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.
1. You mentioned, "Those who resist his rule by emergency decree will be declared to be “Tea Party terrorists” by Democrat leaders and their captive media". I submit to you that the Media is NOT captive, and never have been. They have been willing collaborators for generations. Note how several network celebrities even have family ties within the Spite House orbit. The Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column.
2. Without invoking Godwin's Law, the parallels between 20th Century Germany and 21st Century America are chillingly similar. So would be a comparison with 20th Century Russia, and 19th Century France; each scenario seeing the collapse of the established government system and the rise of a totalitarian terror.
3. You mention "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." I submit to you, yes they will. The recent popularity poll shows Odinga to be at 37% approval, with a 10% "no response". That's coincidentally the same 47% figure that Mitt Romney was quoted as saying would never vote for him. That translates as 155 million people across the land who will follow Odinga into the gaping gates of the gulag.
I do agree with the essay. We are seeing the oncoming storm - or is it the smoke rising from the enemy camp...
The day the music died.
I'm afraid you are right, just look at the violence and horror and loss that Liberals like Amanda Kijera, or the families of Rachael Corrie, Amy Elizabeth Biehl and Nick Berg went through and instead of blaming the perpetrators and/or their policies they instead still blame Bush, Conservatives and/or YT.
Liberalism is a mental disease and Liberals are a Cancer on the human race
Me too!
The armored personnel carriers and billions of rounds of ammo are not for trying to qwell riots, they are for moving and cleaning up what is left after the planned starvation, chaos, disease, and murdering have run their courses. People believing that a few thousand MRAPs and a few billion rounds of pistol ammo will be used to stop rioting and mayhem are completely clueless as to the real agenda afoot.
The one thing communists plan on is community organizing in that they expect millions will follow their orders, fall in line, and help them. They know they cannot control the nation on their own or just by using local or military resources. They know they must have the cooperation of millions of like minded communists. Force multipliers are a must with these communists. One agent sent in to create block captains and other “officials” are necessary.
They don’t need the deaths of millions to control the population. They only need the threat of extreme force to keep 90% of the people in check.
“They” cannot control a collapse, yet “they” are orchestrating it. With evil, starvation, disease, and murder are the agents of ‘change’, change like little barry bastard boy-king promised. When there is no food being produced, trucked and distributed, the notion of force multipliers is absurd. Look at the Ukraine under Stalin. And that was without a collapse of the Soviet.
This is correct and why troops will be ordered not to fire on the city mobs. Those mobs need to fan out to the suburbs to maintain the state of emergency. In many respects, the mobs are co-belligerents with the administration, the enemies within the gates.
Another thought, what if this is a perfect plan? Nobody thought Boner, McLame, and Linda would stand up to the prez. Why are they? Remember their little private lunches and dinners? What did they talk about? Could it be putting this plan together. A while back the tinfoil hat crowd said something big was going down the first week of October. Maybe it began the first week of October with the shutdown.
Without a blasting cap, detcord is useless. Just saying.
Yes. There will always be some bankers that still have skin in the game but the majority in power have taken their prize and left. I don’t see the extremely wealthy and powerful giving a damn about what happens now.

What I don't get is, where will they (top tier global elites) live when the world is in ashes? Even if they have a gorgeous island to retreat to, completely stocked with food and necessities for several years, they still would be dependent on food and supplies being flown in from various countries once their stash runs out. If countries are in flames (and this most likely would spread like wildfire worldwide) how could they possibly last more than a year or two at most, while they wait for farms and factories to start again? Are they just so sure that the US federal government will be able to quickly clamp down and turn the US into a police state before much chaos insues? I just don't understand what they could possibly be thinking, how this could ever be a good thing for the "elites".
I know. Studying for the assassins guild. Just call me TeAtime :).
Who says the banksters will be the one to pull any triggers?
Your essay is plausible. obama and the dems are systematically smearing the Tea Party in terms of criminality. I do not recall any previous president speaking in such terms. (I watched obama’s speech yesterday, and he compared the Tea Party/Republicans to various types of criminals at least a dozen times.) We are in uncharted territory, at least for the USA. All patriots should prepare for the worst.
Who controls the money supply or interest rates? I did.
Exactly. Their parachutes and lifeboats are ready (or so they think.) If anything, it benefits them to burn down the house and destroy the evidence, while blaming the fire on evil conservatives.
If there is any hope, that's it.
I just heard on the top of the hour radio news that veterans’ pension checks might not go out next month.
They are priming the pump for chaos, but veterans’ pension checks are just part of the camouflage.
While veterans might march on DC, the EBT crowd will be burning the city down.
The veterans will be blamed, of course.
I hope you’re right.
“They are trying to destroy western culture and instill something they do not understand, but what they also do not understand is that western culture has a reset button called ‘war’. We are not savages that wage war for greed like an African tinhorn dictator. We wage war for freedom and liberty and will do so again.”
It takes a lot to get us primed for war, or CW, but when we are primed, watch out!
