Barack H. Obama: Administrator
canadafreepress ^ | June 14, 2009 | Editor

"Obama is creating a system of government that is beginning to look much like an “Administrator” form of government that will ultimately have no checks and balances, and little need for legislators.

This form of government was the fantasy of Colonel Edward Mandell House, the “alter-ego” of President Woodrow Wilson, a designer of the League of Nations, and author of “Philip Dru: Administrator.”

House fantasized about a system of government in which a single administrator held all executive power to appoint underlings without interference from elected bodies, and to design, and enforce, rules of behavior for individuals, and organizations – including states and local administrative units. In House’s world, his administrator was a part of a global system of administrative governance whose purpose was “…to pursue socialism as dreamed of by Karl Marx.”

"Obama’s actions during these first few months are very much like those of Philip Dru: Administrator. He has found a way to design, and enforce, rules of behavior on much of the banking system, and on General Motors and Chrysler – private industries not subject to governmental management under previous presidents.

Obama has found a way to force state and local governments to yield to his rules in order to get federal dollars, even when states don’t want the dollars that come with federal strings attached.

Obama is creating a new form of government with a growing network of “Czars” that do not have to be approved by the Senate, nor are they subject to the oversight of Congress. So far, 21 Czars have been appointed, with assignments and salaries set by Obama, and accountable only to Obama. This network of White House officers bypasses the traditional executive organizational structure that relies on Cabinet Secretaries to administer laws and promulgate rules subject to congressional oversight and supervision."

Col. Mandell House served as Presidential advisor from the turn of the century to the middle of the second WW. He conceived of the League of Nations, a world bank and court, and convinced Pres. Wilson to carry the banner after he absorbed Houses' book Phillip Dru, Administrator, published in 1906. Book still available in paperback with a search. The parallels are uncanny.

The article is short, and many significant insights are made in this short piece. READ IT ALL. This historical reference is quite important.

MY TELEPROMPTER AND ME

All truth to the contrary

Obama is an abject marxist ideolog. His fundamental change is to creat a command economy under a marxist mdoel...and he is doing so as we speak.

It can all be brought to a halt if enough people demand his birth certificate.

Obama’s legacy will not be just the first black presidency. His will be remembered in history as the administration that relegated the U.S. Constitution to irrelevance, streamlined the structure of government to minimize or eliminate checks and balances, and consolidated executive power into a position to be envied by kings, dictators, potentates - and even by Philip Dru. ...Philip Dru believed that “Our Constitution and our laws served us well for the first 100 years of our existence, but under conditions of today, they are not only obsolete, but even grotesque (p.222).”

Wow! Barry's attitude exactly. I had never heard of House before and this is very interesting. Perhaps WWI kept Wilson from going even further down this road; perhaps only an outside event will be able to keep Obama from carrying out House's plan.

WWI did not keep Wilson from going down the road. He, singlehandedly, went on a mission with House to Europe, and with considerable effort beginning with the Paris Peace Conference, laid the seeds for the League of Nations. We were saved from joining the League of Nations only by the US Senate refusing to sign the treaty. We later got stuck with the UN whose initial members were all Marxists picked by Alger Hiss with the exclusion of the first US Ambassador who stated we would rue the day we joined the UN.

Twenty one Czars, unencumbered use of extra-Constitutional powers (firing of executives, backing of warranties, setting pay rates of executives, transfer of wealth from bond-holders to union thugs), control of the banks, insurance companies, and auto companies. How is this NOT Marxism?

Add to this a scrubbed cirrilua vitae, an unaudited and historic campaign fund, obscured birth records, and linkages to ACORN, and you have a mess that will take a long time to clean up.

If the media had any intellectual curiosity, he would have been bounced out of the primaries long ago. But, we're stuck for at least 3.5 more years - probably 7.5 more.

Regardless of who attempted to violate the Constitution and reorganize the government by using unaccaountable dictators or czars the people are just learning of what Obama is attempting and that is why there has not yet been a push back.
For those of us who follow politics and policy it is obvious that he is reaching for greater government control and attempting to socialize America.
The people have already expressed their strong disapproval of the government running private corporations and Obama is starting to feel a push back. He is making his move toward socialism so quickly that people are waiting to clearly figure out what Obama and his administration have planned for we the people. I am hopeful that after the dust settles and the people clearly know what is being done there will be an uprising against socialism in this country.
I am absolutely confident that the economy will tank with Obama's massive tax and spend policies. The 2010 elections are gradually approaching and from the initial indications Obama and his people are going to be in for a rude awakening.

I read Philip Dru: Administrator a couple of weeks ago.

You can download a text from Project Gutenberg here:

http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/6711

I was struck by the fact that Dru and his allies were willing to go as far as open rebellion and civil war to get what they wanted.

They also considered themselves to be enlightened and their opposition to be benighted and would come around if only they could be shown the errors of their ways.

I was reminded of some the things Michelle Obama has said; Obama/Dru fixing the holes in our souls among them. Dru is very much like a Messiah figure in the book, just as the One is in the minds of the enlightened.

Or, as Dr. Sowell has accurately labelled them, the ‘’self-anointed’’.

self-anointed

There was no need for him to self-anoint. He had plenty of grovelling sycophants to do that for him.

Probably fewer now, though.

Nothing new in this. The correct term is dictator.
