Appreciate you post, it made me think of this from the last chapter of the Vampire Economny, Obama is in the position to destroy us all:

The position of the fascist dictators might be compared
to that of Schweik, the “good soldier” in a tale
by Hajek, the Czech writer.
Looking for a place where he could defy his superiors,
Schweik entered a gunpowder magazine. Seating himself
on a keg of gunpowder, he pulled out his pipe and
contentedly began to smoke. But he did not remain undisturbed for long.

The sergeant appeared. Excitedly he
began to berate Schweik and threaten to punish him,
but the sight of a few sparks from Schweik’s pipe halted
Ms tirade. Schweik smiled innocently at the sergeant
and puffed again on the pipe. The sergeant trembled
and changed his tone. In the friendliest manner he tried
to hint that Schweik would really feel much better in
the fresh air. Wouldn’t Schweik take a walk with him?
But Schweik declared that he was quite contented to sit
on the keg of gunpowder smoking his pipe. Schweik
could continue to defy his sergeant not because he was
inherently strong, but because of his position on the
keg of gunpowder. The sergeant represented a gigantic
military machine which Schweik could never have
lioped to overpower. But Schweik could destroy the
whole barracks, the sergeant and all superior officers
with a single spark from hL pipe.

The fascist dictator is in the same position as Schweik.
The preponderant weight of force, both internally and
externally, is against him, but he, like Schweik, with
lighted pipe in hand, is seated on a keg of gunpowder.

The conservative forces which helped the fascist dictator
to power thought they would be able to control
him, but now they do not dare to make use of their
power against him. They know that nothing of the old
system would remain if the structure he has built were
to fall.

Wow. That is so clear and accurate.

The communists have shown us that this is their game plan - to use Cloward-Piven to get America to such a vulnerable place. All the usual suspects have been involved in getting us here. And now that the economy is on the precipice where even the slightest breeze could tip it over, Soros had all the leverage he needed to place his “Schweik” on the gunpowder.

We’ve all wondered why the standard checks and balances, the rule of law, the Constitution, etc have seemed to be suspended. We’ve been angry at the people who we think have let us down. But ultimately it was our own unwillingness to stop this economic coup in its infancy which led us down this road.

The question is, “What do we do now?” Schweik is not going to put out his cigar and he’s not gonna get off the keg of gunpowder. He is flicking more and more ashes onto the gunpowder all the time. What do we do?

I think people are becoming aware of just how dangerous a situation this is. The things we’ve taken for granted are no longer givens. I just hope we haven’t woken up too late.
