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.
“..Like Winston Churchill said...,”because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”..”
Churchill was wrong; Patton was right.
“No dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country; he won it by making the other dumb bastard die for HIS country.”
Substitute “ideology” or “belief” for “country.
Just sayin’...
If that were the case, I’d expect a lot of dead and/or wounded US Marshalls.
The Democrats...can only find opportunity in fellow American’s misery....
By imposing amnesty and allowing prisoners to vote,
big “O” can obtain large blocks of votes. Surely, there are other interest groups he can shower favors on to get votes.
Of course, he could declare martial law or cancel the election, but this is far fetched.
Would you be surprised to learn that one already happened during 0's rule? I wonder why no journalists are allowed near the beaches on the Gulf, let alone near the site of the sunken rig?
Yes, but the thing is that Marxists like Obama have at the center of their faith, “THE REVOLUTION” - a violent affair like happened in Russia 1917 to 1922.
This is as central to the Bolshevik faith as Jihad is to the Muslims.
My take is that Obama will intentionally push the country over the edge in the coming months with the hope that civil war will break out and he can crush it.
Obama thinks he’s on the right side of history and will win in the end of whatever happens.
Ping for later.
True. Also remember that CW2 is going to be much MUCH larger and more sprawling over a far greater distance and involving far greater numbers of people. Also consider the technology disparity! Folks flip that term around: "Civil War 2" almost nonchalantly but the reality is anything but. Scary. For me at least.
Another reason that November is so important. Watch for the month of August though. History shows that bad things happen for our government during the month of August. We’ll have to wait and see.
Obama seems strangely unconcerned about the midterms. Maybe he knows something we don’t.
Or maybe he’s just a narcissistic dope
******************
His pattern suggests the latter.
>Lincoln didn’t even cancel elections during the CIVIL WAR.
True, but he did suspend habeus corpus and used the U.S. Marshall Service to arrest people who spoke out against the war, including the then-sitting U.S. House Majority Leader.
A Pubbie gov is doing the same to a district in Indiana.
Note to the nation: If they can do it to us...
Even more horrible than a Communist USA with 25 million shipped to concentration camps in the Southwest?
I’ll take a CW2 and the hope of victory over than done deal of communism any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Brings to mind an uncle, marine WWW2, who said he'd go anywhere again, fight anyone again, rather than see war on U.S. soil.....
Watch the news as they put more of their story elements in place--the NAACP `condemnation of Tea Party racism` is a much larger story than one might think because it is one link in a chain.
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, but but not so specific that there will be anything to prosecute should the plan )fail.
Exactly. The choice, again, wasn`t between a lib and a conservative,but a lib and a moderate who sometimes votes with us. In the real world that`s how this works—next, we can run someone more conservative, and so on. I dislike much of what he`s done, but the reality is the alternative would be much worse...for now.
Was wondering what you knew before the rest of us. LOL
But, let's get the best politicians we can, where we can. Brown is good enough for Massachusetts. Is Hatch good enough for Utah? Not by a long shot. Is Lindsay Graham good enough for South Carolina? Again, not by a long shot.
One more time...was Bennett good enough in Utah? No, and so he got 'primaried' out of office.
RINOs have their place, but their place is never where you ought to have...and can reasonably elect...a conservative.
