Will Obama Stop the Music This November?
The current “shutdown” of 17% of the federal government has primed America for chaos with constant left-wing rhetoric and news media reports couched in apocalyptic terms such as crisis, brink, catastrophe, hostage, arsonist and terrorist. But a catastrophe is useful to a would-be tyrant only as long as it can be blamed on a hated enemy. In 1933 Hitler’s agents burned the Reichstag, not just to sow fear and confusion, but primarily in order to charge his Communist enemies with treason as an excuse to obliterate them. The German “mainstream media” dutifully parroted the Nazi Party line, without investigating the true source of the arson.
A similar pattern of scapegoating has been followed in the United States throughout the term of President Obama. For example, leading Democrats and their shills in the mainstream media have long been salivating at the prospect of a “Tea Party” conservative going on a violent rampage. We saw this in Tucson immediately after the Gabby Giffords shooting, after the Aurora, Colorado, theater attack, and after the recent Washington Navy Yard shooting, when Democrats and their media allies rushed to blame “Tea Party terrorists” in early reports based upon zero evidence. As far as we know, all of these attacks were carried out by deranged individuals following the orders of inner demons, but still the left hopes for a violent response by right-wing “bitter clingers,” so named by President Obama himself during a private fund raiser.
The current “government shutdown” seems to be designed to provoke a violent right-wing reaction. War memorials have been barricaded, even iconic national parks such as those at Valley Forge, Yellowstone, and Mount Rushmore have been closed to the American public that purportedly owns them and undoubtedly funds them. At Yellowstone, senior citizens and foreign tourists have been rousted from paid private hotel rooms by armed federal agents and forcibly bused out of the park. Around the closed Mount Rushmore National Park, cones have been set along public highways to prevent tourists even from stopping to take photographs. Meanwhile, a demonstration on the otherwise “closed” National Mall by illegal aliens demanding amnesty was welcomed by the Obama administration with open arms.
In my opinion, the intention of these selected park closures is not only to inflict psychological pain upon the administration’s perceived “enemies” but to provoke a violent response by fed-up Constitutional conservatives. Thus far, none has risen to the bait; so what will the regime do next? I believe that President Obama may be planning to up the ante by orders of magnitude. How might this happen? The “government shutdown” over the continuing resolution bill has turned on the Democrats’ demand for a “clean” CR, but the real battle will come next week when the national debt limit is reached.
What will happen if President Obama and the Democrats in Congress demand a “clean” debt extension, with no upper limits and no attached conditions, just as they have demanded a “clean CR” to fund current government operations? In the battle over the debt limit extension, either the Republicans will fold and accede to Democrat demands for infinite debt, or they will stand their ground just as they have over the CR. If the Republicans refuse to grant Obama an unlimited debt extension, he may play the final card required to send the United States into such violent turmoil that he will be able to declare a state of emergency and rule by decree under the National Emergencies Act.
How would such horrible conditions be created that President Obama might be able to justify seizing emergency power? By cutting off all federal entitlement payments while claiming that he cannot continue them without a debt extension, secure in the knowledge that the mainstream media will continue to dutifully serve as his propaganda arm, blaming recalcitrant Republicans for all of the negative consequences.
While senior citizens on Social Security and other federal pension plan recipients may not immediately take to the streets, going on violent rampages of rioting, looting and burning, there is a segment of our population that will do exactly that: many of the 50 million Americans who today literally put the food on their tables by using an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. While the states administer their individual EBT programs, most of the money comes from the federal government. Please read my previous essay “When the music stops: how America’s cities may explode in violence” to understand the tremendous risk that will accompany a cutoff—even briefly—of EBT payments.
The fact that thousands of Americans might be injured or killed during the nationwide riots that would follow the looting of supermarkets and delivery trucks will not be a moral impediment to the architects of Operation Fast and Furious. You will recall that this infamous “law enforcement operation” resulted in the murders of hundreds of innocent Mexicans and at least two U.S. federal agents by untracked firearms supplied directly to the Mexican drug cartels by our own federal “law enforcement” agencies. With Operation Fast and Furious (“gun control under the radar” in Obama’s own words), this administration has already crossed the mass-murder-for-political-ends Rubicon—and the mainstream media cooperated in the cover-up.
A lifelong Marxist revolutionary who has caused hundreds to be murdered in an attempt at political gain on gun control is not likely to blanch at the prospect of thousands dying in bloody food riots when the stakes are incalculably higher. If “the music stops” and our cities burn, Obama may grasp the opportunity to declare a state of emergency and seize dictatorial powers from the fire and ashes. Those who resist his rule by emergency decree will be declared to be “Tea Party terrorists” by Democrat leaders and their captive media, and we may finally see why the Department of Homeland Security has been purchasing those billions of hollow-point bullets, UAV drones, and armored vehicles.
If this is their calculation, it is a diabolical plan indeed. But a plan to ride a tiger is not the same as riding the tiger. Permanent rule by emergency decree may not be as simple to accomplish as would-be left-wing tyrants believe. Millions of Americans will not be fooled by the deliberately instigated torching of our cities and will not go quietly into the night of Marxist tyranny.
You are a fool if you think that the bankers who are taking the money are not still pulling the string. Why are so many like you what to sleep or go back to sleep? Why can’t you face reality? Stop being so stupid.
As the recently late, great Tom Clancy once said in a book: "If you plan to kick a tiger in the A$$ you'd better have a plan to deal with his teeth."
In this country we grow lots of tigers who don't appreciate their rights being trampled. Our tigers grow very large indeed. They have no time to waste on tin-pot would-be dictators who would destroy the Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms to advance a globalist NWO agenda. It's been tried before. Molon Labe!
Those preparing for the worst should remember to lay in a good supply of rope.
Why do you think SUVs and 4x4 pickups have been demonized all these years? It's not for the gas mileage! If you own a 4x4 you don't NEED a highway to E&E (Escape & Evade) from a tyrant. It's the very definition of an "off road" event. This also ties into gun control. If you have no way to get to the remote hunting grounds you have no further use for your long range sniper deer rifle! Bambi can therefore rest easier. So can the tyrant.
I don't think it is Pyrrhic at all. The Obama police force will not be dispatched to the cities but the military will and ordered not to fire. The DHS is going to the enemy heartland, the suburbs and small towns to protect them. That means seizing firearms. The food crisis in the city will be solved by food seizures in the suburbs. That is where Obama wants the war and will claim he has law and order on his side, as well as compassion for the "poor" city dwellers.
We already watched our own Reichstag fire and Krystalnacht. When the powers allowed/decided Lehman Bros collapse it ushered in Obama. Mccain/Palin was up ten pts at the time. Then Fannie and Freddie acting as national toxic mortgage drug lord, the resulting home devaluations led to the many stimulus type increases in government power. History books will detail these events but our kids are not hearing any of this now in school.
If you read the comments on any news story from ABCCBSNBCFOX websites there is a common theme amongst the left to arrest and imprison decenters of Obama’s policies on sedition and treason.
You make a compelling case. One could argue that the puzzle pieces are being aligned for such a possibility.

BTTT - thanks for posting this.
Can’t collect gas taxes? Shut down the pumps...
One can see that over the past number of years the Left has grown in their agitation and expressions of inflicting physical retribution upon their countrymen they do not agree with. We have seen this behavior in other countries throughout history. Like a steam kettle, I am concerned that this evil passion is building among Leftists.
My money is on them finding a way to blame conservatives, Republicans, Christians, rural people, white people or some combination thereof.
Look at Detroit. They turned it from one of the most vibrant cities in America to a sh*thole in a single generation with their own people completely in charge. They've learned nothing. See Proverbs 26:11.
Oh wait....
Wow—I missed your first post—I had listened to the interview of Ret. Senator Songstad and was concerned.

In another thread on FR concerning Benghazi Barry, the article mentioned the “surprise visit”, yet everyone was commenting on something else.
The mere mention of a “surprise visit” by Benghazi Barry to the FEMA Area in the article made the hair on my neck stand up. (I have tried to find the thread but can’t remember the title, and I couldn’t find much else on the “visit”.)
Thanks, Responsibility2nd for those posts —I will devour them later, after I put in supplies for this weekend—remember; T2SDA—don’t buy or sell anything Oct 11th thru Oct 13th. I hope the truckers make a HUGE impact! Godluv’em!
The major pieces, the military and DHS/TSA are in place and aligned. I seriously doubt American troops would fire on American citizens, so an order not to fire on city mobs would not present a moral problem. I believe, maybe incorrectly, that most people who go into the military do it primarily for patriotic reasons. The DHS/TSA types are completely different. I believe they do it for the money and power trip. They would not hesitate to knockdown doors and search residences while holding citizens at gun point. I think Boston and TSA behavior in general has proved that.
“You are a fool if you think that the bankers who are taking the money are not still pulling the string. Why are so many like you what to sleep or go back to sleep? Why can’t you face reality? Stop being so stupid.”
That was one retarded statement. I never said they weren’t pulling strings, moron. Try decaff next time.
