Obama destroying the USA to rebuild it in his own image?
By Sher Zieve
It's amazing to me that so many talking heads who seem befuddled as to what Obama is actually attempting to accomplish with his bound-to-fail stimulus bill cannot seem to see the forest for the trees. To put it another way, they cannot grasp what's actually happening to We-the-People at the hands of the developing 'Obama Emperium.' Shall we take a look at the events leading up to today? By the way, I mean the actual events — not the lies manufactured by the mainstream media and other of his sycophants to make the secular messiah Obama 'look good.' I say let's do!
In September 2003, then President Bush proposed that oversight of Fannie Mae be tightened. Congressional Democrats balked at the idea and vigorously opposed and blocked it. Then, in a 2006 bill, Senate Republicans created a bill calling for oversight of the Democrat-run corrupt Fannie Mae (and its partner organization Freddie Mac) US mortgage giant. At that time, those who ran Fannie Mae (again — ALL Democrats) had already been caught in an $11 billion accounting scandal. Tragically — for all of us — this bill was shelved. Wimpy Republicans actually wanted bi-partisanship and Democrats refused. Despite their protestations to the contrary, Democrats do not want bi-partisanship. This is an historical message that the now-liberal Republican Party leadership refuses to learn from or even acknowledge. Note: At this time the Democrat/Leftist-created financial catastrophe of 2008-2009 could have been brought to light and prevented. However, it appears that dark forces were at work to purposefully bring forth said disaster.
In September 2007, Fannie Mae began (the truly intelligent said inevitable) its two month downward spiral that would culminate in its November crash. Then, in September (September again — weird) 2008 a strange one to two hour electronic run on US banks to the tune of $550 billion was affected before authorities were able to put a stop to it. One Democrat — Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania said that if authorities had not closed the banks, $5 ½ TRILLION would have been withdrawn from US banks, which would have caused the collapse of the US and within 24 hours the collapse of the world's economic system. There are certainly those within our own government who know who and what were the perpetrators. But, no one is talking.
All of these deliberate actions brought forth the ammunition that the Left needed to make its contrived fake case that Communists and/or Fascists (they're now called Democrats) needed to be placed in charge and the US (if not the world) and that freedom — including any and all free market capitalism — had to be dumped in favor of implementing dictatorial controls. The creation of the fake "stimulus package" is the seizing of control of the country's financial resources and their redistribution to the power elite — not to you and me. The nationalization of banks is the seizure of the financial houses — for use by and of the governmental power elite — not for you and me. The "stimulus package" — which will result in the TOTAL theft of the country's resources — was never meant to stimulate anything save the Democrat power brokers and their friends. A dumbed-down population — aided by the election fraud group ACORN — assisted in "electing" GL ('great leader') Obama to the office of the US presidency (an individual whose US citizenship is still highly suspect). And within less than a month, Obama has succeeded in pushing the USA (using the largely Democrat-created economic crisis) toward Socialism. By the way, we who have been paying our mortgages are now expected to subsidize those who have not. The "flakes" are being rewarded for their failure and the able are being punished. What a way to destroy a country!
I predict that any real socialistic endeavors will be bypassed in favor of pure Marxism-Stalin style. Obama has already begun his plan to clamp down on free-speech with his adherents' resurrection of the inaptly named "Fairness Doctrine," which is meant to shut down conservative and Christian speech. Only Obama-speak is now acceptable. Obama's National Security Force — AKA Gestapo or Secret Police — is already being formed with his Defense Department Directive 1404.10 and according to Worldview Times "H.R. 645 that calls for no less than six federal camps to be built to house U.S. Citizens."
This is only the tip of the iceberg, folks. Obama and his minions have accomplished these in only one month after seizing office. Can those of you who still have a working mind see where this is leading? Are there still people out there who do NOT want to live in a totalitarian state? I further predict that within the next 2 months, Obama's Congressional adherents will arrange yet another "stimulus bill" in an attempt to confiscate the US' remaining wealth. The stock market continues to tank while Obama continues to tell us this is his country and his victory. The rest of us are only the worker-serfs who are expected to produce for the powerful in D.C. and shut up while we're doing it. Are any of you who were blind to Obama's real plan beginning to see again?

“He was talking about the worst deficit ever at $482 billion, not even half the size of this stimulus. “In January it was forecast by the Congressional Budget Office at $1.2 trillion. Pres. Obama’s new plan now ups that to $1.7 trillion,” three times the deficit that Obama inherited. “If W got the gold, the new Administration has landed the Platinum in just its qualifying heat. A couple of more interesting excerpts from this, but this is a great piece that chronicles the absolute fall, the fallout on the market, in the market since Obama was elected. It’s down over 2,000 points. You can chronicle each plunge with stated, announced, or completed Obama policy. The market is plunging. Investors are shorting it. They’re not putting money in the market. The economy is getting worse. This is being done on purpose, I believe, just as they are trying to sink the stock market.”
Great thread. This is amazing to me - the backlash already against an administration but one month old. We are witnessing the early rumblings of a very real and very serious revolt. That revolt could be cultural, political and simply the momentum needed to overcome the media and the Democrat socialism/race-baiting and throw these people out of office in 2010/2012. Or it could be much more than that...
Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun. Therefore, affected is correct in this sentence.
Thanks for reading, Kelly. I like Sher Zieve's syle of writing. She pulls no punches. Below is a link to another of her recent columns and a link to some of her other past works:
George W. Bush—the Last US President?
Semper Fidelis
thanks, I’ll chek it out
Daniel 8:25 as well..
Nope, "effect" is also a verb meaning "to bring about." Therefore, "effected" is the correct word for that sentence. Just FYI.
Who says the Repukes aren’t in on this as well? Everyone keeps saying the Republicans should do this or that, but they never do. Who says they aren’t on the Dems payroll themselves?
Doesn’t appear there is a sliver of difference between the two parties at this point.
Slander the other , feather their own nests, spend the schepples money and to hell with any fiscal responsabilty.
Took you long enough. That was 3 weeks ago. Affect means to bring about a change, which would apply to this sentence.
Yeah, sorry about the date, I didn’t notice it when I responded. I was just looking at results from a search on Obama threads.
However, you’re still incorrect. “Effect” is the correct word here.
“Then, in September (September again — weird) 2008 a strange one to two hour electronic run on US banks to the tune of $550 billion was effected before authorities were able to put a stop to it.”
In this sentence, “effected” has the meaning listed on Dictionary.com, definition #10, verb: “to produce as an effect; bring about; accomplish; make happen: The new machines finally effected the transition to computerized accounting last spring.”
“Affected” would make no sense in that sentence because it would have to be talking about something else that AFFECTED (somehow altered or changed) the two-hour electronic run on US banks, which was already in effect!
Don’t want to get into a war of words here, but I disagree.
OK, go ahead; it’s not a huge deal to me. I was simply providing a correction and explanation.
But just know, then, that you are not disagreeing with me — rather, you are disagreeing with the English language.
I happen toi do this for a living, as a supervisor of editing of a law journal, so I have no fears.
I forgot to mention that we use the Gregg Manual.
Why oh why can’t people see the truth? I was on a cruise ship once, talking to a lady from Jamaica at the treadmill. She admitted that what communism had done (to her country) and seeks to do, is, instead of there being more rich people, there will be more poor people, but that’s good because then at least everyone is miserable equally. That’s socialism/communism in a nut shell.
In order for the word "affected" to be correct in that sentence, the run on US banks would have to be affected by something. Affected by what?
"Effected" is the correct word here.
