They were, of course, also saying we need to move to direct democracy.
Direct democracy is what the Occupukes want; aka as mob rule, the French Revoultion, Lord of the Flies, etc.
Go right ahead.
The case of Lt. Col. Lakin strongly supports the assertions made in Post 10.
This guy’s got some big smarts....AND....the site’s worth the trip!
I don’t know how successful OWS would be in infiltrating the military, but it can be done. al-Qaeda did it with Nidal Hassan.
Honestly, I don’t have an answer for this. This is creepy!
Good stuff, great blog!
Jones has let the cat out of the bag. Occupy Oakland/Wall Street is the Cloward and Piven strategy, out on the streets. Overload and collapse the system.
Check out terrific article.

It seemed pretty obvious.
Being a natural born citizen is as nonpartisan as the color of one’s eyes. It is a natural state of being and has absolutely nothing to do with one’s political party.
1) Our very highest military should peacefully and legally seek certifiable clarification from congress and the courts. Both congress and the courts have the subpeona power to legally and peacefully obtain that clarification.
2) If that avenue is blocked, for whatever reason, they can legally and peacefully hold a very public legal and peaceful press conference, explain that certifiable evidence of Obama’s eligibility has been withheld, and then resign. The the next level of officers should be prepared to do the same.
3 Rinse and repeat steps one and two..
Our brave and honorable and highly trained troops deserve a legitimate Commander in Chief who issues rational rules of engagements and who does NOT support political factions, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, that are enemies of the U.S. and dedicated to killing Americans and our soldiers.
Maybe it is because I really really really ***care*** that our honorable, brave, and highly trained troops serve under a legitimate Commander in Chief who issues rational rules of engagement and isn't supporting factions dedicated to killing them.
Maybe it is because I love the Constitution...ALL of it, even that itty bitty Article 2, Section 1.
Maybe because I love America.
According to your post #5 you wrote “The military is, at this point the last bastion of machinery that the progressives have not totally corrupted. If you’ve ever asked yourself the question as to why it is that they hate the military so much, you’re living the answer right now. Here it is. The military is a protection against the tyranny of a revolution.”
In the eyes of a Leftist there would be no wars if the military did not exist. Warriors are part of the cause of wars in the minds of the Leftist idiot. Borders, Sovereignty, Capitalism, and the rest of the usual torqued reasons as well, but they actually believe this.
They are trying to reach out to the warriors they despise so damned much to use them for their purpose as they, the Left use people in many a hideous manner to achieve their goals of power, and I might add that power they wish to achieve is for totally self serving purpose, but that’s another discussion.
IMO total corruption was achieved with the allowance of Homosexuality to the military. The Left corrupted the military to the point many a fine warrior, protector of the people of this Nation will be signing out as their time is up, and many more that had considered the Military a career will not now participate.
The big problem with “infiltrating the military” is that just about everything the military does, in training and practice, goes against leftist theory.
The reason for this is an odd one. Leftists have long known that the military is actually a more “socialist” organization than society as a whole, because it has to be. It *has* to have conformity in appearance, behavior, logistics, and purpose. Everything in the military is in shortage, so everything must be rationed.
But this is terribly confusing to leftists, because the military is like a socialist “state”. It is not “revolutionary”, it is “counterrevolutionary”. For someone to be a radical in the military means that they are *not* elevated, but are insubordinate and rejected. True socialism does not tolerate what leftists sell.
But leftists may have finally figured this out. So in typical fashion, if they cannot actually *do* something, which is more often the case than not, they *pretend* to do it.
“We (leftists) are already infiltrating the military”, they brag.
And I’ll note that this comes on the heels of the FBI report of “gang” infiltration into the US military, which has to be one of the sillier efforts of the FBI to frighten congress into giving the FBI more money. Seriously, Juggalos? Likely the FBI would more than like to horn in to military activities, to which the Pentagon has long told the FBI to take a hike.
But seriously, leftists infiltrating the military probably peaked with PFC Bradley Manning, who is now likely to spend the rest of his natural life either in Fort Leavenworth, or ADX Florence.
The history of the twentieth century is strewn with their killing fields. So how do the worst get on top? How do these killers, these monsters, acquire what they should never in a million years get their hands on the apparatus of the state? Theyve got help, and lots of it. They are Antonio Gramscis heirs and disciples. The Lefts useful idiots. Heres a little bit of their background:
1. Wishful thinkers (and the mentally lazy) dont these people just wish that the world was a nicer place? If only everyone were just as smart, just as clever, just as enlightened as they think they are, it surely would be, wouldnt it? Wishful thinkers and those like them arent really up to doing the heavy lifting to achieve their utopia, but they surely do vote and applaud into power those whom they believe will usher in the New Age. The trouble is, those they empower typically have an agenda that doesnt quite match that of our dreamers. And no one is more surprised than they are when it all goes bad and the body count their body count - mounts up.
2. Coercive utopians they have a lot in common with our wishful thinkers, but they know that no one is going to do what it takes to usher in the new millennium, the New Man or that immanent eschaton. But theres a problem: put the sort of totalitarian regime necessary to achieve those goals - that is, socialism/communism and all of its imperatives and consequences - right out on the table in front of everyone, and no sane individual would buy it. Who would actively and openly cheer for the impoverishment and enslavement of humankind and the mass murder of those who wont go along with it? The hard Left, thats who, and theyve said as much - but thats beside the point for now.
The hallmark of coercive types is that they tend to be fairly bloody-minded. For example, Billy Ayers (0bama's good buddy andadvisor) and his wrecking crew thought that once they achieved power would have to slaughter over 25 million Americans too stubborn to toe their utopian socialist line that was back in the 1970s so were actually giving him a bit of a discount on that 25 million figure. But whats a few million here and there? Eric Hobsbawm, Marxist historian (now theres an oxymoron) has also said as much in a BBC interview where he allowed as to how the sacrifice of millions would have been worth it in order to achieve socialism. So is a little slaughter and a re-education camp or two or 10 not too much a price to pay for heaven on Earth? Not for the coercive utopians. Not by half.
3. Lord of the flies now were at the top of the pyramid of power, and those driven by that insatiable will to power. These are the ones who, once they achieve absolute power, really make things happen. And weve got over 260 million dead in this century and the last one to prove it. Now, lets say that again thats 260 million unarmed civilian non-combatants killed by their own governments. They were murdered by those exercising the power of the state. They were starved, gassed, tortured, shot, impaled, burned alive, drowned, frozen to death, hacked apart with hoes, axes and machetes a litany of brutality and atrocity beyond human imagination. Hundreds of millions more lived their lives enslaved, impoverished and in despair. Communism, socialism, the immanent eschaton who cares? Ideology is only the particular horse they ride in pursuit of absolute control of mankind.
Those who are driven by the will to power typically disguise their intentions under the guise of achieving the greatest good for the greatest number or under the rubrics of social or economic justice. They may claim that they are doing the business of the people or that they are acting according to the will of the people. The statement, Its for the children, should inspire instant disbelief and skepticism. When it has come to creating the New Socialist Man, or immanentizing that eschaton or ushering in that New Age, those who advance such arguments remain untroubled by the oceans of blood they would have to spill and the mountains of corpses they would have to pile up in order to realize their dreams. They are all animated by the unrestrained and unappeasable will to power. The Will to Power plays itself out at all levels. From the malice or indifference of the petty bureaucrat to the most savage and demonic mass murderers of recent times. As we have seen, power and the exercise of that power is more addictive than any drug.
The need is insatiable. The result is horror.
So where are our modern so-called progressives in all of this? Heres my question for a proud progressive: If youre a follower or apologist for todays political and social multiculturalism, an adherent of liberal democracy, or believe that our culture can continue without a basis in moral absolutes, which camp do you suppose you belong in? Are you a cynical but clever elitist intoxicated by the will to power? Are you on to the deception but support it out of pathological spite? Or are you simply ignorant of your role in the intentional destruction of your culture, even if you think you know what's best for the rest of us?
Finally, heres a purely practical consideration for all you precious 'progressives' out there: you may want to re-think your premises, because you are not likely to survive the consequences of the very bad ideas youre advocating. History is my witness.
Thanks for the ping!
That’s very good. Thanks. I recognized people in different categories. Let’s spread it wide and far.
Do, please. We must have no illusions as to the nature of our opponents or the struggle we face.
Maybe you could post a source that outlines the Constitutional role of the military in certifying elections. I’m not familiar with that part.
Exacellent reply.
