Has Obama’s third term already begun?

Politics, Social commentary / March 7, 2017

Mr. Daniel Greenfield thinks so.

From Frontpage mag

After Trump secured the nomination, Obama’s people filed a wiretapping request. As he was on the verge of winning, they did it again. After he won, they are doing everything they can to bring him down. It was always going to come down to this.

One is the elected President of the United States. The other is the Anti-President who commands a vast network that encompasses the organizers of OFA, the official infrastructure of the DNC and Obama Anonymous, a shadow government of loyalists embedded in key positions across the government.

In the Soviet Union of 1922 the post of General Secretary  of the Communist party was considered a mundane bureaucratic entity. All the flashy revolutionaries, Trotsky, Bukharin, Zinoviev, and Kamenev thought the post was beneath them so they gave it to one Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili .  The General Secretary post was responsible for bureaucratic appointments. Iosif (a.k.a. STALIN) placed people in the government who were loyal to HIM!  Within 20 years all those above mentioned names would be dead. And Stalin would be the undisputed master.

Obama of course was not assigned a mundane government posting. The American people elected him…twice. Many knew exactly what he stood for.  Many others,  low information voters in particular voted for the black man in hopes to finally put America’s racial sins in the rear view mirror. But that is never going to happen if these people have anything to do with it.  White guilt is what got Obama elected, that and a sycophant media who refused to tell the American people what Obama true agenda was, The transformation of America into a European style top down Socialist state and the Shredding of the Constitution.

The seeds of this were planted in American soil over one hundred years ago.  Until Obama, “The one we were waiting for” was elected to reap the harvest.

If Hillary had been elected Obama would have been her co-president in all but name.

But the people elected Trump and now Obama is back doing what he does best, organizing a coup to bring down a legally elected government.

Obama controls the opposition. He will have a great deal of power to choose future members of Congress and the 2020 candidate. But he could have done much of that from Chicago or New York. The reason he didn’t decide to move on from D.C. is that the nation’s capital contains the infrastructure of the national government. He doesn’t just want to run the Democrats. He wants to run America.

The other half of the picture is the Obama Deep State. This network of political appointees, bureaucrats and personnel scattered across numerous government agencies is known only as Obama Anonymous.

Obama Inc. had targeted Trump from the very beginning when it was clear he would be the nominee.

Fascism comes to Vermont

But really, its been here for awhile.

From the Times argus

MIDDLEBURY — Hundreds of Middlebury College students demonstrated ahead of a lecture by speaker Charles Murray, who some have called a white nationalist. Murray wrote “The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life” and “Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010.”

Before Murray spoke Thursday, students turned their backs on him and chanted, “Your message is hatred. We can’t tolerate it.” More than 450 alumni also signed a letter decrying the decision to bring Murray to campus.

The student group American Enterprise Institute Club invited Murray and the Political Science Department cosponsored the lecture. Middlebury College said the student group had a right to invite him.

“I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it”  Attributed to Voltaire.

Such a statement would be considered racist today.  How you ask?  Good question.

Of course this behavior is and has been happening on college campuses all across the country for a long time.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee.

This gentleman was quite a revolutionary in his day. Of course later on he himself was declared an “enemy of the people” and was shot after a show trail in 1938.

Of course if you are not going to allow certain speakers to speak on your campus, what about their books? Is it such a leap from shutting down their lectures to…

This?

I wonder what Peter, Pat, Phil, and Bernie, have to say about this? Their silence is deafening.

Because liberalism is a mental disease, and like some Muslims they can become really unhinged when their sacred ideologies are questioned and challenged.

From American Thinker.

And for those who think they’ll stand by this president despite the attacks, think again.  Tom Brady is hounded by liberals over his friendship with Trump.  Celebrities are blacklisted if they offer support.  Activist websites openly bully companies to discontinue Trump merchandise.  Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, Burlington, and others have now dropped the Trump label, and the list of  capitulating stores is growing.

Lesson: You don’t like someone?  Stalk him.  Trash everything he does.  Mock, demean, ridicule, and ostracize this person.  For those who still hang with your victim, attack them as well.  Harass, threaten, and blackball them until they too turn on your target.

Praise Trump in any capacity and feel the heat. Just ask Mr. Van Jones.

Unlike Libs who proudly can with pride display their ignorance and gibberish in letters to the editor of the local party organ and sign their own name without fear of consequences, conservatives have to be more circumspect.

This is why we use a pseudonyms.

 

Liberalism is a mental disease.

Of course that’s not what they think.

From the blog Bombthrowers.

By Oleg Atabashian.

Science in service of the state or in this case in service to the opposition and a bankrupt ideology.

One of these unparalleled Soviet achievements is the use of psychiatry to silence dissent and delegitimize political opposition, allowing the KGB to lock up dissidents in mental hospitals nicknamed psikhushkas.

In the United States today hundreds of zealous progressive psychiatrists are similarly diagnosing Donald Trump “in absentia” with a variety of incapacitating diseases, from narcissism to neurosyphilis, demanding that he be deposed (and hopefully locked up in a psikhushka along with his supporters).

We had a narcissist in the White House for the past eight years.  But  apparently that was all OK.

The Biblical Story of Esther and the Immoral Society
By Avrohom Gordimer

 

A quote in the article by Rabbi Soloveitchik

The hedonic society is, more or less, a democratic Western society, in pursuit of pleasure and happiness. That society’s world philosophy and outlook can be broken into a number of component parts. This democratic society is in pursuit of pleasure, insists on minimum government interference in private life, resents controls, demands unrestricted freedom in matters which do not affect the community, particularly, matters of sexual morality, hates discipline imposed from above, not even by teachers, is opposed to any constriction…

There is also another society. There is another path which human beings take in order to escape from the finiteness awareness and in order to engage in self-defeat, not only in an allusion but simply in a delusion. The second path, along which frightened man runs in his wild flight from finiteness and death, leads in the opposite direction… Man, traveling along the second path, tries to calm the fear of finiteness through a big lie, through convincing himself that he is more than man. This is done by intentionally magnifying, a hundred-fold, and exaggerating and lying about human ability and power to solve both scientific and metaphysical problems of humanity, and by painting, in iridescent colors, the eschatological age which should be brought about by man alone, through his wisdom and creative efforts

 

A society that lacks a divine moral code cannot endure. The empty, meaningless void that is created by pliable and disposable communal norms gives entry to totalitarianism, be it Marxism, communism or fascism.

The whole article is worth a read.  Have a wonderful Sunday morning.

And at one time it seemed all so far away.

personal history, Social commentary / February 24, 2017

I remember a time not that long ago.  I was a young man in the Coast Guard. Having the time of my life. It was the early seventies. We had already landed on the Moon, and by the end of the century we would have a permanent base and be headed for Mars. The Vietnam debacle was winding down.  Nixon had gone to China.  The majority of Democrats still loved their country but their leftward movements were becoming more apparent. I wasn’t sure what the future would hold for me but I was optimistic. I was going to fly like an eagle.

The twenties teens seemed so far away. But time keeps on slipping into the future.

Now they’re here. And I’m getting close to applying for Social Security.

Social Security was the brainchild of the Roosevelt administration.  The same one that made the depression of the thirties “great”.  It was supposed to be only a “supplement” to your retirement.  The Government would take money from your paycheck all your working life and when you “retired” at age 65 you would be able to get a portion of it back to “supplement” the retirement income you wisely prepared through stocks,  bonds, and annuities.  Of course some people don’t save for retirement,  some  situations in life can be beyond ones control and it can be tough if you are unable to hold a paying job. Others can and do save for retirement through company 401K’s

Of course when you mix “government” and “economy” in the same sentence bad things can and do happen. Like 2008 when many retirement portfolios were wiped out.

Then Social Security becomes VERY important.

Of course we’ve known for a long time that Social Security was and is a Ponzi scheme.  Way back then the  life expectancy of an American male in 1935 was 60, It was a good bet that he would never live to see his first S.S. check.  Now you have people living into their nineties who have been collecting for nearly three decades. But this is not a bad thing. The bad thing is how the government squanders the money it has, such as handing out money to people who have never put in to the system. People with no S.S. number, ILLEGAL ALIENS!

From the Washington Free Beacon

One billion dollars!

 

…Government benefits are also going to illegal aliens through the representative payee system. 17 percent of representative payees in the sample did not have an SSN recorded because they were undocumented noncitizens, the inspector general said.

Illegal aliens without SSNs are allowed to receive benefits from the government when acting as representatives for their minor children…

Read it all.

In the morning of your life you didn’t think about such things.  It’s late afternoon, I think about it a lot. What once seemed far away…

When they hate you, they really, really hate you.

From Townhall

The Democrat Party, its Media serfs, and Social Justice Incorporated are all outraged because we uppity normals are again presuming to rule ourselves, and their agony is delightful. Less delightful is how, in the process of trying to claw their way back into power, they are incinerating the norms and rules that preserve our political order. That stuff Hillary babbled about honoring the legitimacy of elections? Yeah, no. There’s an invisible asterisk only liberals can see that explains that the norms and rules are void when liberals lose

Fascism is alive and well

Social commentary / March 1, 2017

And it’s the left and Hollywood who practice it.

Also known as “doublespeak”.

 

An article from the American Spectator.

 

But the issue with Irving is the same as it always is with far leftists. They engage in what Orwell called “doublespeak” — and in this case the goal is to disguise the fact that the “Fascists”— here the likes of Irving — have the whip hand. In this case, in Hollywood. Irving clearly gives no fig about dissent — if it is left-wing orthodoxy that is being dissented from. Like the gay Chadwick Moore or the black Clarence Thomas or the female Sarah Palin or the Hispanic Mexican/American Bush 43 Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, the moment one dissents from liberal orthodoxy then one is toast. You can be gay, black, a woman, Hispanic — if you have left the liberal plantation you will be trashed. And plantation managers like John Irving are there to make sure you obey the ole massa.

Reason…the left don’t need no stinking reason.

Social commentary / February 19, 2017

From the American Thinker

 

Their use of inflammatory adjectives (racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe, Islamophobe, Nazi, fascist, etc.) to describe their opponents is nothing but an attempt to shut down debate (reason).

The left have made holding a viewpoint not consistent with their own progressive dogma tantamount to murder.

Under this environment, finding common ground will be difficult, if not impossible.  How can common ground be found, when one party (conservatives) are unable to use reason to make their case?

Make no mistake: what the left fears most is not that conservative ideas will fail, but that they’ll succeed.  They can’t abide the thought that liberty and self-determination might supplant the nanny state and centralized control.

Read it all.

 

This little snippet takes place in a Gulag labor camp called Ekibastuz  located in Kazakstan.  It’s the year 1953 and hunger strikes have started in protest of the conditions men were forced to endure. If men refuse to eat then he’s not obligated to work. This would led to violent reprisals. Finally  a commission of enquiry if formed as to the “legitimacy” of the strikers demands.

“The lofty-browed villain of a lieutenant colonel was especially quick to interrupt the speakers: he had a nimble tongue, and the advantage of impunity. With his caustic interjections he thwarted each of our attempts to present our case. From the tone which the proceedings were beginning to take you would thought that only we faced any charges and needed to defend ourselves.”

 

“…But as they sat there all in a row at the long table, exhibiting their sleek, white complacent, uniformly blank physiognomies, it was plain that they had long ago degenerated into a distinct biological type, that verbal communication between us had broken beyond repair, and that we could exchange only. . .bullets.”

From The Gulag Archipelago, Vol. 3 chapter 11 “Tearing at the Chains”.

By Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Does this all sound vaguely  familiar.

This is what eventually happens when progressives, socialist, communist acquired total political power and the force to weld it.
