Radical Royalty - Obama's Federal Reserve Pick - Sarah Bloom Raskin

Obama File 104, by Trevor Loudon, of New Zeal

A seat on the U.S Federal Reserve Board, carries tremendous power. The seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. A full term is fourteen years. During that time, a board member can influence the financial policies of the world's most powerful economy. In some ways the seven men and women, have more power than Congress or even the President himself.

That's why appointments to the Federal Reserve Board deserve as much scrutiny as those to the Supreme Court.

President Barack Obama recently made three nominations to the Federal Reserve Board, Janet Yellen, Peter Diamond and Sarah Bloom Raskin.

Janet Yellen, Peter Diamond, Sarah Bloom Raskin

While most "Obama watchers" said little, some commentators from the left did take notice;

Democratic Socialists of America member, Larry Mishel of the Economic Policy Institute was pleased with the appointments;
I think these are all great choices, and ones that will move Fed policy in the needed direction -- responsive to the needs of middle-class and working families.
Of the three named, one stands out in particular- Sarah Bloom Raskin. That surname should ring alarm bells.

That's because Sarah Bloom married into what is perhaps the closest America has to a radical "royal family".

Sarah Bloom Raskin is the wife of Jamin (Jamie) Raskin, a legal academic, Maryland State Senator and the son of Marcus Raskin - founder of the deservedly notorious Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).

In 1963 Marcus Raskin and his partner, the late Richard Barnet founded their radical "think tank" in Washington DC. IPS quickly grew to become a highly influential, source of ideas, guidance and training for the U.S. and international left. Its critics claimed that IPS consistently supported policies that aided the foreign policy goals of the Soviet Union and weakened the position of the United States.

Since its founding, IPS has consistently followed a pro-socialist line on foreign policy, defense and the economy and has spawned a large number of spin-offs, other think tanks and public affairs organizations following the same radical agenda.

In 1978, in an article in National Review, Brian Crozier , director of the London-based Institute for the Study of Conflict described IPS as the "perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were to originate openly from the KGB".

IPS became a place where leftist Congressmen, Senators and Capitol Hill staffers could mingle with third world radicals, East Bloc diplomats and even a few identified KGB agents.

The FBI was intensely interested in Raskin's institute, until IPS sued the agency and extracted a written agreement forbidding any further FBI surveillance - an agreement, I believe, that still stands today.

In the early 1990s IPS worked with Democratic Socialists of America and socialist Congressman Bernie Sanders to set up the now more than 80 strong Congressional Progressive Caucus. In 2003 IPS also helped set up the communist dominated "peace" umbrella organization, United for Peace and Justice.

Jamie Raskin admits that he grew up "in an environment of progressive politics".

An Harvard graduate and a "lifelong progressive Democrat", Jamie Raskin has brought "innovative ideas and a hands-on approach to government and politics at every level."

He has served on the Montgomery County Hate Crimes Commission, the Takoma Park Election Redistricting Task Force, and the Takoma Park Gun Policy Task Force.

In 1992, he served on President Clinton's Justice Department Transition Team for the Civil Rights Division. He was elected as a Kerry-Edwards Delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 2004.

A member of the board of FairVote, the nation’s leading electoral-reform group, Raskin is best known as "a champion of voters’ rights". In his 2003 book, “Overruling Democracy: The Supreme Court versus The American People,” Raskin documented the Rehnquist Court majority’s "assault on voting rights" in the 2000 election, and "placed Bush v. Gore in the context of a series of Supreme Court decisions undermining the participatory rights of the people."

Focusing on the Rehnquist majority’s statement that the “individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote” for president, Raskin argued for a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to vote (and to get one’s vote counted) to all Americans.

Raskin has served as a Washington-area Board Member for the Rev. Jesse Jackson's heavily communist infiltrated National Rainbow Coalition.

He has worked closely with far left Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. to advance a voting rights amendment in Congress, and with IPS affiliated Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton to "advance a voting rights agenda for the people of Washington, D.C."

Unsurprisingly Jamie Raskin has done pro bono legal work for SEIU, ACORN, Greenpeace and the radical led Students Against Sweatshops. He has written for two Democratic Socialists of America and IPS affiliated journals, The Nation and In These Times.

Raskin has also served on the board of Progressive Democrats of America, an IPS spinoff , which is effectively the activist wing of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

On March 10, 2006, IPS supporters, Yolande Fox and former Algerian Ambassador, Cherif Guellal hosted a book launch, in their Washington home, for Jamie Raskin's most recent book entitled "Overruling Democracy: The Supreme Court Versus the American People" at their home in Georgetown, Washington, D.C.

Fox was a former Miss America (1951) from Alabama. Cherif Guellal was a former top lieutenant to Algerian revolutionary leader Ahmed Ben Bella - winner of the 1964 Lenin Peace Prize. Guellal also had ties to the British Fabian Socialist Society in the early 1960s. During the 1967, Six-Day War, Algeria severed diplomatic relations to protest United States support for Israel. Instead of returning to Algeria, Guellal became a Fellow at IPS.

Other attendees included Jamie's father and Marcus Raskin, , James L. Hudson and Ira Lowe.

Cherif Guellal, Marcus Raskin, James L. Hudson

Jim Hudson, a long time Washington "insider' was recently appointed by President Obama to the Directorship of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

Ira Lowe is a trial lawyer and IPS supporter. He formerly represented IPS affiliate and Progressives for Obama founder, Tom Hayden.

Incidentally, IPS Trustee , Democratic Socialists of America member and Progressives for Obama co-founder Barbara Ehrenreich said of Raskin's book "This brilliantly argued and meticulously researched book both alarms and inspires"

Sarah Bloom has no known direct ties to the Institute for Policy Studies, but she did work for IPS connected Washington law firm Arnold & Porter from 1988 to 1993.

A current Arnold & Porter partner , Jeremy Karpatkin, is a former Democratic Socialists of America youth organizer. In 1992, in Chicago Karpatkin directed field operations during the successful Senate run of far left Democratic Party operative Carol Moseley Braun. Coincidentally Barack Obama ran the Project Vote voter registration drive that year that helped Moseley Braun to win. In 2004 Obama took over the same Senate seat.

Nearly three decades earlier, pioneering trial lawyer Charles Halpern became involved with IPS through Arnold & Porter. The firm handled IPS's legal work and partner Thurman Porter had been an IPS trustee.

Halpern became corporate secretary to IPS, keeping minutes and records. he began to attend IPS seminars and parties at the Institute and at the home of founder Marcus Raskin, where he met radicals "like Paul Goodman and Ivan Ilich".

When Raskin and several other activists were arrested for conspiring to obstruct the military draft, Halpern helped with the defense. Halpern flew with Raskin to a meeting with the other defendants and their lawyers at the Greenwich Village home of radical lawyer and secret Communist Party USA member Leonard Boudin - father of Weather Underground terrorist Kathie Boudin. Fellow terrorist Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn would later raise Kathie Boudin's son Chesa Boudin after she was jailed for her terrorist crimes.

The radical Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) was founded in 1968 by Charles Halpern and three other lawyers, with the assistance of former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, who chaired the CLASP board.

A veteran of several communist fronts, Goldberg was, in the late 1940s, a Chicago law partner of Abner Mikva. A life long time associate of communists and socialists and an IPS affiliate, Mikva went on to employ a young law clerk named Elena Kagan and to mentor and befriend a young Chicago lawyer named Barack Obama.

In 1999 Charles Halpern went on to found a New York based "think tank" Demos, an official partner organization of IPS. Among those recruited to set up and join the first board of Demos was a then obscure Illinois State senator named.......Barack Obama.

Several years later a young San Francisco communist named Van Jones was also recruited to serve on the Demos Board.

Strangely, Jones was suggested as a possible "Green Jobs Czar" for the Obama administration by Demos and IPS staffer Chuck Collins, in an article written several months before the 2008 Presidential elections.

Robert Kuttner is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Demos and serves on the board of the Economic Policy Institute with Larry Mishel. He is closely aligned to to Democratic Socialists of America, which has described Kuttner as a "socialist".

Kuttner was very pleased when Obama nominated Sarah Raskin to the Fed. He wrote in the Huffington Post March 14, 2010;
Obama has also just appointed three relative progressives to the Federal Reserve, including Sarah Bloom Raskin of Maryland, widely considered the best of the state financial regulators. There is not a single businessman or banker in the lot...
Will Sarah Bloom Raskin sail into fourteen years at the helm of the U.S. economy, on a pleasant face and zero scrutiny?

Or will Senate Republicans and the media do their job and ask some serious questions?

Overthrow Obama? A Compendium

As the disclaimer on our sidebar indicates, by publishing Ms. Matthis' compendium, we do not necessarily agree with the various texts and citations involved. In fact, I.O. suggests other means of defeating the Marxofascist revolution against America that adheres to and includes the person of Barack Obama, with its massive Cloward-Piven sabotage and Marxist theft, and its determined treason against our Sacred Sovereignties. We would also cite reasons supplemental to those below, for whatever action is appropriately taken in response, including those just given, plus the implications of lack of adherence to the two Citizen parent requirement inherent in the "natural born Citizen" clause of the U.S. Constitution, also the Sestak allegation of felony, etc.

That being said, Barack Obama represents an enemy government in Washington, D.C. never before encountered by the People of the United States of America and here is the article...


by Nancy Matthis at American Daughter

Contemplation of non-electoral removal of the Obama administration has been fermenting for over a year. Until now, it has remained fairly hidden below the surface of the public discourse. This week, it has virtually erupted due to a viral email.

On September 29, 2009, Newsmax published an article discussing overthrow of the Obama regime. The piece was a thoughtful discussion of the situation, written by a highly qualified former presidential adviser, and most definitely NOT incitement or advocacy. Nevertheless, Newsmax quickly removed the post from their website when a firestorm of criticism assailed them from the left.

The article remained available, however, as Google cache and in a mirror image captured by Talking Points Memo. Within the last few days, its circulation has exploded by email, and it has been reproduced in full on several websites such as Rense.com and Fellowship of the Minds. It can no longer be ignored. It has become a legitimate subject for discussion in the Blogosphere. Here is the original article:
Obama Risks a Domestic Military Intervention
By John L. Perry

There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America's military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the "Obama problem." Don't dismiss it as unrealistic.

America isn't the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn't mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it. So, view the following through military eyes:
  • Officers swear to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Unlike enlisted personnel, they do not swear to "obey the orders of the president of the United States."
  • Top military officers can see the Constitution they are sworn to defend being trampled as American institutions and enterprises are nationalized.
  • They can see that Americans are increasingly alarmed that this nation, under President Barack Obama, may not even be recognizable as America by the 2012 election, in which he will surely seek continuation in office.
  • They can see that the economy -- ravaged by deficits, taxes, unemployment, and impending inflation -- is financially reliant on foreign lender governments.
  • They can see this president waging undeclared war on the intelligence community, without whose rigorous and independent functions the armed services are rendered blind in an ever-more hostile world overseas and at home.
  • They can see the dismantling of defenses against missiles targeted at this nation by avowed enemies, even as America's troop strength is allowed to sag.
  • They can see the horror of major warfare erupting simultaneously in two, and possibly three, far-flung theaters before America can react in time.
  • They can see the nation's safety and their own military establishments and honor placed in jeopardy as never before.
So, if you are one of those observant military professionals, what do you do?

Wait until this president bungles into losing the war in Afghanistan, and Pakistan's arsenal of nuclear bombs falls into the hands of militant Islam?

Wait until Israel is forced to launch air strikes on Iran's nuclear-bomb plants, and the Middle East explodes, destabilizing or subjugating the Free World?

What happens if the generals Obama sent to win the Afghan war are told by this president (who now says, "I'm not interested in victory") that they will be denied troops they must have to win? Do they follow orders they cannot carry out, consistent with their oath of duty? Do they resign en masse?

Or do they soldier on, hoping the 2010 congressional elections will reverse the situation? Do they dare gamble the national survival on such political whims?

Anyone who imagines that those thoughts are not weighing heavily on the intellect and conscience of America's military leadership is lost in a fool's fog.

Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a "family intervention," with some form of limited, shared responsibility?

Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.

Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.

Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don't shrug and say, "We can always worry about that later."

In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation into this morass.
In a rare display of journalistic cowardice, Newsmax pulled not only the article, but also the author's biographical information, but not before Libertarian Leanings copied it in part. The author served two Democratic presidents and an ultra-liberal think tank.
Perry also has had a distinguished career in public policy. He served President Lyndon B. Johnson as deputy under secretary of commerce and was a White House speech writer and race-relations trouble-shooter for President Johnson.

In the Jimmy Carter administration, he was executive assistant to the under secretary of Housing and Urban Development and was interim director of public information for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

[...]

Perry was also assistant to the president of the National Association of Broadcasters, a member of the top-management team and director of public relations for the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tenn., and an academic fellow at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara, Calif.
That summarizes the current buzz. Let's take a look at the evolution of this topic on the Internet.

First Mentions

February 3, 2009 -- The question appeared on Answers.Yahoo! as Under the constitution we have the right to overthrow the government...how do you do that? in today's world.?:
Do you think the colonists had that right when they broke off from England? Yes, we do have the right, and we should really think about using it.

The first step would be declaring our rejection of the current government, along with a list of all the ways they have ignored the Constitution and abused their powers. Obviously, once we did that, they would try to stop us, and there would be a fight....

Actually the mention of overthrowing the government is found in the Declaration of Independence -- a document in which several men explained why they were pledging their lives in support of an armed revolution.
April 29, 2009 -- Someone posted a question on Ask.com asking Would it be possible for a military dictator to overthrow Obama? The preferred answer was:
Nope. Not at all possible.
But, there were some caveats, as well as thirteen other opinions. One commenter referred to an actual coup attempt against Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1933. The movie Seven Days in May, in which US military leaders plot to overthrow the US president, was also cited.

The question continues to be asked:

If Americans went to war to overthrow Obama whose side do you think your allies would take?

Does the Constitution allow the military to overthrow the Obama administration and the Democratic Party?

Is it too late to overthrow the Obama regime?

Do you think Barack Obama is guilty of treason and should be impeached?

How can freedom-loving Americans overthrow the corrupt government we now have in Washington?

Does the U.S.A. Military support Obama's ruination of the U.S. Constitution?

Blogging from the Left

August 1, 2009 -- The idea was broached on the Huffington Post by left-wing blogger Danny Schechter in Could Obama Be Overthrown?:
The tide of public opinion may be turning against the President. Pollsters report growing skepticism about health care reform, and more active hostility on racial matters, thanks to that "uncalibrated" expression of opinion on the arrest of Professor Gates in his own home. That remark turned him, in the eyes of some, from a small b black President into a militant Black Panther, or at least someone who can stereotyped as such.

These are the new controversial issues with no one right answer, and a noisy debate everywhere, but something else is also going on....

....The next thing you know, the type of removal of a democratically elected President that worked in Honduras might be attempted here at home. Don't say it can't happen here.... Some of us are still humming "We Shall Overcome" when our adversaries are chanting "We Shall Overthrow."
Note that this was published on a major website almost two full months before the Perry article appeared, and there was at that time no outcry from the left about public discussion of the topic.

Online Fantasy Game

October, 2009 -- Looking backward, it is hard to pinpoint the day this came online, but sometime last October the website United States of Earth published the multi-player browser strategy game 2011: Obama's Coup Fails. Modeled on World of Warcraft, the game was produced by eight libertarian programmers working at a secret location in Brooklyn, NY. Forty-year-old team leader Michael Russotto intends to develop the site as a for-profit venture. Elementary game play is free, but enhancements can be purchased.

From Mother Jones -- The Obama Coup:
Thu Oct. 22, 2009 3:02 AM PDT

Glenn Beck mysteriously killed. The GOP driven out of Congress. Obama proclaims himself the "Lost Imam." An online game exploits right-wing paranoia. — By David Corn
From Wired -- 2011: Obama’s Coup Fails Injects Politics Into Strategy Game:
November 10, 2009

Foes of President Barack Obama and his policies can vent their frustrations by engaging in fictional warfare, thanks to a new online strategy game with a heavy political component.

The satirical game 2011: Obama's Coup Fails, launched last month by a group of Ron Paul supporters that call themselves The Founders, throws players into combat against the crumbling Marxist forces of Obama’s loyalist Black Tigers, the Islamic fundamentalist Nation of Malsi and The Cong — a group of deposed Democratic congressional leaders. ...the game mixes strategy, trivia questions and community elements but has no particular ax to grind with Obama, according to Mike Lodispoto, one of the game's Libertarian founders. In fact, the next United States of Earth game will target President George W. Bush.

"We detest Republicans and Democrats alike," Lodispoto told Wired.com in an e-mail interview. The site was cooked up by Libertarians, but Lodispoto says United States of Earth employees are both Republicans and Democrats....
From Mediaite -- This Exists: Overthrow Futuristic Dictator Obama In This Online Game:
by Robert Quigley | 1:30 pm, November 19th, 2009

Wow. Online strategy gamers who wish to lead militias against Obama (?) can finally do so... Of course, the game is not very violent. No one in the Obama administration is killed or assassinated, the game's creator explains; they are merely "captured" by patriotic citizen armies.
Last November, Russia Today actually scored an in-person interview, in part videotaped. That footage was incorporated into several newscasts at the time, as below:

Misprison of Felony and Writ of Mandamus

March 13, 2010 -- Life on Sleepy Creek notes possible legal remedy:
It is our duty to arrest, charge and try these evil beasts in Washington and this is how we have to do it.... This is how we empower ourselves. Here is the weapon. Spread this to your lists and make it go viral before it's too late.
Two legal tools are cited. From The 'Lectric Law Library we have the following definitions...:
MISPRISION -- In its larger sense, this word is used to signify every considerable misdemeanor, which has not a certain name given to it in the law; and it is said that a misprision is contained in every treason or felony whatever. In its narrower sense it is the concealment of a crime. Misprision of treason, is the concealment of treason, by being merely passive for if any assistance be given, to the traitor, it makes the party a principal, as there is no accessories in treason. It is the duty of every good citizen, knowing of a treason or felony having been committed; to inform a magistrate. Silently to observe the commission of a felony, without using any endeavors to apprehend the offender, is a misprision. Misprisions which are merely positive, are denominated contempts or high misdemeanors; as, for example, dissuading a witness from giving evidence.

MISPRISION OF FELONY -- Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the U.S., conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the U.S. 18 USC Misprision of felony, is the like concealment of felony, without giving any degree of maintenance to the felon for if any aid be given him, the party becomes an accessory after the fact.
...and also this:
MANDAMUS -- The name of a writ, the principal word of which when the proceedings were in Latin, was mandamus, we command. It is a command issuing in the name of the sovereign authority from a superior court having jurisdiction, and is directed to some person, corporation, or, inferior court, within the jurisdiction of such superior court, requiring them to do some particular thing therein specified, which appertains to their office and duty, and which the superior court has previously determined, or at least supposes to be consonant to right and justice.Mandamus is not a writ of right, it is not consequently granted of course, but only at the discretion of the court to whom the application for it is made; and this discretion is not exercised in favor of the applicant, unless some just and useful purpose may be answered by the writ. This writ was introduced to prevent disorders from a failure of justice; therefore it ought to be used upon all occasions where the law has established no specific remedy, and where in justice and good government there ought to be one. Mandamus will not lie where the law has given another specific remedy.The 13th section of the act of congress of Sept. 24, 1789, gives the Supreme Court power to issue writs of mandamus in cases warranted by the principles and usages of law, to any courts appointed or persons holding office, under the authority of the United States. The issuing of a mandamus to courts, is the exercise of an appellate jurisdiction, and, therefore constitutionally vested in the supreme court; but a mandamus directed to a public officer, belongs to original jurisdiction, and by the constitution, the exercise of original jurisdiction by the supreme court is restricted to certain specified cases, which do not comprehend a mandamus. The latter clause of the above section, authorizing this writ to be issued by the supreme court to persons holding office under the authority of the United States, is, therefore, not warranted by the constitution and void.The circuit courts of the United States may also issue writs of mandamus, but their power in this particular is confined exclusively to those cases in which it may be necessary to the exercise of their jurisdiction.
While many bloggers seem to see some remedy in this approach, my personal opinion is that this is not strong enough to do the job. Only the Supreme Court would have the oversight to issue a writ against an administration, and the conflict between the Sept. 24, 1789 act of Congress and the Constitution would have to be resolved in a time-consuming legal wrangle. However, I am totally sympathetic to the blogger's premise. The quasi-legal destruction of the founding fathers' vision would be most ideally countered through legal channels.

Argument Against Trusting Elections

There are two major arguments against putting faith in an electoral remedy. First, Obama usurped the census from the Commerce Department and arbitrarily moved it under White House jurisdiction. Then he enlisted his left-wing crony organizations, such as ACORN, to do the legwork. This is seen by many as an attempt to influence districting and representation.

Second, the Democrats in Congress are moving aggressively right now to obtain amnesty, and possibly voting rights, for all the illegal aliens currently in the country, which would add 12 million more votes for the socialist agenda. On April 5 one commenter on an Examiner article put it this way:
I am beginning to think a violent take over is the only way out of the mess this Marxist and his enablers are getting us into. With ACORN and SEIU conducting the next census and the counting of illegal aliens [Obama] will forever change the landscape for ALL of us.

Eric Massa's Secret

May 24, 2010 -- On Monday, Esquire magazine broke the story of Eric Massa's secret. Titillatingly titled Eric Massa on David Petraeus Military Coup in the source code, which renders this teaser in Google search blurbs, the actual story is tamer. Former (and now disgraced) Congressman Eric Massa had met with the editors a month ago to divulge a secret he claimed to have been harboring.
Long before the Eric Massa scandal broke, the congressman carried the lonely burden of another secret that, if revealed, would turn his world upside down. An extraordinary look inside the mind of a man in the crisis of his lifetime.... He had told no one — no one on his congressional staff or in his family, not his parents, not even his wife....

Petraeus, the commander of United States Central Command, whose portfolio contains the worst trouble spots on the globe, including Iraq and Afghanistan, had recently met with Cheney — twice — and Cheney was trying to recruit him to run in 2012. Were he to be the nominee, Massa said, Petraeus would be in the unprecedented position of a military man running for president against his own commander in chief....
The increasingly irrational and emotional Massa described this as treason, as a "coup" and military overthrow. In fact, it could be done with complete legitimacy. Petraeus would have to retire first, and then he would be in no different stance than George Washington, Dwight Eisenhower, Wesley Clark, and other candidates with military background. And his professional dignity and record of military service certainly render him a credible candidate.

Current Blog Posts

Today, this article appeared -- A Country on the Brink:
This occupant of the White House (it is just too painful and too much of a show of respect to call him president) has done more to undermine the Constitution, democracy and the economy of this country than any of his predecessors. Since his inauguration he has shown nothing but contempt for our laws and the people of this country in order to lead the United States down the dark and crater-filled road to socialism....

IF THERE WAS EVER A TIME IN OUR HISTORY TO SAVE OUR BELOVED COUNTRY, IT IS NOW BEFORE ITS DESTRUCTION IS COMPLETE. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME OUR ENEMY AND IT IS AN ENEMY THAT MUST BE DEFEATED AT ALL COSTS.
Memorial Day is approaching, and this president who does not salute the flag plans to blow off the observance and take a family vacation to Chicago. Recall the famous lines from the poem In Flanders Fields?
....We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Few who understand the vision of our founding fathers can doubt that this President -- who goes abroad apologizing for our country, who bends the knee to foreign heads of state, who snubs our traditional allies and embraces socialist dictators -- has broken faith. If the time of reckoning should come, perhaps even the unquiet dead will align against him.

James Simpson's Chat with Mark Levin & His Cloward-Piven Articles Indexed for You

I.O. continues to implore you, o reader, to ask The Three SOVEREIGNTY NOW Questions, of your candidates and sitting politicians. And please pass them on to your favorite organization for electoral activism, so they can do the same.

Then, perhaps you would like to send seven more questions to your "conservative," or "moderate" elected officials in Congress and in your State House -- make it an even ten questions, total:
1. Cloward-Piven, do you get it? 2. Cloward-Piven, do you get it? 3. Cloward-Piven, do you get it?
4.
Do you get it? 5. Do you get it? 6. Cloward-Piven? 7. Eh?
Our compatriot and Frances Fox Piven's biggest fan, James Simpson was blessed with four minutes on the Mark Levin Show, a few days ago. That was Monday, 5/17. You can monitor it, if you click here and then move the slider over to 96 minutes.

As noted to Trevor Loudon on the last "Awakening," it is good, but rare, frankly, to see our bigger conservative media giving credit to our leading exposers of the conspiracy fact playing out in the Marxofascist war on/in America. After all, heroes get commendations at such a time, war time, even as others get wealthier from their work, bless their hearts, knowwhatImean?

Jim Simpson also put together an index of his Cloward-Piven articles on his DC Independent Examiner site, especially for Levin listeners clicking in. But it's for you, too; just click and see. And now, there is an excellent page to point out, when you put Cloward-Piven in the face of your crack state and national representatives and senators, also compatriots, family, friends, ex-friends, those who might be worth having as friends if they had a clue, etc.

See how it's done? All that is left now is the doing -- and the replacement of politicians who fail to heed the trumpet call to duty. - AW

PS: In case you didn't see it and want to, Sarah Palin's latest big speech, is presented and reviewed in light of these drastically important Cloward-Piven and American Sovereignty issues. Do you agree with its sentiments?

Thank you very much, Jim. Thank you very much, Trevor.

2 Degrees from Trotsky - Trevor Loudon on Obama, on The Awakening, Monday, Listen to the Recording

Update 5/25 - Last night's program was very informative! Please, do give it a listen. We learned that Barack Obama is only one person removed, in Marxist mentoring, from Lenin and especially Trotsky, themselves, for one thing. Listen in and hear how. Click, click, click.

This Monday evening, 5/24/2010, beginning 9pm ET

Q: What black man poses as green, but is very red?
A: Okay, Barack Obama, but I was thinking of Van Jones, who was commie-outed by Trevor Loudon.

Click to listen live via the Web, tonight.

Trevor Loudon, Exposer of Marxists
on The Awakening, with Arlen Williams
or listen in, or ask a question by phone at (646) 727-2652

Trevor is one of the world's leading researchers and reporters on the Marxofascist network, intent on controlling the (can you believe it?) world.
Yeah, like Pinky and the Brain, but probably a lot worse.

Trouble is, this is no cartoon and it is extremely serious.

No, it goes way, way beyond just a few Marxists in the White House, as if that travesty weren't evil enough. Ask Trevor with me, what he has just revealed.

Guest co-host and co-contributor: Tallulah Starr

I.O. has just posted a listing of "The Obama Files," the Marxist vital records reported by Trevor in his site, New Zeal. You can see that here, as you click over to the Sentinel Radio page for the program (and there, you can click a reminder for Monday night's program).

And Tuesday evening, on Sentinel Radio: Fightin' Words, with Walter Huston & David Lutchen
Since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's, civil rights have held a sacrosanct place in American political culture. Evoking them seems to make one boo-proof. No one would dare come out against civil rights, because a connotation has been crafted linking the term with decent and respectful behavior. But what really are civil rights? Why were they required to end institutional racism? Are civil rights inherently good? We consider these questions in light of the recent controversy surrounding comments by Rand Paul and John Stossel regarding Title II of the Civil Rights Act.

Sarah Palin Gets an 'A' on the Curve, but Full Credit Remains for Someone

This is worth our time. It is Sarah Palin's address, then her joining with Dennis Prager and Hugh Hewitt for questions and answers, last Saturday 5/22, at the University of Denver:


The event covered the bases of what constitutes inspiring conservatism, to the conventional 2010 mind and Governor Palin was luminous of mind and heart. Some even call her edgy and by conventionality's standards, she is. But two critical aspects of the doings of 2010 were missing on this evening, again. They are what is never communicated in polite Republican speeches, whether in reference to the current regime in the District of Columbia, or the broader usurpations presently schemed on lower Manhattan Island.

One observation left unexpressed is of the devastating, intentional sabotage of America, by causing its catastrophic economic and moral failure. This gambit of evil doers is intended to result in the transformation of a panicked America into a people thoroughly dependent upon the Marxist/fascist state, while the manipulated, community organized and unioned-up "proletariat" lead the way, in revolt. Call it Alinskyite, or Cloward-Piven, or Greecification. Call it revolution or insurrection; it is the Marxist method and the reason for the career path of Barack Obama, Saboteur in Chief.

Necessary for that revolution is the other element never fully articulated in the Republican speeches brought at least, to these ears: the elimination of the American sovereignties. That means the treasonous destruction of the personal sovereignty of the American Citizen and of our mutual principality of the People, claimed by our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. It is the effort of overruling parental sovereignty in our families and the denial of the Tenth Amendment sovereignty of each state in the union. And as for national sovereignty, the plan is for America to cease to exist as a true nation, but only a "country," as Obama so often terms us, controlled by the governance of the global Marxist/fascist state.

Perhaps the first of these alarms would be taboo because it seems too outlandish to be believed, or so think good Republican political consultants, despite the evidence of Glenn Beck's and numerous authors' success. As for the second warning, that would also motivate voters, but it would offend the GOP's influential parties of the third part, such as members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the stockholders and executives of multinational corporations, which still donate in great sums. To so many of their conventional minds and investment accounts, globalism "is good," globalism "works."

Sarah Palin referred to Margaret Thatcher in her Q&A session, by her reminding the world that heeding the teachings of the Old and New Testaments is what made America great. Another famous line from the Prime Minister was that, "...socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money." In the minds of the power hungry, whether "left" or "right," the plans of authoritarianism do turn out well, for them, because they simply gain more power, taken from others -- that is, such plans work well in the "acquisition phase," until authoritarianism actually sets in and the shoulders of the people they stand upon collapse, under their oppression.

God providing, these plans for the end of authentic America shall not work and we will relearn authentic Americanism, founded upon the gift of liberty and born of responsibility to our Creator. But, to play our part in victory and to defeat such a massive assault, we must regard the enemy, its weaponry, and its tactics of warfare as what they are. When will any politicians on the national stage show and tell that?

The Obama Files, from Trevor Loudon's New Zeal Blog

UPDATE 5/23/2010 - The Awakening welcomes Trevor back, this Monday 5/24, 9-11pm ET.
Click here for this net-radio program's page, to remind yourself via email and to listen, live.
5/20 - Before I.O. was placed on the shelf for a few weeks, we had begun to carry the critically incisive articles of Trevor Loudon, which he posts in the blog, New Zeal. Interviewing this great downunder patriot was a distinct privilege, that via The Awakening, on a September 28th Monday of last year: (listen here now, visitors).

Trevor told us how he tripped across Van Jones and a vast network of Marxist red in the green movement. He explained how the global Marxofascist insurrection does what they do -- especially as they focus upon their prized prey, America -- including working "hand in glove" with radical Islamists. While Obama's Marxist development and his current comrades are the chief subject matter of the interview, Trevor also gives us some very well seasoned advise, still very pertinent, if you'll let him.

One way or another, we look forward to keeping up with Trevor and his work on a regular basis. And of course, New Zeal is listed in the "Obama Insurrection Research" section of the I.O. Sidebar.

You will find many names below, of unfortunate people and their conspiratorial and organizational doings -- including those Mr. Loudon has just recently introduced to the world's defenders of freedom. Just look.

Princeton's Dr. William Happer Debunks Man-Made Global Warming Alarmism to Congress

Call it, "Crime, Inc." or as I.O. does, "The Greatest Scandal in Modern History," the Trotsky/Goebbels deceit of Man-Made Global Marxofascism just took another hit, last Thursday, 5/20.

A true-to-the-data expert testified to Congress as to the minimal effect of any man-caused carbon dioxide emissions, about there being no change in the slow, millennia-old rise of sea levels, and about there being no "hockey stick curve" in any true data involved in all of the above.
Link to: article in Climate Depot, "Prominent Princeton Scientist Dr. Happer Testifies to Congress: 'Warming and Increased CO2 will be Good for Mankind'"

Link to: Dr. Happer's testimony before the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, U.S. House of Representatives, May 2oth, 2010.
One of numerous Happer quotes that Barack Obama doesn't want you spending time with, on the Internet:
I keep hearing about the “pollutant CO2,” or about “poisoning the atmosphere” with CO2, or about minimizing our “carbon footprint.” This brings to mind a comment by George Orwell: “But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” CO2 is not a pollutant and it is not a poison and we should not corrupt the English language by depriving “pollutant” and “poison” of their original meaning. Our exhaled breath contains about 4% CO2. That is 40,000 parts per million, or about 100 times the current atmospheric concentration. CO2 is absolutely essential for life on earth. Commercial greenhouse operators often use CO2 as a fertilizer to improve the health and growth rate of their plants. Plants, and our own primate ancestors evolved when the levels of atmospheric CO2 were at least 1000 ppm, a level that we will probably not reach by burning fossil fuels, and far above our current level of about 380 ppm. We try to keep CO2 levels in our US Navy submarines no higher than 8,000 parts per million, about 20 time current atmospheric levels. Few adverse effects are observed at even higher levels.
In the very near future, I.O. hopes to catch up with the Viscount Christopher Monckton of Benchley, to gain from his perspective on the current assaults on America and God-ordained nationhood across the world, in the subterfuge diplomacy and actual war being waged, since last Fall's Copenhagen Conference.

Ray Stevens, 'Come to the USA' & We have the Flip Side, 'Come to the Greenwood Avenue House Party'

Come to the USA, illegal seniors and senoritas!

"Come to the USA"
h/t: Jim S., Alan E., Frances Fox P., Cesar C., et. al.

alas, not "everything is beautiful"

And you are cordially invited to come directly to your Welcome Center!

5046 S. Greenwood Ave., Chicago, IL 60615-2806
complements of Barry, Michelle, Tony Rezko, and the Giannoulias banking family

As Nina Easton (link) and Glenn Beck have reported, visiting homes is the new "in thing to do," Obama-style, so what better way to get accustomed to your new country away from country!

Glenn Beck's "The One Thing," yesterday featured Obama's ACORN's commissar sister union, SEIU, and their new house party idea. Keep watching past his initial remarks, about four minutes in:


Glenn Beck's "The One Thing," 5/20/2010

I have a similar story. When I was seven years old, the young and the hallucinogenic SDS revolutionaries were marching and rioting outside our door, 725 Geneva St., Lake Geneva, WI 53147, on July 4, 1966, also the same date, a year later. Our humble, old parsonage and the church next door were located right at the downtown section of that little resort town for wealthy Chicagoans -- Geneva and Broad, one block north of Main. Store windows were broken, cars messed with, and a park statue or two were torn down or damaged. The bikin' "Hells Angels" were also involved -- a communist/anarchist mix of the kind commonly orchestrated by Marxist instigators. The mix is seen in the black and red colors of anarcho-communism (and the Obama family's garb, at their eerie election victory part, in Chicago's Grant Park).

I remember a dream I had, back then; the rioters getting more and more violent, my older brothers decided they needed to defend the house. They shot down from the windows of the front room, second floor, the room where I slept at night. If I recall correctly, I was disappointed because they used up all the windows or all the rifles and I didn't get in on it, just seven years old.

Maybe that "guy in Obama's neighborhood," Commonwealth Edison CEO, Thomas Ayers' little Billie was there at the time, free from college for the summer, with his swaying and staggering SDS comrades. He wouldn't have wanted to miss being in the thick of setting it up. Maybe after we all welcome the La Raza illegals at the Obamas', we should walk over to the Ayers/Dorhn household and do some open air preaching. I am reminded of Ayers' recent blurt-out, "I considered myself partly an anarchist then and I consider myself partly an anarchist now. I mean, I'm as much an anarchist as I am a Marxist which is to say I find a lot of the ideas in anarchism appealing. I'm very open about what I think, and nobody here is surprised about what I think."

I'm sure that you were open with Barry and that he was not surprised, Bill. And right, Glenn, the banker's children will always remember it. - AW

The Coup Continues - Dennis C. Blair

U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra (MI-R) on the resignation of Dennis Blair as Director of National Intelligence: "Blair’s resignation is the result of the Obama administration’s rampant politicization of national security and outright disregard for congressional intelligence oversight. Blair’s resignation is disturbing and unfortunate." - (a bit more at Newsmax).

In order for Marxofascist globalists to control a nation, clearly they must control its intelligence resources. Look for more unrest and intramural struggles in the CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. What we need from them are whistle blowers. How about it, Mr. Blair? And what exactly was the catalyst for your resignation?

Don't expect important revelations from Admiral Blair, however. See this from his profile by the Council on Foreign Relations, brighter red highlights by I.O.
A former Rhodes Scholar, Blair speaks Russian and is an expert on U.S. policy toward Asia. He co-chaired the Council on Foreign Relations independent task force that published a 2007 report recommending that the U.S. government work to integrate China into the global community.
The subject of the CFR came up in the "Awakening" interview with Trevor Loudon (featured in I.O's recent posting). Also, Loudon's observation that terrorist Islamists work "hand in glove" with international Marxists is especially germane to the resignation of the one in charge of overseeing terrorist intel.

Looking for Writers & Researchers

Investigating Obama has its sidebar and me, but we could do better with researching, objectifying, analyzing, reporting, commenting, and (taking a breath) just posting the most important underreported news and background, amid all the facts, theories, and rumors. There is a lot to cover and a lot more light that could be shed, between the inside-the-box news sites out there and the throw-it-against-the-wall conspiracy mongers.

Do you think you might like to help? All ears. Please send a note to arlenwilliams@yahoo.com.

also...  Please ask and promote The Three SOVEREIGNTY NOW Questions.

Tips! Comments! Open Thread

Update 5/20/2010 - I.O. has been switched back to allowing anonymous comments, experimentally.  That should make it easier for any whose log-ins were not being accepted, sorry for that inconvenience.

5/15/2010 - As has been done twice before, I.O. presents an open thread for your comments, links, etc. Keep it positive, no ad hominem attacks. And if you are presenting conspiracy information -- or any other charges, then cite evidence... links... documents... photos... corroborated testimony... more documents... even more documents.... Otherwise, please understand, you are only posting imaginings, ideas, conjecture, gossip, hearsay, hypotheses, and/or, maybe even, theories.

Communists, Illuminists, New Agers, Fascists, Druids, Kenyan Shamans, or Pedestrians -- if you make claims, then document (at least link to some source that includes valid, referential information, eh?). Conspiracies exist, but wild, conflicted claims do, too.

If you have tips that you prefer to email, please do, to awakeningforce"at"yahoo"dot"com. Thank you. - AW

Obama's Assault on the Church, via the EPA

In the kind of move forseen last year by Brannon Howse, the Obama administration is attempting to gain a foothold of ministerial (pardon the pun) influence over American churches, this by means of the pagan god, Gaia and the religion of environmentalism. It is to be accomplished through the EPA, a tender thought from souls of the likes of Marxist tacticians, Joel Rogers, Van Jones, and that old fellow sojourner, Jim Wallis.

Do we need to care for the earth? Yes, that is among Adam's charges. Do we need the Church to be directed by government, to fulfill the deceitful schemes of thieving profiteers seeking global, Marxofascist governance? I know you can answer that question, too.


Alas, the above were only a few minutes of Glenn Beck's program, Tuesday 5/18/2010. His guests, Liberty University President, Jerry Falwell, Jr., J.D. and Peter Lillback, Ph.D., President of Westminster Seminary and author of George Washington's Secret Fire, were excellent. Lilliback suggests to Christians which, unlike the aforementioned Wallis, generally accept the actual words of the Bible, in the order God had them put, that they look into the Manhattan Declaration regarding Christians' role in our society (something I signed a few weeks or months ago, or so, thank the drafters). I am writing this just after the 1am Central Time rerun of Beck and manhattandeclaration.org is not coming up for me. I think it is very busy. Excellent.

Another suggestion, to fight man-made global Marxofascism, please ask and promote The Three SOVEREIGNTY NOW Questions meekly offered you. I mean please ask these questions of your politicians and candidates and promote them to electoral action groups and to your compatriots, so they may do the same. Thank you. Kentucky's Rand Paul talks about the importance of upholding the critical American sovereignties and how they are being attacked by global, anti-American interests, and look how he just won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator. Americans can welcome real solutions, when they are presented.

Now, Christians in all congregations must be informed of this new strategic attack and church leaders must be called out, on it. They must be asked, "Do you support our freedom of religion and the constitutional, equal justice which is the authorized political principle of this land, or do you favor knuckling under to the counterfeit 'social justice' of statist, neo-Marxist rebellion?"

Or, use your own words, but please do not mince words. If that is done and in response to this threat, sensible, God-responsible care is "freely given," by individual Christians acting in concert, for the actual and most acute needs in our society and world, then the Obamunists will be doing us a favor. - AW

Beck Thinks he has O'Reilly 'on the Ropes'

That is what he just said at the end of his Fox News progam, today. Let us hope for a clean knock-some-sense-into-his-head-out. Then, let us see if they wish to honestly look into Article II, Section 1, pgh. 5 and what the "natural born Citizen" requirement means, compared to what America did, in 2008. I.O. suggests no one hold his breath -- there is too much work to do, for that.

And I suggest viewing Beck's show today, about the Obamunists' militant advance upon (against) Jesus Christ's own church, here in America. It will probably be linked or embedded here, soon.
