An Open Letter To Secretary Janet Napolitano, DHS

I was going to continue the Twilight of the Republic, but with the recent release of the DHS', Rightwing Extremist, profiling report I was just so angry, I decided to put that series on the back burner. Instead I am posting an open letter to Secretary Janet Napolitano.
 
 
Don't tread on me
 
Secretary Janet Napolitano
Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528

Madame Secretary:

I find your department’s recently released assessment on Rightwing Extremism personally highly insulting.  I am amazed that that a government agency can waste money, my taxes, on a report not founded in evidence, but in conjecture. Is this just part of a political agenda, because people, particularly returning veterans may be dissatisfied with the current administration’s policies? I need not defend any veteran, they have proven their loyalty, they are sworn to defend the Constitution, and this oath is carried with them the rest of their lives.

This report is very much like the propaganda that was spread by newspapers and Hollyweird in the late 1960’s and 1970’s about veterans returning from Viet Nam. We also were “profiled” as drug crazed baby killers. We were dissatisfied with not being able to find jobs. We were “bitter” because of the treatment we received when we returned. Yes, there were isolated cases of anti social behavior, but the majority became productive American citizens, it fact I think some are serving in the government.

To profile an entire group of  brave young men and women as possible recruits for rightwing extremists group is as like profiling the entire current administration and congress as tax cheats and lawbreakers, who could be recruited for organized crime. If we profile persons of Middle Eastern decent, African Americans and people of Hispanic decent (legal and illegal), it ends up as a cause for a civil suit, and I believe it is also illegal.

To save time and money, I’ll present these facts to make it simpler for your department to profile me.

  1. I am a 14 year Marine veteran, although I returned from war roughly forty years ago, I have kept up with current military information.
  2. I believe strongly in the Constitution, particularly that pesky Second Amendment, you know that little pesky statement, “….the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
  3. I do not want a bigger federal government; I do prefer more state and local authority.
  4. I strongly oppose abortion.
  5. I oppose illegal immigration and strongly believe that illegal immigrants should be arrested and returned to their home country.
  6. I oppose the massive expansion of social programs to minorities, particularly since it is my tax money that is being used to pay for it.

Yours truly,

Old Marine

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?

An Open Letter to the Employees of AIG: Stand UP And FIGHT!!!

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

Like every other American citizen, I have been following the feeding frenzy over the payment of your bonuses. It seems that’s all we have heard for the past week. Frankly, I am fed up with propaganda being spread by the media, congress and Dear Leader Obama. It is not my place or theirs to judge whether you earned or are entitled to the money that’s between God, your employer and yourself.

Having listened to the COA crap coming out of the current Reichstag, I can only say one thing, someone, please stand up and fight. The Reichstag has shredded the Constitution and turned this into a witch hunt, no different then the McCarthy hearings of the 1950’s or the anti-Jewish regulations that were drawn up by a Nazi bureaucracy in the early years of the Third Reich. The only purpose in what they have done is to demonize business and COA their rush to push an agenda through congress. An agenda designed for one purpose, to destroy the American way of life.

I would like to see someone stand up to these sanctimonious, greedy sacred cows that we call congress. Most of which couldn’t operate, let alone manage a lemonade stand and that includes Hussin Obama. They are good for spreading lies, name calling and spreading the class warfare. Just like in the Third Reich did with the Jews. Remember, “Those who do not remember history tend to repeat it.”

Describing the Nuremberg Laws “In the Reich's early years, anti-Jewish regulations were drawn up by a Nazi bureaucracy that included both radical and moderate anti-Semites. None of the bureaucrats had any moral qualms about being anti-Semitic. However, the moderates were concerned with foreign reaction and the possible disruptive impact of anti-Jewish prohibitions on Germany's still-fragile economy.”Copyright © 2001 The History Place™ http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/triumph/tr-nurem-laws.htm

Let us bring it up to date; what congress and the administration have done is…. “In the early days, anti-business regulations were drawn up by a congress that included both radical and moderate business people. None of the members of congress had any moral qualms about being anti-business. However, the moderates were concerned with the citizens’ reaction and the possible disruptive impact of anti-business regulations on America’s fragile economy.”

“Although Jews made-up less than one percent of Germany's overall population of 55 million, Hitler considered them by nature to be the "mortal enemy" of the German people. But within Hitler's bureaucracy, radical and moderate anti-Semites strongly disagreed as to what legal (or illegal) actions should actually be taken against the Jews. This bureaucratic in-fighting resulted in complete stagnation concerning the development of a coordinated Reich policy of anti-Semitism.

Local Brownshirts, upset by the bureaucratic bungling, often took out their frustrations on local Jews in their neighborhoods, and by mid-1935 there had been dramatic rise in the number of street incidents.” Copyright © 2001 The History Place™ http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/triumph/tr-nurem-laws.htm

Is this not what is going on in the congress and America……Although high paid business executives make-up less than five percent of America’s overall population. Congress and the administration considered them by nature to be the "mortal enemy" of the American people. But within Obama and congress’ bureaucracy, radical and moderate anti-business strongly disagreed as to what legal (or illegal) actions should actually be taken against “big business". This bureaucratic in-fighting hopefully may result in complete stagnation concerning the development of a coordinated government anti-business policy.

Although this is written for the employees of AIG, I feel the citizens of America should wake up and what is happening to our country. This could happen to any group; churches, talk show hosts, or actually any citizen that might earn more than the Reichstag thinks they should. Someone has to stand up to congress and the administration and bring them under control. After all they work for us. I didn’t vote to give them raises or special bonuses, yet they get them and have the nerve to misuse the power that we give them to target a select group, just because they rushed to pass a bill without reading it. To congress, I and the rest of America are your employers and to quote the Donald, “You’re Fired.” Please don’t ask for a reference.

The Ascent to Power; A Brief Historical Comparison

I fully expected to post sooner that this, but due to computer problems and other items that required my attention, I was unable to do anything. If any readers follow this rant, well, I’ll try to do better.
 
Before I begin, I really must thank a great bunch of guys who assisted me in getting my computer up and running after my stupidity caused it to get infected by a virus. Without going into great detail, I kept getting a error and after much searching of the web, I came across www.techguys.org , these guys were great, didn’t charge anything, except a donation if you want, but not necessary. Now, my computer is running like a brand new machine. If you have problems, you might want to check them out

Quite a few things have happened since my last post and it has pretty become old news, so I will not add my personal rant on those events. I would like really everyone to think about the direction this country is heading. Time or Newsweek bragged that we are all socialist now. Well, I’m afraid we have going further then that.

Recently, a substitute host on Michael Medvet’s show interrupted a caller for saying or comparing Qbama to Hitler. The host said that we shouldn’t have that comparison. After all, Hitler had set up death camps and tried destroy the Jews and other so called inferiors. As I driving, I could only say, “not yet.” If that host and others would stop being so afraid and develop a set of *****, and look at the history of Nazi Germany and Hitler’s rise to power.

Obama, like Hitler, came out of nowhere and had written a couple of books. Both “studied” with “radicals” in the beginning. Both served with fairly radical organizations, Hitler with the German Workers Party: Obama with ACORN (who now is going to billions of taxpayers dollars). Hitler had his “brown shirts” that actually intimidated people to vote and support Hitler. Obama had his “truth squads” operating in various states during his campaign. Both used an economical crisis, Hitler had the Depression: Obama had the banking crisis or as he has, “the worst economical crisis since the Depression”. Obama even continued this through the election and until this past weekend. Both came to power by giving great speeches and charisma, the only thing difference is Hitler didn’t use a teleprompter.

Looking back over the election, does this not describe Obama? “He would begin each speech in low, hesitating tones, gradually raising the pitch and volume of his voice then exploding in a climax of frenzied indignation. He combined this with carefully rehearsed hand gestures for maximum effect. He skillfully played on the emotions of the audience bringing the level of excitement higher and higher until the people wound up a wide-eyed, screaming, frenzied mass that surrendered to his will and looked upon him with pseudo-religious adoration.” 1  

Hitler and Obama both offered something to everyone; work to the unemployed, prosperity for the failed business people, more profits to industry, social harmony and an end of class distinctions to idealistic young people. Hitler differs from Obama on one important idea, Hitler wanted to increase the Army, Obama seeks to cut the defense budget, thus decreasing the Armed Forces. Both promised the restoration of their nation’s glory to those in despair. Obama and Hitler promised to bring order amid chaos, a feeling of unity to all and the chance to belong. Both promised to stamp out corruption.

Hitler and Obama appealed to all classes of citizens. For Hitler, the name of the Nazi party itself was deliberately all inclusive - the National Socialist German Workers' Party. For Obama, the Democratic party is “all inclusive”.

All of the Nazis, from Hitler, down to the leader of the smallest city block, worked tirelessly, relentlessly, to pound their message into the minds of the Germans. During the primaries and the election, Obama, the “supper delegates”, special interest groups, ACORN and even movie stars worked to pound the message of “Change” home.

Hitler had the bankers and industrialists on his side, just like Obama. Later, Hitler turned on those same bankers and industrialists nationalizing the banks and industry. Obama and congress are doing the same, however they aren’t using force, but are using our tax money to “bailout” the banks and other industries, and thus gain government control. Just look at AIG, after Dodd put in an amendment to honor the bonuses. When Obama was elected, the democrats were in control of congress. This opened the door for his socialist agenda. When Hitler came to power, the Nazi party was all ready in power in the Reichstag and thus giving Hitler absolute power.

While Hitler’s brown shirts were instrumental in bringing him to power, he also established the SS and these two groups would endeavor to keep him in power. Currently, Obama is losing some of his support, however, his ace in the hole, with the support of congress is trying to pass HR 1388. The “Give Act” will require every citizen to serve in some form of national service. Not quite the SS, but should we be worried, I say, “YES”.

There are many items going on in D.C. and I feel that all Americans should be concern. The Constitution was written as the ultimate law in our nation. Obama and congress are trying to shred it in every way it can. Some Americans believe this cannot happen. Some conservative talk hosts, Michael Medvet and Bill Bennett, do not or chose to even consider these comparisons and God forbid you even mention Hitler and Obama in the same breath. Bill O’Reilly and Dennis Miller, there isn’t too much you can say about them, except they seem to be more interested in ratings then even looking at the possibility of the United States becoming a socialist.

A few conservative talk show hosts do have the ***** to speak out. They are the early warning system doing all they can to protect America. They are Rush Limbaugh, www.rushlimbaugh.com ; Michael Savage, http://michaelsavage.wnd.com/ ; Sean Hannity, www.hannity.com; Quinn and Rose, www.warroom.com/ ;and of course, Glenn Beck, www.glennbeck.com . They are risking all, from the possibility of IRS audits to be taken off the air due to the the fear by station owners. In fact, here in the People's Republic of Louisville, Quinn and Rose have already been taken off the air.

As you read this, you may wonder what you can do to attempt to stop this onslaught. "Where do I begin?" I would like to suggest that on or about the 7th or 8th of April, mail a photo of a teabag or a copy of a picture of the Boston Tea Party to:

Dear Leader Obama
Queen Bee Nancy Pelosi
Prince Harry Reid
Your two Senators
Your representative
Remember, as much as you would like to tell them off, be polite.
If you want to hear what others feel, keep up with what others are doing visit the www.the912project.com . Refresh that feeling you had on 9-12-2001. Being patriotic, loving God, loving your family and loving America is not old fashion. It is right thing to do.
For evil to succeed, good men do nothing.

A Call To Arms To Fight The Rise Of The Messiah’s Reich - Part 1

Well, I’m back from hiatus. After the election, I figured I’d take some time off to stock pile gas, food, ammo and a few weapons. It is best to purchase them now, before they completely gut the Second Amendment.  This sounds extreme but, with H. Obama, The Messiah about to take charge and with his loyal yes people in Congress, I figured, better safe then sorry.

Since the election, I have heard the biggest bunch of crap from the so called Republicans and “Conservative” talk show hosts. Every one, save a few like Rush, Quinn, Sean Hannity and maybe Glenn Beck, say that we should treat The Messiah elect with respect. I say BULL, I will treat him and his minions with the same respect his side treated President Bush. The American people have elected a socialist, whose true background was not vetted, who came out of nowhere to be elected along with other members of his party to “govern”. Sound familiar? The country was in a “crisis”, which was brought about by the same people who now are part of the so called solution. They came to power by using this crisis and fear mongering. Sound familiar? They came to power by blaming a small group, the oil executives and bankers. They blame the “rich”. They established a class and race division. Sound familiar? The Queen Bee in the house and the Head Bozo in the senate are all ready doing what they can to shut down debate from the opposing side. They are planning gun control; they are planning to bring back the “fairness” doctrine and doing away with secret ballots for the unions.  Sound familiar?

We all should remember, the “truth squads” from the campaign. We remember the black panthers at some polling places. We remember ACORN and others registering people to “vote”. We have heard of areas having more votes then registered voters, in fact it is still going in MN. The Messiah and his minions are doing everything they can to gain control and the sad part is that the American people are stuck on stupid, with hands out hoping to get something for nothing. Sound familiar? Well, America, look back, for those who do not remember history tend to repeat it. America is about to enter a dark time and maybe repeat a very bleak time in world history, a time that saw a world war and the death of 6 million Jews. Only this time, it may not be a world war, but may lead to the death of two nations, the United States and Israel.

I guess that everyone who reading this may be shocked and wondering if I am comparing The Messiah to Hitler. Yes, to the point of the comparison of Hitler’s rise to power to that of The Messiah’s. Both came out of no where, with no leadership or accomplishments. Both used the same tactics, giving eloquent, spell binding speeches, both blamed a small minority group, for the problems of the nation. Hitler blamed the Jews, The Messiah, blames the “rich” and those who work hard and try to get ahead in this great country.  Both came to power and brought their “party” to control of their country’s governing body. Both wanted to establish a civilian youth organization. Both had their own personal security forces that went after anyone who disagreed with them. Hitler had the “Brown-shirts”, The Messiah had the press. Both promised to bring the economy under control. Hitler lead Germany down a path of destruction, I am afraid that if the American people and particularly the Conservatives don’t “fight” back, and then we may be hitting down the road to social and economic destruction.

By fighting back I do not mean physically. I am referring to the means that we as Americans have at our disposal, which I will suggest on my next post.
