The Destruction Of The USA Unfolds

From my American friend:

In less than a month, Obama has accomplished 3 amazing things that are apparently unnoticed because all the attention is on the criminally stupid “stimulus” package.

In addition to the three accomplishments, a fourth is on the way.  The 3+1 will effectively end the 233-year life of the United States of America.

1.) The Census was taken from the Commerce Department and given to the White House under the control of the very evil Rahm Emanuel. Essentially this means that Emanuel controls the manipulation of population data and will be able to gerrymander the entire country at will to ensure that government goodies go to the dems’ voters. On top of that, he will be able to stroke the data so that new seats in the house (and in state legislatures) go to dem areas.

2.) Killing Welfare Reform. The unread-by-anyone-in-elective-office stimulus bill contains language that essentially removes the block grants to states. This will allow states to offer unlimited welfare and force the federal government to provide cash for it without limits.

3.) Tax and Rebate stupidity. Obama and his minions have now bribed slightly less than 50% of the population by a) excluding them from having to pay any income tax at all and b) allowing them to receive income tax rebates … on taxes they don’t pay. This, along with the death of welfare reform and billions (that’s right, billions) to groups like ACORN, essentially assures democrat majorities in all federal elections forever.

4.) Fairness doctrine. The dems are going to ram this through. It will force radio stations to “balance” the views and opinions it broadcasts. It means that stations that carry Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, etc. must make an equal amount of free air time available to lefties. Nobody listens to leftie radio so no company will sponsor the time so radio stations will have no choice but to drop talk radio completely or go broke. The fairness doctrine (Orwell was right, wasn’t he?) will not apply to other media such as newspapers, magazines and TV nearly all of which are controlled by lefties. It will, however, be applied to the Internet, which is not yet completely controlled by lefties. (This means Limbaugh et al. won’t be able to simply shift their shows to e-radio.) The overall effect will be the disappearance of any news and views inimical to the left.

There are at least 47 more months in Obama’s rein, 23 for certain with the current makeup of the House and Senate, so he and they have plenty of time to cement their supremacy with more nonsense.

We are looking at a tax and spend massive welfare and social engineering machine that will be elected forever with no possibility of ever losing, or, ultimately, ever being opposed.  Think Russia from 1917 on and Germany from the mid thirties to 1945 or, more immediately relevant perhaps, Venezuela and Zimbabwe now.

All this while the US media cheers on Obama as the second coming of FDR.

Bye bye USA.

We Are Screwed – Rantings Of A Friend.

Received an email from a friend who lives in the US today… seems Obama has finally pushed him over the line:

“We’re fu*#d.

Permanently, I mean.

Until this morning, I thought we were temporarily fu*%ed, then the President made a few announcements this morning.

So far, all he’d done was order the closing of Gitmo (which is the action of a Swarthmore sophomore), delay by 120 days the trial of the Sheik of 9/11 (the action of a fool), steal another trillion dollars from Americans as yet unborn (the action of a what we now know as an intergenerational thief), and guarantee permanent democratic ascendancy by issuing income tax rebates to people who don’t pay income tax (the modern version of panem et circenses). Not to mention bringing back Federal funding for abortions.

This morning, he laid out the first steps of a plan that will dwarf anything done by FDR whose lunacy merely extended the Great Depression by 12 or 13 years.

We’re not going to survive Obama.

This morning, he conflated energy independence and alternate energy sources. Insane.

He squeezed two concepts together:

1) independence from oil from foreign sources and …

2) independence from oil. He knows they are not the same thing. He did not mention our own vast and accessible but politically untouchable oil resources. He did not mention oil refineries.

He did not mention his promise to shut down coal production (and, of course, all the energy, including about 50% of our electricity, that we get from coal.)

He did not mention nuclear electric plants.

He brought “climate change” into the energy “discussion” this morning.

He did not call it global warming. The alarmists don’t call it that any more, either, because they now understand that nothing we do, one way or the other, will impact the temperature of the earth by even one degree F over the next 100 years.

Nonetheless, Obama is going to saddle our auto producers with outlandish fuel economy and emission standards while those companies are struggling to stay in business. Those companies will die and soon.

Best of all, he is doing this by Presidential fiat, executive orders, unlikely to be countermanded, or even discussed, by the House or the Senate.

This is all after one week in the Oval Office. We have at least 208 more weeks to go (there’s a Leap Year in there somewhere).

We’re fu@%ed. “

As it is not yet safe to criticize the Great Leader yet, my friend shall remain nameless…

Video Of Terror Training In Canada

Until it appeared online this week, prosecutors of Canada’s largest homegrown terror case did not know about a video showing members of the Toronto 18 at an alleged training camp – despite it being evidence in the trial of a British extremist with links to the group.

The video, posted on a U.S. website, also came as a surprise to the defence lawyers for the Toronto men, who question what impact it will have on their clients.

“Potential jurors may form an opinion about the case without the benefit of other evidence that would put the imagery of the video in its proper context,” said Raymond Motee, who represents one of the adults arrested in 2006.

Shot during a 12-day camp in December 2005 near Washago, Ont., the video shows men in camouflage fatigues, firing paintball guns, handling a 9-mm handgun and waving a black flag. The sound includes Arabic music, explosion noises and shouts of “God is Great.”

Video posted Sept. 16, 2008 on the site “Nine/Eleven: Finding Answers”

“NEFA Exclusive: Video of “Terror Training Camp” in Canada.

Video caption details:

The NEFA Foundation has obtained exclusive footage of a would-be “terrorist training camp” that took place in a rural section of Canada in 2006. The camp, directed by CSIS confidential informant Mubin Shaikh, included members of the alleged Toronto 18 terror cell, who are accused of conspiring to carry out a large-scale terrorist attack in southern Ontario, including plans for truck bombings and storming local buildings such as the Canadian Parliament and the headquarters of the CSIS.

The video features footage of the men receiving instruction on the use of handguns, sniper tactics, and basic calisthenics. Crudely edited by its creators to include nasheed music, the video also shows the men practicing evasive driving maneuvers at night in an abandoned parking lot.”

The prosecution in the trial of some of the young men purportedly pictured in the video has claimed it was shot as a recruiting tool. But the video’s release just days before a decision is handed down in the trial is “concerning”, according to Mitchell Chernovsky, a lawyer for one of the accused. “‘I have no idea why it’s being released now… It just is very concerning that it is being released at this time and without any context’.

The video wasn’t submitted as evidence at the trial in Brampton, Ont., nor is there any reason to believe Canadian prosecutors had it in their possession, said Chernovsky, who added he saw the video online for the first time Thursday. ” (Interestingly, AP and other media outlets have claimed the video WAS presented in court as evidence earlier this year – but the defense lawyer’s never seen it. Interesting.)

From Toronto’s Globe and Mail: “Defence lawyers have argued the camp was so amateurish an exercise that it never rose to the level of terrorist training, and that many of the peripheral attendees were unaware they were being groomed as terrorists by more senior suspects.” (Nawwww, ya think?)  -
