So Congress is on the brink of passing its second
trillion-dollar giveaway of the monies of hard-working, already overburdened
American taxpayers (combined with untold hyperinflationary printing-press
funds) in a couple months - sandwiched around a similarly devastating but less
widely reported bill that - from a statistical standpoint, at least - accepts
the fact that a woman who's taken 30 years to raise a family and then takes a
part-time job as a convenience store makes less than the company's CEO after
45-plus years of post-secondary education and 16-hour workdays climbing the
corporate ladder as "evidence" of institutional "sex discrimination." It's been
quite a run.
Never mind that none of this will "stimulate" anything but
the ultra-corrupt big government programs these bills have been larded with.
Oh, and the ultra-corrupt leftwing patronage system (ACORN et al) that will feed
from the trough.
What's most frightening is to watch this
glibly mendacious president of ours blame everything on the golden goose he's
destroying. We've tried tax cuts for 8 years, he declares, and they've left us
in this mess.
The reality is the Bush tax cuts - inadequate (and
accompanied by that sort of redistributed negative tax - the EIC - that Obama
claims to love) though they were - worked just fine in stimulating the economy,
as all evidence shows. It was Bush's unprecedented spending - combined
with pre-existing overregulation such as the Barney Frank / ACORN mandate to
make millions upon millions of home loans to people who clearly couldn't pay
them (and who couldn't even pay off their houses by selling them, once the
thusly created housing bubble burst) - that did this economy in (and the recent
trillion dollar bailout that certain made it much worse).
And Obama is using this crisis as the justification for
spending that makes Bush's (which he criticized during his recent campaign) look
like chump change, plus government regulation the likes of which no free nation
has ever seen.
You'd be right if you interpreted all of this as a death
blow to the American economy. And you'd be right if you viewed this as the end
of the tiny remnant of liberty and prosperity that until recently characterized
the America our forefathers left us and replaced it with a socialistic
dictatorship.
Where you'd be wrong is if you thought the enemy within
perceived this as mission accomplished - an end in itself. If you realize we're
dealing with World Federalist Socialists here, you'd know better. The objective
here is a totalitarian one world government, with upwards of 90% of us
eliminated (this last part is far from wild-eyed conjecture; see for yourself:
http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49555).
To accomplish this in America, they must weaken our people
to the point where they can no longer resist. As Americans have a history of
being hard to beat down, we're likely talking conditions that will make North
Korea look like Shangri-La. Expect the following in just as rapid succession as
the whirlwind we've witnessed so far:
- Obama's keeping of his campaign "promise" to shut down a
coal industry that provides half our electricity; continued refusal to allow
exploitation of our 200-year supply of oil and natural gas on Alaska's north
slope, offshore and elsewhere; continued prohibition of the exploitation of the
world's greatest supplies of coal, shale, potential for dams, and other
blessings from God; forbiddance of future refineries or nuke plants; fulfillment
of his prediction that energy costs will "skyrocket" as a result,
- another cool trillion poured into Obama's "Global
Poverty Act" - a foreign aid fund for which only dictatorships need
apply,
- yet another trillion wasted on another already proposed
bailout qua takeover (and who knows how many more after that),
- unbelievable inflation from this unprecedented wave of
deficit spending,
- shutting down of our means to communicate about further
tyranny, via the Fairness Doctrine, Grassroots Lobbying Reform,,,,
- naturalization, will full voting privileges, for upwards
of 60,000,000 (how could it be 12-20,000,000, when 5,000,000 of them alone
defaulted on sub-prime loans?) leftwing-voting, America despising invaders; the
doubling of their votes via carte blanche for groups like
ACORN,
- elimination, via Card Check, of the secret ballot in
union elections; federal takeover of union negotiations via a related
ploy,
- shutting down hospitals that refuse to perform
abortions; pulling of licenses of MDs who do the same - all this and more, under
FOCA,
- shutting down of adoption agencies that refuse to put
babies in the hands of sodomite couples (as has already happened in
Massachusetts), this and much more, via repeal of DOMA,
- shutting down of Christian ministries that refuse to
stop pronouncing that Jesus is the only way to salvation - as is already the
case in Canada (under hate crimes legislation pretty much identical to
Obama's),
- a wave of Islamic terror, resulting from his open
borders policies, relaxation of safeguards, and release of prisoners, which has
already begun,
- shutting down of ministries (under ENDA) that refuse to
hire sodomites, transsexuals, and cross dressers,
- shutting down of churches refusing to house sodomite
marriages,
- confiscation - under the policies of extremist gun
grabbing Attorney General Eric Holder - most likely by Obama's heavily armed,
heavily funded domestic army of heavily brainwashed radical youth (likely
eventually the only ones to be allowed jobs or college adminissions), combined,
most likely, with foreign troops and American forces in violation of posse
comitatus, and
- food and gas riots, perhaps ICBM attacks from Iran and
elsewhere, devastating nuclear explosions in the stratosphere to shut down our
power grids and even our cars...
I predicted several years ago that - as "fringe" as ideas
like Christian Exodus's (http://christianexodus.org/) were - things were about to
get so bad that secession from the sinking ship that are these United States of
America would soon start to look like to only viable option to an ever wider
range of Americans. I later reported on progress to that state of affairs in http://elusivetruth.blogtownhall.com/2007/04/27/christian_exodus_no_longer_fringe.thtml.
In recent years, national conventions of state groups (oddly, of various
political persuasions, some - Vermont's, for example - antithetical to those of
traditionalist Americans) have begun to proliferate and even get exposure on
shows of brave mainstream talk hosts like Glenn Beck.
Now, with the impending rubberstamp passage of the Obama
spending bill, I believe the tipping point has been reached. With Jerome
Corsi's 2/6/08 WorldNetDaily article, http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=88218,
we see that this outrageous bill has awakened numerous states from their
lethargy, that they're getting serious about their Constitutional (especially
9th & 10th Amendment) rights, including the right to secede from this
voluntary union. As patriotic an America as I've always been (and I
would venture there's been none more patriotic), I consider America an
idea - one of liberty and justice - more than a territory of land.
Wherever within that territory the standards of liberty and justice prevail
(however small that area compared to the size of this once great nation),
therein lies America.
There is a movement in the southern states (so far,
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. plus "border"
states Maryland and Missouri, and, hopefully, soon West Virginia with her coal
and Oklahoma with her oil) to proclaim that region's freedom from a central
government on whose policies the region never seems to have any influence.
Patterned on the Continental Congress (whose elected members gave legitimacy to
a previous battle for independence), the Southern National Congress (SNC - http://www.southernnationalcongress.org/) is
a serious, distinctly non-race-based effort to make something happen in the very
short span of time we appear to have in which to make something
happen.
I don't agree with everything in that group's platform. I
don't agree that when you're faced with ideologies that declared all out war on
your culture centuries (communism) or millennia (Islamism) ago and have waged
all-out war on your culture ever since, there's anything "immoral" about taking
the battle to their turf. I believe most patriotic southerners would agree with
me (and I understand there's heated debate on the issue within SNC on that
point). But I will not allow that disagreement to dampen my support for a cause
with which I agree on just about every point, and which I consider so critical,
and hope others who agree with me on this particular see things the same way.
(Besides, we don't have a dog in that "foreign wars" fight at this
point.)
I saw Ann Coulter the other day on Fox. She was not her
usual happily satirical self, joyfully reducing liberal qua socialist qua
communist arguments to the absurd, as she is wont to do. No, in the face of the
swiftly advancing Obamagenda, she was somber. She opined that she didn't think
America could recover from this one. I grimly agree.
I rejoice only in that all the signs point to the approach
of the return of Jesus Christ. But we are instructed not to sit around and
depend on that, as we know not the hour of His return, and as others have been
fooled in the past. To do something - anything - is better than to sit around
and allow the tsunami to overtake us (and destroy the Great Commission we are
instructed to carry out while there's still time).
The aforementioned separatist/states rights asserting
movements are the most tantalizing option. Meanwhile, the 11th hour effort to
stave off this legislative betrayal continues. http://nostimulus.com/ is one place you can at
least try to make your voice heard.
