First Thoughts: Anger, Shock, Dismay as Obama Sets Up Country for Riots

RUSH: You know, I showed up here feeling quite sad today -- yeah, I did -- over the death of Steve Jobs. And then to have to sit here for the last hour and watch this excuse for a press conference, made this a very tough day. We're looking at incompetence on parade here.

Hi, folks, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute, Advanced Conservative Studies. Telephone number is 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.

If you have ABC Radio News, if your EIB affiliate carries ABC Radio News and you've been listening to it mere moments ago, they've been playing sound bites from Obama's press conference as if they're being fed those sound bites, and saying, "an angry sounding Obama." And he has sounded angry a couple times. I'm thinking, "What in the world does he have to be angry about? He's the one causing all this. He's the one screwing everybody. He's the one happily managing the decline of the United States of America." And these fits of rage are prompted by questions that he considers to be beneath him, he doesn't think he should be asked. And this whole thing is a campaign appearance.

There's no news in this press conference. There hasn't been one shred of news here. And the reporters asking questions, with the exception of two or three of them, are just scared as they can be. State-Controlled Media on parade. Obama's pushing hard to change the facts, position himself as a man who wants to create jobs with a phony jobs bill. It's just a massive tax increase bill. It isn't gonna happen. He's not gonna get away with this lie. It has been one solid lie after another. We've got sound bites of it. I guess we'll play some of them as the program unfolds today. I just marvel here at what I really think is profound incompetence, coupled with everything else that he is.

I know he's got a chip on his shoulder about the country, and I know that he thinks we need to be taken down a peg or two, all of our imperialistic ways in the past, the way we've stolen resources from everybody else in the world, that's how he we got our greatness, we gotta pay the price now, we gotta find out what the rest of the world lives like, all that sort of stuff, but to listen to him try to explain economics is an embarrassment. To listen to him explain how this jobs bill is gonna magically put everybody back to work and build roads and bridges and schools? And not one reporter said, "Well, what about the first stimulus that was almost a trillion dollars? What happened to all the road building and school building and bridge building in that stimulus?"

There wasn't any of it. And here comes the usual line about cops and firemen and teachers being laid-off and this is gonna put 'em back to work. Yeah, for a year. This bill gives the states money to hire those workers for a year, and then what do they do? Just like Clinton's hundred thousand cops. Yeah, for a year. You commit with federal money to hire cops and so forth and then after a year or two the money runs out and then what do you do? So, anyway, we'll get into this in more detail. It's still going on. This thing is going on now an hour and ten minutes long, and we had a room full of journalists in there supposedly in a news conference and not one random act of journalism occurred. I mean F. Chuck Todd said, "Mr. President, in past occasions you've urged people to call Congress, and you've melted the phone lines, and it isn't happening anymore. Have you lost the ability to persuade people?"

Bill Plante said, (paraphrasing) "You're out there waving the bill around and it almost sounds like it's a campaign rather than actual negotiation, you're doing a Harry Truman, do-nothing Congress. Is that what you're doing, Mr. President?" Obama got really ticked off at that, said, (imitating) "I couldn't run against a do-nothing Congress, right? If they just do something, they won't do anything." And I'll tell you something else, he did get a question, Jackie Calmes at the New York Times asked him about this Occupy Wall Street bunch, and we've learned a lot more about that group, too, about which we will share with you as the program unfolds today. Jackie Calmes of the New York Times asked him, "Are you aware of this? Are you watching any of it?" And he expressed his solidarity, 'cause those are his foot soldiers.

This thing just didn't bubble up out of nothing. We now find out George Soros money is behind this, and there's no doubt in my mind that the White House is behind this. I wish I could tell you who, but a very prominent person asked me to never mention his name in this regard, but for months he has been telling me, "You watch, Rush, do not doubt me," he said to me, "Obama is setting up riots. He is fanning the flames for riots and eventual violence. That's all he's got." And now you look, all of this talk about millionaires and billionaires and people not paying their fair share and this relentless assault on achievement in this country has resulted in what? The appearance of a spontaneous combustion of angry white college students who are fed up with all the injustices that this country is famous for. That's his base.

Occupy Wall Street is his base. Those are his foot soldiers. The anarchists, the union thugs who are occupying Wall Street, Obama is now going to run for reelection against Wall Street, and all of these schlubs in this protest march don't understand that Wall Street and Obama are inseparable.

New York legislators are getting death threats now if they don't tax the millionaires, and my very prescient friend wanted me to say this on the air, wanted me to warn people. "I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna predict the president of the United States wants riots," but he was a very, very, very prominent individual; and we're on the verge of it here. You get this many people together and you whip 'em into this kind of a frenzy over things they don't even really know about? They've got a bunch of energy, and it's gonna have to have an outlet somewhere. But all these people down there occupying Wall Street, this is his base -- and he admitted it! He expressed his solidarity, 'cause those are his campaign foot soldiers down there. He can't turn his back on them this close to the elections.

You'd think that he'd be embarrassed to embrace them publicly like this. He said, "Well, those people, they're simply expressing the frustrations of the American people," as though the frustrations felt by you and me and everybody else have nothing to do with what's gone on in the last two-and-a-half years. He keeps saying (impression), "The American people have been frustrated a long time, ten years! American people have been mad about this economy for a long time. We need to do something now. We need to pass that jobs bill!" Who in the world thinks, even if...? Let's just play a game here. This bill of his is $450 billion of tax increases. He's out there talking about small business tax cuts and middle-income class tax cuts. There aren't any tax cuts in this bill! It's a tax increase bill, but let's just pretend for a second that this was $450 billion of just spending, stimulus spending.

Somebody explain to me how spending $450 billion is gonna get every bridge repaired, every school repaired, every road repaired, and everybody who doesn't have a job, a job. How does that happen? This is what's on parade today. This is utter foolishness, this is utter incompetence, trying to sell the notion that this bill of $450 billion is a magic elixir. If $450 billion would turn this economy around -- which I thought it already had! We have been "back from the brink" for how many years now, according to Obama? If $450 billion is gonna turn this economy around, then why didn't the first $787 billion and then the next $50 billion that was added to it and then the third $26 billion on top of that and all of the other spending that has occurred in this administration -- not just the stimulus spending -- created this magic?

Right, because we had a typhoon in Japan, and we had the Arab spring. Oh! Oh! You remind me. I got a story here in the stack: One of these idiots down there at Occupy Wall Street claims that they were inspired by the Arab spring and that that's why they are marching. H.R. dug that one out in some obscure weekly publication in the Bowery. So, anyway, folks, I just sit here and I don't quite know how to verbalize the emotions I'm feeling over this because they run the gamut of anger, shock, dismay, suspension -- willing suspension -- of disbelief, all of it. It's just the Twilight Zone, alternate universe.

RUSH: No, no. I don't think it's gonna help him at all. He's digging a deeper hole for himself with these kinds of things. Look, even the left, folks -- even people on the left -- are fully aware and they have buyer's remorse. They know it. You have people like Tina Brown. You may say, "Tina Brown? Who's Tina Brown?" Tina Brown, as far as the left is concerned, is an oracle. She may be an absolute dunce. She can put magazines together, but she's an oracle to these people. She said, "Yes, it turns out he wasn't ready. It turns out he wasn't ready." They know. They know and they're embarrassed watching this garbage. Don't doubt me.

[Fox News, Glenn Beck, 12/8/10)

Beck: “I Told You Unrest Was Coming To Europe And Then It’s Coming Here.”

From Beck’s Fox News show:

Showing you for a year in advance — a year in advance, I told you unrest was coming to Europe and then it’s coming here. I have shown you now in the last few a months the actual unrest and violence in the street of Europe.

Again, today in Greece, the unions shut down public transportation. Who did I tell you would go that? The unions. Students are taking to the street in England over possible tuition hikes. I told you that would happen a year ago.

We showed you the burning cars. We’ve showed you how they are mirroring the failed economic policies here in America. I’m a paranoid lunatic, seditious. This must be suffocating paranoia.

Now, let me ask you this — are they willing now to say the same thing about the Pentagon? Because they have been war-gaming an economic crisis for almost two years now. One of these war games was called Unified Quest 2011.

“The latest twist is an attempt to highlight anonymous threats against leftist scholar and strategist Frances Fox Piven as a way of forcing Glenn Beck, a critic of Piven, off the air, or at least prohibiting him from mentioning her on his Fox News television show

It is extraordinary that conservatives should be charged with stirring up violence at a moment when Piven, in an editorial in The Nation, has called for an American movement of “strikes and riots” on the model of the one recently seen in Greece.

Yet it is not conservatives but Piven and The Nation who advocate violence. Neither Piven nor The Nation should be forcibly silenced, but they certainly ought to be criticized. Instead, The Nation is leading the effort to silence those who have rightly condemned Piven’s call for rioting in America.

An article by Brian Stelter in Saturday’s New York Times is a thinly disguised gesture of support for The Nation’s campaign. “

I don’t have the link for it right now, but Yuri Bezmenov had an interview where he described the communist steps for subverting and taking over a nation. I’ll give some excerpts from the transcript I typed before the 2008 election:

“It’s a great brain-washing process, which goes very slow and is divided in four basic stages. The first one being demoralization. It takes from fifteen to twenty years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country of, of your enemy exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxism, Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generations of American students, without being challenged or counter-balanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism...

Most of the activity of the department was to compile huge amount, volume of information on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publishers, editors, journalists, uh, actors, educationalists, professors of political science, members of Pariament uh, of pre, representatives of business circles. Most of these people were divided roughly in 2 groups: Those who would toe the Soviet foreign policy. They would be promoted to the positions of power through media and public opinion manipulation. Those who refused the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated or executed physically come revolution... The useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of Soviet socialist or communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point, “Never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher.”

This was my instruction. Try to get into large circulation, established, conservative media. Rich, filthy rich movie makers. Intellectuals. So-called “academic circles”. Cynical, eccentric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie. These are the most recruitable people, people who lack moral principles, who are either too greedy or too, suffer from self-importance. They feel that they matter a lot. This is all the people who KGB wanted very much to recruit...

So the next stage is destabilization. This time subverter does not care about your ideas and the patterns of your consumption. Whether you eat junk food and get fat and flabby doesn’t matter any more. Ths time, and it takes only from two to five years to destabilize a nation, it’s the, what, what matters is essentials. Economy, foreign relations, defense systems...

The next stage, of course, is crisis. It may take only up to six weeks to bring a country to the verge of crisis...

And after crisis, with the violent change of power, structure, and economy, you have so-called the period of “normalization”. It may last indefinitely. “Normalization” is a cynical expression borrowed from Soviet propaganda. When the Soviet tanks moved into Czechoslovakia in ‘68 Comrade Brezhnev said, “Now the situation in brotherly Czechoslovakia is normalized.”
(End transcript excerpts)

Obama’s people have been destabilizing the foundatons of this country for as long as they have been implementing Cloward-Piven. Two of the planks in that plan were actually implemented specifically by the young lawyer in Chicago, Barack Obama: the motor voter plan to degrade the integrity of the democratic process, and threats to the bankers if they didn’t fill racial quotas by giving out subprime loans. Those two lawyerly projects were the only 2 legal accomplishments Obama had as a lawyer, and they were both critical wounds to the electoral and economic infrastructure which would eventually enable the country to be destabilized to the point it is now. Barack Obama specifically laid the landmines that have allowed for elections to be stolen and the economy to be fragile enough that somebody like Soros could make a run on the bank and wreak havoc on everybody’s financial future.

The whole point of Cloward-Piven was to reach a point where people were ripe to believe that capitalism doesn’t work. And right after the September 2008 run on the bank we heard Chavez and Castro saying that the world should try communism, SINCE CAPITALISM HAD FAILED. We heard Ahmadinejad and Zawahiri saying that SINCE CAPITALISM HAD FAILED, the world should try Islamic finance. We heard George W Bush saying that if TARP wasn’t passed the entire western, capitalist world would collapse. There was definitely a template there, and the terminology used reflected the sources of that run on the bank, IMHO: the communist and Islamist allies of George Soros and his puppet, Barack Obama. Congress declared martial law briefly so they could attempt to pass emergency legislation in response to the “crisis” (which Emanuel says you should never “let go to waste”). They didn’t pass that legislation; it took months for them to pass TARP and still no financial armageddon. The financial armageddon would only come if 500 billion dollars’ worth of payoffs (to primarily foreign, shariah-compliant banks that had contributed to the dems and ACORN) weren’t approved by Congress.

So they didn’t get their full-blown crisis at that point. They got Obama in office, though, so he could further destabilize things - only this time they knew they would have to destabilize right down to the local levels, because the investors themselves weren’t spooked to the point that they ever gave in to riots and downright communist takeover.

So with Obama in office they have had access to destabilize the critical infrastructure: law enforcement (think Eric Holder in charge of all law enforcement to embolden “his people” and arm the drug cartels while making sure that our southern border is and always will be wide open), media, the courts, takeover of entire industries such as auto, energy, farming, and healthcare, military, and accountability (replace honest inspectors general and give all power to unelected, unaccountable “czars” and regulators).

From there it simply becomes a game of agitation, which is what Obama is all about. Squeeze people economically by killing the economy and taxing the people to death, keep law enforcement from enforcing the law and protecting the people while being inundated with both Islamic and druglord terrorists, and when the tinder is good and dry, have your subversive allies (the ACORN, union, communist, etc thugs) light a match. Send a Twitter to start flash mobs, or give the signal to the SEIU etc by having Joe Biden and Jimmy Hoffa Jr use violent rhetoric in the same weekend...

What some of us have said for a while now is that when Obama can no longer hide his crimes against this country, he will have nothing to lose, and that is when we enter really, really dangerous territory. Fast and Furious, Solyndra, Obama’s latest birth certificate forgery, etc are blowing the cover off of Obama and his entire administration. It’s time now for the revolution they’ve been working on for decades. The tinder is dry and now they are planning to light a match and set the place on fire - before any election comes along to take Obama out.

This is an extremely critical time. A group called “Anonymous” hacking to take the New York Stock Exchange off the web (which they say they will do on Oct 10th, IIRC) may be the match they intend to light the place on fire. I really wonder if Oct 10th - or whatever day this thing is supposed to happen on - has any particular significance in the Islamic world.

The protests - like you say - are mostly fringe and would involve leftists against leftists. But if it provides an excuse for Anonymous to light the match, that match will impact the entire country.

Sorry for taking so long to get to your point. I think some of the background is vital for understanding the overall scheme though - if not for you, then for those who don’t understand that background.
