New Order Rising

Call me alarmist, but I don't believe the commentary that follows is an exaggeration... not at all. I would even go so far as to suggest that we are a hair's breadth from a declaration of martial law, with consequent suspension of the Constitution and elections. Gd willing, our well-intentioned Tea Parties will not give them the excuse they're looking for.

I pray to Gd that I'm wrong ... about everything.

 

Robert Romano, Senior Editor of ALG (Americans for Limited Government) News Bureau:

.... By perpetuating the economic emergency, President Obama is now ensuring that investors will want no part of troubled firms, or the bailouts—a double-edge sword. The only way the bailout firms will now be able to remain funded for the foreseeable future now will be through government-backing. Meanwhile, Ford is increasing its market share, as ALG News has previously reported.

The President’s actions today and the Treasury Secretary’s move last week to request authority to seize TARP-recipient firms now crystallize the intentions of the Administration to both market and government observers. This is war.

The President is engaged in a chess match against the markets. And he is at present winning. Why?

Because, in one short year, the government has moved so quickly to take over the financial system, and now in extension all investments, pensions, funds, and everything else that presently needs to be back-stopped by the FDIC, Federal Reserve, the Treasury, and Congress.

It overtook Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac over the summer completely—thus ensuring that the government owns most every mortgage in the country.

It has signed up to buy every single mortgage-backed security out there, creating a limitless line on the budget without much thought as to its final, bottom line, as the bailouts pile up and spiral out of control, and the taxpayer is left on the hook to wither and dry.

All of which is a dramatic departure from constitutional limited government.

There now are no limits, and the Federal Constitution is but mere paper. Even the fiat currency the government prints with abandon now carries more value at the moment to the elected and unelected officials giving it away seemingly for free but in reality at the costly price of leverage upon the bailout’s recipients.

The reason for this rapid succession to tyranny in such a short period is because there now is no effective defense of the Constitution and its limits being waged. There is a weak opposition on Capitol Hill, and a fervent and yet powerless conservative movement on the airwaves and embodied in dedicated organizations in and near the capital and around the nation.

Once these industries—whether they be the mortgage, financial, and now automakers—are subsidized by federal dollars, officials, whether they be Congressmen, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, or the President, arbitrarily apply so-called taxpayer “protections” while simultaneously perpetuating the need for taxpayer assistance.

This new order is decidedly fascist, and it will rapidly proceed to being outright socialist. First, the monster will subsidize, then it will take ownership, and then it will destroy the American economy.

 

And if men who love liberty do not act quickly,

it will be the end of limited government as we know it.

Yael, I am a believer in the great American philosophers, Mark Twain among them. This quote may have more meaning now than ever. "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." Mark Twain Does our government now deserve our support?

There is one thing that I will give the Obama administration; His first three months in office has been a masterful cascade of one audaciously radical act after another that has left his supporters, as well as his critics, dazed and confused. Almost every single act he has undertaken should have been enough for Congress to have blocked any further actions. But they can't focus. Hell, we can't focus. By the time anyone, or everyone wakes up, I'm afraid it will be just as you say. And there will be no stopping it. And while Congress' collective head is spinning, look who is speaking favorably of him - the Pentagon and the military. America is screwed. I'm pretty sure that it is his intent to make certain that Israel is screwed. And I worry that when all of this shakes out, and his agenda and his power is consolidated, and it comes time for finding someone to blame for the economic state of the world, the Jews will once again be the convenient target.

"look who is speaking favorably of him - the Pentagon and the military". Constitutionally, the President is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Just as a Seargent is not allowed to undermine a Lieutanant, likewise, a General is not allowed to similarly undermine the President--the pinnacle of the chain of command. For now at least, don't worry about any praise for obumma or the democrats from the military. (I said "for now"). obumma suggested that military personnel (a great many of whom qualify for food stamps, BTW) pay for their own "health insurance." I think that neither the officers nor the NCOs will forget that. When active-duty officers become political, then panic (and demand their immediate removal).

"while Congress' collective head is spinning . . .". (How I wish that were true.) Their heads aren't spinning--they're gobbling-up power, and the democrats will be the benefactors, and they know it. The democrats have been working for such a takeover for decades now. The last time the democrats controlled everything (1993-1994), they tried--tried hard--to push socialized medicine on the American people (which they euphemistically called "National Healthcare"). 1/7th of the economy would have been nationalized at that time. Ever hear of "doctor's orders?" Imagine "doctor's orders" backed up by federal law? *Any* behavior, no matter how irrelevant, could be deemed as dangerous, and a drain on the taxpayers, etc., and therefore made illegal. We survived that one "by the skin of our teeth," literally, by a Republican filibuster. We dodged a bullet there. To get rid of Rush Limbaugh, they tried to reenact the "fairness doctrine" in 1994. Some called this the "Hush-Rush Bill." From 1998-2000, President bill clinton was the first to use the I.R.S. to harrass his political enemies (i.e., the politicization of the IRS), AND THE DEMOCRATS COVERED FOR HIM. It was the democrats--specifically ted kennedy--that conspired with the Soviet Union to undermine the government of the United States. It was big news in the blogs a couple of years ago: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=0DC20D32-80C6-446E-BF51-1C054E35B7BA http://sweetness-light.com/archive/kgb-letter-details-ted-kennedys-offer-to-help-ussr http://neveryetmelted.com/2006/10/20/grove-city-professor-charges-ted-kennedy-offered-to-help-soviets-against-reagan/ http://bandofbloggers2.wordpress.com/2006/11et/05/ted-kennedy-guilty-of-treason/ and so-on, and so-on, and so-on . . .
