End-Of-Year Sale

Before we leave 2014 behind totally, a comment about a subject that I came across in my holiday-period mail. Not a pleasant present, or note to end the year on.  But there you are; that's where we are at: on the brink of either disaster or breakthrough.

It had to do with the likes of Twitter.

'Revealed inside: Barack Obama's newest plan to listen in on your free speech!' the envelope touted in Bold print, plus underlining and even italics, no less.  And the mailing (from an outfit called the United States Justice Foundation, Michael Connelly, Esq. presiding) delivered the goods, on this administration.  It turns out that the Obama administration gang of merry Marxists is now - well, let me let the USJF tell it for themselves.  First, the lead-up to the punch line:

"Dear (Reader),

"Freedom of speech is about to be abolished…   [Emphases his throughout]     

"For years, the federal government has been putting the squeeze on free speech, unconstitutionally limiting what you are allowed to hear, to say, or even to think!   [Hold  on.  A bit hyperbolic there???…  Well, I'll read on.  This could be interesting…]

"And under Barack Hussein Obama -- a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist who demands complete control over speech in order to fully implement his despotic agenda -- the First Amendment has taken blow after blow, and it is now teetering on the edge of total collapse.  [What is he leading up to, besides a request for more money, I wondered; but was willing to read on.]  

"You know that Mr.1 Obama's unelected bureaucrats at the National Security Agency (NSA) record every phone call you make, and every text or email you send.  These government snoops are putting together secret  dossiers on YOU, and on all designated 'enemies of the Obama regime.'  [I wouldn't put it past them, with their Stasi-like tendencies, the Obama IRS singling-out of patriot and conservative-oriented non-profits for harassment, and so forth.  But I had to wonder, at this point, if the USJF had any hardcore evidence to back up their claim, that they were going to cite in their letter.  At any rate: moving right along…]

"This information is stored in a 'someday' file . . . someday they will use this 'evidence' against you.  Someday they will round up dissidents -- just like they did in Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, and Red China.  [& East Germany/Berlin…]  Someday you will lose all your rights -- forced to abandon your beliefs, or be hauled off to concentration camps.   

"My friend, with Mr. Obama's radical agenda now on the brink, someday may be right around the corner . . . "

Well; he had my attention, if not my total agreement with the details of his premise yet.  But - tell me more.  He did:

"A new and terrifying program being launched by the Obama Administration allows them to follow what you say on the social media site Twitter, but it also lets his partisan 'attack dogs' decide if your comments are 'punishable.'  

"What's more, Barack Obama and his 'Internet Gestapo' are counting on other American citizens to 'rat you out' to the regime!

"Just as has happened in every totalitarian society in history, the government is relying on legions of citizen 'snitches' to report suspected dissidents to the authorities.  Only this time, their target is YOU."

[But I'm sure that that category - to say, of 'snitches' - doesn't cover any of you, my regular readers.  Does it.  Surely not...]

"And we only have a few weeks to STOP this program -- ironically named 'Truthy' by the Obama regime -- before it's up and running, targeting innocent American citizens for anti-Obama comments.  Please keep reading this vitally important letter to see how you and i are going to do exactly that . . . "

And so forth, in that vein (of "Barack Obama's declared war on YOUR privacy and on your Constitutional rights").  It is all of a piece with the subject covered in an article in the December 1st edition of The New American magazine - which I, synchronistically, just got around to reading at this same time - wherein it refers to the highly suspected 'targeting' of one Dinesh D'Souza for a violation of campaign finance law.2  D'Souza, a conservative (who writes a lot for The National Review)3 who wrote a book, published in 2010, entitled 'The Roots of Obama's Rage' (laying the 'roots' of Obama's anti-West political position in the anti-colonial attitudes of his Kenyan father.  His father of record, that is), and made a follow-up film based on it entitled '2016: Obama's America' released in time for the 2012 election campaign, fell foul of a fairly minor (as these things go, and on both sides of the political aisle) violation of federal campaign finance law, but was charged by the Obama DOJ on heavy felony counts, which could have seen him imprisoned for up to seven years.4 This sort of thing makes what Nixon did in his tenure in the office small change, indeed.  And is a portent of the direction in which Obama and his (nominal) administration ideologues were taking the country.5

Were.  Because a Stasi-like, police-state America is not on the cards.

Because I, and plenty of other patriots like me, say so.    

Make of our roadblock to your enterprise what you will, Lefties.  

And far Righties.  Scheming, to put in place your (mutual) totalitarian New World Order.    

Not in my country - or on my planet - you won't.    

Because this is all the property of

God.

Not Mammon. 

Not any longer.

1 To give credit where credit is due, the USJF is one of the few conservative outfits I know that is willing to call Obama for what he is: an illegally sitting president - not just a damn scoundrel of a president.  They do not advocate impeachment for the s.o.b.  That is too good for him - literally.  They advocate his removal  - period.  And that way - as they admirably recognize (the only such outfit that I have come across that 'gets' it) - all the legislation that the Usurper has signed into law, and all the executive ordures (my word for them; patent pending) that he has issued, and all the appointments that he has made (including, you will note, his two leftist SCOTUS appointments), go with him: out the door, of the Oval Office.  And don't you come back no more, no more.   

2 'YOU'RE a Criminal Now!' by another Michael, this one last-named Tennant. 

   Wouldn't it be interesting if one could look on this sort of 'happy accident' as a precognizer of the gathering of the Archangel Michael's forces, to help humanity take down the forces of Darkness now threatening the world…  

   …naw.  That would be just silly.  So I won't go there.  

3  An outfit whose 'academically-oriented' conservative bi-weekly magazine I used to subscribe to, but got disenchanted with their more and more apparent Neoconservative slant on politics.  A legacy from their Trotskyite roots, most probably.  

4 "The idea of charging him with a felony for this doesn't sound like a proper exercise of prosecutorial discretion," the article quotes even leftist Harvard University professor of law Alan Dershowitz as saying about the case to the Wall Street Journal; who continued: "I can't help but think that [D'Souza's] politics have something to do with it…It smacks of selective prosecution."

   Which is illegal.  It also is redolent of something that Stalin's secret policed chief, Lavrentiy Beria, said (also quoted in the article): "Show me the man and I'll find you the crime."  

   And so this is what we have come to, in this country:

   a dead end.

   Read on.

5 And with the likes of forcing the Navy to observe Ramadan rituals for all sailors.  And bending over backwards to keep any mention of Christianity out of all the service arms.  And banning the oath of Air Force Academy graduates from including the time-honored, nondenominational acknowledgment of the founding of this nation, in swearing, "So help me, God".  And on.  And on.  And on, under this essentially Marxist administration…
   This particular emphasis of his on the scrubbing-out of all mention of Christianity under his 'command' is intriguing, and smacks of the historical events that happened under Akhenaten's rise to pharaohic power in ancient Egypt, where that potentate tried to erase the god Amun from memory - establishing his god Aten in its place - and ended up having all mention of him and his religion defaced and scrubbed from the various 'records,' stelae and so forth, in angry retaliation by the people.  The mere mortals under his - momentary - command….
   What goes around, comes around.
