The Cloward - Piven Strategy Now! Seriously!
by CarterFliptMe
We're watching oppressive Progressives try to divide the country along economic, racial, political, and even religious lines. We're watching them put up roadblocks to economic recovery in every sector of the United States: Housing, Energy, Finance, Banking, Health Care, Foreign Trade, and Small Business. Now that Obama has put a wet blanket on all these areas, he's implementing policy which time and again, has been the exact opposite of what leaders & advisors in these fields would recommend for solid, stable recovery from the recession of 2008.
Every President in recent history has had a recession to deal with. They are cyclical, and every president has dealt with their respective recessions with reasonable measures that generally allowed recovery and return to growth within two years. They implemented policy which:
This administration has succeeded in putting a wet blanket on growth, investment, speculation, and entrepreneurial risk-taking. Now that they've done this, they are going about the task of trying to blame the lack of recovery and growth on their political opposition. They're now bluntly and insultingly casting blame for their failed policies on GOP, the Tea Party movement, corporate greed, Wall Street corruption, income inequality, and even racism. It's as though they had a nice car, beat the hell out of it, deflated all the tires, and now claim it's the neighbor's fault the car is shot.
All this wouldn't be so alarming if it was just a matter of defeating them in 2012. But they're now beginning a drumbeat that: Congress is in dangerous gridlock; that job recovery is being stopped by GOP; and using fear-mongering tactics, as usual (even claiming that rapes and murders are going to increase because of Congress' faux gridlock!).
Faux gridlock? Yes, Congress is in gridlock, because the Democrat controlled Senate has made sure their 'Jobs Bill', which is merely more government handouts to union leadership, community 'outreach' programs, and political payoffs, cannot pass the House of Representatives. Their 'jobs plan' is basically a smaller version of Obama's utterly failed first stimulus plan! Of course GOP will not agree to waste more taxpayer dollars that we'd have to borrow anyway! Our debt is destabilizing our currency, and threatens the Dollar's status as the global currency.
It's glaringly obvious that Progressives are trying to divide Americans instead of pulling them together. Think of the public union fiasco in Wisconsin, where sitting Democrats actually fled the state in order to stop the legislative process! That in itself was an act of rebellion!
They'd like to marginalize conservatives who struggle to implement fiscal responsibility and smaller, more cost-effective government. Even now they declare conservative ideology to be terroristic, obstructionist, racist, and dangerous.
We must speak out against these retarded evil bastards, loudly and firmly! We must ridicule and humiliate anyone who espouses Progressive ideology, and call it for what it is: stupid, ineffective, economically unsustainable, counter-intuitive, and oppressive. We've humored these reptiles long enough, and now they have, bit by bit, one issue at a time, managed to bring the entire country to the edge of economic and social collapse. Now, it seems, they threaten civil war.
We The People are not letting this happen. We are turning the tide! The Tea Party movement is gaining momentum, especially now! Even some on the Left are questioning progressives' motives and methods, as they see that destruction of Constitutional government in a Capitalistic Free Market system is the Progressives' final goal.

- Reduced government hindrances, (taxation, regulation, etc. especially capital gains taxation).
- Simply allowed corrections to be settled in the free market system, on it's own, to allow for stable market correction, and a 'smoothing out' of market bubbles or crashes.

If their claims alone don't alarm you, as a citizen, then please, go back to watching cartoons! We don't need you!
They'd like to forever silence political opposition, and rule under some sort of totalitarian system in which Progressive Oppression could run unfettered. Personally, I'm sick of these ban-happy social conrol freaks who want to butt into every single aspect of our lives. They'd like to even control what kind of food we eat, and how much of it we should consume!! With ObamaCare they'd even have the power to withhold care to political opponents, or any other segment of society! They'd have the power to wield health care funds as though it were a spiked club! No Thank You!We The People are not letting this happen. We are turning the tide! The Tea Party movement is gaining momentum, especially now! Even some on the Left are questioning progressives' motives and methods, as they see that destruction of Constitutional government in a Capitalistic Free Market system is the Progressives' final goal.
Through faith and trust in God, we'll defeat this elitist, hate-based ideology once and for all!!!
Please tell your friends, your family, even the clerk at Kwik Mart!! Don't argue; don't try to convince anyone. Just warn them! Progressive rebels in all levels of government are trying to topple our American system as we know it. Say it firmly and with conviction. Let God do the arguing within people's minds! Men, Fathers, and Grandfathers! Be strong pillars of faith, encouragement, hope, love, and light! Only light can overcome darkness, and darkness cannot extinguish light! Let the light shine! Frightened people, if given a choice, when in times of chaos, strife, fear, and suffering, always turn to the light in the end.
Be that light!

Day Trader Alessio Rastani on BBC Predicts Eurozone Crash in Less Than 12 Months
by CarterFliptMe
Rastani's dire prediction is not the first we've heard recently. Glenn Beck has been warning us of possible economic collapse for months. Got food? Rastani's explanation of why some investors don't fear market collapse, and in fact, even stand to make money from it, answers the question, "How can they let this happen?" Given the current global economic situation, we'd all (except those savvy enough to be heavily invested in commodities) be in deep do-do if any organization tried to gain power or destroy opposition through such a collapse. Global investors would stand to reap record-setting profits from it, and the control freak types would get to boss us around for awhile.

Recovery Stalled After Passage of Obamacare
"Private-sector job creation initially recovered from the recession at a normal rate, leading to predictions last year of a “Recovery Summer.” Since April 2010, however, net private-sector job creation has stalled. Within two months of the passage of Obamacare, the job market stopped improving. This suggests..."

EPA Ordered Wisconsin's Fox River Cleanup; Costs to Exceed $1Billion
Two companies, Appleton Papers and NCR Corp. have paid most of the cleanup costs so far, and are now arguing that others should be paying more, and there doesn't seem to be any reason why this shouldn't turn into a Trial Attorney's Bonanza. Of course, the EPA already will have an army of lawyers, well-fed and very well-paid, courtesy of the US Taxpayer. In essence, the taxpayers will be paying for a government entity, the EPA, who is unaccountable to the voting public, to fight to damage companies that provide jobs for Wisconsinites.Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to hover near 10%, inflation has set in, the housing market is still broken after 2.5 years, and Congress is playing Mexican poker with the budget, with politicians threatening default and calamity.
What a wonderful time for an American corporation, who provides jobs in it's pursuit of evil profits, to be getting whipped about the head and shoulders by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
- Is it any wonder the US is losing economic strength?
- Is it any wonder that most of the voting age public has turned its back on the entire process, including the news that pertains to it?
- Is it any wonder millions of alarmed Americans are talking about a return to Constitutional principles?
- Does anyone doubt that almost every single politician in Washington DC at this time will have to be replaced in order to accomplish this?
- America, we have our work cut out for us!
Below is an excerpt from the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel article:
"The cleanup is the largest of its kind in the United States, and according to court records, the cost of removing chemicals could exceed $1 billion.
The two companies that have paid for most of the cleanup so far - Appleton Papers and NCR Corp. - are close to ending dredging for the year because they want others to pay for a greater share of the cost.
The decision also raises questions about how the cleanup will proceed next year.
In 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ordered Appleton Papers Inc., NCR and other companies to remove PCBs from the river. The PCBs were used to make a type of paper for copying known as carbonless paper."... read more Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel

The Warning (aired Oct 20, 2009) by Frontline: Economic Meltdown in Fall of 2008
Frontline - PBS: The Warning - Chapter 1
"We didn't truly know the dangers of the market, because it was a dark market," says Brooksley Born, the head of an obscure federal regulatory agency -- the Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC] -- who not only warned of the potential for economic meltdown in the late 1990s, but also tried to convince the country's key economic power-brokers to take actions that could have helped avert the crisis. "They were totally opposed to it," Born says. "That puzzled me. What was it that was in this market that had to be hidden?" (more »)

The extreme failure of the U.S. economy to rebound from the 2008 recession has brought harsh criticism of the President and the Democrat party, much of it claiming that they don't know what they're doing. Some critics claim they don't understand free market economics, or that they are only concerned with growing government at the expense of the economy and the American people. I say that the President does know what he's doing. He and the radical Progressives who control the Democrat party have never intended for their economic policies to succeed. Their intention has been exactly the opposite.
I don't claim to be an economist, or an expert in finance and investment. However, I remember learning that, to the best of anyone's knowledge, recessions are cyclical, and are the result of market correction after a 7 - 9 year period of sustained growth. I've heard conspiracy theorists speculate that it's the Fed that purposely induces recession in order to reap gains from the shift in favorable assets and investments that recession causes. Those further out on the fringe have said that recessions are orchestrated by globalists pushing for a New World Order.
Whatever the cause(s), recession has normally been dealt with in responsible fashion by reining in government spending, lowering capital gains taxes to spur investment, lowering investment restrictions, and other traditionally conservative fiscal measures.
The Obama administration has employed the complete opposite measures that are known to have been successful in the past. The Left's goal has evolved into a quest to bring an extreme loss of confidence in capitalism and free market economics by the American people, and by domestic and foreign investors. If they could accomplish this loss of confidence during a time of extreme economic crisis, they could use the crisis as an excuse to seize control of banking, lending institutions, housing, health care, education, transportation, etc., all in the name of emergency crisis control. The frightened American people would not object if they had lost confidence in the traditional ways of doing things.
To achieve this loss of confidence and mistrust, the Obama administration has put a 'wet blanket' on every single aspect of the economy, and killed every single area that shows promise for growth in the private sector. Meanwhile, they blame Republicans, corporations, the Tea Party movement, and anyone else that wanders into their sights.
These, and every other move Democrats have made since then, have prolonged the housing problem, the lending problem, the jobless problem, and the energy problem. They all remain broken, or frightened into inaction, to this day.
I believe the reason that the Left's goal has radically changed during this recession, is that they saw opportunity to collapse the system when they saw the swollen debt left by the Bush administration. Combined with the 'crisis' caused by the predicted and known collapse of Fannie/Freddie, they saw the opportunity for unprecedented spending for bailouts that it provided. I believe they saw this as an opportunity to, with just a little more 'emergency' spending, push the whole works over the edge.
