Living By The Sword

Good if it were true; that ‘those who live by the sword, die by the sword‘. POTUS’ reaction to the Iranian protesters (if any) should be indicative. Obama also faces revolt - both from the right and from the left. There is no middle. His budget is widely seen as a joke. Money for increasingly heavy-handed IRS enforcement can only serve to annoy. It reflects the mindset of one who continues to believe that taxpayers are not paying enough; that wealth re-distribution, as he envisions it, has not yet reached its full potential.

For the first time, I concede, that this whole revolution thing could be tracking the other way. People appear to have figured out that tactics usually attributed to the Left could also work for the Right. Will the opposition in our Congress be enough to stop Obama’s and the Leftist’s merry-making? Will our state-run media finally come to recognize the damage that is being done to our nation?

When the media flips, the Obama regime is done. The roll-backs can begin unimpeded. …and the prosecutions.

Historians will note that the American Left actually had a chance during the first two years of the Obama administration; that what they failed to do was criminalize Bush policy. It might have worked: send Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al for trial in The Hague and, afterwards, sequester the lot in Guantanamo. Now, that the tide appears to be turning, the Right must not shrink from doing exactly this. There is now more than enough evidence that Obama and Democrats’ handling of affairs went far beyond incompetence. If the Right is to succeed, the Left must be held criminally liable. It would amount to ‘the shot heard ‘round the world’ and the revolution against real oppression could finally begin.

Bloodying the Sheep

Now that climate change has been certifiably demonstrated to have been a fraud, what else has been fraud? When we were said to have been on the brink of economic collapse? Y2K? Global swine and bird flu pandemic? Poverty? Racism? Terrorism? WMD? Health care crisis? No child left behind? Toyota? The Obama presidency?

Every one of these issues has been politicized. Each one has been orchestrated, promoted and exploited primarily by the Left: Democrats; Marxists; globalists. Each issue has been used as a vehicle to accelerate wealth re-distribution from the private to the public (non-productive) sector; promote panic, chaos; drive wedges; create political power bases based on threat and fear.

The American people will have to begin taking a closer look at every one of these issues (as well as emerging ones) and ask questions. Ordinarily, a free and impartial press would function as the instrument of such scrutiny. But the press itself has become an issue – a platform for the high rollers who have brought us… (well?) fraud.

In all this it’s trust that’s lacking. We can no longer believe what we are told. The propaganda we’re hearing clashes with what we see. We are told the government is broke. The IRS is charged with cracking down on tax cheats, closing loopholes; promoting fairness all around. Meanwhile half of those now in power have distinguished themselves by having broken tax laws. None have been prosecuted; none have gone to jail – as we would have.

There are two classes of privilege in this country: those in power of whom it is said they can do no wrong; and, we, who must negotiate as best we can under a maze of gibberish law and restriction that renders us permanently guilty no matter what we do or how we do it. Whereas they live in their insular Washington hell, we are the livestock out in the stall. Whenever the overbearing stress of ennui strikes them, they come out to the barn and bloody the sheep.

Not much in our news about Argentina these days. But it might do to check it out. It might well be a snapshot of where we’re headed. Cleo’s lessons of history ignored, condemns us to making the same mistakes over and over again.
