Move Over Marx, Here Comes Obama
Ronald Reagan would be turning in his grave, wouldn’t he? In what became known as the most anti-communist speech of all time given by Reagan in 1987 on the 70th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution (1917), the former President of the United States of America said that the Soviet Union was the ‘evil empire’. If we could bring that President back to life in true-Hollywood fashion (in fitting with his previous job! A leopard never changes its spots), he would certainly say that it was not Russia today that was the evil empire of communism, but the United States itself! Funny how, as time goes on, people seem to change their attitudes and forget what they once criticized in the past, isn’t it?
The Question that Obama is begging us all to answer these days is: has the good old US of A gone Commy? Pinko?Lefty? You know what I’m hinting it, don’t you? Don’t go getting all bashful, some might say that there is nothing to be ashamed of. Shame it just didn’t happen fifty-odd years ago, you might have saved us all the heartache of the Cold War, shivering out in the freezing temperatures of two ideologies that were at loggerheads with each other, vying for a place of supremacy.
Now the US has gone the other way. Move over Marx! Marx is so yesterday, anyhow, dontcha know? Obama is the new manna; he’s a happening all in himself, food from heaven and the best thing about it all is that it came at a time when nobody expected it at all.
Obama’s new tax policy will raise $800 billion over a decade. But, it’s the rich and the middle class that are going to be hit the most. The People’s Bank of the Soviet Union shortly after the Revolution was created by the merging of banks that were nationalized by force. Only difference with Obama and the US banking system is where the forcing came from. The banks in the US have been to all intents and purposes nationalized. Obama has bailed out the banks to the tune of $780 billion each year since the recession according to research. They get $360 billion in Federal Reserve subsidies and $120 billion in federal deposit insurance. You can add another $100 billion in government-guaranteed loans and the same sum in monopolistic advantages. Lastly there’s $100 billion in fees in the OTC (over-the-counter) derivative market. That all adds up to trillions. Literally.
Remember they were “too big to fail”. Where’s the free-market economics that were the pride of neoliberalism? Reagan would be turning in his grave! Didn’t we believe in the US at one time that printing money would do nothing more than increase inflation. Whatever happened to those principles of the USA, so dear to their hearts, so exportable to the rest of the world? It was the model that we all had to follow. Now, the US is turning in on itself, coming full circle, turning commy. Who would have thought?
Obamacare was an admirable pledge for his election. Even though he is far from succeeding and there are still million without access to health in the USA. There were 45 million in 2012 that still didn’t have healthcare cover. But, in the process of setting up healthcare Obama has created a hoard of bureaucrats that are employed daily as civil servants to deal with the implementation of new policies. Federal employment has increased under Obama by 11.7% on average since 2009. If the shrinking private sector of liberals can’t employ you (there’s been a fall of 7.5 million jobs), then the state will happily do so. Can we all join the bandwagon? There were 2, 790, 000 federal workers in January 2009 (when Obama took office). Now there are 2, 804, 000. Every month has seen an increase in the number of federal workers since that date. Where’s the neoliberal attitude gone?
What happened to free trade? Where are the open markets, privatization and deregulation? Where’s the reduction in the public sector gone? Where’s the meritocracy in life? Where’s the employee of the month hanging on the wall out of just deserves? That’s so old-hat, isn’t it just! Everyone gets protected, helped, boosted, aided. That’s the wonderful thing about Communism. Old-School style. Now that’s fashionable, isn’t it? Old-school!
The Obama administration has sent the welfare state through the roof, costing nearly $1 trillion a year. That’s an increase of 19%. Is the US becoming an assisted state? Is the state become the people’s nanny? Federal and state spending have grown from $779.9 billion to $927.2 billion. Debt is growing, spending is increasing and the welfare state is expanding. The answer in true Soviet fashion is to print the bills and provide for the people.
This reads like a fictional piece. A Hollywood film featuring Obama and everybody gets to eat the popcorn…well sorry, the rich pay, the poor eat the popcorn. But, it’s not a movie. It’s what’s happening today.
Had the Soviet Union still been in existence, the USA would have been annexed as a wonderful example of the ideology that they invented. Today, that’s not possible. So, Obama is going to have to go it alone.
But, as we look on and watch in awe at what is happening with the QE, the state intervention(s), the money-printing, the bolstering of the banks, the massive shore-up policies to save the failings of their system, we wonder how Stalin must have (somewhere, wherever he is in that Communist paradise) a wry smirk on his face. Can you hear The Internationale? Obama is humming it as we speak! The USSA?

For amuesment I got on the White House's info tickler. If there is an"issue" and the admin wants to comment on it, I get the email. Anybody can get on the list. I am not sure how I feel about it. The internet is a new thing, and it is good for the public to have information about what is going on.
From my prejudiced POV it is obvious to me that the Prez is using it to sell his agenda and engage in Orwellian mind control. You know - Jedi mind tricks. Nothing to see here folks - just move along.
Hillary letting Islamic terrorists back in!?!?! I had forgotten about that. But just yesterday I was recalling how she pardoned the tax cheating, market twisting, major campaign donor, frequent guest in the Lincoln bedroom, Marc Rich. I puked when it happened and got some acid reflux yesterday. You can count on the press not mentioning it 2016, and the Pubs being too stupid and inept to call her on the carpet. That woman has soooooooo much baggage. It ia shame that Obama knocked her out of the '08 race. We could have seen then if she would have paid for it.
It's not like islamists murdered 3,000 Americans on 9/11 or anything.
repeat after me
"ignore building 7"

You're giving the USG entirely too much credit. It's a morally and intellectually bankrupt organization.
People shouldn't confuse 9/11 with the Muslim threat.
9/11 was a false flag.
AND.
The Muslim threat is real.
Think about it.
Again, you're giving the USG entirely too much credit. It is a completely inept organization.
Where did I suggest that the USG was behind it??
Banzai, you cant argue with those hell-bent on hating muslims. They, in my experience, are incapable of a geometrical thought process. an example of how they process facts:
Muslims commit acts of terror
muslims were implicated in the 9-11 attacks
Islam is contrary to Christianity
Islam is contrary to Judaism
therefore 9-11 could only have been perpetrated by muslims.
You can show them facts, footage, testimony, etc. It all is simply not considered and ultimately brushed aside with simplistic statements, "you give the inept government too much credit", or "no secret that big could be kept"
All the while ignoring building 7. (not to mention a deluge of other facts pointing directly at an event perpetrated by rogue elements of the shadow govt.)
The fact is that the muslim threat is created, intentionally amplified and exacerbated by this same rogue criminal element, specifically because it mobilizes public opinion against a common muslim enemy, and provides cover in true hegelian fashion for using the wealth blood and military strength of a once free and egalitarian nation to confiscate resources and modify political / economic structures of those nations that are opposed to sacrificing their autonomy (including our own - see the current buildup with DHS) to a technocratic, self-declared superclass intent on global domination.
Wherever "K" is, he's lovin' it. And it didn't even take any missles to destroy Amerika. The Dictator accomplished it with a major propaganda program and by completely ignoring the Constitution, which not even Rebublicans have the guts to call him out on.
Anyone remember the slogan that "Voting is for old people" that was targeted at MTV audience? Who is the target of this lie pretending to be a blog opinion by PIVOTFARM? This is more like a think tank talking point! Make no mistake, if the rich continue to be exempted from paying taxes, you are going to end up paying for all of it;yes you-- the peons with no wealth or money.
The rich OWN the politicians who write the laws and exemptions into the tax code; that being said, since taxation is theft and plunder I argue for the abolition of it altogether unless it exists in a voluntary state.
If government has to hold a bake sale in order to get new staplers for their paperwork then it will be a good day. If people are dumb enough to let an elitist bunch of inbred cocksuckers called government to take the fruits of labors with impunity then they deserve ever bit of misery coming to them...
With modern technology why do we need government at all? Why not voluntary taxation given as donations to various purposes? Why not a central bureaucracy of a few thousand simply to quantify weights and measures and the true value fo things, like our money?
At the end of the day real Marxism is about hardcore dogma.
But the Obama administration is filled with contemporary, narcissistic, pansy leftists who believe in rainbows and unicorns and don't actually have the stomach for that kind of thing. They can still ruin the country, in fact they probably already have. But we will collapse before we go communist.
If Obama were a real communist I think I'd actually have more respect for him.
He's vicious enough. Really the commies were not very brave or intelligent, just ruthless. If Obama falls short in becoming dictator he has at least laid the groundwork for the truly sociopathic successor, a Saddam Hussein type. What he has done is instituted banana republic status where everything is a con, just like the third world, members of which he has been importing as temp-voters to keep his sorry ass with a patina of legitimacy. How has his turning the IRS into political lackeys done to make one think it legitimate to pay taxes hereafter?
He has recently claimed that he wants to go Bulworth:
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/obama_admits_he_soci...
We need to coax him out of the closet.
If he was a real anything he'd deserve more respect.
+100.
Obama is a two bit Chicago thug. I was really offended when he effectively pronounced George Zimmerman guilty of unjustifiably killing Treyvon Martin. I have NEVER heard a President of the US make comments about a criminal case. It isn't done. It prejudices the potential jurors and thwarts justice. He did it to fan the flames of race hatred. Help him get reelected at George Zimmerman's expense. He did to Zimmerman what so many white white racist pigs did to blacks 80 years ago. He is soooooooooo in tune with the rule of law.
The funny thing is it looks like Zimmerman will go free because the prosecution has been withholding exculpatory evidence. Why are they doing that? Probably because they have government jobs and Obama ordewred it. I see this as another part of Benghazi-DOJ-IRS Gate. And we are in deep do-do if my speculations are correct.
The bottom line is that if Obama thought he could get some mileage out of lynching a white boy in the name of racial justice, he picked the wrong case. He will lose on the merits and mishandling.
Beyond that, the real bottom line is that Obama can't even do Chicago style thugery correctly. Needed to study Al Capone more.
Edit: If Zimmerman did the crime, I would be very sad if he didn't pay. From my POV, I can't see that there are enough facts to come to any reasonable conclusion. Beyond reasonable doubt??? No way. Be that as it may, I am a Monday morning lawyer at best. The very liberal Dershowitz (sp?) at Harvard was apoplectic when they charged him with Murder 2. Said they will never get the conviction. Says the best they could have done would be the less severe manslaughter. Said if Zimmerman should be punished, any chance of that went out the window with the more severe charge. Also said he didn't think that the state had any case at all.
Recommend you follow Jack Cashill over at American Thinker on the Trayvon case. turns out that little Skittle was pretty stone cold thug looking for trouble. That doesn't necessarily mean that he was the aggressor in the altercation with Zimmerman, but as probability goes he is far more likely to have been. Plump little Zimmerman and fighting for the rights of local blacks is the opposite of a race based killer. In contrast, Trayvon was an animal in training.
I agree with Dershowitz...manslaughter, yes. Second degree murder, no way...there isn't any malicious intent.
Futhermore, Zimmerman called the cops beforehand...Trayvon didn't but could have, he was on the phone with his girlfriend, hardly the actions of a man getting ready to commit MURDER.
We're on a road to debt-peonage to be ruled over by a few elitist that will impose draconian fascism to keep the population in check. All this talk about Marxism is just nonsensical.
Think! What economic theory allows a few to control all the wealth in the world and to continue to accumulate more and more at the expense of the rest? Marxist ideology or absolute Capitalism?
Capitalism is a myth invented by the left to craft the illusion of a system of control that is antithetical to free markets and private property, which are the elements of a free political system, along with rule of law rather than outcome. Capitalism is a fake by totalitarian minded statists to make the ignorant believe that it is merely an alternative means of control, one that cuts out the desultory and hopefully malignant lower classes so that they can be mobilized to propel moral cretins to prominence through violence since merit is unavailale to them as an avenue for success. Whether you call it fascism, collectivism, socilaism, or communism is immaterial as all are the same apart from their various decorative embelishments. It is about a forcible servitude imposed upon the masses by the much smaller elites. In its purest form it is indistinguishable from Pharoanism, where the aberrant psychology of the demi-god ruler is the organizing principle. When monarchy was unseated, the ambitious and evil had to come up with an alternative formula for false legitimacy rather than the divine right idea. Hatred of the God of the Bible is a prerequisite, and plenty of racist and ethnic xenophobia are the means of getting the stupid pointed in the right direction.
A pure capitalist head = elite with a socialist body = the ordinary people. Why do you care about others? If you did not it becomes a heck of alot easier to cut the head off. Not allowed to think that way "because you have been educated not too". It is neither true capitalism or socialism.
Mr. Regan? The bohemian butter-boy-clubbie-rux? A well placed actor to run the global babylonian empire of dust into the profiteer zone for the MIC? Really??
What is considerable and very noteworthy is the fact that the world's people are hip to what these babylonians are going to do next. As was foretold, the chemical weapons that were smuggled out of Libya into Turkey for usage in Syria later to blame the Assad administration has now sadly been proven to be true. As this explodes into the news, a primed and ready to report the truth news media, Benghazi-gate will become a household world like Watergate was. Soon, the babylonians will be further exposed. Makes one wonder who is behind this exposure of the soterobama. The only sorry arse thing about it all is, if the soterobama is deposed, then what will come might be a isreal first biden. It appears that the ramping up of the war drums and proxy warmongering and murders are getting louder to cover up this truth of Benghazi-gate wrapped in an enigma of more bizarre weapons smuggling.
Gawd, is there no relief for the poor son's world?

You make some good points, but you don't know the first fucking thing about Reagan.
You do realize that Cyrus leading the Persians smote them Babylonians to hell and gone.
Don't think we need a repeat of that saga.
You might need a new themesong.
Everything that Karl Marx predicted is coming true-welcome to neo-feudalism and corporate dictatorship. The only people that can even think for themselves are people like Michael Hudson, Steve Keen and Chris Hedges who aren't fooled by this anti-Marxist propaganda by a bunch globalist thieves. Marx said for the workers of the world to unite--not corporations to establish hedgonomy over everything.
"Everything that Karl Marx predicted is coming true-welcome to neo-feudalism and corporate dictatorship."
That's been what most people call 'government' for a couple of hundred years now, at least.
Here's something Marx predicted that will NEVER happen - the state 'withering away' because it is no longer needed. BULL FUCKING SHIT!
Steve Keen is bright and thinks outside the box. I give him credit for that.
However he is a bit of a statist boot himself. He is all for a mamouth debt "Jubilee." (See Deuteronomy or Leviticus - can't remember which.) That may be a good idea. It may not be. For sure, someone or something has to order it, and that is a very heavy handed action. He who does it will have to have control and will not want to surrender it. In actuality, the mechanism for that is already in place and reasonably and helathily diversified. The problem is we didn't let it work. Specifically, the FDIC (or other banks regulators) didn't let the TBTF's implode or even help them implode. And the market wasn't allowed to let it happen. (I am still POed about that little s&^t Chris Coxe banning shorting the banks circa Bear-Stearns-Lehman - vaporized a lot of my profits. Poor Dick Fuld was sooooo abused by the shorts like me.) We have personal bankruptcy. That is what happens when you buy too much house or otherwise overextend yourself.
What we had was the President coming in and stopping both of those processes. It really was perverse. The banks got saved at taxpayer expense and so did the overleveraged homeowners. Now there are tears and $1 trillion deficits. Duh. If Obama is shown the door - and we leave the Oval Office to gather dust for a few years - the debt flushing will happen.
So Keen wants a heavy statist intervention. Hail Comarade Keen. Keen doesn't address the good old FOD income. That would be Forgiveness of Debt. The IRS used to treat that as income. As it well should. Give the wastrels a total get ot of jail free card? No way. Let them stay in their homes but make them pay tax on the portion of debt forgiven - and come over and cut my grass.
The other thing that Keen does which chaps my ass is to advocate the abolition of speculation in the markets. I would love to see HFT go bye-bye. He would take strong measures to prevent trading on a time frame shorter than five years. F him.
The thing Keen does which I love is to excoriate all of the Keysenians who say debt doesn't matter. He claims that they don't carry debt in their econometric modela. I can't believe that. But Keen is an illuminati and this is easy to refute. He welcomes challengers, so it must be true. The REALLY great thing is that every third sentence out of Keen's mouth is devoted to calling Paul Krugman ......well.....I can't say it in public. Suffice it to say that Keen is not in the least impressed with Krugman's intellect.
So Keen to me is a riddle wrapped in an enigma.
On Keen's enigma...
http://tradewithdave.com/?p=13631
Thanks for sharing your opinion. What I found so impressive about Keen are his economic models. For example, his analysis of aggregate demand and how the rate of change in debt correlates to increase in demand. His approach to economics from Minsky's point of view that economy is mostly in dis-equilibrium and that debt, money and bankers' behavior matter and can be modeled to create self-sustaining economic system where all make money is fundamentally different from every body else.
Keen also emphasizes that money is not created by fractional reserve system like most believe but by bankers simply issuing credit-money and worrying about reserves later.

Lefties have always been the favoured puppets of banksters ...they (debt) spend money like water, an absolute blessing for the debt industry (banksters)
but the right aren't much better, they spend it on over-priced bullets, the left on over-priced healthcare
let's try a new system, kick both charlatans into the sewers
it's called freedom, remember what that looked like or we all too far gone now?!!
You're correct on the left/right meme failure and a complete dumbass on which herd animal is most favored by the bankster class since...<drumroll please> REAGAN!
I don't see "right" and "left" in those people. I just see a bunch of crony parasites.
At the top, the are the same. At the bottom, you have the people he is referring to.
Marx references are the hammer to prepare weak minds for the corporate sickle to harvest what remains. I believe Reagan/Cheney would agree.
There are basically three main major religions that are well known in the West - Christianity, Islam, and Marxism. Marxism, in fact, arose in Germany as a primitive counter-Christian religion.
All Mammon All the Time.
However, being picky,
"There were 2, 790, 000 federal workers in January 2009 (when Obama took office). Now there are 2, 804, 000. Every month has seen an increase ..."
The difference is 14,000 for the math disabled, or about 0.12 percent. It's the math, stupid. If you're going to persuade with figures, get 'em right. Gross mistakes always undermine credibility. Pivotfarm doesn't get it.
Rate this POS as what it is.
Smelly.
I am glad that someone else picked up on the math. A 14K increase in jobs surely isn't much. However in the context of the Great recession (I am being cheery - it really is a depression) even holding ground might be a very big deal. The problem is I don't know and the author didn't tell me. The author leaves me hanging, so yes it is a poor article.
Certainly, the power of Obama care is intended to, amongst other things, deny health care to older, mostly conservative people.
The power of Obama care is also intended to force you to vote, or pay a tax, per Peter Orszag's neo-marxist fantasies:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-19/voting-should-be-mandatory.html
Democracies are vulnerable to destruction from within, as today's neo-marxists - like Peter Orszag and Cass Sunstein - are clearly demonstrating.
Not to be too picky, but pretty sure

Move over Marx brothers! Time for a reboot with the new Marx brothers, Barako, Chico Holder and Zeppo Clinton.
Big fuckin' deal. Any shit-ass politician can give a speech. They're just words. I'm no fan of Obama, but to me it's more his disdain for the constitution and the rule of law than his economic policies that irk me. I'm tired of this Obama-Marxist bullshit because it's pure fantasy and rhetoric. Obama is truly no different from Raygun, this fuckface just wants you to believe it.
They really are all the same. Lying corrupt criminals.
What we are seeing is the result of the take over of the US and free markets by globalist banksters. It is facism against the people of the world. I believe history is very clear about what happens to globalists that attempt world domination.
Here's what is happening:

World Bank Insider Blows Whistle on Corruption, Federal Reserve
Written by Alex Newman
-
A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview with The New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption. And she is confident of success.Citing an explosive 2011 Swiss study published in the PLOS ONE journal on the “network of global corporate control,” Hudes pointed out that a small group of entities — mostly financial institutions and especially central banks — exert a massive amount of influence over the international economy from behind the scenes. “What is really going on is that the world’s resources are being dominated by this group,” she explained, adding that the “corrupt power grabbers” have managed to dominate the media as well. “They’re being allowed to do it.”
According to the peer-reviewed paper, which presented the first global investigation of ownership architecture in the international economy, transnational corporations form a “giant bow-tie structure.” A large portion of control, meanwhile, “flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions.” The researchers described the core as an “economic ‘super-entity’” that raises important issues for policymakers and researchers. Of course, the implications are enormous for citizens as well.
Hudes, an attorney who spent some two decades working in the World Bank’s legal department, has observed the machinations of the network up close. “I realized we were now dealing with something known as state capture, which is where the institutions of government are co-opted by the group that’s corrupt,” she told The New American in a phone interview. “The pillars of the U.S. government — some of them — are dysfunctional because of state capture; this is a big story, this is a big cover up.”
At the heart of the network, Hudes said, are 147 financial institutions and central banks — especially the Federal Reserve, which was created by Congress but is owned by essentially a cartel of private banks. “This is a story about how the international financial system was secretly gamed, mostly by central banks — they’re the ones we are talking about,” she explained. “The central bankers have been gaming the system. I would say that this is a power grab.”
The Fed in particular is at the very center of the network and the coverup, Hudes continued, citing a policy and oversight body that includes top government and Fed officials. Central bankers have also been manipulating gold prices, she added, echoing widespread concerns that The New American has documented extensively. Indeed, even the inaccurate World Bank financial statements that Hudes has been trying to expose are linked to the U.S. central bank, she said.
“The group that we’re talking about from the Zurich study — that’s the Federal Reserve; it has some other pieces to it, but that’s the Federal Reserve,” Hudes explained. “So the Federal Reserve secretly dominated the world economy using secret, interlocking corporate directorates, and terrorizing anybody who managed to figure out that they were having any kind of role, and putting people in very important positions so that they could get a free pass.”
The shadowy but immensely powerful Bank for International Settlements serves as “the club of these private central bankers,” Hudes continued. “Now, are people going to want interest on their country’s debts to continue to be paid to that group when they find out the secret tricks that that group has been doing? Don’t forget how they’ve enriched themselves extraordinarily and how they’ve taken taxpayer money for the bailout.”
As far as intervening in the gold price, Hudes said it was an effort by the powerful network and its central banks to “hold onto its paper currency” — a suspicion shared by many analysts and even senior government officials. The World Bank whistleblower also said that contrary to official claims, she did not believe there was any gold being held in Fort Knox. Even congressmen and foreign governments have tried to find out if the precious metals were still there, but they met with little success. Hudes, however, believes the scam will eventually come undone.
“This is like crooks trying to figure out where they can go hide. It’s a mafia,” she said. “These culprits that have grabbed all this economic power have succeeded in infiltrating both sides of the issue, so you will find people who are supposedly trying to fight corruption who are just there to spread disinformation and as a placeholder to trip up anybody who manages to get their act together.… Those thugs think that if they can keep the world ignorant, they can bleed it longer.”
Of course, the major corruption at the highest levels of government and business is not a new phenomenon. Georgetown University historian and Professor Carroll Quigley, who served as President Bill Clinton’s mentor, for example, wrote about the scheme in his 1966 book Tragedy And Hope: A History Of The World In Our Time. The heavyweight academic, who was allowed to review documents belonging to the top echelons of the global establishment, even explained how the corrupt system would work — remarkably similar to what Hudes describes.
"The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole,” wrote Prof. Quigley, who agreed with the goals but not the secrecy. “This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations."
But it is not going to happen, Hudes said — at least not if she has something do to with it. While the media are dominated by the “power grabber” network, Hudes has been working with foreign governments, reporters, U.S. officials, state governments, and a broad coalition of fellow whistleblowers to blow the entire scam wide open. There has been quite a bit of interest, too, particularly among foreign governments and state officials in the United States.
Citing the wisdom of America’s Founding Fathers in creating a federal system of government with multiple layers of checks and balances, Hudes said she was confident that the network would eventually be exposed and subjected to the rule of law, stopping the secret corruption. If and when that happens — even if it may be disorderly — Hudes says precious metals will once again play a role in imposing discipline on the monetary system. The rule of law would also be restored, she said, and the public will demand a proper press to stay informed.
“We’re going to have a cleaned-up financial system, that’s where it is going, but in the meantime, people who didn’t know how the system was gamed are going to find out,” she said. “We’re going to have a different kind of international financial system.... It’ll be a new kind of world where people know what’s going on — no more backroom deals; that’s not going to keep happening. We’re going to have a different kind of media if people don’t want to be dominated and controlled, which I don’t think they do.”
While Hudes sounded upbeat, she recognizes that the world is facing serious danger right now — there are even plans in place to impose martial law in the United States, she said. The next steps will be critical for humanity. As such, Hudes argues, it is crucial that the people of the world find out about the lawlessness, corruption, and thievery that are going on at the highest levels — and put a stop to it once and for all. The consequences of inaction would be disastrous.

I wouldn't doubt that some Rhino Republicans were in on the I.R.S. persecution of the Tea Party; look how they completely snubbed Ron Paul and others.
Reagan came along too late; the real turning point was FDR and the New Deal, and before him the establishment of the FED and the personal Income Tax in 1913.
yeah. The GOP was coopted by the Neoconservatives...just a stones throw away from being Democrats.
The "true" Republicans (like the new Tea Party members...are the outcasts and marginalized by the media, etc.
