Hi. I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Barack Obama is going rogue. By every metric, the Obama economy is melting down. We are seeing the beginning stages of another recession, at best, or a total economic meltdown, at worst.
At the moment, there are no decent-paying jobs in America. Obama has opened the border and given amnesty to at least 5 million illegal aliens already in the country, thereby putting them in competition with working-class and middle-class Americans.
Think I’m wrong? Did you know the government is giving businesses a $3,000 incentive to hire illegals over native-born Americans?
Did you know cities are hiring illegal aliens as policemen? Someone here illegally can wear a badge and enforce the law against you.
Did you think the border crisis was over? Obama’s amnesty has encouraged a new wave of poverty-stricken illegals at the border.
And in a bankrupt nation with more than $18 trillion in debt, Obama has used amnesty to give illegals access to food stamps, free healthcare, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, earned income tax credits. And by issuing drivers’ licenses and Social Security cards, they will be able to vote immediately (because States don’t have the technology to tell the difference between a legal citizen or a noncitizen).
The Obamacare fiasco gets worse by the day. The middle class is being bankrupted by skyrocketing increases in their health insurance premiums; hospitals are being bankrupted by the flood of illegal aliens accessing services; and the economy will drown in the new debt caused by Obamacare.
Obama’s claim that ISIS is on the run is a proven fraud, ripped bare by America’s embarrassing military withdrawl from Yemen.
Obama is going nuclear in his hatred for Bibi Netanyahu and Israel, force-feeding the world a weak nuclear agreement with Iran that is so bad, even France is fighting for stronger sanctions. Meanwhile, Obama threatens to become the first president in history to abandon Israel at the United Nations.
But I haven’t gotten to the bad part yet. Is it possible the terrible news about the economy, the border, ISIS and Israel is all just a distraction? Because the really important news is that Obama has created a modern-day version of “the Gestapo.”
The Obama government is using an initiative called “Operation Chokepoint” to force legal businesses it doesn’t like out of business, by threatening and intimidating banks and credit card processors.
At the same time, the Obama government is urging banks to call the police to report citizens who withdraw $5,000 or more from their own bank accounts. Yes, I said banks are urged to call the police when you withdraw your own money.
This comes at the same time that FEMA announced it will no longer provide FEMA disaster relief funds to states whose governors deny “climate change.”
And let’s not forget Obama used an FCC party-line vote to take over the Internet and institute sweeping new changes to a system that is working perfectly as the form of communication for most Americans.
Obama’s first goal is clearly massive new taxes on Internet usage, just another way to destroy the middle class and redistribute income. But is his real goal is controlling communications on the Internet — specifically the anti-Obama criticism and anti-government message so prevalent on the Internet.
But let’s circle back to the most Gestapo-like Obama initiative ever. It’s called “Operation Chokepoint.” This is your government’s attempt to put morality controls (just like those in Iran) on the American public by shutting down gun stores, precious metals companies, casinos, tobacco distributors, telemarketers and short-term money lenders.
How can they close legal businesses you ask? By threatening and intimidating banks and credit card processors to close accounts for businesses the government doesn’t like. Just like an Iranian ayatollah, if Obama doesn’t like your business, he will “choke off” your ability to stay in business. Hence the name, “Operation Chokepoint.”
Never forget Obama has been on a six-year-long relentless crusade to raise our taxes and take away our tax deduction for charitable donations, choking off contributions to churches. Yes, Obama is trying to “choke off” the funding that keeps churches in business, too.
Why is this happening? First, because Obama despises capitalism. He needs to put prosperous businesses out of business. By murdering the middle class’ ability to prosper, he creates his utopia of equality (i.e., “shared misery”), making everyone dependent on government in a classless, socialist society. Think Cuba and Venezuela.
Second, there is an obvious reason Obama hates these particular industries. The subtitle of my 2009 book, “The Conscience of a Libertarian,” says it all. The subtitle was “Empowering the Citizen Revolution with God, Guns, Gold, Gambling & Tax Cuts.” Is it a coincidence that virtually every item I mentioned is under attack?
The businesses on the list of “Operation Chokepoint” are all dominated by people that Obama would describe as capitalists, patriots, conservatives, Tea Partiers, Christians and supporters of the Constitution. Not coincidently, those are the same groups targeted by Obama in the IRS scandal.
And then, of course, if Obama can’t close your business or “choke off” your ability to prosper, he can force banks to call the police if you dare to withdraw money from your own account.
Folks, this is eerily reminiscent of the Gestapo, or the Soviet KGB, or the East German Stasi. Is this the America you want? The NSA spying on your every move, the federal government in charge of your healthcare and now your free speech on the Internet, the IRS auditing enemies and critics of the government, the federal government forcing legal businesses they deem “unacceptable” out of business, and banks spying on their own customers and being forced to call the police when customers withdraw too much of their own money.
Yes, under Barack Hussein Obama, the Gestapo is alive and well in the former “Land of the Free.”
Going? You mean up till now he's been a stickler for Roberts' Rules of Order?
Actually, I'm pretty sure that's been the case for quite some time.
One of Bubba's or Dubya's brainchilds (brainchildren)?
It is long past time to stand against tyranny. Let this be ground zero.
Obama is the equivalent of Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz and the USA is his airliner
Fed requires mandatory reports of 10 G’s or more....Any thing under is voluntary and if your fi institution practices this you need to switch another
Afterwards Squealer made a round of the farm and set the animals' minds at rest. He assured them that the resolution against engaging in trade and using money had never been passed, or even suggested. It was pure imagination, probably traceable in the beginning to lies circulated by Snowball.
A few animals still felt faintly doubtful, but Squealer asked them shrewdly, "Are you certain that this is not something that you have dreamed, comrades? Have you any record of such a resolution? Is it written down anywhere?" And since it was certainly true that nothing of the kind existed in writing, the animals were satisfied that they had been mistaken.
Americans still have too much to lose. Not sure what the spark will be that ignites the powder keg, but average everyday Americans feel it, talk about it.
America has become more oppressive toward it’s citizens, particularly the middle class.
Pretty wild times.
Did you know cities are hiring illegal aliens as policemen? Someone here illegally can wear a badge and enforce the law against you.
Are these truths, or a stretch of the truth to fit the narrative, as frequently done by the left? For instance, there may be a $3k hiring incentive I'm not aware of, but does it state "illegals over native-born" (or similar language) or is it just that they don't check for legal residence in the process? Same question with police hiring.
My reason for posing these questions is that if we knowingly state things that are not quite true, we become THEM, and I don't like that. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is just as effective ("The programs do not require the applicants to be checked for legal residence, causing illegals to be hired over Americans in some cases").
Donning flameproofs now...
“At the moment, there are no decent-paying jobs in America.”
Oh, bulls**t. See, this is the kind of ridiculous hyperbole that makes everything after it suspect. If Root wants to make a point, and it’s a good one, he needs to MAKE it, not preface it with stupid statements.
Agreed. That caught my eye as well.
This country is a powder keg. My best friend who is an attorney called me not long ago and asked me “when did Civil War get to be acceptable cocktail conversation?” We laughed but its the truth. You can’t go to the grocery story without people making comments. Its everywhere.
Frankly I thought the Bundy Ranch was going to be the candle that lit it off but we are just one incident away. too many Americans are awake and are patriots to just let this country slide away. If congress does not do something pretty soon the general public will do it for them and its not going to be pretty.
Personally I think that Barky is going to get a little too brave at some point and think its time to come after the guns. That will be his worst mistake.
"No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanely directed in the first instance. And this would nip opinion in the bud; it would stop criticism as it reared its head, and it would gather all the power to the supreme party and the party leaders, rising like stately pinnacles above their vast bureaucracies of Civil servants, no longer servants and no longer civil. And where would the ordinary simple folk – the common people, as they like to call them in America – where would they be, once this mighty organism had got them in its grip?"
-- Winston Churchill, The First Conservative Election Broadcast, 4 June 1945.

While this IS satire, the fact is it's NOT exactly incorrect. Illegals are allowed to get jobs as cops as long as they get the paperwork completed in 3 years after becoming LAPD.
HOWEVER...... The delay for getting the citizenship processed can take much longer than 3 years and police departments DO NOT fire officers waiting for not having papers back as INS can delay it.
So you do have officers unsure if they're ever going to be citizens enforcing laws against legal nationalized and born citizens of the US.
That we even have to ask the question is insane.
As long as we have these spineless, gutless, whores, that still has the nerve to call themselves “REPUBLICANS”, nothing will change in Washington. If we could take their shirts off, all we’ll see are “FOR SALE” signs tattooed on their backs. They are so afraid of their own shadows, that we may as well have 60 republican politicians wearing OBAMA masks
Call these useful idiots what they truly are: careerists.
I triple dog dare the guy to begin confiscation. Oh, that would be priceless.
Tell ya, went to gun show a couple of time over the last few years. When I entered, the first vendor was folks selling ammo. Cases and cases of various calibers.
I told the guy I’d come back...walked the tables, came back and he was damn near sold out.
Made me proud!
