On 'The Awakening': Is a Manufactured Crisis or Attack on its Way?

Monday 2/16, 8pm ET,,,5pm PT (or archived)

1. Was the "mortgage meltdown" economic terrorism? Was there a cover-up, until the recorded confession of Rep. Kanjorski?

2. Why did Biden, Powell, & Emanuel speak of another created crisis?
Listen to exactly what they said.

3. Are these pretexts for a massive attack upon our sovereignty and freedom?

Special guest: Sheriff Richard Mack, on our Citizens' rights vs. state treachery -- and what we can do to be prepared, if necessary. Richard Mack defeated the Brady Bill at the U. S. Supreme Court. He has written, From My Cold, Dead Fingers; Why America Needs Guns - The County Sheriff, America's Last Hope - The Proper Role of Law Enforcement - and has lectured about popular and state sovereignty.


And at the Sentinel Roundtable:
And you'll hear more from Hanen, of The Sentinel Radio Network, and The Commentary, if she can get a better connection, this week!

Don't Just Read, Do Something! About this Catastrophe: Congress & Obama

I have read and traded comments with a handful of patriots, about the celebrated C-SPAN soliloquy... the revelation of Rep. Kanjorski (D-PA). His video is shown a few articles below - tired of posting it. A few of these folks follow along the lines of conventional and credible wisdom, assembled at Maggie's Notebook: here, just click that into a new window, if you like.

And since this is I.O., I'll feature my comment to her piece -- a suggestion for you Citizen activists out there to digest -- and get busy doing -- if you so choose:
Thanks for the good essay, Maggie. I suggest that we don't think yet that we have enough information on this story. What I do suggest:

Pick two congressmen from Kanjorski's committee and call their offices this fine Monday. [2/17: this and next week, let us take our time and be thorough enough] Ask them the tough questions. Here's the subcommittee list:

House Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government Sponsored Enterprises - let's have at it! http://is.gd/jFcq

For example, to Kanjorski's own office, let's ask: $550B within two hours? On what day? Why this big heavy burp, all of a sudden, at 11am? Who has investigated? What is the result? Any massive sell-offs by entities which have connections to each other, or which may not have the interests of the U.S.A. at heart?

Then, let's ask the others on that subcommittee what they recall and by the way... whom do they think *should be* investigated, outside and inside Congress?

And while we have them on the phone, how do they like the idea that we should throw more than another one trillion dollars at the problem, causing severe inflation and thus an auto-Madoff run on our livelihoods and savings?

And do they think we should join Obama's MarxoFascist army now, to be ahead of the curve? Will that give us the ticket to move to the head of the breadlines, you know, as long as we campaign for other socialists and throw our weight around in our neighborhoods?
We should already know this is essentially a manufactured catastrophe, by one interpretation of that phrase or another (see posts of the last three weeks). We are in the eye of the storm and the storm has been building rapidly. What do we do about it?

Here is another thing, for you Citizen activists (natural born, or otherwise) to do, as described by Citizen Wells in his piece, "Congress Watch, WHY Initiative, US Constitution, US Congress, Obama eligibility, Congressmen, Senators, Representatives, Accountable, 2010 Elections, Military oath, Restore the Constitutional Republic," February 13, 2009. Please have a look at that.

This is one of the critical subjects Mr. Wells and an excellent group will be covering on "The Awakening," this Monday night, on net-radio, 8pm ET,,,5pm PT, and archived.

And, please give me your comment or an email to arlenwilliams "at" yahoo.com, if you have feedback from one or more of these congressmen or their offices!


Mr. Wells likes long titles, doesn't he?

Keyes on Obama and His Attempted Persecution of Constitutionalist Citizens

From Alan Keyes, Saturday, 2/14/09:
Obama Threatens Keyes and other Eligibility Plaintiffs

Thought for Today

As many of you know, I am party to one of the lawsuits seeking evidence that would help to establish, one way or the other, whether Obama in fact meets the U.S. Constitution's eligibility requirements for the office of President of the United States. To understand my view of the critical issues involved see the WND articles The End of the Constitutional Republic, and Obama, Oaths and the End of Constitutional Government.) Now Obama's lawyers have filed a motion to quash our effort to obtain the relevant documents (cf. Bob Unruh's WND article Sanctions sought in eligibility case.) I am told that it includes a demand that monetary penalties be assessed against me and the other plaintiffs in the suit. Though not unexpected, this motion confirms Obama's ruthless determination to destroy anyone who continues to seek the information the Constitution requires. Why should they demand penalties against citizens who are simply seeking the enforcement of the Supreme Law of the Land? It is simply because their persistence runs contrary to the will of a supposedly popular demagogue? This smacks of tyrannical arrogance. That Obama thus signals his intent to bring financial ruin on those who won't accept his cover-up of the circumstances of his birth is a tactical escalation. It confirms the common sense suspicion that he won't act forthrightly in this matter because he has something to hide.

As one of the targets of this escalation, I need no more convincing proof of the ruthless disposition so far successfully masked by his empty rhetoric of hope and change. [Excerpted, continues in Keyes' blog, upon a larger theme]
My reactions:
  • It is good to see Dr. Keyes publicly and vociferously involved.
  • We should build a unified front to protect these eligibility challengers
  • We should do the same for all whistleblowers about Barack Obama and the movement for controlled societies, of which he is a part -- there are many potential whistleblowers.
  • In so doing, please think of Carol Greenberg in Ohio.
  • "Keep faith."

$550B Run on Money Markets, 9/11 or 9/18, 2008?

There is some blow-back among journalists and bloggers, to I.O's 2/14 updated article, immediately prior to this one -- enough that I have added a couple question marks in key places. This dispute/correction by means of conventional wisdom declares the $550B withdrawl from money market funds mentioned by Rep. Kanjorski as having taken place in less than two hours, were two hours out of Thursday, 9/18/08 and not 9/11/08.

I.O. once again offers the unedited Kanjorski pronouncements on C-SPAN, wherein he states
Look, I was there when the Secretary and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve came those days and talked with members of Congress about what was going on. It was about September 15th. Here’s the facts, and we don’t even talk about these things. On Thursday at about eleven o’clock in the morning, the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion dollars was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help. They pumped a hundred and five billion dollars in the system and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. They decided to close the operation, close down the money ccounts and announce a guarantee of $250,000 per account so there wouldn’t be further panic out there, and that’s what actually happened.
From this, one would logically assume that the Thursday in question was likely on 9/11. However, there were news reports at the end of the following week which indicated a 9/18 date, for a huge draw-down. However, such reports also indicate statements [emphasis by I.O.] such as:

The news on redemptions at Reserve Primary is certainly being kept low key. The only reference to it that I have seen was buried in the third paragraph of a Bloomberg story.
[from EconomicPolicyJournal.com, "Run On Money Market Fund: Reserve Primary Fund Lost 60% Of Its Assets To Redemptions This Week"]

And from a New York Post article, "Almost Armageddon," dated Sunday, 9/21:
According to traders, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, money market funds were inundated with $500 billion in sell orders prior to the opening. The total money-market capitalization was roughly $4 trillion that morning.
From the above, it is clear that details of this enormous threat to the United States' economy were being kept quiet. From the above, one is compelled to ask, how quiet? For example, it being kept as quiet as it was, had traders been trained by the federal government to hush news of any market panic potentially caused by economic terrorism? And if so, how long might they have been able to keep such a thing quiet? After all, it would be convenient to keep very, very quiet, an enormous economic attack on the date, 9/11.

Members of Congress have the answers. I.O. commends Rep. Kanjorski's interest in Congress informing Sovereign Citizens of what occurred and looks forward to gaining more information from them -- more glasnost, less mushroom management. For starters, what exactly do you mean to say, Rep. Kanjorski?

It should also not be lost in this discussion that it has been said, the most significant catalyst for the mortgage meltdown was the failure of IndyMac and that the catalyst for this was the prior public doomsaying of the same by Senator Charles Schumer. Nor should it be forgotten that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid later leveled a similar, severely damaging public badmouthing of the insurance industry.

Add to this the move of ideological the friends of known economic terrorist, and fellow bankroller of MarxoFascists, George Soros, who are Herb and Marion Sandler. These culprits sold their virtual loansharking mortgage business, Golden West, to Wachovia Bank. Presumably they, being good at business, had a reasonable idea of when their loans were going to sour.

Add to this, the recurring patterns of huge end of day and end of week sell-offs on Wall Street, during this time, quashing hopes for stock market stability.

Then there was the prevention of the investigation of Fannie and Freddie, the campaign funding kickbacks of the same to the Democrat Congressmen who "helped" them, the revised Community Reinvestment Act which provided political correctness to rampant bad mortgages, the coercive tactics of Soros-backed ACORN, demanding that banks give out many more bad loans, and one wonders just what strings and wool can be pulled.

And keep in mind, this is the same Congress which ramrodded two crisis deepening, trillion dollar "acts" of economic sabotage upon us, since September.

Convenient coincidences abound. So do cunning and stealth by the powerful -- along with profound media ignorance. Yes we do look forward to gaining more tidbits of need-to-know information from Congress. (The Good Lord knows we don't expect the same from the new Executive Branch, since critical information to which voting American Citizens are entitled, fails to come, from the man who attacks those who seek it, Barack Obama -- or is that Barry Soetoro, the new, Indonesian "president" of the United States?)

Yes, let us have some further dialogue with Congress. As Rep. Kanjorski relates, they may need it.

Attack Occurred 9/11 [?] - Manufactured Catastrophe: The Cat is Out of the Bag in the MarxoFascist War on Our American Freedom & Personal Livelihoods


Update, 2/14: THIS ATTACK UPON OUR ECONOMY OCCURRED ON 9/11/2008[?]
That [seems to be the case] according to Rep. Kanjorski of Pennsylvania (D); see video below.

I.O. had written below, "This is WAR UPON AMERICA, much more threatening than 9/11.What are we going to do about it?" We now have a kind of correction to make: This WAS 9/11 [according to one reasonable analysis] Comment to this article:

Anonymous said...
Please listen to the video closely. Kanjorski states that there was a closed meeting of Congress on about the 15th of September. This would be a MONDAY. Then he lets it slip out that the financial meltdown occurred on a Thursday... of the previous week.

This would be THURSDAY - SEPT. 11

Yes, a FINANCIAL TERRORIST ATTACK occurred on Thursday, September 11, 2008, the seventh anniversary of 9/11. And no one is telling us
about it!

God help us!
February 14, 2009 6:16 AM

To this, I will add, as reported yesterday in I.O.:

"We have a once in a generation chance to act boldly, to turn adversity into
opportunity, and use this crisis as a chance to transform our economy for the 21st century."

- Barack Hussein Obama, 2/12/2009, according to email from grassfire.org

God help us, indeed. This outrageously unreported story will be discussed further on live net-radio this Monday, 2/16, 8pm ET,,, 5pm PT on "The Awakening, with Hanen & Arlen."

Original post, 2/12/2009, evening:

It's been published on other site(s) with my blessing [an email I sent, as below, slightly edited] and I hear it may be on its way to Sen. John McCain. Does he care? Feel free to spread it everywhere, too. I suggest that everyone who cares about America email this information, about the Kanjorski confession -- to everyone who has an email address that he has or finds, everywhere in the world. Also, faxed, mailed, and otherwise shoved before the faces of everyone within reach.

AMERICA, ARE YOU AWAKE?
HEED WHAT REP. KANJORSKI HAS SAID

Or do you want to live on PLANET FASCIST-SOROS, subsector MARXOFASCIST-OBAMA?

This is about real treason, real economic terrorism, and real mega-tampering into the sacred process of The Sovereign American Citizens' national election (getting us our illegitimate "president"). And the government/media cover-up is the second sedition.

This is WAR UPON AMERICA, much more threatening than 9/11.
What are we going to do about it?


This is the email I sent out last night, slightly edited.

From: "Arlen Williams"

Americans,

Congress knows. They all know (or should know) and just enough are cooperating to keep it happening. None of them are telling us -- except for one, now.

Please read the attached and watch the video. It goes far, far beyond "important news." After you do, please consider forwarding it to your entire email database -- including business and professional contacts. (No apologies from me to my personal business contacts. It is urgent and vital.)

Mushroom management of Sovereign Americans must end NOW. It is time for glasnost in America. Please forgive the understatement of this title:

For more context, on Soros, Obama, and all -- also for the obvious solution (along with investigation, prosecution, and a military intervention if necessary): how Barack Obama must rightfully be declared a fictitious "president," since he is not a natural born Citizen, at http://investigatingobama.blogspot.com/

God save America from these apostate, fascist, self-made illegitimates,
Arlen Williams

PS: Add to this, the huge, consecutive Friday sell-offs into Wall St., during our pre-election "crisis," well revealed to America at the time by Mike Huckabee -- and the public "slips of the tongue" by apparently subversive Senators Charles Schumer and Harry Reid, contributing to the destruction of IndyMac, by Schumer -- said to be the catalyst for the entire mortage meltdown -- and in Reid's case, exacerbating the crisis among critical insurance companies. Does it need to get clearer?

If you are not convinced, please stay and do some more reading. The dots connected for you should be enough to relate "probable cause," fellow Americans.

Have you listened to the words out of this man's mouth, yet?


[Look] I was there when the Secretary and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve came those days and talked with members of Congress about what was going on [it was about September 15th.] Here’s the facts, and we don’t even talk about these things. On Thursday [September 18] at about eleven o’clock in the morning, the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion dollars was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help. They pumped a hundred and five billion dollars in the system and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. They decided to close the operation, close down the money accounts and announce a guarantee of $250,000 per account so there wouldn’t be further panic out there, and that’s what actually happened.

If they had not done that, their estimation was that by 2 o’clock that afternoon, five-and-a-half trillion dollars would have been drawn out of the money market system of the United States, would have collapsed the entire economy of the United States, and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed. Now we talked at that time about what would happen if that happened. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it.

And that’s why, when they made the point we’ve got to act and do things quickly we did. Now Secretary Paulson said, “Let’s buy out these sub-prime mortgages.” That’s when he came to Congress. But he said, “Give us latitude and large authority to do many things as we decide necessary. And give us seven hundred billion dollars to do that.”

Shortly after we enacted our bill with those very broad powers. The U.K. came out and said, “No, we don’t have enough money to buy toxic assets. Instead, we’re going to put our money into banks so that their equity grows and they’re not bankrupt.” And so the U.K. started that process and that’s true. It was much cheaper to put more money in banks as equity investment than to start buying their bad assets, because it became early determined that we’d probably have to spend three or four trillion dollars of taxpayer’s money to buy these bad assets. And we didn’t have… we only had seven hundred billion dollars. So Paulson made a complete switch, went in and started putting money in buying securities and reinvesting in the banks of the United States. Why? Because if you don’t have a banking system you don’t have an economy. And although we did that, it wasn’t enough money, and as fast as we did that, the economy has been falling, and the reason last week… We’re really no better off today than we were three months ago because we’ve had a decrease in the equity positions of banks because other assets are going sour by the moment….

Obama Quote: Using Crisis to Transform Economy


"We have a once in a generation chance to act boldly, to turn adversity into opportunity, and
use this crisis as a chance to transform our economy for the 21st century."

- Barack Obama, yesterday, 2/12/2009, according to grassfire.org

True Cost of Bogus "Stimulus," $3.27 Trillion, Plus Likely Bailouts = Over $5 Trillion (not Including Obama's "Healthcare" and "Environmental" Costs)

It's intentionally destroying the economy, "stupid."

This "stimulus" of manufactured catastrophe: $3.37T + total "bank bailouts": $1.8T + expected state bailouts: $40B+ (I.O's rough estimate) = roughly $5.2-trillion, over the next ten years. That does not include planned "healthcare reform," nor the punitive effects of the "environmental" ploys of the Obama despots (e.g., "cap and trade," socialist make-work projects), etc.

Accumulated, this will not stimulate the economy. It will destroy the economy and our livelihoods. There will not be that much available money in a world this will drive into recession. Therefore, once again: we see the Sorosian tactics of destroying currency (including extreme inflation) and this time, our entire economy -- perhaps, nearly the entire world's economy, as the dominoes fall.

Is there anyone who can deny that these people seek to eliminate the free American economy, as they would send us into depression, and turn the American "masses" into proletariat dependents upon the state?

From the Heritage Foundation...
All of the major news outlets are reporting that the stimulus bill voted out of conference committee last night has a meager $789 billion price tag. This number is pure fantasy. No one believes that the increased funding for programs the left loves like Head Start, Medicaid, COBRA, and the Earned Income Tax Credit is in anyway temporary. No Congress under control of the left will ever cut funding for these programs. So what is the true cost of the stimulus if these spending increases are made permanent?

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) asked the Congressional Budget Office to estimate the impact of permanently extending the 20 most popular provisions of the stimulus bill. What did the CBO find? As you can see from the table below, the true 10 year cost of the stimulus bill $2.527 trillion in in spending with another $744 billion cost in debt servicing. Total bill for the Generational Theft Act: $3.27 trillion.

Do you not understand what Obama, Pelosi, etc. mean by "transformational" and by Obama's claim, "I will change the world?"

Simpson: Democrats Call for “Truth and Reconciliation”

by Jim Simpson

The Obama administration has moved forward with lighting speed to impose its agenda upon us before anyone can mount an effective opposition. This has obviously been planned for a long time. That we have been so poorly served by our duly elected politicians, especially three Senate Republicans and virtually the entire Democrat Party, is discouraging beyond words.

Unless some of these people get a serious dose of moral integrity overnight, Obama's massive spending bill will become law, and the beginning of the end of our great nation will hove into sight.

It is now becoming apparent that a large proportion of the bill is nothing more than a massive collection of earmarks (although I told you that would happen a few weeks ago.) But it is different in that the lengths they have gone to hide the authorship of those earmarks are unprecedented.

Usually earmarks have the lawmaker's name attached to them, but not in this bill. You have to really search to find the person behind it. But that person is there, when you look hard enough.

There is the pathetic case of the $300 million "golfcart" earmark, only they call them "neighborhood electric vehicles." Is this the beginning of mandated green cars like the Pelosi GTxi?

Since these carts are produced in North Dakota and Byron Dorgan (D-ND) sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee, it seems obvious that he would be the source of this particular "stimulus." Or maybe he just happens to be from North Dakota?

Then there is the case of the $2 billion for a "near-zero emmissions power plant." The only place one of these was ever considered was, you guessed it, Illinois. But the project was abandoned due to the evolution of newer technologies.

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich then tried to restart the project with a half-million dollar lobbying effort paid for by Illinois taxpayers. He's gone now, of course... But the entire Illinois delegation has apparently been trying to get this back on the burner too, so presto chango! There it is. An earmarked $2 billion waste of taxpayer dollars brought to you by No-Earmarks-Obama and the most ethical administration in history.

Where have we heard that before? Oh yes, Nancy Pelosi, who promised, upon ascending to the Speakership that her's would be "the most ethical Congress in history." She's trying to "save the planet" after all.

And before that? Oh yes, when Bill Clinton took office didn't he promise that his would be "the most ethical administration in history?"

Can't these guys come up with any new material? I would laugh if I didn't want to cry so much. But the thing is, they're not comedians. It is as if an enemy of the United States scoured the land for the most inept, arrogant, dishonest, self-serving, piggish scum they could find and then put them up for office because they knew these people would be like one-man wrecking crews.

Our enemies couldn't have done a better job if they had picked them themselves. Hmmm... Maybe they did.

But just when you thought the scum couldn't get much slimier, along comes Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) with the most contemptible bit of hubris in a week that has been overflowing with it. Back in the 1980s, Patrick Leahy had to resign from the Intelligence Committee after a series of classified leaks, one of which may have caused an undercover agent's death. As Discover The Networks relates:

During the mid-1980s, the heart of the Reagan administration, Leahy served as vice-chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. It was while in this position of power that he earned the nickname "Leahy the Leaker." According to a 1987 San Diego Union-Tribune report, in a 1985 television appearance Leahy disclosed classified information that one of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's telephone conversations had been intercepted. The information that Leahy revealed had been used in the operation to capture the Arab terrorists who had hijacked the Achille Lauro cruise ship and killed American citizens, and the Union-Tribune claimed that Leahy's indiscretion may have cost the life of at least one of the Egyptian operatives involved in that operation.
There were other similar indescretions until he was finally forced off the committee.

The man should have been shot for treason. But instead we have him proposing a "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" like South Africa had. That he of all people would suggest such a thing is a moral outrage.

Now, for anyone to implicitly compare the Bush administration to the Apartheid South African government is beyond belief, but to even think that every controversial issue was not exhaustively investigated during Bush's tenure is to simply be astonishingly forgetful or unconscionably ignorant of facts. But I don't think Leahy is ignorant of anything. The man knows exactly what he is doing.

Patrick Leahy and the entire Democrat Party need to take a deep breath. They have committed countless crimes over the past thirty years with almost complete impunity because of the help they get from the media, who either suppress the story, discredit it, or attack the storyteller. They have been further aided and abetted by a hapless Republican Party and a law enforcement establishment that is too timid or corrupt to go after these people.

The current administration likely got where it is through an extensive network of corrupt organizations and activities, and much of the crisis we face today was indeed manufactured by the Left.

However, I have resisted believing that the timing of the financial crisis - despite coming as it did almost immediately following the stunningly successful Republican Convention when John McCain secured a sizeable lead in the polls - was anything more than dumb luck for Obama.

A recent revelation in a C-SPAN interview, however, raises some interesting questions. Democratic Representative Paul Kanjorski (PA-11), Capital Market Subcommittee Chair in the US House of Representatives, recently revealed the following:
Here’s the facts, and we don’t even talk about these things. On Thursday [September 18] at about eleven o’clock in the morning, the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion dollars was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help. They pumped a hundred and five billion dollars in the system and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks...

Prior to this, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had just lost 800 points between September 15 and 17. Most of that was attributed to the failure of Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch's emergency buyout, and a host of other bad financial news.

I have learned from an insider in the financial business that on September 18th, most of the money was pulled by institutional investors, pension funds and the like, in response to the mounting bad news. So it remains likely that the financial system's problems had just reached critical mass.

Still Lehman Brother's strong preference for the Democrat Party leaves one wondering. Could they have held off another month? Another three months? Did a Democrat Treasury Secretary take it upon himself to whisper in the ear of his friends at Lehman Brothers that "now is the time?"

During the election Real Clear Politics kept an interactive timeline in graphic form showing the ups and downs of the presidential candidates' poll numbers. Go to the RCP website here and scroll down the page to the graph. McCain enjoyed one of his few leads in the polls immediately following the Republican convention. But that lead began plummeting on the 15th. Obama jumped ahead 1.9 points on September 19th, the day after the run on the bank and his lead only increased after that.

These may be coincidences, but there is no doubt that the bad economic news was a great boon to Obama's candidacy. One thing is for certain. The Democrats were able to exploit this situation quickly, accusing Republicans of causing the crisis with their "free market, anti-regulatory policies."

Nothing could be further from the truth of course. Thirty years of Democrat efforts to turn banks into welfare housing financiers indisputably created this financial crisis, despite Republican attempts to rein them in. But as usual, Republicans were inexplicably inept in seizing upon this fact to put the blame where it has always belonged: with Democrats.

In any case, we have faced one outrage after another since Obama took office. One bait and switch after another. One lie camouflaged by a smile after another. One broken promise after another.

The economic "stimulus" plan is a vast earmark bill that will stimulate tons of political capital for all those Democrat legislators too gutless to put their names to it. And yes, it will even bring some jobs to those neighborhoods (while the rest of us flounder.) You will be certain to hear about all the prosperity and happy Kulaks, but about the downside, our loyal media will be deafeningly silent.

We have endeavored to expose some of the other horrible things in this monstrosity, like seniors being cut out of "age related" medical procedures, or $4.2 billion going to ACORN. We will doubtless discover others to our horror after the bill becomes law.

So we have about had it.

If the Left wants to keep attacking on issues they know to be utterly without merit, they must know they are pushing this country towards civil war. I think they have actually been spoiling for it. I think it is part and parcel of their crisis strategy. Either we completely capitulate to their overtly fraudulent accusations, to their wholesale theft of our economy, to their relentless character assassinations, to their criminalizing of policy differences, to their treasonous activities, to their shameless power grabs, or we fight.

Are they going to come to their senses, ever? Or will they carry this country to anarchy? For that’s where we are headed if this stuff doesn’t stop.

Fascist War Against America: Geithner Wants $1-Trillion More for Bank “Rescue” -- The Plan: Destroy the Free American Economy

There is still time to spread the word. Please contact your U.S. representative and senators. Contact governors' offices too, so they feel the heat. The "stimulus" bill is in conference and must again pass both houses of Congress.

You may want to send this page to your friends and family. I.O. and ally sites intend to list some of the many treacheries of this bogus "stimulus" and "bailout" funding, very soon. For now, please listen to Monday night's "The Awakening" broadcast, including Jim Simpson, who wrote "Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis."

These Marxists/fascists do not want to stimulate the American economy. They want to destroy the American economy. They do not care how the money is spent. They want to total probably $4-Trillion of "emergency measures," to destroy the dollar, create hyperinflation, and make the majority of Americans dependent upon the Obama state, for their livelihoods.

Stimulus Battle May Signal Tough Sell for Bank Rescue
By Matthew Benjamin, 2/8/2009

This is “Manufactured Crisis,” as you may have read in last election season’s revelationary article by Jim Simpson [who is interviewed in tonight's "Awakening" program, joining Philip Berg and Carmen], but that is now an understatement. It is becoming manufactured catastrophe — nationwide and worldwide. A free, American economy will not be able to survive without the dollar being driven down to the depths and all of our personal economies being hit with hyperinflation.

The global fascist manipulators (the friends of George Soros) have combined with America’s neo-Marxist (Cloward-Piven) movement, behind Barack Obama, to “go all in.” They have decided not to do this gradually. They are trying to bring America down within Obama’s (fictitious) first year of office, gambling they can bring the disaffected, destroyed, and panicked into America’s new, fascist “patronage” workforce. Add the mega-buildup of bossed union membership caused by “card-check,” and you have the proletariat masses eating out of the hands of the Fascist State of America. So is their plan.

Remember the Cloward-Piven and Saul Alinsky rules: cause “disruption” and then take advantage of people’s “self-interest” — in having a job with either the state or state controlled “private” industry.

This is a revolution against this nation right here, right now. It is stealth war and it is being waged against you and against me — massively.

This will be discussed in tonight’s “The Awakening, with Hanen & Arlen” tonight, 2/9, at 8pm ET…5pm PT. After the program, it is available via archive at the Sentinel Radio Network’s blogtalk site.

What are we going to do about it? Let us pray, plan, and do, effectively, together, the work of saving the American nation.

Please, also listen to the interview with Philip Berg in Hour 2, who is attempting to remove this fictitious "president" from office.

Chicago Precinct Worker Reveals Obama’s Organizing Plan



Can it be clearer? This is the patronage side of the neo-Marxist plan to build a new "Democrat" campaign army, Chicago style on steroids, to support the new fascist nation.

Learn more about it on tonight's "The Awakening, with Hanen & Arlen" We may have a special guest in the first hour. [We did: Jim Simpson.] The second hour's special guest: Philip J. Berg, the Obama eligibility challenger.

Thank you, my ol' Chicago neightbor, God bless you and wake up America with your help.

Obama Decrees: Massive Immigration of Hamas Refugees from Gaza?

I.O. offers the beginning of an article, "Obama Signs Presidential Determination Allowing Palestinians Loyal to Hamas ot Resettle in US," by Kim Priestap in Wizbangblog (2/7) and encourages you to read the rest. Take a look at that bulleted list. Did you know?

President Barack Obama has signed a presidential determination allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to resettle in the United States. Sure, what can go wrong when we allow hundreds of thousands of people who have been, as Mark Steyn memorably described, "marinated" in a "sick death cult," who voted for Hamas, and 55% of whom support suicide bombings live here and at the American taxpayers' expense:

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.

The "presidential determination" which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.

President Obama's decision, according to the Register, was necessitated by "the urgent refugee and migration needs" of the "victims."

Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

Let's review some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since he was inaugurated a little more than two weeks ago:

  • His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.
  • His first one on one interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.
  • He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.
  • He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
  • He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and 9/11.
  • Today we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to and live in the US at American taxpayer expense.

Anyone else seeing a pattern here?

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

Jim Simpson on the RINO 'Useful Idiot' Senators: Three People Have Just Ruined this Country

Despite the corrupted work of the foolish, this is not over. Please contact your senators and Republican senate leaders. Demand that final passage of this bill be filibustered and voted down.
Excerpted from truly level-headed Jim Simpson, an I.O. ally (link placed by I.O.):
All it takes is a few... Republican Senators Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Arlen Specter committed treason tonight. That’s right, out and out treason. They took it upon themselves, these three megalomaniacal, mindless, bloated egos, to spit in the face of the entire Republican Party, virtually the whole economics profession and 67 percent of the American people, to give Senate Democrats enough votes to pass Obama’s monstrous “stimulus” bill.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!????


This bill will NOT stimulate the economy. This bill will NOT create new private sector jobs. This bill will NOT help our current situation. It will destroy this country. This bill is a PAYOFF to Obama’s corrupt supporters at ACORN and in the UNIONS, the rest is a laundry list of Democrat pork and pie-in-the-sky projects that will only bear fruit YEARS down the road, if at all!

---
This bill is literally the worst legislation I have seen since I began paying attention to Congress over twenty years ago. And unless Republicans pull off a miracle in conference, this bill is a done deal.


And from me: just add "card check" and keep building extra-governmental armies including "Organizing for America," and the Marxofascist insurgency will have deeply taken root, to bleed this nation of its very sustenance and lay its half conscious body upon the operating table of the world's despot elite.

Sam Sewell: State Sovereignty Movement

This may seem like an aside for I.O., but it may also be about ways for "the States... and the [P]eople" to defend ourselves against the political insurgency behind Obama's face -- including any unfunded mandates, which are apparently what have caused these initiatives.

by Sam Sewell

To round out our discussion on the State Sovereignty Movement from last night:

As things stand right now it looks like Oklahoma, Washington, Hawaii, Missouri, Arizona, New Hampshire, Georgia, California, Michigan and Montana will all definitely consider sovereignty bills this year. They may be joined by Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania where legislators have pledged to introduce similar bills. Twenty states standing up to the federal government and demanding a return to constitutional principles is a great start, but it remains to be seen whether legislatures and governors are brave enough or angry enough to follow through. As the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress push for more expansion of federal power and spending that may help provide the motivation needed for the sovereignty movement to take off.

And here is the letter I forwarded to my Florida State Senator and Representative with the subject line “DITTO FROM ME!!”:

A message from Harry Riley to all members of Patriots For America - Florida on Constitutional Emergency!

To: The Honorable Brad Drake
State of Florida

Re: Declaration of Sovereignty

Dear Representative Drake,

My name is COL Harry Riley and I am a very concerned constituent of yours.

As you should be well aware, our Federal style of government has gotten completely out of control on everything from the "Stimulus Package(s)" to Mr. Obama's signing of the SCHIP Bill on Feb. 4, 2009. We are continuing to slide down this ever slippery slope of democracy to the extent that it has finally landed us in the deep valley of socialism. If we do not stop this downward spiral now, we will end up like other great nations in the past, with the inevitable outcome of ... communism. I for one will not let that happen, and I hope that you won't either.

Therefore, I am demanding that you, as my State Legislator, immediately - with or without help from other Legislators - fashion and present a Bill that Declares Florida Sovereignty from the Federal Government since they continue to ignore and dismantle the Constitution of the United States of America. This would enable an immediate return to the Jeffersonian principles of Government as well as that of the Tenth Amendment, that states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."

I would like to encourage you that you would be in very good company when you submit, or yield, to the will of the people of Florida. Listed are some of the other states that have adopted, or have in committee, such a Bill: New Hampshire, Missouri, Arizona, Washington, Oklahoma, Montana, & Michigan. I would hope that you will not only see the legal, logical, moral, and the ethical reasoning behind such a Bill, but that you would also recall, and hide deep within your heart, the Founders dream and establishment of our great Republic. We must not, now or ever, relinquish their endeavors.

ObamaNation News to discuss, in our fight for freedom...


1. What havoc is wrought in the Socialist-Stimulus Bill?

2. Why are states asserting their sovereignty all of a sudden? An American movement against a Marxofascist insurrection?
Across the United States, it seems that States are suddenly intent on declaring their Sovereignty to the Federal Government. Specifically citing the 10th Amendment of our beloved Constitution, reminding our central government where the real power lies, and of the fact that the Federal Government's power is derived from the will of the States (and of the People) and even going as far as to state (in some cases) that the United States Government has been trampling our Constitution by acting outside of its enumerated powers specified in our founding document. The links below go to each State's recently-introduced actual piece of legislation.

3. Is a major military conflict with Obama beginning?
"Pentagon Brass Chafes at Obama's Iraq Pullout Plan," TSRN blog from Inter Press Service, Lebanon
"Judge Denies Executive Order at GITMO," War Crimes blog, 1/29

4. Obama's 'Muslim Outreach Initiative' -- "Not that there's anything wrong with that," but what does it mean, Barack-style?
Negotiating with Muslim nations before the inauguration, was he?
And with Islamist imposers, before and during the campaign?
For whom was William Perry communicating with the the Iranian regime, last year, Bush or Obama?
Just what did Obama tell the Muslim nations, immediately after his inauguration?

5. Where do the 'natural born Citizen' challenges stand, now?
"Berg v. Obama - What's This? An Eligibility Case Examined on the Merits?," Investigating Obama, 2/4/2008
"Discussion2: Kerchner et. al. v. Obama et. al. - Discussion Thread #2," blog of Mario Apuzzo, Attorney, 2/4/2008
These and others listed in, "Eligiblity Lawsuits," The Right Side of Life, continually updated

6. Those pesky rumors, about the neo-Marxist messiah...

Berg v. Obama - What's This? An Eligibility Case Examined on the Merits?

Can it be? Which merits?

I.O. does not have time to examine this, right now (though it has begun to look for contributing investigative correspondents, or directly cross-posting bloggers). Instead, the following posts are suggested, where description and commentary are found:

Rumors Abound! Let's Keep Our Heads, Compatriots -- Updated 2/3: Obama's Organized Army

perspective, Arlen Williams
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says:
Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
The times are changing and the rumors, they are a-flyin'. Among the NObama, Obamologist, and natural-born-Citizenist blogs, forums, and emails, people are passing it along that...
  • The fix is in, at the Supreme Court -- and everywhere! That's what Larry the Policeman seems to have told us. Anyone in government lifting a finger to investigate Obama will have it chopped off. There is now nowhere to go, to show America that Bogus POTUS is an agent provocateur!
  • Obama's big organizing effort will immediately be turned into a "civilian national security force," thug army, in every neighborhood!
  • A large-scale "terrorist act" will be perpetrated against America by the powers that be behind Barry, giving him an excuse to declare martial law!
  • Assets will be frozen in banks and once they are thawed, dollars will have turned to dimes -- or Ameros.
  • Barack Obama's minions will be screening emails, forums, and blogs, to persecute the fact finders and whistle blowers!
  • Those found to be disparaging "The One" will be herded into those FEMA camps, on those military bases!
  • The anti-Christ, son of perdition, the beast, or the spirit of Adolph Stalin Tse-Tung, or "Bob" from Twin Peaks will be revealed between the ears of Barack -- and dogs and cats will start sleeping together and it will be m-a-s-s---h-y-s-t-e-r-i-a-!-!-!
  • All, within the next few weeks!
Amidst all these rumors and anonymous throw-it-against-all-walls postings, where does the truth lie? Wait, can the "truth lie?" What does that even mean?! Who cares!? Grab the guns, ammo, plastic sheeting and let's start panicking! And don't forget the duct tape!

HOLD IT!

Please? Just... can we... hold it a sec? Take a deep breath and step away from the computers, everybody. (Okay... come back close enough to read, please.) Perhaps the biggest reason for us to keep our heads about all of this is, in some of it, there may be a kernel of truth. Or, an ACORN, sure. So, that is why we need to apply "the fruit of the Spirit" including "self control," a part of which is circumspection -- which means "looking all around" -- and putting things into context with good perspective. Let us take these rumors one by one and do just that. I will try to start us going. If you would like to take it from there, please post comment(s).

1. Larry the Policeman (posted 2/2). This post became a hot item after being posted in eligibility challenger Philip Berg's ObamaCrimes' forum, a few days ago now (typo's forgiven: forum post -- and emphasis is I.O's):
written by larry, January 25, 2009

I am a retired (25) police officer and spent 26 years in the United States Air force as a MSGT in charge of Training for the 482 Security Police Squadron. Was in Vietnam and also served in the Gulf War. For the last year I have been watching this site on a daily basis not believing that Barack Heussein Obama has become our president. I coach a High School softball team and everyone of my players had to porduce a birth certificate to be elgible to play through the state. I hate to say this, but we in a total crisis and something will happen if this man is allowed to continue to lead this once proud nation. I have never posted before but know many FBI, Secret Service Agents, CIA and many other Federal Agents who have told me they are not to discuus this issue about Obama or they will be terminated from employment. We all need to take a step back and pray that something will come out on all of these lawsuits. I spoke to the Supreme Court Justice in my state who advised that the US Supreme Court have been ordered to throw out any case that deal with the fraud President elect. May God Hlep us All
I.O. read through the numerous Larry Bishop (pseudonym) post and spoke with MommaE, who had spoken to Larry on the phone. Larry was vetted to a degree and MommaE says he checks out with her.

However, it was also noted by observers at Zapem that t
he Hatch Act prohibits or restricts federal employees' participation in election-related work and that it is common for government investigators to be warned not to do private work aside from their assigned duties. Witness the trouble Ohio Job & Family Services director, Helen Jones-Kelly caused herself for investigating "Joe The Plumber," Joseph Wurzelbacher -- all the more reason for internal memos! Does that explain all there is to explain, here? I.O. does not know.

As to the alleged tip-off by the state Supreme about the federal Supremes, one would want to know the exact words used, in what sentence(s), and in what context. It could have been an off the cuff remark said in conjecture, possibly which Larry read into. It could be the rantings of a drunken judge in a barroom. It could mean a number of things, only one of which is exactly what those words of the pseudonymous Larry relate on the face of it. I.O. requests that Larry ask MommaE to help to put him in touch with a lawyer, if he does not already have one, then to make a more detailed personal statement in writing, whether public or in cognito. Seriously. This allegation is about treason. It is hardly something to "post and ghost" about.

2. Obama's organized army (posted 2/3). Effectively, the man started this rumor himself, pushing "community organizing" and referring, during his campaign, to a "civilian national security force, that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded," as the United States military. The Obamacentric organizing has continued, through the transition and into this "presidency," with "Organizing for America," focusing on, among other things, policy advocacy for the socialism-stimulus bill.

Presently, they want Obama followers to hold house meetings, to sell their unprecedented socialist mega-pork plan, which feeds money to hugely burdensome statist programs while it funds socialist and illegal immigrant shadow party operations, ACORN and La Raza. The "stimulus bill" balloons our national debt, overburdening future taxpayers. Such tax burdens sap personal investment into our economy, put a vice-like squeeze upon church and charitable giving, and severely impose upon our general economic freedom and the opportunity to better our condition. Obama's ops serve their neo-Marxist spin by a video. You can sign up for it, here. Want to?

Is there reason to be concerned? Gravely concerned. Is this an unprecedented and fascistic attempt at manipulating the political process of America's Sovereign Citizens, in a top-down fashion? Yes. Is it a thug army? Only by a poetic usage of those words, may that now be. (Does that mean "yes?" You decide.) Is it a "civilian national security force?" No -- well -- at least not yet and by the context of any surfacing plans, or the potential reactions to such developments by Americans, that would not seem soon to come -- not by any conventional measure of political feasibility, at least. Just look at the backlash about ACORN during the campaign, though the mass media was loathe to admit the news. But, could some sort of national or regional crisis cause such a thing to occur? Possibly. Such things happen in nations, or nations would not lose their freedom.

I.O. suggests you call this massive Obama operation, of "organizing" Sovereign Americans and illegal immigrants, a massive, new plan aimed at corrupt, superparty political domination, with the potential for intimidation campaigns to follow. It is well on its way, with the ends not in sight. And as with the "ends," we do not know of the "means" to be applied in the near-term future. Call it "code Red," but not quite the physicians' "code blue." Or, by another well-known analogy, call it the organizing of the frogs in the kettle.
