The October Surprise. We all know it's coming. In what shape, idea, form -- who's to say? Evil always surprises. Its goals are constant, the ultimate objective never changes, but inevitably it manifests itself as the savior of the day, the savior of man. The 2008 Democrat October Surprise that ushered in the first hardcore radical post-American president in American history was the "economic collapse." Oh yes, that was a beaut.
The time before that, the moochers and the looters tried to fake Bush documents -- except that the conservative blogosphere caught them red-handed, so they missed their mark.
But the party of haters, infiltrators, anti-capitalists, the party that is anti-freedom and anti-individual rights, is going to have to pull off something really catastrophic to stay in power this November. And they will, because it is abundantly clear now that they despise the premise of America and they mean to replace it with statism, the source of untold, incomprehensible human misery for centuries.
Ayn Rand wrote of statism that
a statist system -- whether of a communist, fascist, Nazi, socialist or 'welfare' type -- is based on the ... government's unlimited power, which means: on the rule of brute force. ... Under statism, the government is not a policeman, but a legalized criminal that holds the power to use physical force in any manner and for any purpose it pleases against legally disarmed, defenseless victims.
With chilling prescience, Rand said, "The basic principle and the ultimate results of all statist doctrines are the same: dictatorship and destruction. The rest is only a matter of time."
Only a matter of time.
We have a long and terrible fight in front of us. The fight is as big as the idea, the foundation, the being of this great nation, the fight for America. Yes, it's as big as all that, and the enemy is ruthless, unscrupulous, and evil -- and willing to do whatever it takes to assume absolute control. They build nothing, produce nothing, create nothing, invent nothing. They steal. They demand. They demoralize. They are destroyers.
What will October's Surprise be? Political analyst Jack Wheeler has an idea. "A Second Great Depression," he says, "is the Democrat Party's path to power":
Our country is faced with an impending economic catastrophe, a Second Great Depression. It is being brought about on purpose by a political party that cares only for keeping and expanding its power, and looks upon prosperity as a threat to that power.
You think the Democrats aren't really that bad? Think again. Wheeler points out that they're "now being threatened with being thrown out of power." And what did they do when faced with a loss of power the last time? "If that party is evil enough and fascist enough to cause an economic catastrophe," Wheeler says, "it is certainly evil and fascist enough to cause a physical catastrophe, an Ultimate October Surprise, that will frighten and enrage voters enough to preserve its power in November."
Wheeler speculates that this could take the form of "another 9/11, a massively horrific terrorist attack, perhaps even nuclear." Or it could involve Obama's obvious and gross mishandling of the Gulf oil crisis, the full extent of which is (of course) being covered up in the lapdog media. And whom would the Democrats blame for whatever crisis they trump up? Whom else? The attack will be used, Wheeler suggests, "to raise suspicion about the dangerous Tea Party people and anyone who is 'anti-government,' enough for people to rally around their Zero-led government in fear and confusion." And it will ultimately provide "further rationales for emergency government powers."
Could this really happen? Well, we know there have been October Surprises in the past, and each election ups the ante. We have to make sure this doesn't happen. We are Americans. We are free people. We must resist. As one reader of my website, AtlasShrugs.com, wrote to me, "the political tools of truth, exposure, ridicule, disparagement, impeachment, criminal prosecution, and politically-incorrect anger must be added to our arsenal of peaceful weapons against tyranny. ... We must make history by living our freedom, or surely we will die."
And we have seen the Democratic Party decimate our health care system, banking industry, and automobile sector, and introduce sharia (Islamic) finance into the public sector. They are capable of anything.
Yes. And there is some comfort to be found in the fact that decent, rational men, statesmen, exist and speak the truth. They represent our last hope, a vestige of reason and sanity in this era of the modern barbarian. These are the men who need to take the reins of their respective nations. Bolton 2012: The stakes couldn't be higher.
“Barry ain’t no Lincoln.”
Barry will split us down the middle, precipitate a civil war and sure as shite...he is happy to suspend the Constitution and command States to suspend their right of self determination and freedom to pass laws and govern according to their own laws, right or wrong. And he will do it in the name of preserving the right of all persons to “share the wealth” whether they have earned it or not.
the BC mysteriously appears in Matt Drudge’s mailbox and Hillary announces her 2012 campaign committee
The feds have NO ability to cancel elections.
I suspect even the dim bulb BHO knows this.
The SCOTUS will end up administering the oath to those red state peeps so they can take their seats.
That’s why I find the FReeper threads about cancelling the elections so laughable.
No president, not even the idiot in chief, can get away with it.
Obama must bomb Iran after orchestrating a terrorist attack on our country to save the elections.
ping to #7
Yeah but at that rate we will pragmatize our country right out of existence.
I kmow that something will happen. What it will be, I don’t know. It could be amything from an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities on down. I understant that obama and the nut job are “friends”, but, if getting rid of the nut job’s nuclear facilities means obama holding on to his power, the nut job’s nuclear facilities have to go. After the election, obama will help him rebuild with our latest techonology.
Have some faith, kiddo.
Kennedy made a point of saying he intends to stay beyond BHO’s term
That is a shot over the bow, and notice that the SCOTUS has had about enough of him.
heh..
THE LEFT WILL STOP AT NOTHING I REPEAT NOTHING TO STAY IN POWER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This president has already fired the officers of private corporations, effectively nationalized private businesses, and attempted to exert fascistic control of all manner of things not remotely connected with his office.
The guy really has no notion of what kind of office the President of the United States is. I wonder that he might try to grab for the shutoff switch, simply because he doesn't realize they ain't no switch for him to grab.
I much doubt that his handlers would let him get so far, and we would never hear about it in any case.
All elections are run by the States. I would like to see Obama try to shut down every polling place by fiat and Federal Marshalls.
Only a fool could think Scott Brown is a turncoat, because only a fool could have thought Scott Brown was a conservative in the first place.
He is who he is...the best that could be expected in Massachusetts. Don't try to make him something different.
That way they would be able to use the repubs as the fall guy.
The Klingons say: It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
“There better BE a mid-term this fall, or....”
Well, I’ll take the bait.
Or... what?
I think the October surprise will the “accidental” placing of an ‘R’ next to every democrat canidate, on millions of ballots throughout the land. So when Novemeber comes around it will be to late to change anything. :)
A faked assassination attempt. The left and the MSM would pin it on the Tea Party in a heartbeat.
Would you rather have The Swimmah back?
Pamela’s speaks the truth. Also, I agree with her suggestion of Bolton for 2012.
What a guy!
