The Twilight of the Republic - The Beginning of Oligarchy

 
Don't tread on me
 
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Thus begins one of the most important documents in the world and the founding document of the United States. The Constitution has been the governing document for our country for 220 years and though it has been stretched, bent, and maybe spindled. It has never been mutilated, until now. In the past sixty plus days, it has not only been mutilated, but shredded. The Constitution was created by our founding fathers to ensure that America would be a republic, not an aristocracy. The Constitution set forth the rights of the people over the rights of the government. Lately, it seems that congress and the president have forgotten this simple fact. While some may argue that this has been going on for a number of years, since the election of Obama, congress (regime) has begun harder then ever to establish an oligarchy with Obama as the Dear Leader.

An oligarchy is a form of government where power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royalty, wealth, family, military influence or religious hegemony. The word oligarchy is from the Greek words for "few" (olígos) and "rule" (arkhe). Such states are often controlled by politically powerful families whose children are heavily conditioned and mentored to be heirs of the power of the oligarchy. Oligarchies have been tyrannical throughout history, being completely reliant on public servitude to exist. Although Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich, for which the exact term is plutocracy, oligarchy is not always a rule by wealth, as oligarchs can simply be a privileged group.

Just prior to the election, congress, small elite segment, passed the TARP which states “The Secretary is authorized to establish the Troubled Asset Relief Program (or ‘TARP’) to purchase, and to make and fund commitments to purchase, troubled assets from any financial institution.” This program took almost a trillion dollars of our tax money, to bail out “companies to large to fail”. Knowing that this may outrage the taxpayers, it was passed anyway. Unfortunately former President Bush signed it, knowing that he didn’t have enough votes in the senate to maintain the veto. Part of this TARP money was used to also help the auto industry (the UAW), and through again there was an outrage, it was ignored. The select few know more that the “common” people. This “financing” of the UAW, will later set up the beginning of state control of industry.

In January, Dear Leader came to power. The regime is now completely in control. Before and since taking control, Dear Leader has used a page out of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules For Radicals:
"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevski said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default."
This has helped to establish fear into a majority of Amerricans, and allowed the regime to run unchecked, and pass two more bills. Both of which contained money to repay the special groups that helped bring the regime to power. These were passed over the objections of those moderates in congress.

The regime handed out money some financial institutions that had a common thread, most had donated to the campaigns of the regime. Then, there came the AIG “scandal”, where taxpayer’s money was used to pay bonuses. The outrage in congress and the press (TASS), was at fever pitch. The regime condemned, made threats and even passed an unconstitutional law. Even though the regime knew they were going to be paid. Attorney generals in two states took the law into their own hands. They threatened to release the names of those receiving bonuses; this is called blackmail and extortion. So called “conservative” talk show host, Michael Medved, http://www.michaelmedved.com/ , even made the statement, “Just give the money back.” Nobody even considered that this money had been lawfully contracted to be paid. There were demonstrations, by ACORN (the brown shirts of the Dear Leader) and unions, all of which were paid by the taxpayer’s money. With TASS whipping the frenzy over AIG, the regime was passing HR 1388, The CARE Act, and while America was distracted, the foundations of Dear Leader’s comment, “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” was laid.

When you read this bill you will see that it there is a similarity between this and the Hitler’s youth. One particular provision in this bill is that if a school receives government money, it has to show at least 90 percent of the students enrolled in the “volunteer” programs. http://www.e3gazette.com/2009/03/hr-1388-is-arbeit-macht-frei-too-strong.html  and http://www.e3gazette.com/2009/03/hr-1444-theyre-not-even-trying-now.html It is now awaiting Dear Leader’s signature. If someone reads this bill carefully, there is a eerie similarly to the reformation of Hitler’s Youth. Is this the internal security force Dear Leader spoke of? A connection to this is the oaths that Obama has posted on various websites, again a scary reminder of times passed.

“Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.” www.americanthinker.com
 
And another that appeared on his website but has since been taken down:
“I support President Obama’s bold approach for renewing America’s economy.
I will ask my friends, family and neighbors for their support for this plan”

Now, compare the above with the brand new oath of allegiance in that the German Officer Corps and every individual soldier in the German Army were made to swear in Hitler’s Germany after he came to power:
“I swear by God this sacred oath: I will render unconditional obedience to Adolf Hitler, the Führer of the German Reich and people, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and will be ready as a brave soldier to risk my life at any time for this oath."

If you notice this oath is to Hitler personally, not the German state or constitution, as were previous Army oaths. Obedience to Hitler would now be regarded as a sacred duty by all men in uniform, in accordance with their military code of honor, thus making the German Army the personal instrument of the Führer. Now if you look at Dear Leader’s oaths, again it is to him. There is no mention of God. There is no mention of the United States or any reference to any of America’s principles. This is disguised as a volunteer organization, with a budget of $5.7 billion, to start. I realize there are some out there that may want to say I’m a conspiracy nut, “it is just harmless volunteer organization”. I am sure the people of Germany thought the same, but I remember a quote, “He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.” (Adolf Hitler). Is this the beginning of an internal security force, answerable only to the regime? Is this the beginning of the oligarchy and the twilight of the republic that is America?
