In one of the most outrageous and shameless displays of his presidency, Obama held a press conference with the president of the south and in effect, agreed with this man about how the Arizona law is ‘very bad’ and is potentially harmful for the relationship between the two countries. Obama, true to his “It’s America’s fault” posture, agreed with this man, and basically dissed a part of his own country to placate this guy from the south. It is disheartening to see a president of our country go after his own citizens and a state rather than stand up for the constitution and existing federal law that makes in a CRIME to break into the country.
Obama could have (and should have) taken time to publicly remind the president from the south, that their laws are much harsher for illegal aliens, and that there is nowhere near any parity between the two countries. Obama also could have (and should have) called the man out on his behavior in questioning our laws on our land as a guest in our country. Obama could have (and should have) also called into question how it is that a president can have a policy of solving his country’s problems by encouraging it’s citizens to violate the laws of another country, using their resources and jobs, then chastise that country when they attempt to do something about it.
Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder was outed recently by a savvy reporter who pressed him on the actual contents of the Arizona law. After a great deal of hesitation, Attorney General Holder admitted that he had not actually read the law, but ‘read commentaries from others who read the law’, and was going from that. This has been the overall reaction by many in high positions within the Obama administration, and it is abundantly clear that they have little interest in real immigration reform, but want to continue on the path that has been followed for a few decades now. Maybe Obama was distracted when he took the oath of office, but he did make a pledge to uphold the constitution and the protection of the country. He, and his administration, are doing the opposite of this, and he does not deserve to be in office.
This is the least qualified president we have ever had, and it is becoming painfully obvious the more time passes. What we need in this country is someone who is aware of our history, takes pride in it, and pledges to up hold it. We very well may have this in the Republican nominee Rand Paul. If elected, Dr. Paul would have about as much political experience as Obama, and there would be precedent for him to seek the presidency. But unlike Obama, Dr. Paul actually has real life experience doing what he was educated in, and has had a real job.
I am adding a piece by Randall Terry about this exact point. It is well written, and hits the point that the tea party people are being seduced by the dark GOP forces, that wants to ‘water down’ their message, and continue with the status quo and compromise they are well known for. Link:
Rand Paul for President! The People's Hero, the GOP Establishment's Nightmare; What Will Republican Leaders Do?
"If Obama can go from a Senate victory in 2006 to the Presidency in 2008, why can't Rand Paul pull off a similar miracle? The first goal is victory in November; the second is the White House."
Randall Terry
Dr. Rand Paul's primary victory over the GOP machine pick (and Kentucky Secretary of State) Trey Grayson is a stunning victory for grass roots Americans, and a stunning blow to the Republican establishment.
Dr. Paul's triumph is a political nightmare for the GOP. They want the momentum, money, manpower and votes of the "Tea Party" activists and other angry voters. But they tremble over candidates like Dr. Paul who are actually principled when it comes to fiscal liberty, ending socialism in America, defending Christian Marriage, and outlawing all child killing by abortion from conception until birth.
This is a huge quagmire for Republican Leaders. If old-line party hacks like Newt Gingrich and Dick Armey - who are trying to co-opt the Tea Party for run of the mill GOP candidates - speak against Paul, they will face an angry mob, and their influence in the Tea Party movement will be over.
If the national party "distances itself" from Paul, they will further enrage a base that is quickly becoming unruly and uncontrollable by party leaders. It will cause the base to withhold funds and man-hours from the party apparatus.
If the GOP embraces Dr. Paul, his economic policies and true commitment to life and liberty show that the GOP is primarily made of big government socialists, child-killers (who use "pro-life" words to seduce pro-life voters), slaves to corporate interests and foreign regimes, etc.
The GOP would be delighted to have Scott Brown of Massachusetts as their prototype for a political superhero. He is pro-abortion, a man without an ethical compass, who will happily put Party ahead of Principle when told to by party bosses.
They will even tolerate someone like Arizona Senator Jon Kyl, who talked political smack – saying he would filibuster an Obama Supreme Court nominee if the person is too ideological – who then tucked his tail and ran from the actual battle now that ultra left winger Elana Kagan is the nominee. His words seduce; his actions produce…nothing.
Rand Paul, by contrast, is the real article; a man guided by principle, not party; a man loyal to ethics, not party bosses. His pro-life position is flawless, and he will act on it, not run from it.
Simply put, he will not betray his ethical core for the sake of the Republican Party. That makes him a hero to us “common folk;” it makes him a danger to the elite.
Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts was a vote against Washington DC Democrats; Dr. Paul’s victory was a vote against the GOP establishment.
Herein lies the crisis brewing for GOP leaders: If Paul becomes the poster boy of Republican foot soldiers, those who rule the ivory tower will look as foolish as the naked emperor. They will be seen as phonies craving power, using empty rhetoric to reach their goals.
What will the GOP do? Something Machiavellian, no doubt. And it will be ugly.
But their teeth gnashing and secret machinations will not matter. Kentucky is the perfect state for Paul’s victory in November. Obama is very unpopular; life and liberty election activists are energized, and willing to sacrifice their time and money; and the Democrats have neither the message or the man to stop the Paul Juggernaut.
Paul will win in November, with or without the GOP machinery and its blessing.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he inherited the Ronald Reagan populist mantle, and went on to win the White House? Let us remember that Ronald Reagan a man of principle who was strongly disliked by the GOP establishment...yet he became the most popular president of the last 60 years.
Run, Rand, run!

A DECENT START
George Offerman
Yesterday’s mini ‘super Tuesday’ was a decent start to this November’s mid term elections, but not necessarily the slam dunk that was expected by many of the so called ‘conservatives’ and pundits. Incumbent Senator Blanche Lincoln (D. Ark) ended up tied, and is now in a run off with her opponent Lt. Governor Bill Halter scheduled for June 8. The late Rep. Murtha’s seat went to Democrat Mark Critz over Republican Tim Burns very handily. This contest seemed to be overlooked in much of the reporting, and goes to show that the anger and desire for real change may not be running as deeply as many would like to believe.
Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul, won his primary and will be running against either Lt Governor Daniel Mongiardo or Jack Conway, who are currently neck and neck for the democratic nomination. This race is particularly interesting, as it is one of the few contests in which the tea party is truly represented by what one could have considered an underdog. Already, many in the mainstream GOP consider Paul to be too radical, and liability to the party. This is the exact thought process that has scared many involved in the tea party, as well as those who believe that there needs to be a ‘house’ cleaning in Washington.
The fears have been that the Republicans would want to abscond with the anger and passion demonstrated by a large minority of people who have finally become involved in the political scene. This is what is so dangerous, in attempting to put the tea party ideals and passions under the GOP tent. It seems the GOP already wants to run to the ‘compromise’ tent and placate the obviously morally and fiscally bankrupt Democrats. The downfall of the GOP (Grandpa On Prozac) is not learning from past failures, and the multiple numbers of betrayals to a large segment of their base over the past few decades.
There is a need to stick to what appears to be a very simple message and agenda. What the Tea party people and other like minded producers in this country want is: 1) smaller and unobtrusive government, 2) balanced budgets 3) protection and respect for the Constitution, 4) ending legalized child killing, 5) lowered taxes, 6) closed border and sensible immigration and 7) end of the welfare state. There may be other points not covered, but in essence, this is what most of the reasonable folks want to see their elected representatives fight for. To want to compromise this message is a very clear statement that many in the GOP ‘don’t get it’ about the frustration with the government, and that by electing many of them, the status quo will continue, with only lip service being paid to the real issues.
So it seems we are at a crossroads concerning the next political move. Do we compromise and risk going into the GOP tent, with another promise that ‘it will be different this time’, or proceed on with a third party? I, for one, do not trust the GOP and think their habitual selling out of conservative values is in many ways way worse than what the Democrats do. I also don’t buy into the hype that a vote for a third party candidate is a wasted vote, or helping out the Dems. The only way to get the message through to either party is to throw most of them out and nominate and elect those willing to stand up for constitutional government, and be willing to be one term politicians.
I am also disheartened over the fact a good part of the electorate has ‘moved on’ from the hell care debate and debacle. This is not unexpected, and it appears the something for nothing crowd may be doing what they always do: looking out for themselves. November is a long way off, and much can happen before then. In the mean time we continue on the financial slippery slope with out of control spending and out of control money printing, and an out of control congress that is proposing more goodies for the lazy fair. Something needs to change, and it has to happen very soon.

OBAMA'S MEDDLING IN HIS HOME COUNTRY
,
George Offerman
It was reported last week that three congressmen have requested a probe into the possibility that the Obama administration violated federal law that prohibits interfering in a foreign country’s affairs by pushing for the changes in the Kenyan constitution that would legalize child killing in almost all instances. Currently, Abortion is allowed only when the life of the mother is at stake. Evidently, the state department has spent over 2 million in support of this bill, and Secretary of State Clinton has been an outspoken proponent for ‘Reproductive health care’ to be included in the referendum. See Link:
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/congressmen-call-for-probe-of-obama-administration-for-pushing-abortion-in-kenya/
Three congressmen, Reps. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Darrell Issa (R-Calif) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla) have written to the Inspector General (IG) of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID as well as the Government Accountability Office (GAO). In their complaint, both Obama and Secretary of State Clinton have overstepped the boundary set by what is known as the siljander Amendment, which is annually included in the State and Foreign Operations appropriations Act that prohibits lobbying for or against legalized child killing using the funds made available in the act. If this act is violated, there are several differing sanctions, including up to prison and fines.
Now, whether anyone believes that much will become of this will be the question of the day, but most likely it will continue to get scant attention and die in some committee. It is of no surprise that the most ardent proponent of child killing wants to ‘gift’ his home country with what he considers to be one of America’s finest exports, the technology in extermination of ‘useless eaters’. Never mind that it is illegal for anyone of influence to attempt to influence the policies of foreign governments, but maybe the great one believes since it is really his home, he is not interfering. Either way one wants to look at this, it is very unbecoming of the office of the President when one openly violates the law in this manner.
The meddling in foreign affairs is not new for this administration, and it is becoming very clear that the only thing Obama seems to respect about this country is the exportation of what could be considered decadent technology and know how. As far as following anything that represents the law, we have another president who is a lawyer, and has claimed to be a ‘constitutional professor’ at a prestigious law school. It seems to be in his character to break whatever laws or social norms get in the way of his agenda. This, coupled with the fact his nominee for Supreme court Kagan, has a similar appetite for looking at foreign law, which by following will end up ‘meddling’ with the way our country and constitution work.
One can only hope that this issue has some resolution to it, unlike the birth certificate issue along with other bullying and scare tactics that Obama likes to use. Otherwise, our country is no better than any of the other thug lead dictatorships out there, and we will ultimately end up with the same trouble that those countries have.

THERE IS NO CONFUSION
George Offerman
There has been much written about Supreme Court nominee Kagan in the past two weeks, and so far, what can be gleaned from the public information available, this woman is an extremist, bent on changing law according to her vision, and that of the very liberal (socialist) judges she considers her heroes. That there are pro life people who are actually considering supporting this nominee just goes to show how ‘lukewarm’ many, if not most are in this movement. So far, this woman has not shown ANY propensity in upholding anything traditional and dear about this country and its constitution, and there seems to be nothing to debate, other than demanding answers at her hearing.
Since Ms. Kagan has never donned a black robe, one must look at what she has been able to do as the first Dean of Harvard Law School, and Solicitor General. Ms. Kagan has had the distinction of revamping the curriculum at the most prestigious law school in the nation, and replaced the compulsory classes on constitutional law with international/comparative law. Ms. Kagan believes that international law seems to have relevancy in our country, and has alluded to the fact that it is American law that fits within the international scheme, and thus should be taken into account when ‘legislating’ from the bench.
Ms. Kagan has a hero in the former President of the Supreme Court of Israel in Aharon Barak, who is considered to be one of the most ‘activist’ judges known in the world. Mr. Barak received an honorary degree from Harvard during Ms. Kagan’s tenure as dean, and Ms. Kagan seems to have an affinity for Mr. Barak’s style in using law from all over the world, without necessarily taking any local or national interests and traditions into account. There are many jurists who view the extreme activism of Mr. Barak as dangerous and unprecedented. To say that Ms. Kagan would not want to imitate her ‘hero’ is to believe that she truly is going to have some sort of ‘epiphany’ and turn around and be that ‘5th vote’ to overturn Roe.
There are also questions pertaining to Ms. Kagan’s view of the second amendment, which is very imperative in the traditions and rights that are uniquely American. Due to the fact that most of the socialistic European countries and all the communist countries are very anti gun, and we would soon be disarmed and unable to stop the tyranny that may soon follow. Second amendment rights are the cornerstone of a free people, and truly the enemy of the socialist. So, this would be in alignment with the idea that Ms. Kagan is a closet Fabian Socialist.
Just in case there may be doubts about Ms. Kagan’s historical views on legalized child killing, the following statement was released and attributed to the editorial research done by the Princeton “Prince”:
The editorial called Reagan’s economic policies “fanciful,” predicting that they “would ultimately prove disastrous,” and that Reagan would abandon the natural and urban environment in favor of setting “industry free from stifling government rules.” It also criticized Reagan for supporting an amendment making abortion illegal in cases where the mother’s life was not at stake.
http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2010/05/12/26154/
It seems clear by her positions concerning Reagan’s position on abortion that Ms. Kagan is for this ‘human right’. Ms. Kagan may have been thinking of her future when presenting her belief on legalized child killing, and expressing it in more couched terms as in cases where the mother’s life is not at stake, instead of using the term ‘elective procedures”. It seems to be clear that from the little gleaned so far, Ms. Kagan is no friend of the pro lifers and will want to promote the radical view that she and her handler, Obama ascribe to. By doing more research on documents soon to be released, it should not be difficult at all to prove this woman will be an extremely dangerous justice that will lead all in ‘activism’ and promote those matters that are repulsive to the average citizen.
So, all the pro life side needs to do is focus on the little already known (which is a lot of information) to understand clearly that Ms. Kagan is no friend to the babies. It really is time to mobilize against this nominee if our side is serious in attempting to influence this nation’s future concerning legalized child killing. Waiting until the last minute, as with Sotomayor, will result in the same outcome, and legalized child killing will have a long life in this country. Do we want that kind of blood on our hands?

THEN AND NOW
George Offerman
After having several very interesting conversations in the last few days about the state of affairs in this country, and the recent up moves in the precious metals, I have given into a temptation to write a post exclusively on the metals, which I have not really done up to this point. So, if you are not interested in this topic, skip this one and come back on Monday.
There are those who still believe that Gold is a ‘barbarous relic’, and is currently in a bubble, due to the fact it has gone up fivefold from its low in 2000. There are even more that believe silver is just an ‘industrial’ metal, and as well, is near bubble status, having gone up slightly more than fourfold from its 1999 lows. In both instances, the skeptics cannot be more mistaken, and sadly enough for them (to be discovered VERY SOON) they will have major regrets that they did not get on this train before it pulled out of the station. Even at today’s rate, gold is still a bargain, and silver is practically being given away.
The last major run of both metals ended in 1980 when gold hit $850 per ounce and silver $50 per ounce. Without getting into great detail ( and the reader must do research on this) the main upward pressure for gold was Nixon’s closing the gold window August 15, 1971, thus ending what was then known as the Bretton Woods agreement, and the subsequent running of very high inflation and the oil crisis of 1973-4. However, silver had a different story and set of circumstances. Two very wealthy brothers who were in oil had figured out that inflation was going to steal their wealth in a stealth like manner, and decided to accumulate a large amount of physical silver as a ‘hedge’ against inflation. This accumulation took several years, but hit critical mass in mid to late 1979, shooting the price up to nearly $50 per ounce. The Hunt brothers (who really would be considered HEROES if the truth were known) nearly crashed the silver market (and would have destroyed the money powers on the spot) and exposed the fraud that the COMEX actually is. The Hunt brothers ‘crime’ as the SEC and others allege, was demanding to take delivery of the physical silver that they LEGALLY BOUGHT AND OWNED. Had they done that, the manipulation of the precious metals that has been very well documented by GATA and Ted Butler would have ended, and the true price of the metals would have continued higher until they reached their true value.
What killed the silver price at $50 was intervention on the COMEX markets by the government, when they disallowed ‘long’ contracts from being purchased, and threatened to flood the market with silver (which at the time, the U.S. gov’t had a stockpile of 2 billion ounces). Within a day, the price collapsed by $15, and the Hunt brothers were ‘out of business’ and on their way to vilification and trial. After this episode, the COMEX through the CFTC instituted caps on long contracts, but not shorts, thus creating the current situation of manipulation in silver by the well known short holder JP Morgan.
The interesting thing back then was silver was making moves of $3-5 per day, and that was when there was a known world supply of around 10 billion ounces, with the U.S. government holding the world’s greatest hoard of silver. There was truly no shortage back then, but by virtue that silver is money (as God deemed it to be) there was that ‘herd mentality’ of getting some before it was gone, thus driving up the prices in very short order.
Now, fast forward to 2010. The government used up their hoard, and have been net buyers of silver for at least the past 5 years. There are no governments that have been net sellers of silver, and the largest known hoard is in India, at 200 million ounces (and they will not part with theirs) the world supply (estimated) is down 90% from 10 to 1 billion ounces. Silver is a necessity for the modern electronics found in cell phones, computers and virtually all other components that need to be spark free and heat sensitive (the two facets of silver not found in ANY other metal known to man). Silver has anti bacterial properties that are now utilized in everything from clothing, to medicines, and these facets consume around 40% of all annually mined silver. The USGS has estimated that known ground reserves of silver will be exhausted in 14 years. There are more points to make concerning silver’s use and consumption, but the point is that there is little supply of silver left, and the money powers have NO RECOURSE left when prices take off.
The largest feature of all though is the fact there are now thousands of little “Hunts’ out there, who will not let go of their silver at nearly any price, and they are very clear who the villains are, unlike 1980. The U.S. government has no silver left to threaten to flood the market with when the price finally breaks free. The major forces that killed the last silver run have been neutralized, and it is CHECK MATE for the greedy money powers. There is no greater joy in the precious metals camps than the idea that these ‘useless eaters’ have to watch their scheme crumble right in front of them, and they can’t do anything about it. What goes around comes around.
The prices of the metals, especially silver will be absolutely stunning. There will be thousands of folks who will be ‘instant millionaires’ when this starts, and it will be in the truest form of money that God created. The price increase will not be a moon shot; it will be more like a super nova. No one will be griping about having bought, and then seeing it go down by some cents or even a few dollars. There will be people that only have modest amounts that will see daily increases in the 5-6 figure range during the height of the ‘mania’, and their only dilemma will be when or if to get out of the market and buy up the real estate that will be had for back taxes. This truly is a ‘once in history’ chance to get into something that is still available on the cheap, but the door is closing fast and the ride is about to commence.
After having several very interesting conversations in the last few days about the state of affairs in this country, and the recent up moves in the precious metals, I have given into a temptation to write a post exclusively on the metals, which I have not really done up to this point. So, if you are not interested in this topic, skip this one and come back on Monday.
There are those who still believe that Gold is a ‘barbarous relic’, and is currently in a bubble, due to the fact it has gone up fivefold from its low in 2000. There are even more that believe silver is just an ‘industrial’ metal, and as well, is near bubble status, having gone up slightly more than fourfold from its 1999 lows. In both instances, the skeptics cannot be more mistaken, and sadly enough for them (to be discovered VERY SOON) they will have major regrets that they did not get on this train before it pulled out of the station. Even at today’s rate, gold is still a bargain, and silver is practically being given away.
The last major run of both metals ended in 1980 when gold hit $850 per ounce and silver $50 per ounce. Without getting into great detail ( and the reader must do research on this) the main upward pressure for gold was Nixon’s closing the gold window August 15, 1971, thus ending what was then known as the Bretton Woods agreement, and the subsequent running of very high inflation and the oil crisis of 1973-4. However, silver had a different story and set of circumstances. Two very wealthy brothers who were in oil had figured out that inflation was going to steal their wealth in a stealth like manner, and decided to accumulate a large amount of physical silver as a ‘hedge’ against inflation. This accumulation took several years, but hit critical mass in mid to late 1979, shooting the price up to nearly $50 per ounce. The Hunt brothers (who really would be considered HEROES if the truth were known) nearly crashed the silver market (and would have destroyed the money powers on the spot) and exposed the fraud that the COMEX actually is. The Hunt brothers ‘crime’ as the SEC and others allege, was demanding to take delivery of the physical silver that they LEGALLY BOUGHT AND OWNED. Had they done that, the manipulation of the precious metals that has been very well documented by GATA and Ted Butler would have ended, and the true price of the metals would have continued higher until they reached their true value.
What killed the silver price at $50 was intervention on the COMEX markets by the government, when they disallowed ‘long’ contracts from being purchased, and threatened to flood the market with silver (which at the time, the U.S. gov’t had a stockpile of 2 billion ounces). Within a day, the price collapsed by $15, and the Hunt brothers were ‘out of business’ and on their way to vilification and trial. After this episode, the COMEX through the CFTC instituted caps on long contracts, but not shorts, thus creating the current situation of manipulation in silver by the well known short holder JP Morgan.
The interesting thing back then was silver was making moves of $3-5 per day, and that was when there was a known world supply of around 10 billion ounces, with the U.S. government holding the world’s greatest hoard of silver. There was truly no shortage back then, but by virtue that silver is money (as God deemed it to be) there was that ‘herd mentality’ of getting some before it was gone, thus driving up the prices in very short order.
Now, fast forward to 2010. The government used up their hoard, and have been net buyers of silver for at least the past 5 years. There are no governments that have been net sellers of silver, and the largest known hoard is in India, at 200 million ounces (and they will not part with theirs) the world supply (estimated) is down 90% from 10 to 1 billion ounces. Silver is a necessity for the modern electronics found in cell phones, computers and virtually all other components that need to be spark free and heat sensitive (the two facets of silver not found in ANY other metal known to man). Silver has anti bacterial properties that are now utilized in everything from clothing, to medicines, and these facets consume around 40% of all annually mined silver. The USGS has estimated that known ground reserves of silver will be exhausted in 14 years.

DEFICITS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE (GOT SILVER?)
George Offerman
It was announced late last night that April’s deficit was 83 billion, one of the highest monthly deficits on record. What makes this so interesting is the fact April normally runs a surplus due to obvious reasons, and it is the worst April showing ever. This is on the heals of the Demovamps announcing their intentions to push through larger spending items before the November elections, when they BETTER BE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE. It never ceases to amaze me how so many elected officials do not’ get it’ when it comes to being stewards of resources that are not theirs. (and this is the same party that pushes junk like ‘green’ movements, global warming, and other false matters).
The 19 consecutive months of deficits is a national record, and there is no end in sight. The Demovamps, who are proving themselves to be the party of waste and corruption, are also pushing this country past the point of no return financially, and actually seem to relish this. Their absolute zeal in punishing producers is only topped by their zeal to incorporate all of the illegal aliens into consuming citizens, and ensuring their continual reelections and continuity of their green blood sucking policies and paybacks to fellow cronies. If this does not get the blood boiling in the majority of Americans, then very little will, and truly this country is a dead man walking.
The trajectory of the current deficits spells doom for the financial system. It really does appear that the only exit strategy is total collapse, and it is looking like it is not very far off. No one is buying Treasure notes, and the last sale had some entity called “Household” that purchased $100 Billion of these pieces of toilet paper. It is rather hilarious that the money powers are so uncreative that they have to give their shill organization the name of Household to pawn off as some legitimate buyer. First of all, there is no such organization named Household, and where did this organization come up with $100 Billion of ‘spare change’ to purchase Treasuries? Speaking of toilet paper, what is the difference between toilet paper and Federal Reserve notes? Toilet paper does not leave green ink on your @-- after you wipe!
Despite sounding like the prime pessimist, there is NO CHANCE that the country is going to turn around financially. The depression we are in was sealed by passage of the hell care bill, and when the real bill arrives it will finish off whatever chance we did have of reigning in the debt load. None of the incumbents and neither of the two parties will EVER repeal the hell care law, and the absolute socialistic agenda that is in store for us will finish off all productivity and incentive for doing anything in this country. The survivability for the masses will ultimately reside in a black market bartering economy as there is no way people will acquiesce to this government stealing food from their family, in order to pay the interest to these God forsaken banksters who are attempting to take over and dictate how we are to live.
In the mean time, those of you who have not heeded the warnings all around you, it is time to act and take care of the necessities for you and your family. There are many other than me who are stating what appears to be the obvious, and time needs to be spent dealing with the essentials and getting them done while there is still time. For when the collapse starts in earnest, the speed in which things moves will ‘shock and awe’ the vast majority, and even the simplest parts of our current routines may well be impossible to complete the way we have been used to. Time should be spent on the most essential matters, and not wasted on the unimportant and frivolous.
It ought to be clear even to the greatest skeptic, that this government has NO INTENTION of keeping its promises, and does not have the money to fund all of the liabilities it has taken on. There is no intention to reign in the budget, and these PIGS are now eying pension funds and IRA’s as their next source of funding. How much longer they can hold off the inevitable collapse is anyone’s guess, but the rapid rate of the troubles in Europe (soon to move here) ought to wake up the most zombified American to the harsh reality of the current situation. The printing presses are going full speed, and we will soon be awash in green, and hemorrhaging red. Get ready.

WHO IS THIS KAGAN?
George Offerman
This is one time I have to say Obama made a brilliant move with this nominee to the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan. Because she ahs never served on the bench, Kagan has no fears or concerns over ‘questionable’ judgments and will most likely sidestep many of the very straight forward questions that many of the conservative nominees such as judge Bork, had to endure. Of course, there is a lot of speculation pertaining to Ms. Kagan’s personal life, but you can bet your life that the socialists will be screaming bloody murder if any of the so called conservative Senators even dare bring them up.
What is known, as has been reported by world net daily, is that Ms. Kagan appears to be a Fabian Socialist, like her supreme handler Obama. It is uncanny, how these two have so many similarities and how their lives in many ways mirror each other. Definitely, I agree with Mark Levin’s observation, that both of them will be the “most unqualified people in any room the walk into”. In what little information is available, it seems Ms. Kagan is going to be extremely socialistic and about as far left as one can get. (Now, why many of the so called ‘conservative’ groups have not done their homework and a few have actually endorsed this woman is beyond belief).
Ms. Kagan graduated from Princeton in 1981, and had penned a thesis paper titled “To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City 1900-1933, in which she laments the fact that the great movement known as Socialism declined due to infighting, and was not able to attain its greatness due to this fact. (Evidently, Kagan does not understand the ‘control freak’ nature of most socialists) If this is true (And I plan on getting a copy of her thesis if possible) this gives great indications as to how this nominee will vote on critical decisions, and will most likely be an ‘activist’ judge versus one that sees the Constitution as supreme and worthy to being defended. (Now, I wonder if she will get even a tenth of the scrutiny Bob Macdonald received for his supposed ‘sexist’ college thesis during the Virginia governor’s race)
As in true fashion of a Fabian Socialist, Kagan well may be elevated to a position she has neither earned nor is qualified for. What is known about her is the fact she comes from an upper middle class family, and basically had her Ivy League education paid for by another (father). Kagan had been nominated by Clinton for a Federal Judgeship, but the Republican lead Senate failed to confirm her. Kagan, has thus floated around, and ended up in academia, and has had the opportunity to teach future lawyers in the same school that Obama had his very short Lecture (not professor) gig. (And these are the same people who accused Bush of cronyism).
Ms. Kagan needs to be grilled by those who want to uphold what is left of this country. There needs to be plenty of elected officials willing to be ‘politically incorrect’ and there needs to be herds of citizens willing to back up the senators doing the grilling. If we find that this woman is a Fabian Socialist (which seems very likely) she needs to have her nomination rejected in similar fashion that Socialist Kennedy did to Judge Bork. (and what was attempted to Justices Thomas, Alito and Roberts). It is time for those who want to see justice once again in this land, to stand up and fight for it. It is time to say no to these Fabian Socialists and the one world order they are promoting and implementing.
If this is the fight that most pro lifers are stating needs to happen, then we need to be out there in droves. Ms. Kagan could very well be on the bench for the next thirty years, and there seems to be little question as to which side of the war she will be on. There is a need to find out as much as possible about this woman and to be as public about this information as possible, and to encourage everyone you know to be active in stopping this nomination. One of these days, we will run out of options and chances, and only then, will we know the true score of how God really sees us.
