December 1944 --the Ardenne Forest in Belgium.
Adolf Hitler, in his most clandestine operation of the entire Second World War, had dispatched a small group of German commandos, led by Major Otto Skorzeny, on a secret mission deep behind Allied territory. All were wearing American uniforms.
Their move was being co-ordinated with the beginning of the German attack that was to be later called the "the Battle of the Bulge."
In the preceding 2 months, Major Skorzeny had scoured the German armed forces for those who spoke English.
Skorzeny had collected 1000 men, but less than 50 of them could speak American English perfectly with a working knowledge of slang. Most of them had either spent time in the United States, or were sailors from the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) who had worked as international seaman before the war.
Since Skorzeny had far fewer men than planned, it was decided to switch the force from a search & destroy mission to deception. So instead of being issued American weapons and fighting vehicles, the commandos were dressed in American MP (Military Police) uniforms.
They would succeed beyond Hitler's wildest imagination:
On December 15, three dozen Germans-- driving captured jeeps--infiltrated across American lines and wreaked havoc! The idea of German commandos disguised as MPs effectively paralyzed the ENTIRE American forces along the battlefront.
The phony MP's spread rumors, changed signposts, and created widespread panic.
Now, not only would U.S. troops have to deal with Germans attacking them from the front, but also had to worry that any man next to them might be an enemy in disguise.
Once this became known, word traveled fast among the Americans- trust NO ONE.
GI's began questioning everyone's home origin, right up to Gen. Omar Bradley, who's jeep was held up for a time by a squad of soldiers for answering..."the Chicago Cubs play in the American League".
But despite their daring and intrigue, the overall effect of the disguised Germans was minimal, and eventually, all the infiltrators were captured and executed by firing squad on 23 December, 1944.
Now 65 years later, America is faced with a group of political infiltrators, who wear street clothes and are mostly indistinguishable from your average American. They are disguised as census takers-- and they'll becoming to a neighborhood near you.
It's just the latest mission of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now.
These ACORN census "commandos" represent an elite. They were not recruited out of halfway houses, prisons, and homeless shelters like their predecessors, but rather are ex college students who have been unable to qualify for private sector employment.
Over the last 20 years, ACORN has managed to effectively paralyze the political opposition through false voter registrations, and have now swung the political wars far in favor of the left.
And like the German commandos at "the Bulge"-- ACORN has succeeded far beyond Commander Barack Obama's wildest expectations.
Back in the late 80's, Ms. Madeleine Talbot-- who at the time was a leader at Chicago ACORN-- hired Obama as their head lawyer. Since then, Obama has used ACORN to get himself elected as an Illinois state senator, and then to the US senate, and finally-- to the Whitehouse as President.
ACORN supposedly is a national volunteer organization that has occasionally received federal funding.
But in reality, ACORN is like a cult-- the most brilliant criminal entity in US history-- actually getting taxpayer funding to commit voter fraud. And Obama is at the evil heart of this gang of sociopaths.
ACORN's ultimate goal is the enactment of a national, election-day voter registration, which would mark the death knell for fair elections in America . It would enable ACORN to accomplish 3 months of dirty work in in just one day-- a literal bonanza of phony voter registrations to subvert all future elections.
But how has ACORN managed to stay out of legal trouble? If they are out to subvert the American political process, why haven't they been stopped?
Of course the real answer, as always, lies in following the money:
This year-- with the backing of liberal majorities in the House and Senate-- Barney Frank made sure ACORN became "eligible" for funds from the $800 billion Stimulus Bill. Honest Barney managed to sneak a provision for a $4 billion 'slush fund' that the corrupt activist organization can use for...well, whatever.
And now, ACORN has been recruited by Mr. Obama for a far more sophisticated mission than just "simple" voter fraud-- domestic spying on individual Americans-- creating a national data base that could be used for anything from voter intimidation to IRS audits.
And what could be a better way for accomplishing this than by presenting these agents as "harmless" census takers .
Obama-- if anything --is nothing short of brilliant.
So true to form, 3000 dutiful census workers are now distributed out in the field in Virginia and four other states, busy at building "address lists" that will comprise the mailings for the 2010 Census forms.
To defer suspicion, Obama has unformed them quite properly: They wear official identification badges and blazers, and carry a SPECIAL large Blackberry.
Nevertheless, local residents have been calling local law enforcement agencies, having been un-nerved by their probing questions that would brand them more like spies, than someone taking the census.
Residents are being asked "how many toilets you have in your home". They are being questioned about political party affiliations; work information; economic information, and even about firearms ownership-- or the real eye-opener..."'do you keep your savings in your home, or in a bank?"
So is this a census survey, or just a down-home, everyday Soviet-style KGB inquisiiton? Could this be an attempt to isolate conservatives and tag them as 'dissenters', or eventual political prisoners?
What better way to trap the unsuspecting to reveal not just the names of people residing there, but additional personal information that may someday be used against them.
Citizens have reported seeing strangers standing near the street, doing something with a "camera thing" in their hand, followed by a persistent knocking at their doors.
But in realty, these census commandos are busy mapping out all of the locations of all of the possible dwellings on everyone's property, such as garages, barns, and sheds, and then noting exact locations of front doors with the internal GPS function of their Blackberrys.
Obviously Obama has given them rather precise instructions: If it looks like it can be lived in, they are to map it! That includes ANY structure with signs of life.
So if they see a hobo sleeping under an underpass, they will map that location, and tally it up so Obama can have every last bit of ammunition to redraw the voting district lines, and disenfranchise all people he thinks are not democrats.
Clever? It's an tactic Obama has used before-- political gerrymandering.
Obama, as a State Senator, used the 2000 census to as a means of redistricting, to disenfranchise all the non-Black voters he could in Illinois, and it helped to get him re-elected for his 2nd term.
So for 2010, Obama is is taking the unprecedented step of requiring the Census Director to report directly to Rahm Emanuel in White House, conveniently circumventing the job that has always been the responsibility of the Secretary of Commerce.
So armed with all this new data, if the White House thinks there's not enough of certain groups shown in an area, they'll just add more 'ghost individuals," which will add more Congressional representative positions, creating an ever- larger democratic supermajority in the House.
And since Obama needed field reps who were experts at creating these ghost individuals--ergo--he selected ACORN.
Not only will the census (and the invisible people that ACORN will add into it) be used to gerrymander voting district lines, Obama can use it to earmark more federal funds for areas that show more people, and create more Democrat strongholds to further stack the deck against the republicans.
And If an area has a huge number of illegal aliens, they can be granted a new representative position in Congress (reps are granted on basis of population numbers, not number of citizens).
And if anyone dare challenge the Commander in Chief, he can contend that no one should be "undercounted" (the dis-enfranchisement argument).
So all urban population totals will now be adjusted UPWARD in all the cities, guaranteeing these newly-created districts will always be represented in Washington by democrats.
And just for future reference, Obama could unleash his secret weapon--the IRS audit--to threaten anyone who foolishly has revealed any personal financial information.
It was early in his political career that Barack Obama learned that politics is a batttlefield, and one must be willing to stop at nothing to win.
So just as Hitler used his trusted Major Skorzenzy to lead his precision-trained commandos, so has Obama employed the Machiavellian Rahm Emanuel to train his legion of ACORN cultists, and send them out on his own secret mission.
And if you happen to glance out the window, and see a stranger staring at your house, holding something that looks like a camera, could they be a criminal, or just a representative of the U.S. Census Bureau?
But just as the G.I's were quick to learn at the Battle of the Bulge...trust no one.

I’m printing that our for memorization.
“The questions on the long form are there because of legislation duly enacted into law by the Congress and signed by the President. Though the ire of citizens is being directed at the Bureau, the Bureau itself says that the Congress is to blame. The Census Bureau is looking to find ways to collect the data on the long form in other manners, such as polling and sampling. Though there is a possible $100 fine for failing to file with the Census, the Bureau also notes that no one has been penalized for failing to file in the past. The fine is more of a psychological reminder of the importance of the census than a source of income for the government.”
***So the constitution is only looking for a number but because the President signed a bill requiring the long form to be completed, we’re supposed to believe that’s constitutional? If we don’t fill out the long form, how do we know “they” won’t do it for us?
He is anything but brilliant. People need to understand obama and his minions,are not intellectually superior! They are brain washed,ignorant,desperate LOOSERS! We all have options. We sold our home 3 years ago and made the decision to rent. Therefore,we can always move! We will move if we feel targeted.
I will not lie. Will answer only questions the pertain to quantifying persons that live here. Also I own a Blackberry,and have for 4 years. I will have my Blackberry in my hand! I will put a gps bead on them! If on my property I will take pictures of the census minion and their vehicle. I can also record the inquisition without them knowing! I am positive my expertise in operating a Blackberry is superior to theirs!
Please tell me you are drunk.
No I am not drunk! Why would you as such a question? BTW..are you?
The precedent is there for abuse.
Chilling.
I have NO DOUBT your expertise in operating a Blackberry is superior to any ACORN BO-Nut! I have only read of a very few Freepers who have been visited by census takers. We have not had any come to our door....or know of any of our neighbors who have either.
“No I am not drunk! Why would you ask such a question? BTW..are you?”
All I know is if an ACORN census taker comes to your door they will surely WISH they stayed home with their booze, pot or whatever!:)
I compare ACORN to Hare Krishna's!
; )
BTTT
Stop it, you're killing me. :^)
They were at bmahead’s door last month....marking it with GPS.
Why, don’t you have a door?
We ALL have much to fear with the Dems in power, but let's read everything with a grain of salt. There already are GPS coordinates for our homes now. I use a GPS to drive; all I'd have to do is punch in your address for directions. If you'd want a closer look at a house, all you'd have to do is check the satellite picture available to anyone online.
So, I don't see why the feds have to go through the trouble of obtaining information already available to everyone...?
We shouldn't trust the census without questioning it; and I'm angry that the gov't is spending money on unnecessary GPS handhelds for census workers. But, we shouldn't trust these types of articles without question, either.
LOL! Good one!
