trying to mess up our meetings: Harry Reid.
Protesters are carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare : Nancy Pelosi
The plan for August is to have a discussion, to listen carefully to what people are saying: Nancy Pelosi
If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard: Jim Messena
There is unprecedented insurance reforms, things that have never been done. In our committee, we had to vote, and 10 Republicans voted against all those insurance reforms — every single one of them. Not many people know that but if I have anything to do with it, they will know it: Bob Casey
The Democrat health care plan would not lead to a single-payer system, instead a plan including a so-called public option would preserve people's choice to keep their private health insurance: Nancy Pelosi
David Axelrod and Jim Messena told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out.
Harry Reid accused the protesters of trying to sabotage the democratic process .
These are nothing more than destructive efforts to interrupt a debate that we should have, and are having, They are doing this because they don't have any better ideas. They have no interest in letting the negotiators, even though few in number, negotiate. It's really simple: they're taking their cues from talk show hosts, Internet rumor-mongerers ... and insurance rackets: Harry Reid
Instead of appearing in person, where extremists would have the chance to shout and make YouTube videos, Baird said Wednesday, he's holding what he calls telephone town halls instead. Baird said he's using the new system because he fears his political opponents may be planning an ambush to disrupt his meetings, using methods Baird compared to Nazism.
What we're seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics, I mean that very seriously: Brian Baird
I expect to be held responsible. But I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't do a lot of talking. They have selective memory. When I walked in we had a $1.3 trillion deficit. That was gift-wrapped and waiting for me when I walked into the Oval Office.: B.H Obama
The White House web site has nothing to do with the White House: Robert Gibbs
I find it ironic that the government that has taken over the banks and industry, and wants you to now turn in your family and friends, calls the American people Nazi's.
Did anyone notice the unemployment number officially released today suddenly dropped by 200,000 or so since yesterday?
And they can't even tell the truth about the Cash for Clunkers program sales.
http://money.cnn.com/2009/08/07/autos/cash_for_clunkers_sales/index.htm?cnn=yes
Yes, anyone who disagrees is a right wing fringe Nazi. Welcome to the change we can believe in.
One must note, that a government option is the back door to a single payer Nationalized system. Obama, Reid, Frank, and all the rest of the knuckleheads have said so. Though they all deny it now, they still say it to their left wing fringe constituents.
And they call us Nazi's.

The Thought Police
Well, I have a few issues today, Since they are inter related I guess I'll start with my favorite racist Congressperson.
According to her, well and all the Democrats and the White House, anyone who objects to Nationalized Health Care is just a GOP paid stooge. You folks are not real people, protesting what you actually believe, like ACORN does.
No, you are an unruly mob, unleashed by the special interest groups to give the President a black eye. Because despite what the polls say, Americans want this plan!
When they say this is just like during the election, I can't figure out what they mean. Which election? Are they referring to the two Black Panthers that were arrested for voter intimidation? Oh wait, they were official DNC poll watchers. Must be why Mr O had all the charges dropped.
Then there were those crazy people that went to AIG employee's homes to protest their bonus pay. Oh, no, that was organized by ACORN. You know, outside of the DNC and it'd affiliates I can't think of a single GOP sponsored protest.
So basically the government has now declared war on us, the average citizen. I guess they are running out of business's to destroy and take over.
Never mind that what folks are saying is directly quoted from the posted House Bill, or even video's of all these folks saying how they will turn the US Health Care into a Nationalized system. Because according to the White House, it is all misinformation.
Yes, you cannot trust the American people, they are the biggest liars around. How can the regular folks dress nicely to go to those town hall meetings? Heck, we all know the regular folks wouldn't go anyway. So they must be paid operatives for the evil GOP.
Which brings me to the next thing that has me scared.
The White House now wants you to turn in your friends and family, if they send or forward you an Email with this horrible disinformation in it. Or, turn me in for writing about it. The official term is FISHY. If it looks FISHY, turn it over to the White House.
There have been a few other governments over the years that required you to turn in your friends and family if they said something that went against the government position.
A few that come to mind are Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini.
The thought police have arrived.
On a side note, I heard today that the White House has asked congress to cancel any up coming town halls they have scheduled. It isn't they are afraid to answer any questions, because they are all screened anyway. But they do not want any more video's popping up showing how pissed off the American people are at the government. They see this as damage control, as they are planning on ramming this through no matter what. So they will keep it out of the news, and keep calling us all kooks.
Because the community organizer in chief knows better than you do, what is good for you.
I wonder what will happen to the folks that get turned in?
I wonder if I can turn in the White House web site, and Congress for spreading FISHY information.
According to her, well and all the Democrats and the White House, anyone who objects to Nationalized Health Care is just a GOP paid stooge. You folks are not real people, protesting what you actually believe, like ACORN does.

A Shadow Government?
It is good to see everyone giving their congresspeople what for. It is also not unexpected that most media and the White House call this some GOP sponsored plan. And some other names. Dick Durbin defied all reason when he said the American people are all in favor of Obamacare today. The polls clearly show they do not.
But the truth never got in the way of politics. What does matter is they are once again defaming the American people who are freely expressing their views.
I read today that many of the local town hall meetings are being run just like the Presidents. All questions are screened, .and only the ones they like are being asked. No wonder the people are frustrated.
But that isn't what I want to talk about. I want to talk about all those crazy Czar's.
I think we are up to 44 of them now, and they are all extreme kooks of the first order. And so last night I started to wonder just what might be the reason for all these Czar's?
I have a theory, and you might think it as kooky as the Czar's are, but here we go.
Just suppose the economy is going to crash and burn, and the dollar is worthless. I know, that is a big leap there, but bare with me. If the end result, or goal, is a North American Union, just how does congress fit into that?
I don't think they do. The constitution would be meaningless, and I think congress would be as well.
But you need a system in place for that event, or else you'd lose control of the country.
I believe, enter the Czar's. I think these folks are being put into place now, to take the place of congress after the crash.
It is a shadow government being implemented in plain sight, to take command after the economic crash.
It is really the only thing that makes sense. Call me loony tunes, and I have no proof, just a bad feeling in my gut.. And I hope I am wrong. But think about it for a little bit, and you tell me what the possible reason for these guys might be?
In other news, in is good to see they sent Bill in to get the girls out of North Korea. No one knows what we gave up, but at least they didn't let Jimmy Carter go.
A shadow government of kooks being installed into the government to assume control on the NAU implementation. That would be January 1, 2010.
Something to ponder.
