The first 100 days of Obamaville were pretty much aptly summed up pictorially on Monday.

First, you had the spectacle of the presidential jet hounding the citizens of New York in a mock terrorist dive (which I truly believe to have been intentional, another weapon in the Obamian arsenal of getting us all to kowtow in fear of his dictatorship, er, presidency). Then you had the spectacle of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ fielding questions about the flyover and saying, "You’ll have to ask the White House."

That was a fairly interesting response considering the fact that the press conference was taking place in the White House with that entity’s press secretary.

Obama dutifully ordered an investigation into the incident as, you know, a nice cover-up for a carefully planned operation. Gibbs is still his press dunce.

THE LEVEL OF PUBLIC IGNORANCE  on the topic of the U.S. and world monetary system is astonishing.

This is part of the plan, of course, because the monetary elite control not only the financial system but also the news media, the publishing industry, and the educational system. The blueprint for control was put together over a century ago by Cecil Rhodes and his friends, including British financier Nathan Rothschild, as documented by Professor Carroll Quigley.

During the 20th Century the power shifted to the U.S., with the Rockefellers playing the dominant role as they continue to do today. It is no accident that J.P. Morgan Chase—the Rockefeller family bank—dominates the U.S. derivatives market; nor that Exxon-Mobil, the Rockefellers’ oil company, is the most profitable corporation in history.

The basic plan was to place all of mankind in a state of permanent mental and emotional siege so that in the end we would trade all our liberties to the controllers in return for protection; even freedom of thought would be traded for physical safety. That plan is well advanced. The sheeple have been prepared for the final shearing.

I still don’t. take no cotton to The Times’s editorial stance, which is "tax, tax, tax, spend, spend, spend, enslave, enslave, enslave." However, Times columnist Michael Hiltzik did manage today to expose the unsympathetic and arrogant side of the Wall Street/banking fat cats and trophy wives who have been forced to take pay cuts in exchange for a government bailout that saved their hides. He is especially effective in exposing the shallowness and superior-than-thou attitude that permeates many on the financial scam front, who somehow thought they were smarter than the rest of us and thus deserved their incredible salaries, when in fact they were just in a position to better scam the system and ruin the rest of us because money flowed through their companies.

Mind you, I’m still a staunch proponent of free-market capitalism, but if people’s only goal in life is to take yours and make it their own at any cost, they should at least be humble about it–or go to jail. Take the example Hiltzik cites of an anonymous CEO wife writing in Portfolio magazine and saying that she’s been forced to fly commercial instead of company jet and can’t even think of buying a new spring wardrobe. Gasp!  As Hiltzik observes, "How come she was on the company plane in the first place?"

The writer is also quite perceptive in comparing the attitudes of financiers in the Great Depression and now. Read his comparison.

The author of the PEU (private equity underwriter) Report doesn’t identify himself, but he clearly identifies the three acts in the takeover (takedown) of American workers that’s been unfolding for the past few decades.

In a post entitled "Larry Summers Offers Chamber Rationale for Health Care Reform," PEU man says Act I in the Great American Tragedy (my title) was the destruction of defined-benefit plans and their replacement with defined-contribution plans that are funded directly from the employees’ paychecks (with a nominal "matching" amount sometimes from the head companies that have been largely jettisoned in the latest downturn).

Act II was the shipping of labor and manufacturing overseas to cut wage costs in the United States.

Now, Act III is health care reform, which will shift the burden of paying for health care from businesses to the workers, or taxpayers.

Which is all to Obama’s liking because taxpayer-funded health care means he can dole out huge sinecures for all his cronies to run "Medicare for all" for the rest of their lives, never having to fear a pay cut or lost wages.

Meanwhile, for the rest of us…the end of the American Dream and complete uncertainty in the job market. I take that back: Complete certainty in the job market–you can be certain to be screwed.

Thanks to Obama and Biden, unions feel they’re the deserved ones who should and must be sheltered from economic reality. Get rid of the CEO of General Motors? Done. Make the bondholders eat it while UAW workers enjoy $70-an-hour benefits? Done.

It doesn’t take a genius to realize why GM and Chrysler are now zombie corporations, on life support from Uncle Obama till they start producing those green cars that no American will buy (but Obama did pony up the big federal bucks for a huge order, perhaps the only order either company will get in this decade).

That’s why I gagged when I picked up a copy of the local newspaper, mainly to read the sports section, but stumbled upon a story on page one about a local union representing workers for the county water district bristling over the suggestion that they take pay cuts to help balance the budget.

Call in the Feds! Use stimulus funds, but ain’t no way we can be expected to share in the belt-tightening. We’re union workers!

How was the union reaction worded? Now if you don’t think this is some kind of surreal danse macabre when you read these words, you must be some far-left nut who lives off a middle-class government dole, directly or indirectly:

"It is highly inappropriate and offensive, and borders on poor-faith bargaining, for an MWD [Metropolitan Water District] director to publicly express such anti-labor opinions during the course of negotiations," wrote the union president. "Director Robinson’s coments are deeply insulting and a slap in the face of all employees."

Better to raise water rates and taxes so the union members can keep their defined-benefit, guaranteed-lifetime-health-insurance, six-weeks-off-a-year, overpaid-and-underworked contracts.

I am certain that every right-thinking (as in correct, not conservative) American would agree that the consumer should ante up to keep the union workers in their Escalades as they call in sick to go to the beach each Monday. Anything else would be, as Hussein Obama says, "a false option."

Welcome to the world of George Orwell, folks.

Barack Obama is actually complicit in this coordiniated effort to create a new world economic order out of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland. The bank’s latest foray into bankrupting average citizens in the name of oligarchical wealth is to create an international currency, or Special Drawing Rights (SDRs),  which in turn would drive the U.S. dollar from its perch as the world’s reserve currency. Afterward, countries like China and Russia wouldn’t be forced to invest their dollar reserves in U.S. Treasuries but instead can purchase SDRs. They’ll be happy; we’ll go bankrupt.

Mind you, all of this was coordinated during the recent G-20 Summit in London with Obama’s open accord. (Actually, behind the scenes, but that’s as open as it gets with these things.) My guess is that’s why Obama is wildly printing currency and helicoptering it to all his constituents. He knows that the flood of dollars will soon result in hyperinflation and have to be retired and a new currency issued, so what does he care? Also, acceding to the G-20’s plan to destroy the U.S. economy allows Obama to someday have what Bill Clinton now has–carte blanche to hobnob around the world with heads of state and their crony oligarchs who run their countries for them and thus build up vast wealth and permanent (an oxymoron) prestige. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be plunged into a barter/black market economy like the Weimar Republic after World War I.

Ellen Brown, in her excellent piece on "The Tower of Basel," describes how the BIS destroyed the banking system in Japan, just as it was poised to become world dominent, by raising banking reserve requirements from 6 percent to 8 percent in 1988. Then, in November 2007 just as the U.S. stock market had reached its all-time high, the BIS instituted mark-to-market accounting for the U.S. banking system. Worldwide banking failure followed, and the economy in the U.S. shred to pieces the wealth of individual Americans–except for the politicians and oligarchs. Get the picture here? It’s very frightening and depressing, but unfortunately, all to real. Be sure too read Ms. Brown’s article.

Where is our modern-day Andrew Jackson to ride to the rescue and shut down another banking conspiracy? Hint–that person ain’t Barack Obama.

I found the following comment on Web Pro News in an article entitled "Democrats Letting Net Neutrality Die." The article is worth reading just for the hugely perceptive anti-Obama/Demofiend content and subsequent comments, but this particular anonymous comment was really great in proposing a pitchfork parade on July Fourth (we could make the pitchforks out of wood or other substances to avoid the Obama Nazis’ arresting us):

Let this be the year that all 4th of July parades across America are joined by all of the hard working, honest and concerned citizens, who are fed up with the current state of affairs, by brandishing their pitchforks, real or mock, in their own community’s parade.
 
No need for violence or insanity just a strong show of pitchfork packing concerned citizens.
I challenge you all to see who can raise the largest army of pitchfork packers for this greatest event of the year. The forks do not need to be real but should at least be symbolic for the media.

Come on and give the media something new to write and talk about and show the sleazy bastards who seized our freedom that we are indeed paying damn good attention to them.

Start a pitchfork blog and start organizing now, time is short and we need you all, every last one of you. Stand up and make a difference this 4th of July. Become a US citizen again and be proud.
