The October Surprise is Coming
The American Thinker ^ | July 13, 2010 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 07/14/2010 7:05:39 AM PDT by Jack Black

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.

“A faked assassination attempt. The left and the MSM would pin it on the Tea Party in a heartbeat.”

I had that same thought. It sounds spooky-scary but you are right. Or, remember Alan Grayson has his ‘fake’ Tea Party group funded. He or some Lib will PAY a group to go out and perpetuate this crime and it will look like it came from a conservative group. That IS how the evil Dems operate.

The problem with this is that the administration is on thin ice here and abroad. If at any point there is a riot/race war/government backlash, the left would lose because their race agitators do not have the discipline to actually carry out some riot that would sustain successfully to literally break the back of the country and ‘opposition’ into submission.

The black Panthers are all intimidating to a handful of voters and in their own living rooms, but to literally go out into the world beyond the ghetto would result in death, mainly because (despite their self appointed military ranks) they lack the DISCIPLINE of being resourceful and actually trained to inflict serious damage.

The ‘soft’ Republicans and others they scoff at as not being tough are actually disciplined enough to methodically inflict pinpointed damage on them and succeed in guerrilla warfare. I am sure that the ‘wimpy’ Republicans are better at shutting their feelings off and doing what needs to be done, which is what all successful people do. In this case, ‘getting done what needs to be done’ would be the killing of any and all blacks who venture into the areas surrounding the ghetto. Compassion would be nonexistent and all men, at the first threat of their families, become sadists of the first order.

But they don’t see that. They only see passive, courteous people who mind their manners and the law. Of course, the Japanese do the same and I daresay millions can testify to what they did on the battlefield.

These are the people that won the various wars the U.S. has been in. Those characterized by the self-centered, self-indulgence of leftist liberals in the U.S. have not yet come up against this part of the U.S. in anything resembling the exigencies of war. They better hope they never have to.

If something does happen, it’ll be interesting to see what these Hollywood ‘toughies’ do to defend themselves. I wonder if Ahhhnold will be able to stop screaming for help long enough to figure out how to use a REAL gun and since Charlton Heston is gone, they won’t be able to call him.

Jet Li can stay with me. Given that he means a lot to me, I daresay I will shoot anyone who comes for him, especially his wife! And I’ll ensure his continued protection by making sure that the rioter get the proper directions to the main event.

I would argue that we have a sector of our society that is deliberately trying to undermine our freedom (not that this is news at FR, of course). At some point, we have to view these people as more than just cranks looking to cause a bit of mischief. Not only do we need to stop their efforts cold, but we also need to reverse the damage done to this country in the past few decades. Frankly, I think some of these people will have to be forced to leave the country if they can't live by the laws and system of government that was intended when this country was first founded.

It won't be faked. The instant that Zeros value as a maytyr exceeds that of his usefulness as a Marxist sock puppet, those behind him will dispose of him AND his family in a manner calculated to garner maximum outrage and sympathy. A move impossible to counter.

My husband has been saying for months how they are going to try to get a civil war going...between race, religion, cultures and politics.

As much as I can’t imagine the life as we know it, not existing, more and more each day, I’m seeing the destruction of our freedoms, our liberties, our country....and it infuriates me how ultimately EVIL these people are. Just pure evil.

I for one, will NEVER fall for anything, any attempt, as stated in the article - terrorist attack, etc, to keep these POS’s in power...EVER!!

And if they think Americans would be so stupid to continue falling for their crap...they are more than just delusional. We’re awake now you mofos....take that BS and shove it.

This kind of thinking is what will cause us to lose America.

And I highly doubt the majority of Americans are going to sit by, in the next 2 years, and let Obama continue to destroy this country.

When we win in November, and we will, it may not be enough, this is true. But I am of the mind, that if Obama and Crime Inc. continue on this path, the American people are going to stand up.

I still say force will be needed to stop this regime. I hope a big catastrophe doesn’t happen, but maybe it will be the straw that’s needed, so to speak, to end this tyranny.

I could be wrong...it’s just my opinion.

We’ll probably win big in November, but we’ll lose in the long run because those that win this time will not be allowed have the spine or determination -- as half of them will be RINOs -- to right the ship, and correct the problem ...Thus a lot of the support to gain the majority back will errode just in time for the 2012 election

A minor correction to your otherwise brilliant post!

Doesn’t matter. If WE THE PEOPLE are awake now...we should know enough about each candidate in our districts/states to know who they are and what they are about, so that the R or D or I behind their name, doesn’t mean squat.

CONTENT OF CHARACTER!!! Know your candidates!!!

In October, just before the election, Obama and Holder will annouce another raid on a `racist` group ala the one some months ago. THIS time, though, there will be unproven but `troubling` suggestions of connections to the Tea Party-backed candidates.

It will be just vague enough to get folks riled up,

Yes, but probably multiple groups, not just one.

I anticipate a rash of racial “hate crimes” committed secretly by leftists upon minorities and blamed on Tea Party members. And the SRM will obligingly repeat the accompanying propaganda.

Barry ain't no Lincoln. Consequences mean nothing to him. He wouldn't worry about needing a civil war, he might try it just because he gets an abusive email.

But consider this: how do the Feds have the ability to cancel elections, which are managed by the states? What are they going to do, refuse to seat the newly elected Congress in January? I wish 'em rotsa ruck with that. (Well, actually not, but I wish they would try. They wouldn't dare.)

Little bammy is actually the opposite of Lincoln and after the mid-term elections he just might do something breathtakingly stupid as he is an arrogant, ignorant fool .

The level of arrogance by dee-cee is far above what the issues were 149 years ago and the issues are eerily similar. States Rights with, among other things, an underlining current of “slavery” manifesting it’s current form as the illegal alien.

Just think slavery = cheap labor (illegal aliens) and everything falls into place.

Bear in mind the incoming government at the time was Republican (Lincoln) and the incumbent (Buchanan) currently in place was Democrat.

The north at the time was of a general anti-slavery sentiment and with the pro-slavery Dred Scott Case giving the green light to slavery in the Territories a major rift in Buchanan’s (D) Presidency occurred. This paved the road for Lincoln (R) in the 1860 election as he was “anti- slavery = no cheap labor (no illegal aliens)”

Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery “cheap labor (illegal aliens).” The Republican victory in that election resulted in seven Southern states “pro- slavery = cheap labor (illegal aliens)” declaring their secession from the Union even before Lincoln took office thus kicking off the Civil War.

So, who today wants to keep the illegal aliens here? Think amnesty. Think Democrat.

Who wants to get rid of the illegal aliens? Think deportation. Since the 1840s Lincoln had been an advocate of the American Colonization Society program of colonizing blacks in Liberia, Africa, where they could actually be free. Think Republican.

"My first impulse would be to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia, to their own native land. But a moment’s reflection would convince me that whatever of high hope (as I think there is) there may be in this, in the long run, its sudden execution is impossible." Lincoln, October 16, 1854: a speech at Peoria, Illinois.

So, there it is. The stage is set with an incumbent President that is an arrogant, ignorant fool that probably will, once cornered by loss of power after the mid-term elections, push the anti-amnesty / pro-deportation States to “make a decision” because of yet another incredibly stupid act in his long chain of incredibly stupid acts and efforts.

At that point the fed.gov can issue “executive orders” and pass “emergency acts” all they like.

No one will be listening or care.

I dunno, unless the infrastructure collapses most people won’t fight for anything much less an abstract thing like “liberty”.

If there is a CWII most people will be hiding in a hole quivering with fear.
