NEW ROLE FOR AMERICA



(Click title above)

.


N.W.O. DISEASE BEING SPREAD AND FED TO SAME VAGUELY CONSCIOUS BEAST:


FROM TINY BUBBLES (Don Ho, anyone?) DO GREAT POWERS GROW: Which bubble will be the next to be manipulated by big money? Well, it's about the power, stupid! For bang for the buck, the cheapest and best investment right now is not in stocks, bonds, business, or education, but in politicians. Get 'em while they're still hot and cheap!

The big money that is snapping up politicians (and media and academia) is not going to deliver us to redistributive utopia, but to power-played puppeteering. Competitive, arms-length markets are dead. The new age is about raw, monopolized power: choosing among oligarchs in pledging one's fealty (more like submitting to one's strings).

.

Whether intended or not, human freedom and dignity are perilously close to becoming flushed away under thumbs of an international cohort of money masters. Puppeteering of a dumbed-down electorate is real. See, for examples: Daily Kos, Acorn, Democracy Alliance, Media Matters, MoveOn.org, Factcheck.com.

.

NOW OR NEVER --- PROGRESSIVE TAX ON CONSUMPTION: If humanity is to preserve plains of individual freedom and dignity and representative democracy against Money Masters, it becomes vital to enact and enforce a progressive consumption tax. Consumptive abuses of wealth in order to subvert or dictate politics worldwide must be taxed --- progressively and prohibitively.

.

As things stand, does it really much matter whether Murdoch and Fox News support McCain versus whether Soros supports Obama? Either way, will not America’s borders continue to be undermined? Either way, will not international and interlocking corporations become ever more impervious to national control? Either way, will not cabals of billionaires, through hidden agents, continue to rule politicians, media, and academia? Either way, will not masters of volatility continue to tip worldwide and international upsets, in order to maximize opportunities for exploiting capital?


If, in effect, there is a significant difference in electing McCain as opposed to Obama, it may be this: It may be that Obama would be quicker to irreversibly consolidate or surrender to the rule of money masters, to foreclose any chance, ever: to enact and enforce a progressive consumption tax; to dislodge The Fed; to defend national identity; to defend fundamental family and civilizing values; or to corral Islamic fundamentalism. That is, McCain may represent a less virulent form of N.W.O. disease. The Beast is not an "invisible hand"; rather, its left hand is covered by a Democrat sock puppet and its right hand by a Republican sock puppet.


.


NEW ROLE FOR AMERICA, AS AMERICA:


DERIVATION OF PURPOSEFULNESS: Each human being derives much of his or her sense of worth and purpose in associative respect of home, country, and culture.


HEGEMONY: No one nation of people wishes, suddenly and arbitrarily, to become ruled by another.


MULTI-CULTURALISM: No healthy nation of people wishes for its culture to be suddenly ignored and undermined by inassimilable invaders from a multitude of alien nations, cultures, and religions.


PROBLEM: For every non-dysfunctional nation, a perennial problem is this: How to protect borders, language, and culture from inassimilable invaders, while not invading and stirring up trouble in other nations.


FACTORS: Exacerbating such problem are the following factors:



1) Some cross-border trade and invasion is unavoidable; and, given ever-accelerating modes of communication, transportation, and virtual projection, ever-increasing degrees of cross-invasion also become unavoidable.



2) The stability, functionality, and trustworthiness of many nations, cultures, and religions often remain questionable, sometimes leading unstable nations to incite and project internal and external abuse and terror.



3) To require consensus among nations before forcibly preempting cells of terror can easily lead to failure to commence treatment until after risk of international infection becomes terminal, worldwide.



4) Human greed and self interest often work against consensus building, leading to tactics for holding sanity hostage (not altogether unlike congressional strategies for forcing selfish earmarks).



5) Undermining leadership of America in order to assert control through an international cohort of wealthy money masters has not, historically, been shown to lead reliably to the fellow-empathy for, or better fulfillment of, humanity in general.


6) Relying on the present, dumbed-down electorate of America to “trickle-up-elect” good leadership for the world is, at best, chancy.

PROBLEMS:

How can government promote expertise that is beneficial to society as a whole over expertise that is bent towards serving abusive dictatorships or media controlled cults of personality?

No single member of the electorate can be competent regarding details of all that needs to be voted on or done.

How can regulators find experts with experience who have not been corrupted by their experience?

How can experts who are not corrupt be financed and empowered to make their expertise available?

How can expertise that is incompetent or malicious be rehabilitated?

What is so bad about simply deferring to the natural result (or invisible hand) of competition among “experts”?
.

SUGGESTIONS FOR TAMING BEAST:


1) Seek to restore America to a rational, spiritual-based philosophy, amenable of actually prescribing some moral “shoulds,” in respect of which each of us may seek our purposes, in relative freedom and dignity.


2) Refine the American electorate.


3) REFINE CHECKS AND BALANCES, to check against:



a) The widening of consumption-based wealth, so that representative democracy is not fatally undermined. (In this regard, corporations should be prohibited from making political contributions. And contributions by individuals to specific political candidates or parties should not be tax deductible. Rather, such contributions should be considered as a form of “consumption,” and should make the contributor subject to a PROGRESSIVE CONSUMPTION TAX.)


b) Greed based puppeteering of the electorate.


c) Arbitrary projection of American power.


d) National identity and borders being overwhelmed by inassimilable multiculturalism.
.


MAIN INQUIRY:

Were we to submit to trends for becoming ruled as automatons, without respect for the freedom and dignity of each person’s expression of Will, would we then have squandered our inheritance?


BODY ANALOGY:


Earth, in holding various nations, may be likened to a human body, holding various organs.
Of earth as a body, one may analogize “God” as Source of Will or Mind, and various nations as analogous to organs for (a) nervous system, (b) heart and circulatory system, (c) breathing system, (d) food consumption and storeage system, (e) food filtering system, and (f) energy conversion and waste disposal system.


For example, one may consider a nervous system in respect of North America, blood circulation system in respect of Europe, air circulation system in respect of Russia, food consumption system in respect of Asia, food filtering system in respect of South America, and energy conversion system in respect of Africa.


Of such a body, one would not ask that its nervous system should “multi-acculturate” to perform functions of the stomach, nor that its blood circulation system should perform functions of the digestive system, nor that its lung system should perform functions of the food filtering system. One would not expect a body to perform better by having it step into a blender, in order to multi-acculturate its assimilation.



Should ANYONE NOT WISHING TO REDUCE AND UNDERMINE AMERICA, AS AMERICA, expect that Americans should suddenly put their borders, language and culture into a multi-acculturating blender?

OF DERELICTS:

How many among mesmerized mumblers about “hope and change” have ever fought or sacrificed blood in order to establish America?

By what pretense have such hopers and changers earned any special right to trump the blood of forbears, to reduce or give away our traditions?

What gives Soros and Obama any special right to use ACORN to steal away that for which America has stood?

Such puppies are laying for a confrontation, but know not the righteous wrath they are awakening.

COMMENTS:
MSM is not investigating Obama because it deems no investigation necessary. MSM already knows who Obama is. He is what they are — a sold out puppet, who will say anything for gain. He is the rot they have been waiting for.

After all, the same people running Obama are the same people who own and run MSM.

Working Americans, on whose backs American products and defense are carried, focused on earning livelihoods, have allowed rot, little by little, to come to bedevil every public institution.

Soon, there will be no choice but to confront the rot. Until then, during the next four years, we will be eating rot pie — and incurring an enormous price for it.

It is a rot pie carried high by Boomers, financed by Soros, et al, and dished by Obama and fellow travelers.

For all who have been clamoring, screaming, crying to touch a hot stove, it appears now we must let them.

Having ignored the pace of rot in our physical infrastructure, why be surprised at the pace of rot in our spiritual infrastructure?

It is immoral to take from those who produce in order to "spread their wealth" and income around to work-a-phobics.

It is also immoral to fail to check against institutions calculated to advantage such disproportionate accumulations of wealth and power as to sink democracy under the rule of oligarchic aristocrats.

The way to check against both of the above modes of immorality is not with taxes on income or with giveaways to non-workers. Rather, it is consumption that should be taxed, progressively. Such tax revenues should be used to build, rebuild, and maintain the infrastructure that is used by all citizens.

Such use would create jobs. Such tax would not harm the poor. Such tax would help check against oligarchies.

Wasteland:


At one time, did America care about constitutional governance and civilizing family values?

How is it she has come to wish to change, to disrobe her constitutional garments and to toss out her family values?

As her starry eyed electorate gapes in addled hope, groping in wild addiction to open "door number 1," what lies behind — if not a wasteland?

DEFENDING CONSTITUTION AND RULE OF LAW:

Obama Has To Kill The Constitution In Order To Save It:

See http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/10/obama_2001_scrap_the_constitut.html:

So, how does Obama, with a straight, plan to take the oath of office?

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

ALLIES AGAINST TERRORISM:

See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rashid_Khalidi&oldid=248004225:

Obama relationship

Khalidi's relationship to Obama has come under increasing interest due to the U.S. Presidential race of 2008. Obama made one of the presentations in praise of Khalidi at a 2003 farewell dinner on the occasion of Khalidi leaving the Chicago Area. The dinner was a celebration of the Chicago area Palestinian community. Obama's remarks alluded to the numerous dinners that he had at the home of the Khalidis. Obama and Bill Ayers dispersed monies to Islamic groups controlled by the Khalidis acting as board members of the Woods Fund of Chicago and Annenberg Foundation.

In May of 2008, Barack Obama spoke to a mostly Jewish audience at an event in Boca Raton, Florida and the question of his relationship with Khalidi was brought up. In response, Obama stated that “[Khalidi] is Palestinian. And I do know him and I have had conversations. He is not one of my advisors; he’s not one of my foreign policy people. His kids went to the Lab school where my kids go as well. He is a respected scholar, although he vehemently disagrees with a lot of Israel’s policy... To pluck out one person who I know and who I’ve had a conversation with who has very different views than 900 of my friends and then to suggest that somehow that shows that maybe I’m not sufficiently pro-Israel, I think, is a very problematic stand to take…So we gotta be careful about guilt by association.” However, the New York Times, a day after endorsing Obama's candidacy, referred to Khalidi as Obama's "friend" in an extensive article about the Presidential candidate.

*****

Eventually, I look for Obama to say:

I know Michele. She is a respected scholar, although she often disagrees with me. To pluck out one person who I know and who I’ve had a conversation with when I was 8 and who has very different views than 900 of my friends and then to suggest that somehow that shows that maybe I’m not sufficiently pro-American, I think, is a very problematic stand to take…So we gotta be careful about guilt by association.

A Vote Against Gay Marriage is a Vote FOR Tolerance

....

Since most homosexuals don’t want to get married or stay married, then why are homosexual activists so adamant about government recognition of same-sex marriage? Because same-sex marriage will win them what they really want—validation and normalization. In other words, the activists want same-sex marriage because they understand that government-backed same-sex marriage will validate and normalize homosexuality throughout society.

....

Once they get that legal and social approval, no one disagreeing with them will be safe. Schools, businesses, churches, and charities will be bludgeoned with threats and lawsuits until they abandon their convictions and agree to promote what is pleasantly called “diversity.” Ironically, the only view allowed by the coming diversity police is the narrow view that you must celebrate homosexuality. No other view will be tolerated.


CONSUMPTION TAX:

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumption_tax.

COMMENT: Add up all individual, non-business related purchases; allow no deductions for charities or political contributions or overseas or internet purchases. Then tax each individual’s consumption progressively.

AMERICA’S DECLINATION:

At one time, did America care about constitutional governance and civilizing family values?

How is it she has come to wish to change, to disrobe her constitutional garments and to toss out her family values?

As her starry eyed electorate gapes in addled hope, groping in wild addiction to open “door number 1,” what lies behind — if not a wasteland?

– Why does business seem never to apprehend how representative governance dies for everyone when nothing is done to counteract widening gulfs between haves and have nots?
– Why does youth seem never to apprehend the abusiveness and inefficiency of big government?
– Why has academia so utterly failed to espouse a workable, progressive tax on consumption, to defend democracy by countering widening gulfs in political and economic influence while providing funding to build and maintain civilizing infrastructure?

There would be no need to spread wealth to layabouts were wealth used to incentive work, fund jobs, and build and maintain infrastructure.

Reading the present political tea leaves, one would do better by investing in buying politicians instead of stocks. Get ‘em while they’re still cheap!

Comment from AT:

Joseph Hill ("The job mess had been building for some time now, along with the crash in housing, layoffs, foreclosures etc. To blame a president who is not even as yet seated is simply to try to play a blame game instead of facing the Greenspan debacle that has been building over the past 8 years, and earlier under Clinton.")

******

Question: Regardless of who has been President, on account of what sort of policies has the job mess been building?

Answer: Policies for feeding massive governmental interventon and regulations, calculated to anyone other than a blind squirrel to distort all aspects of our economy.

Question: Who, other than blind squirrels, fails to see how Obama's plans will bring the curtain down on a grand finale?

Answer: Democrats. (Oops --- that was redundant.)

Question: Who is aiding and abetting Democrats towards their grand finale?
Answer: International Birds of Prey.

Question: Who is facing the Greenspan debacle?
Answer: Not blind squirrels.
