Obama's extreme economic ignorance

 On October 4 Obama issued this Twitter message:

“I’ll use the money we’re no longer spending on war to pay down our debt and put more people back to work.”

 Note to Obama: The federal government has been running deficits for decades. The “money we’re no longer spending” was borrowed money. Ending the wars does not make that money available for paying down the debt, because the money itself was debt! Ending the wars results in reduced deficits. It does not provide a surplus that can be used. (Obama himself has stated many times that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were “paid on a credit card.”)

 The economic illiteracy of Obama’s statement is stunning. If a teenager borrows $50 from his parents to pay his September cell phone bill and then reduces his October usage to $40, which he also borrows, the teenager does not “have” an extra $10 to give his parents to pay the $50 he owes for September. He simply owes $90 ($50 plus $40) rather than $100.

 The federal deficit for 2012 is about $1.2 trillion. If ending the war in Afghanistan were, for example, to reduce spending by $100 billion in 2013, the deficit would be reduced to $1.1 trillion. But there is no additional $100 billion to spend on anything! The government still has to borrow $1.1 trillion. Obama cannot “use” that $100 billion to “pay down our debt” or “put more people back to work,” just as the teenager cannot “use” that $10 to pay back his parents or spend on something else.

 Vote the idiot out of the White House before he can do any more damage, and let Big Bird pay his own phone bill.

‘Red Flags’ All Around--But The Media Won’t Tell

Saturday, October 6, 2012

"Just happened..."
 
As I noted in the introduction to my book, The Obama Timeline, a jury at a murder trial will often find the accumulated circumstantial evidence so overwhelming that a guilty verdict is obvious—even though there may be no witness to the crime. “The jurors in the Scott Peterson trial believed the collection of evidence more than they believed Scott Peterson. Among other things, the jury thought that being arrested with $15,000 in cash, recently-dyed hair, a newly-grown goatee, four cell phones, camping equipment, a map to a new girlfriend’s house, a gun, and his brother’s drivers license certainly did not paint a picture of a grieving husband who had nothing to do with his pregnant wife’s disappearance and murder.”


In the four years I have been gathering information about—and evidence against—Barack Hussein Obama, I have encountered hundreds of coincidences that strike me as amazing. None of those coincidences, by themselves, may mean much. But taken as a whole it is almost impossible to believe they were all the result of chance. Consider the Obama-related coincidences:
 Obama just happened to know 60s far-left radical revolutionary William Ayers, whose father just happened to be Thomas Ayers, who just happened to be a close friend of Obama’s communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, who just happened to work at the communist-sympathizing Chicago Defender with Vernon Jarrett, who just happened to later become the father-in-law of Iranian-born leftist Valerie Jarrett, who Obama just happened to choose as his closest White House advisor, and who just happened to have been CEO of Habitat Company, which just happened to manage public housing in Chicago, which just happened to get millions of dollars from the Illinois state legislature, and which just happened not to properly maintain the housing—which eventually just happened to require demolition.
 Valerie Jarrett also just happened to work for the city of Chicago, and just happened to hire Michelle LaVaughan Robinson (later Obama), who just happened to have worked at the Sidley Austin law firm, where former fugitive from the FBI Bernardine Dohrn also just happened to work, and where Barack Obama just happened to get a summer job. Jarrett also just happened to follow Obama as a member of the board of the Joyce Foundation, where she served with Michael Brewer, who just happens to be married to Janet Brown, who just happens to be executive director of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which just happened to select four leftist members of the mainstream media to moderate the 2012 presidential and vice-presidential debates.
 Bernardine Dohrn just happened to be married to William Ayers, with whom she just happened to have hid from the FBI at a San Francisco marina, along with Donald Warden, who just happened to change his name to Khalid al-Mansour, and Warden/al-Mansour just happened to be a mentor of Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and a close associate of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and al-Mansour just happened to be financial adviser to a Saudi Prince, who just happened to donate cash to Harvard, for which Obama just happened to get a critical letter of recommendation from Percy Sutton, who just happened to have been the attorney for Malcolm X, who just happened to know Kenyan politician Tom Mboya, who just happened to be a close friend of Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., who just happened to meet Malcolm X when he traveled to Kenya.
 Obama, Sr. just happened to have his education at the University of Hawaii paid for by the Laubach Literacy Institute, which just happened to have been supported by Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, who just happened to be a friend of Malcolm X, who just happened to have been associated with the nation of Islam, which was later headed by Louis Farrakhan, who just happens to live very close to Obama’s Chicago mansion, which also just happens to be located very close to the residence of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who just happen to have been occasional baby-sitters for Malia and Natasha Obama, whose parents just happen not to mind exposing their daughters to bomb-making communists.
 After attending Occidental College and Columbia University, where he just happened to have foreign Muslim roommates, Obama moved to Chicago to work for the Industrial Areas Foundation, an organization that just happened to have been founded by Marxist and radical agitator Saul “the Red” Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, who just happened to be the topic of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s thesis at Wellesley College, and Obama’s $25,000 salary at IAF just happened to be funded by a grant from the Woods Fund, which was founded by the Woods family, whose Sahara Coal company just happened to provide coal to Commonwealth Edison, whose CEO just happened to be Thomas Ayers, whose son William Ayers just happened to serve on the board of the Woods Fund, along with Obama.
 Obama also worked on voter registration drives in Chicago in the 1980s and just happened to work with leftist political groups like the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Socialist International (SI), through which Obama met Carl Davidson, who just happened to travel to Cuba during the Vietnam War to sabotage the U.S. war effort, and who just happened to be a former member of the SDS and a member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, which just happened to sponsor a 2002 anti-war rally at which Obama spoke, and which just happened to have been organized by Marilyn Katz, a former SDS activist and later public relations consultant who just happened to be a long-time friend of Obama’s political hatchet man, David Axelrod.
 Obama joined Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC), whose pastor was Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a fiery orator who just happened to preach Marxism and Black Liberation Theology and who delivered anti-white, anti-Jew, and anti-American sermons, which Obama just happened never to hear because he just happened to miss church only on the days when Wright was at his “most enthusiastic,” and Obama just happened never to notice that Oprah Winfrey left the church because it was too radical, and just happened never to notice that the church gave the vile anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award.
 Although no one had ever heard of him at the time, Obama just happened to receive an impossible-to-believe $125,000 advance to write a book about race relations, which he just happened to fail to write while using the cash to vacation in Bali with his wife Michelle, and despite his record of non-writing he just happened to receive a second advance, for $40,000, from another publisher, and he eventually completed a manuscript called Dreams From My Father, which just happened to strongly reflect the writing style of William Ayers, who just happened to trample on an American flag for the cover photograph of the popular Chicago magazine, which Obama just happened never to see even though it appeared on newsstands throughout the city.
 Obama was hired by the law firm Miner, Banhill and Galland, which just happened to specialize in negotiating state government contracts to develop low-income housing, and which just happened to deal with now-imprisoned Tony Rezko and his firm Rezar, and with slum lord Valerie Jarrett, and the law firm’s Judson Miner just happened to have been a classmate of Bernardine Dohrn, wife of William Ayers.
 In 1994 Obama represented ACORN and another plaintiff in a lawsuit against Citibank for denying mortgages to blacks (Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Federal Savings Bank), and the lawsuit just happened to result in banks being blackmailed into approving subprime loans for poor credit risks, a trend which just happened to spread nationwide, and which just happened to lead to the collapse of the housing bubble, which just happened to help Obama defeat John McCain in the 2008 presidential election.
 In 1996 Obama ran for the Illinois State Senate and joined the “New Party,” which just happened to promote Marxism, and Obama was supported by Dr. Quentin Yong, a socialist who just happened to support a government takeover of the health care system.
 In late 1999 Obama purportedly engaged in homosexual activities and cocaine-snorting in the back of a limousine with a man named Larry Sinclair, who claims he was contacted in late 2007 by Donald Young, who just happened to be the gay choir director of Obama’s Chicago church and who shared information with Sinclair about Obama, and Young just happened to be murdered on December 23, 2007, just weeks after Larry Bland, another gay member of the church, just happened to be murdered, and both murders just happened to have never been solved. In 2008 Sinclair held a press conference to discuss his claims, and just happened to be arrested immediately after the event, based on a warrant issued by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, who just happens to be the son of Joe Biden.
 In 2003 Obama and his wife attended a dinner in honor of Rashid Khalidi, who just happened to be a former PLO operative, harsh critic of Israel, and advocate of Palestinian rights, and who Obama claims he does not know, even though the Obamas just happened to have dined more than once at the home of Khalidi and his wife, Mona, and just happened to have used them as occasional baby-sitters. Obama reportedly praised Khalidi at the decidedly anti-Semitic event, which William Ayers just happened to also attend, and the event Obama pretends he never attended was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network, to which Obama just happened to have funneled cash while serving on the board of the Woods Fund with William Ayers, and one speaker at the dinner remarked that if Palestinians cannot secure a return of their land, Israel “will never see a day of peace,” and entertainment at the dinner included a Muslim children’s dance whose performances just happened to include simulated beheadings with fake swords, and stomping on American, Israeli, and British flags, and Obama allegedly told the audience that “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” and there has been “genocide against the Palestinian people by (the) Israelis,” and the Los Angeles Times has a videotape of the event but just happens to refuse to make it public.
 In the 2004 Illinois Democrat primary race for the U.S. Senate, front-runner Blair Hull just happened to be forced out of the race after David Axelrod just happened to manage to get Hull’s sealed divorce records unsealed, which just happened to enable Obama to win the primary, so he could face popular Republican Jack Ryan, whose sealed child custody records from his divorce just happened to become unsealed, forcing Ryan to withdraw from the race, which just happened to enable the unqualified Obama to waltz into the U.S. Senate, where, after a mere 143 days of work, he just happened to decide he was qualified to run for President of the United States.
 Obama just happened to save $300,000 on the purchase of a $1.65 million Chicago mansion for which he deposited only $1,000 in earnest money, while the seller’s adjacent empty lot which was appraised at no more than $500,000 just happened to be sold at the inflated price of $625,000 to Rita Rezko, who just happened to earn only $37,000 per year working for Cook County government, and who just happened to be married to Tony Rezko, who just happened to be Obama’s main money man for his political campaigns, and who only days before the Obama mansion purchase just happened to obtain a $3.5 million loan from wealthy Iraqi Nadhmi Auchi, who just happened to have been kicked out of Iraq, and who just happened to have been convicted of corruption charges in France, and who just happened to ask Rezko to ask then-U.S. Senator Obama to help him obtain a visa to travel to the United States.
 Rita Rezko just happened to borrow the money for the $625,000 empty lot from the Mutual Bank of Harvey, which just happened to be run by Tony Rezko’s pal Amrish Mahajan, whose wife Anita just happened to have been charged with fraudulently receiving $2 million in Illinois taxpayer dollars for drug tests never performed by her company, K. K. Bio-Science, which just happened to have a no-bid contract with the state, and whose computers just happened to disappear right before investigators arrived to take them away for evidence.
 Obama just happened to obtain a $1.32 million mortgage for his mansion even though the payments of $8,000 per month (plus at least $1,500 per month in property taxes) exceeded 50 percent of his $162,100 U.S Senate salary income, and even though Michelle Obama was claiming that she and her husband were still paying off substantial student loans and were struggling to pay for piano lessons for their daughters, one of whom just happens to look remarkably like one of the daughters of Malcolm X.
 Obama just happened to obtain his mansion mortgage from Northern Trust Bank, whose Board of Directors just happened to include Susan Crown, who just happened to be part of the wealthy Crown family, which just happened to donate to Obama’s campaigns, and which just happened to have ownership in defense contractor General Dynamics Corporation, and the Crown family just happened to sit on the board of energy company Exelon, formerly known as Commonwealth Edison, which just happened to have had Thomas Ayers as its CEO, and the Crown family also owned the Maytag appliance company, which just happened to move its operations to Mexico, after its employees just happened to donate to Obama’s campaign, after he just happened to pledge that he would keep their jobs in Galesburg, Illinois.
 In June 2005, just months after Obama became a U.S. Senator, Michelle Obama just happened to be named a “non-executive director” of the board of TreeHouse Foods, a supplier of Wal-Mart, for a salary of $51,200 in 2005 and $101,083 in 2006, and she just happened to be given 7,500 TreeHouse stock options, worth approximately $72,375, even though she just happened to know nothing about the private sector or running a business.
 In 2006 Obama pushed for a $1 million earmark for the University of Chicago, and his wife Michelle just happened to be promoted to Vice-President of Community and External Affairs for the hospitals with a salary increase from $121,900 to $316,962, and she just happened to receive public relations help from Obama’s political strategist David Axelrod, whose mother just happened to write for a communist newspaper.
 In 2006 Sarah P. Herlihy, an associate of the Chicago law firm of Kirkland and Ellis, whose employees later contributed $87,722 to Obama’s presidential campaign, and whose partner Bruce I. Ettleson just happened to be a member of Obama’s campaign finance committee, just happened to write a paper calling for the elimination of the “natural born citizen” requirement in the U.S. Constitution.
 Obama just happened to visit Kenya in 2006 to support his cousin, Raila Odinga, a Muslim socialist candidate for president, who just happened to have ties to both al-Qaeda and Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi, and who just happened to have been educated in communist East Germany, and who just happened to name his son Fidel, and who just happened to plan on establishing Shari’ah Muslim law in Kenya, and whose activities prompted the Kenyan government to lodge an official protest of Obama’s passport abuse and misconduct, and Obama’s actions just happened to have been denounced by the U.S. State Department as being in direct opposition to U. S. National Security, and after Odinga, for whom Obama just happened to have raised $950,000, lost the election, his Muslim followers just happened to burn Christian women and children alive in a church where they had sought refuge.
 In 2006 Obama endorsed Alexi Giannoulias in his race for Illinois State Treasurer and stated that he is “…one of the most outstanding young men I could ever hope to meet”—even though Giannoulias just happened to be only 29 years old and even though his family’s Broadway Bank just happened to finance Chicago crime figures like Michael “Jaws” Giorango, a Chicago thug with convictions for bookmaking and promoting prostitution, and even though virtually all of Chicago’s Democrat politicians were keeping their distance from Giannoulias, whose reputation was so questionable he even failed to get the endorsement of the Chicago Democrat Party—which just happens to almost never be concerned about questionable reputations.
 Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, once worked for the Ford Foundation’s Asia program, which just happened to be run by Peter Geithner, who just happened to be the father of Timothy Geithner, who just happened to neglect to pay Social Security taxes on much of his income, which just happened to somehow qualify him to be Obama’s Treasury Secretary.
 During the 2008 campaign Obama’s passport records just happened to have been illegally searched by an employee of a firm headed by John O. Brennan, and Lt. Quarles Harris, Jr., who was cooperating with federal investigators in connection with the incident, just happened to be found with a bullet in his head, and the murder just happened never to be solved, and Obama later just happened to make Brennan his terrorism and intelligence advisor.
 On election night in 2008 in Chicago’s Grant Park, Obama just happened to wear a black suit and a red tie, and his older daughter just happened to wear a red dress, and his younger daughter just happened to wear a stark black dress, and his wife Michelle just happened to wear an arguably unattractive black dress that appeared to have a giant red X design, which just happened to prompt some to wonder if their clothing just happened to denote black power, communism, and Malcolm X, and at the very least prompted others to wonder why anyone would have his daughter wear a jet-black dress for a celebratory occasion—or where one could even just happen to find a store that sells black dresses for little girls.
 From election night forward there are hundreds of other “just happeneds,” not the least of which is the long-form birth certificate released by Obama in April 2011 which just happened to consist of multiple image layers, including various objects which can be separated and rotated with computer software—which just happens to be impossible if a birth certificate is merely scanned and not computer-constructed by a forger.
 Oh, and Obama just happened to have used more than one Social Security number over the years, and one of them is associated with 713 Hart Senate Office Building and starts with the digits 282, which signifies issuance in Ohio, a state in which Obama just happened to have never lived or worked, and another Social Security number used by Obama starts with 042, which signifies Connecticut, another state in which Obama just happened to have never lived or worked, and it just happened that no one in the mainstream media has ever bothered to ask Obama why he has used multiple Social Security numbers or why the 042 number comes up as invalid in the E-Verify system used by employers to confirm whether immigrant job applicants have valid numbers.
 I could go on… but you get the idea.

Can Dual Citizens Run For President - Let's Take A Look

There is a "Responsibility" to be a defensive driver, but not a "right" for a 13 year old to drive or run for President.

If you have a choice of dual citizenship at birth, you don't have a 'right' to run for President.

The very subtle argument to place "responsibility" of the voters in charge of who to elect is used in the following comment and its worth looking at because we all must know that we are a nation of laws and the Constitution is the Supreme Law.

Anonymous Comment:
[So long as the child is born in the USA, she or he would be eligible. What that means is simply: (1) American citizens have the RIGHT to vote for the US-born child of a dictator, just as they have a right to vote for every US-born citizen. That right has not been taken away. (2) It is the RESPONSIBILITY, of the US voter to vote against that child of a dictator if the voter feels that the child of that dictator will be like the dictator (or, if not, then to vote the other way). NO court has taken away that RESPONSIBILITY, and having responsibilities is a good thing. People who desire to take away the responsibilities of Americans want to treat them like children. That is what conservatives say that liberals want to do, but in this case the conservatives are acting like liberals, desiring to take away a right and a responsibility.]

Now of course we must consider the right of the people to know and understand the Candidate's past. That past has come to be shaped by the Media. We all know Barack Obama's past was never remotely delved into by the mainstream media, and we also know that Obama himself didn't write his own auto- Dreams of my Fathers.

A clear manipulation of the voters information comes clear from who owns and runs the media. Obama's forged long form birth certificate and draft registration by law enforcement investigators (ie Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Cold Case Posse) didn't take place until 2011. This was a full 3 years into the 1st term.

The Constitution contains the term "natural born" for a US president. This term was used to prevent anyone with the possibility of having a foreign allegiance from becoming commander-in-chief of US forces, for obvious reasons (super fifth column, anyone?) A person with dual citizenship owes allegiance to both the US and the foreign government. They are required to obey the laws of both countries, which of course for a sitting US President would be disastrous to the US nation.

The term "natural born" is used to mean a singular allegiance to one and only one nation. Dual citizenship contradicts this.

(Note that it is unique that the US president is also the commander-in-chief, which entrusts the office of president with great power, so a concern of allegiance was on the minds of the framers of the Constitution. Senators and Representatives can be naturalized; the President cannot, because of the Commander-In-Chief power.)

All NATURALIZED citizens have to take an oath of ALLEGIANCE, to confirm they only have allegiance to the US and no other country. But this is not enough to fully repudiate possible allegiances to other countries.

So "allegiance" is the key here -- at the time of the writing of the US Constitution, "natural born" was a term carefully chosen to define that allegiance - it means having a singular allegiance that derives from one's having been born of the soil of the nation - in this case, the US nation. This results in a kind of "super-allegiance".
That is what the framers meant, and Constitutional lawyers have always recognized this to be the meaning.

So according to the Constitution, which explicitly and unambiguously uses with the term "natural born" when referring to qualifications for someone to be the US president, no, a US president cannot have dual citizenship. They must have that singular allegiance that can only be derived from having been born of US soil - "born here" to Citizen parents, simply because one can take the foreign parents citizenship at birth, that right always exist.

Loyalty to first generations citizens does not abdicate the "responsibility" to follow the Constitution, as we are a Nation of laws.

Again the Article II,Sect I, Clause 5 itself is the law and abrogates a "Citizen" can run if they were such at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, thus the "natural born citizenship" was given an exemption.

"Citizens" of the 14th Amendment source, dual citizens, and or 'native' citizens - anchor babies were not given that exemption.

This is the Supreme Law of the Land, and there is a method of changing it, but it doesn't exist through the Judicial Branch. It remains in the Legislative Branch.

DC Court just Sept 28th,2012 ruled that the 'natural born citizen' clause was not trumped by the 14th or 5th Amendment.

Governor Romney, please ask Obama these questions during the foreign policy debate
 
Governor Romney:


In the upcoming foreign policy debate I expect the moderator to ask Mr. Obama softball questions he can answer with well-rehearsed talking points. If the moderator does not ask pressing questions, perhaps you can challenge your opponent. Here are some suggested questions:


There were 13 threats and two attacks against the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in the six months leading up to the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Why, Mr. Obama, did you not increase security there?


According to a State Department whistleblower, security at the consulate was actually reduced in the six months prior to the September 11 attack. Why, Mr. Obama?


Why, Mr. Obama, did you believe a handful of Libyan nationals would be sufficient to protect the lives of Americans working at the consulate in Benghazi, a city that had become arguably more dangerous after the overthrow of Moammar Gaddafi than it had been in the past?


In your eagerness to overthrow the Gaddafi regime, you supplied the Libyan rebels with weapons. Did you even know the identities of those rebels? How did you know you were not supplying al-Qaeda with weapons? Can you assure the American people that none of those weapons were used in the attack against the U.S. consulate? How can we be certain that the four Americans were not killed with American weaponry?


Mr. Obama, tell us again why it was in the interests of the United States to intervene in Libya’s internal affairs? Is the loss of four Americans and the loss of confidential security documents in the nation’s best interests?


One year ago, Mr. Obama, you said we did not have to worry about the radical Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt because it had little power. The Muslim Brotherhood has since won the elections, installed a president, now controls the country, and is threatening to tear apart Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel. Tell us again, Mr. Obama, why you thought it was a good idea to oust President Mubarak, an ally of the United States.


Mr. Obama, while you talk frequently about improving U.S. relations with the Muslim world, radical Islamists are persecuting and killing Christians in Egypt, Nigeria. Sudan, and elsewhere. You have neither condemned those actions nor done anything to stop them. Why not?


Mr. Obama, how could you possibly have demanded that Israel return to its pre-1967 “Auschwitz borders” as a pre-condition for negotiations with the Palestinians? Do you not understand that those borders are utterly indefensible? Why do you demand concessions from Israel, but not from the Palestinians?


Mr. Obama, why have you treated the Israeli prime minister with such disdain and contempt? Why did you make rude comments about him to French president Sarkozy?


Mr. Obama, why did you select anti-Semitics like Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and Hillary Clinton for important positions in your administration that deal with foreign policy and Israel?


Mr. Obama, why does your administration refuse to defend Jerusalem as Israel’s permanent capitol? Why does your State Department say it is subject to negotiations?


Mr. Obama, you claim you have imposed “tough sanctions” on Iran, yet agreed to waivers to allow Russia and China to bypass those sanctions. What good then are the sanctions?


What did you mean, Mr. Obama, when you told the Russian president you would be “more flexible” after the election? More flexible about what? What secrets are you keeping from the American people?


Mr. Obama, what was your role in Operation Fast and Furious? If you had no role, why did you claim executive privilege to withhold White House documents? If you have nothing to hide, why are you hiding it?


What was Attorney General Eric Holder’s role in Operation Fast and Furious? Why has he not been fired for incompetence? Why have you not apologized to the Mexican people for an ill-advised scheme that resulted in the murder of several hundred Mexican citizens? If the buck does not stop with Mr. Holder and with you, where does it stop? Why has no one been disciplined or fired because of Operation Fast and Furious?


Mr. Obama, you once said, ‘I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.’ Do you still believe that the United States is no more exceptional than any other nation on earth? I believe the United States is the greatest nation in the history of mankind. Can you tell me why I am wrong?


I would be very grateful, Governor Romney, if you can force Mr. Obama to address some of the above issues. In fact, America’s future may depend on it.


Thank you,



Don Fredrick

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms

by Gunnery Sergeant John McClain, USMC, Retired

Every day, the primary news produced to be watched or read, is mostly lies, half truths, mixed in with bits of truth that fit nowhere, because they don’t match the rhetoric which news has become.  To actually know what takes place in our Nation requires careful scrutiny and long hours.  To know what takes place in the world, takes all that and an ouija board on top, given the corruption which defines our government.

Even with all the other things which have taken place this day, the most notable story I read today, was the take-over of a “quickie mart” by a mob of Blacks.  They entered the store in Detroit, told the clerk they owned it, and when he protested, they beat him severely.

When the police arrived, the mob disbursed, the police said they could do nothing about it, and within two minutes, left.  The mob moved back in, and left again when the police arrived, a game of tag for all intents and purposes.  The police had only this advice to give to the owner; “hire a security guard”.  Aren’t these the same force which has Special Weapons and Tactics Squads?

From 2007, the left, democrats, socialists, outright communists, and progressives, have done their very best to foment racism and having been highly successful, they have substantially altered the tenor and tone from one where most Americans thought we were putting racism behind us at last, slowly, to the point today, which racism is more rampant than at any time in my life since I returned to the States in 1963.

Obviously, we can’t expect any part of government to deal with this issue at all, and if it is not corrected, we will have anarchy and a civil war on our hands very shortly.  Most of us consider government as its “three estates”.  We think the Congress as representing us, the executive branch is where we expect our law be executed by, and we expect our judiciary to mete out justice with an even hand.

None of these things are taking place within the law, and we have never been further from “the rule of law” since our founders realized they would get no relief by asking, and rose in rebellion.  We don’t normally consider “the fourth estate” of government; “The People”, because we long ago gave our consent to be governed, and rightfully expect our governing to be according to the rule of law, our constitution and our National Creed, the Declaration of Independence.

At times when the government won’t do its job, we have a moral obligation to look at this intransigence, realize we can’t trust those who will not follow orders, and our only moral choice is to withdraw our consent to be governed; openly, unequivocally, just as our forefathers did, and form up our militias to take back our Nation, and take full custody of those criminals who have refused to do their duty.

When a mob acts as so many have done in the past six months in Detroit and many other cities, it is no longer just the right of the owner to “keep and bear arms”, it is by our founding principles, his full citizens duty to do so.  It is not the right of neighbors to stand shoulder to shoulder with him under arms; it is “Our Duty” to do so.

We have had our government go to great lengths to vilify Militias as evil,  with destructive intents but there is indeed a “domestic enemy” government should be focused on, it is to be found among Blacks, primarily gangs, in the cities, as evidenced by their crimes and statistics.  None the less, it will be easy to call this a “hate statement” because so few are ready to tell the truth, we have a criminal president of the nature of Stalin, and he has worked hard to get our Nation to this point.

If that were my store, or if any such thing would happen anywhere close to my home, the owner would get a phone call, then a personal visit from me.  I would be offering to make arrangements for establishing a militia, and providing for the full defense of his store, and any others, establishing our own phone links, and “flying squads”, no less than I did as a Marine.

The sole reason our natural right to keep and bear arms was enumerated was the certainty of so many that  not enumerating our first and most fundamental rights would ensure there would be arguments over whether there were any “unalienable rights” citizens have at all.

The entire purpose of the second amendment was the certainty people would always be in danger by others willing to kill them to take what is theirs. The founders further extrapolated, stating during the ratification process, “All the terrible instruments of war are the Natural Birth Right of the American citizen”, as stated by Thomas Jefferson, and echoed by Hamilton, directing his remarks toward a government out of hand.  George Washington stated arms are second only to the Constitution for our independence, calling them our “people’s liberty teeth”.

The government will not do its duty and no words can suggest otherwise.  When we have taken great care to establish government with careful deliberation, giving all the powers it needs to accomplish what we have set as its duty, and it refuses to fulfill its duties, “We, The People” are criminally remiss if we fail to secure our Free State, with our “liberty teeth”, the militia. In doing so, we are equally remiss if after we have secured ourselves, we don’t remove the government which failed, replacing it as per our constitution.

The People can commit treason just as those in government can, and we can do so by remiss. Sovereignty does not merely provide authority, but includes responsibility as well.  If we are not willing to be the law, we have no right to claim sovereignty.
