A Republican Congress (especially if the Senate also makes it over the hump) can withhold funds for enforcing certain laws. The USSC has declared this OK.

And the folks who complain about it can’t all be hauled by Waxman into a Congressional inquisition. There will just be too many.

The trick: HAVE IT. Don’t “virtually” have it where a third party can (read: bank, in all variations) be coerced into “compliance” with confiscation. Physical possession will become paramount.

The commie hits just keep on comin’!

But I’m sure there’s someone out there who can help us in our denial by telling us “it’s happened before”, “it’s no big deal”, “we’re already doing something similar”, “we’ve faced worse”, yada, yada, yada.

This country is falling down the commie sh*thole and Americans are busy trying to act like nothing is happening.

Pathetic slaves in the making.

Wake up ya bunch of dumb-*sses—the commies are at the door.

>it is designed to stop tax cheats like mafia bosses, gamblers, drug dealers and other money launderers.

That is exactly the claim put forth for making it illegal for a felon to possess a firearm. {Or even ammunition.}

It flies in the face of all prior [American] jurisprudence, wherein if one has served their sentence they are free and have all rights & privileges restored.

>If you have properly paid your taxes, the government shouldn’t be able to stop you from investing abroad.

Oy vey! The tax code is at LEAST 40,000 PAGES long; and then there’s modifiers like this law laying around. If they want to find that you haven’t “properly paid” your taxes then they will.

Oh, Lord give us someone who will face these bastards and fight them like they are fighting us.

Save us from the GOP.

>The only conclusion i come up with is [snip] that our government’s finances are far worse off than we know. Far worse than the rating agencies, our trade partners and those supporting us by buying our debt know as well.

I’m willing o bet real money... wait, let’s make that viable Quinoa seed, that such is the case.

Given that the screwy ‘math’ [well accounting & definitions] they use to ‘budget’ is STILL not enough to paint over the true picture any longer, I’d say it’s a pretty solid ‘bet’.

Candor7 - I read this article on 4/1 and copied and emailed a comment from a poster there to someone on 4/2 in the morning. I saw your post of it and thought I'd go ahead and link to the post because it was so unusual and IT IS GONE - no trace of it.

Fortunately, I saved it and can post it here (the poster's screen name was something like three card sloth):

"I don't expect things to change for the better anymore. There is a reason behind the larger events and trends in today's world, and those who understand and follow that reason will not let things go in any other direction.

Do you think that the West's leaders suddenly became stupid, corrupt and/or venal in the last 50 years? No, there have always been good and bad in our capitals; today is no different.

Do you think that Japan suddenly forgot everything that built them before 1990, and just can't get it together nowadays? Doubtful.

So then, what's going on? Why are all of the advanced nations declining while jobs and wealth are funneled into the third world?

The answer begins July 16th, 1945. The Trinity test in New Mexico.

With the development of the a-bomb, and later the far more powerful h-bomb, the best and brightest who advise presidents and prime ministers came to a rather logical conclusion: In a world where a single device can destroy a city, we can't live in a world of "haves" and "have nots".

Knowledge and technology will not stay contained. The bright boys figured out that eventually, the ability to make these bombs would end up in the hands of the undeterable among us... those with nothing to lose. And then the world would start losing cities.

So they decided that the world would have to be re-engineered. We couldn't have anybody with nothing to lose anymore. At first, they tried bringing the bottom up. For two or three decades up until the 70's they tried to spread knowledge and skills to the third world, but this effort was largely futile, most of the lessons didn't take.

That left them with one choice -- bring the top down and the bottom up by directly transferring whole industries overseas. Hollow out the West (and the East if they grew too big like Japan) for the sake of humanity.

They obviously couldn't announce this agenda, the masses might object. But they sure got really good at selling the idea in Washington, London, Brussels, et al... 'cause every leader of every party starts following their plan as soon as they get any real power.

Why do you think that every Western nation keeps on exporting their jobs? Blind belief in free trade? Nah... insurance payment that (hopefully) will deter a future madman with a bomb.

Why do you think that every Western nation refuses to deal with their economic problems and growing deficits? Political logjams? A little, but mostly in the name of managed decline.

Why do you think that the leaders of every Western nation jumped onto the AGW bandwagon? A growing green awareness? Nah... wealth transfer and goodwill payments to the third world.

Why do you think that every Western nation suddenly decided to import millions from the third world? More labor? Nah... they are unwitting future human shields against aggression from their old countries.

I think this is the reason that the great global forced leveling is ongoing, and the reason no one seems to want to stop it: Fear.

Nothing but the potential death of millions can explain why leaders of every stripe abandon their beliefs, left, right, and center, as soon as they reach the top. None of them behave any different from the other, and convergences like this don't occur by accident. There is a goal, there is a plan, and it is seen by them as more important than your hopes, dreams, or living standards.

Nuclear blackmail and the deaths of millions is the only agenda I can see that's big enough, universal enough, to command such allegiance from our leaders."

This comment caught my eye because throughout this whole BO nightmare starting with all DC pols, SCOTUS, SOS in all the states, etc. ignored Obama's lack of bona fides, his czars and on and on and I have wondered what in the hell could have scared or corrupted all of them who, by ignoring it, have dumped us in the sh#t.

Luckily there is another reference to the above post on another web site forum; a "MRBIGMUTTS" who is commenting on this same article you posted and is urging everyone to read the guy's comments so he saw it, too.

VERY ODD that it is gone. What's your take on this?

P.S. Husband and I (I am American) are not in US and are getting contacted by wealthy Americans about buying real estate in our area so the word is getting around now.

Obama’s not a socialist: he’s a crony capitalist!

Yes! But you will never get the unwashed-masses to understand what you are saying. They have been brained-washed by propaganda from the "conservative" media and have hedged all of their bets on the idea that Obama is a socialist/Marxist.

After I had my revelation - when I realized that Obama was not a socialist, I tried to convey the point to people that Obama is a puppet of political Opportunist, who practice Opportunism. Opportunist will allow the peasants to label them any, and all "isms" because it only helps their cause to Confuse, Divide, and Conquer the masses in order to reach their goal of a complete takeover of America, her people, and her resources.

Sadly, Ma and Pa Kettle still scream "Obama is a socialist" because they believe they are trying to save their country; when in actuality, they are playing into the hands of the crony capitalist.

At first the Tea Party was a show of force; but now they have been given just enough rope to hang themselves and America.

You are assuming that electing different people will change anything. The reason we have the Dems in office now is because the Republicans screwed up so badly when they were in charge.

Maybe the Republicans have learned their lesson, but I doubt it. Most politicians are only concerned about their own power, wealth, and privileges. Why we continue to believe their phony promises is beyond me.

Because "we have the people" have been conditioned through education and propaganda to BELIEVE in them.

It is NOT beyond you to break free from the conditioning and look for the truth because from your comment you already understand that politicians are only concerned about their own power, wealth, and privileges.
