Election 2012: How The Winner Will Destroy America
Authored by Brandon Smith of Alt-Market.com,
Of all the hollow and uninspired elections that this country has suffered through over the past several decades, one might think that at some point long ago the American public would have finally struck a plateau of disenfranchisement; that we could sink no further into despondency, that there is a saturation limit to the corruption of our voting process. Unfortunately, there has been no such luck. I have to say that in all honesty I have never seen more people gut jumbled and disgusted with our electoral system than I have in 2012. Sure, there is still a hyper-gullible segment of the populous that continues to play the game, but even those idiots are beginning to admit that the choices offered are dismal at best, catastrophic at worst. The fog of the false Left/Right paradigm is starting to lift, and all that lay in its wake is a hoard of lost wide-eyed flabbergasted followers without a coattail or a talking point to cling to. Sudanese refugees have a better chance of survival than these people do…
Even in the more obvious of fraudulent past elections there was at least an attempt by the establishment to present a pageant of conflicting ideologies (George W. Bush vs. John Kerry comes to mind). There has always been the Democrat who pretends to be anti-war, or the Republican who pretends to be small government, or the Democrat who pretends to defend our right to privacy, and the Republican who pretends to be pro-2nd Amendment. But in 2012, even the theater of rhetoric has disappeared. Both primary party candidates seem to be sharing the same intestinal tract and the same teleprompter, and now, the average American is asking a new set of questions. They do not wonder how these men will change things for the better. Not at all. Instead, they wonder which one will do LESS DAMAGE while in office. This is the terrible reality we have come to understand in our society today. It is a sad awakening, but a necessary one.
As you read this now, the new President of the United States is being “chosen” or has been chosen. Whoever the “winner” happens to be is ultimately irrelevant. They do not count. They are mascots. Middle management cronies running through the motions to distract the masses while enacting the policies of their superiors. They are fry cooks serving greasy overpriced democracy with no real sustenance. What does matter, though, is what comes next. I’m sorry to say that the idea that one man will do less damage than the other is a naïve sentiment. Democrat? Republican? Obama? Romney? The crimes and calamities wrought will be exactly the same. Take a look into my crystal ball and see the future. Here is how the winner will destroy America…
1) He Will Continue The Policy Of Dollar Devaluation
Neither candidate has expressed any interest through the election or even before it to protect the value of our currency, and both candidates have supported steps towards quantitative easing and fiat printing in order to delay an inevitable national debt crisis. Both Romney and Obama have sung the praises of Ben Bernanke (Romney changed his tune just in time for his campaign, but who's buying that?) and the private Federal Reserve despite the consistent failures of that despotic institution to produce any tangible economic results with their Keynesian methods.
The dollar will see a vast devaluation during the term of this candidate and a loss of world reserve status, leading to stagflation (a combination of the worst elements of deflationary and inflationary crises in the same event). Skyrocketing prices and crumbling unemployment will be the highlights of his presidency, because he will never take measures to reign in or dismantle the primary root cause of the problem; the Federal Reserve itself.
2) He Will Continue Extreme Government Debt Spending
Neither candidate has offered a practical or operable solution to the $16 trillion official national debt problem we now face, let alone the tens of trillions of dollars in entitlement obligations that the Treasury Department never talks about. A nation can only live off food stamps and credit for so long before it implodes like a wet paper sack. And this is exactly what we have become; an entire culture of debt addicts and money hounds searching for our next fix of foreign or central bank cash. The fact is, both Obama and Romney would INCREASE spending while using fiat injections to buttress an ever weakening economy in the name of “stability”. The new president will claim that if spending cuts are initiated, it will send the U.S. financial system into a tailspin and a “return” to recession conditions. This will of course be a lie. We have not left recession/depression conditions since 2008.
3) He Will Support And Expand On Wars In The Middle East
There is no such thing as a mainstream “anti-war candidate” in 2012. Not even a fake one. Obama’s measures of state violence and complete lack of respect for the sovereign internal matters of foreign nations surpass the madness of George Bush Jr. He has even gone so far as to assert that his office has the right to assassinate American citizens without trial, evidence, or due process of the law. Not only has he asserted the right to this power, he has used it! Romney’s position, hilariously, is that Obama has not gone far enough! Either way, the winner in 2012 is going to leap like a vile locust into new countries and unleash a plague of laser guided death. The next president WILL be a war hungry president.
4) He Will Lock Down The Web And Limit Internet Speech
Both Romney and Obama have expressed a desire to establish cybersecurity measures which include vast new governmental authority over the functions and operations of the internet. The ultimate goal? To gain legal precedence for the right to dictate web content, up to and including the ability to label any website a subversive threat to national security or a recruitment tool for “extremists”.
With the establishment spreading completely baseless accusation of cyberthreats coming from every corner of the globe (but mostly from Iran) it would seem that they are conditioning the public for a future encounter with a cyber event, and telling them who to blame when it occurs. The problem is, the most prominent cyber security threats to the internet in the past few years have come not from the Middle East, or Russia, or China, but the U.S. and Israel (Stuxnet anyone?). Keep this in mind when our new president blames the next cyber attack on a convenient political target and then uses the event as an excuse to regulate the web.
5) He Will Erase American Civil Liberties
This president will find a reason, or he will create a reason to diminish Constitutional protections including our right to trial and due process. Both candidates have offered unflinching support for the National Defense Authorization Act and its provisions for indefinite detainment. Neither man has ventured any sincere concerns over the broad nature of the language involved in the labeling of “terrorists” and “extremists”. Literally anyone can now be categorized as an enemy combatant and a threat to national security for almost any reason, and this appears to be the way Obama and Romney like it. That is to say, they both want totalitarian powers, or at the very least, they have made no effort to turn them down.
It is important to note that there has never been a government in history that sought out such powers and did not actually use them. Only a fool would assume his favorite elitist candidate in 2012 will not utilize the extreme authorities now amassed for the executive branch over the past decade.
6) He Will Embrace A Globalist Dynamic And Abandon American Sovereignty
Both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are surrounded by “advisers” who are also members of the Council On Foreign Relations, an institution which openly calls for the dissolution of American sovereignty on a regular basis and the creation of a centralized global system dominating the financial, social, and political life of every nation in the world. With the economic stability of the U.S. on the verge of oblivion, it is very likely that a historic crisis will ensue during the first term of the next president, and that he will in response suggest a new global system as the solution.
This system has already been created, in part, by the IMF and World Bank in concert with member governments and revolves around the issuance of a new world reserve currency (Special Drawing Rights) as the centerpiece. I can guarantee with absolute certainty that the next president, regardless of who he happens to be, will promote an IMF rescue package coupling the dollar to the SDR and turning over full economic control of America to an international body. He will make it sound rational, reasonable, and even advantageous, but in the end, he will be selling the globalist snakeoil he was conscripted to sell before his election campaign ever started.
In 2012, it will not be about voting. It will not be about “winning”. It will not even be about getting to the next election. It will be about survival. As big a joke as the 2012 elections have become even to the generally unaware, I am not laughing. I do not need to look at the promises of either candidate. I do not need to weigh their half-assed quick fix policies. All I have to do is look at the current downward trend and understand that the president, whoever he may be, will continue it. If anything is to truly change, it will be because we as Americans finally walk away from the game, enacting our own solutions and our own opposition instead of handing over our power to sniveling errand boys wrapped in flags and expensive suits and self-rightousness every four years. 2012 is going to be the beginning of upheaval and renewal, for better or for worse, and it is certain that the guy in the White House into 2013, Republican or Democrat, is going to be a part of the problem, nothing more…

Pssst. That's Sublime.
"April 29th, 1992. There was a riot on the streets, tell me where were you?"
I love you Mr. Hendrix but FYI that was Sublime not Snoop. :)
EDIT*
Dammit NA you beat me to it!
"Let it burn!
Wanna let burn!
Wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna let it burn!"
Fitting song for today, no?
Pssst, It actually was Snoop on Deep Cover in 92'. Sublime didn't come out with Miami till 96'.
Duly noted.
youngn's :)
True but IIRC it was a reprise from a Dre/Snoop song penned for the movie Deep Cover that debuted the line "187 on an undercover cop" that then was liberally used amongst various rap artists for many years to come.
I embrace my rich caucasian rap heritage. And I'm pretty fuckin' good at Google too.
Irrelevant, "America" as a sovereign nation full of citizens was destroyed in 1913. What garbarge. Now pay your rent serfs!
In the long run, the NWO will turn the USA into a socialist/communist country.
It took them 130+ years to get their central bank........ if it takes another 30-50 to get 75% taxes (like France), they'll just play us with Obama the last 4 years, Romney the next 4 years, and pretty soon you are there.
I would just warn, if Romney wins, we get a reprieve of a SLOWER march FORWARD - make use of the time wisely.
Obama wins, right leg marches slower then the left. Mittens wins the left leg marches slower then the right. Distance covered? Equal.
Yep. And that's why voting for one of these two is treason against America itself.
Still go vote... there's lots of states with votes to nullify federal mandates... and you can vote for third party to scare the elite at least a little.
But the best vote you can do is to go buy gold/silver coins and some more ammo and storable food.
Buy ammo and storable food? Oh fer christsake.
And six (or 3, or 8, or 14) months down the road when you've used all your ammo protecting the food you've just finished, then what are you going to do?
All the doomer prep-work is great for a natural disaster but it ain't gonna do shit for a societal collapse. But have fun anyway.
Did you know that edible plants grow both in wilderness and by planting their seeds in soil... on their own?
You seem to be self-limiting your ideas about what is possible. It has been done successfully for most of the time humanity has existed so far.
You mean...I can grow my own food?
Well that changes everything.
There's this thing called division of labor. If you have some talent or a product of your own you could trade for food. It's been a good system for at least 5,000 years.
Some talents will be in more demand than others.
I wonder how much bacon you can buy with a full day's whining and bitching.
Joe: I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.
Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
Griphook
I hear that.
Learn to use a sling.
"ain't gonna do shit for a societal collapse."
You should read more history. You forget that our military are Citizens too, aren't going to wait around for or obey the "blue helmets" and will need all the help they can get. Ask why the Japanese didn't invade the US during WWII ... WE HAD GUNS!
That, and the Japanese didn't have much of a sealift capacity what with the world's biggest ocean between us and all.
down the road when you've used all your ammo protecting the food you've just finished, then what are you going to do?
Nothing left to do by that point 90% of the population is gone, I will be an awesome farmer then, if not dead. But lived longer than those that
DIDN'T have said items.
Indeed. By the time you've eaten all your food and used all your bullets... most people are long gone.
Let's say you bought 1 year of food... now just look at NYC after not even ONE WEEK (and with cops and food)... just imagine the cops are not coming. Nor are the firefighters. Nor is gas. Nor is food. It'll be Thunderdome with a side of cannibalism within 2 weeks.
Well reasoned. Let's hope it never comes to that.
Because the ones that survive won't be the ones with the guns and grits in storage. The ones that survive will be the hardened sociopaths and criminals who will kill anyone and everyone for any reason including no reason at all, take hostages, burn people out of their homes, run over people in the streets. Everything. Anything. All the time. Until they are all that remain, have all the toys, have all the females, and can start over however they want.
I read recently that if someone intends to fight to survive then plan to identify and kill the criminal sociopath class first and foremost. Because nothing but death is going to stop them once the fetters of civilization are loosed.
.
sounds like those trained, armed and uni-formed on behalf of the banking classes. . . and they're the ones who survive, thrive, breed, and succeed, thus de-volving humanity as they go. . .
/salute!
Wow. I always wondered how one becomes a king.
It's pretty simple, really. You have to wonder that the world isn't completely overrun with crazy fuckers wearing ermine and tights.
I"ve always said, "royalty descends from the best butchers."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Poole
The ones that survive are ALREADY organized and in groups. Other survivors will quickly organize and form loose groups. Sociopaths won't survive, the ones that do will be lynched.
Times have been tough before and humanity has survived and thrived. This time will not be different. Your mileage may vary.
wait a minute...you're describing our political leaders. Guess they deserve the position after all
I think we will go hunting and marvel and how well things recovered once we had fewer moochers to feed.
OK then. Let's have your suggestion. Buy stawks? A new flatscreen TV? Maybe a new $65K Chevy Tahoe with GPS tracking, cabin voice recording, remote ignition lockout, and EDR?
I'll take the PMs, ammo, storable food, and heirloom seeds.
So true!

What election? Its like putting a different color tie on, you're the same person but look different.
Word.
It is sad, but it has come down to one thing only in this country: Take care of you and yours. If others don't have the eyes to see what has happened they will deal with the harshest of consequences.
Red Pill or Blue Pill it's all the same.
Add in: 7) He will preside over the reduction of individual gun owner's rights.
This has been Obamas track record, how the fuck do you know what Romney would do? Your that fuckin smart that you have clear vision?
Because the president receives his orders from people more powerful than himself. Wait and see, then let's talk again, that's the best way for everyone.
Additionally, one only need to look to Romney's record and rhetoric regarding NDAA, Patriot Act, gun grabs, socialized medicine, federal reserve, etc. Jeez. It's like the bloke above didn't even read the article or listen to Romney's own words.
It would be easier to vote for someone to the right of Romney to replace him in four years than it would be to vote someone to the right of Obama to replace him in four years.
A Romney loss would have the Reublicans claiming that Romney was just not liberal enough.
Or isnt it because they are slaves to the same ideology - progressivism - with only a few irrelevant nuances between, sold as major differences to the zombified masses?
http://constitutiontimes.com/ndaa-i-would-have-signed-romney-the-republican-debate-twilight-zone/
Here's Romney's support for the NDAA. You think you can find the rest of Romney's positions on your own? Let me point you in the right direction. http://www.google.com
Because whoever is elected, will be serving at the pleasure of those who have made his election possible through financial sponorship, which will in turn demand a return of investment, and while the two candidates might seem as if they are following different agendas, the fact is that the result will be the same for the providers of capital.
Maybe because he has told us. You mow ron.
We are "that fuckin' smart" b/c we read facts, real records, admonishments from courageous predecessors, and know how to access REAL investigative journalism.
So, Obama drones brown people, and Mitt is on video saying that he has no problem with wiretapping mosques and churches...notice he left out synagogues! LOL
We are "that fuckin' smart" because we know we're FUCKED!
Oooh, somebody who still believes in the process and the Red-Blue divide! Kind of refreshing in a way, like kids who believe in Santa.

So at what time tonight will the first reports come in of fires and riots start coming in?
Only downvoted because I'm not looking forward to it...
my guess is there'll be a 20 minute lag sometime between 10:15 and 10:30 just as dusk finally gives way to darkness on the west coast when Fox announces followed by CNN et al. By 11pm scattered reports will start trickling in and by the time Obama and Mich come on stage to concede all emmeffing hell will start to break loose in Chitown, LA and a host of other cities. And we can begin the era of it's all Mittens fault.
I plan on drinking shots with my pistol in one hand and cock in the other. Should be a good night. Just need to make sure I remember which is in which. That would really change the term money shot.

He said he was drinking shots with his pistol.
So you have a third hand for the shots?
Actually it will depend on who wins the election Zero.
Looks like a few of the comments are [blindly] pro Romney. They will be dissappointed.....
Unfortunately (& sadly) I agree with this article. I do expect Romney to win and THEN many or most of the republicans will slip into "everything is good" mode, INSTEAD OF BEING ON GUARD CONTINUOUSLY for little details like when Nixon took us off the gold standard, or when DHS & TSA got power (too much power)..... or when congress passed the bill to create the FEDERAL RESERVE.....
Because it's more about regaining control than solving problems. Seriously, look back at 2009 and some of the crap that went on the agenda. One can argue Obamacare, but how the hell was amnesty or cap&trade supposed to help anybody suffering from the great bankster crash of 2008? Republicans, Democrats, doesn't matter, they all rush to gorge themselves at the public trough and totally forget the problems they were elected to solve. And it happens over and over and over...
I just can't figure out why anyone would want the job! I guess it's obvious from the choices that the really smart and capable people don't want the job.
Ron Paul would have had a chance if the caucuses were not rigged. Fucked up world we live in.
cock-us.
There you go being sultry again.
Spell-checker got you, Coon. It's spelled S-L-U ... oh I see what you did there.
Are you using a royal pronoun in that imperative?
Yes.
No kidding. Two winners and how many weeks before they announced Iowa's real winner? A momentum killer that just wouldn't fit into the media story line though.
I wrote Ron Paul this AM in Maryland. I actually screwed up but lucked out. I was not aware that in general for a write-in vote to be counted, the candidate must have in some way been registered. I found out around noon that Paul was "registered" in Maryland. (See list below.) I considered my vote to be a protest vote anyway. I kind of thought that Paul really didn't want to mess up Romney's chances by being a rogue candidate. For sure he didn't endorse either of the two main candidates. What a hoot if Paul somehow got 30% of the Maryland votes. It would really send a message.
Note that in general, Paul is registered in only those states in which Romney had zero chance - e.g. California. Paul could mess things up for Romney in PA. There is surely a potential message sending opportunity there. What if all of the Republicans in California voted for Paul? Why not? Their vote would count for nothing otherwise.
______________________________________________________________
Thanks to the efforts of his supporters Ron Paul is a write in candidate in several states in this year’s presidential election. Ron Paul neither supported nor discouraged these efforts (see Where is Ron Paul?). While nothing should stop us from voting our conscience in any state, below is a preliminary list of states where write in votes for Ron Paul will actually be counted. (Thanks to RonPaulForums)

But, in all liklihood, Obama will accelerate problems 1-6 faster than Romney will, so if you want to get this over with sooner rather than later and get on to the renewal part...VOTE OBAMA!
I'd love to see the media suffer their boys Obamas loss....but I'd rather have him stay at the helm to go down with this Titanic.

For America to get broken, it had to have been working ever before. It's a concept of a nation state from the oligarchy for the benefit of the oligarchy. I'd get in on the pity party but we're a few centuries late. Corruption, manipulation and theft have been synonymous with all that America stands for in the world. The lies were better concealed without the internet. But stupid people believed they were living in the greatest nation on Earth then and stupid people still believe that to this day. USA! USA! USA!
Hallelujah, brother!
Show some gratitude. We've been accepting Germany's "undesirables" since 1848.
America's been accepting England's undesirables since about 1620.
But if Romney wins and we can stick oil wells in the ground all over the US, our country will grow it's way out of debt. Holy shit, I can't even type that with a straight face. This is the argument I hear from Repbulicans supporting Romney. They must have the strong sticky icky.
Which is why this election is the LEAST important election of your lifetime. There will be no change. The course has been set. Currency crisis.

Excellent article. All I can add is a recommendation to read "The Fourth Turning" to understand the generational cycles.
Was an article on here last night about the book. I'm not sure if that horse is still breathing...
No matter which PRE-SELECTED & APPROVED "candidate" wins, the historic American people lose and lose BIG.
Peter Brimelow (ex-Forbes editor, CBS Marketwatch):
...the most important single issue facing the U.S. is its post-1965 immigration disaster, both legal and illegal. The bipartisan Permanent Government is literally Electing A New People. Among other problems caused by this utterly selfish and irresponsible policy—immiseration of the working class, cultural dispossession, linguistic balkanization, increased crime, overpopulation, etc. —there is the amazing fact that within 30 years, the U.S. will be majority non-white. The U.S., as it has been known to history, will simply cease to exist within the lives of children now born (including my own).
My own very blue state of Connecticut is part of the Portland-ME-to-Portland-OR Greater New England that the GOP (or a GAP—“Generic American Party”) ought to be carrying easily, but isn’t, basically because it isn’t appealing to the white working class. It appears that Obama will carry Connecticut easily in 2012, as he did in 2008.

12) He will implement a federal drone survailance program while the masses cheer him on to protect us from the terrorists. (who is protecting us from them)

"They are mascots. Middle management cronies running through the motions to distract the masses while enacting the policies of their superiors."
Other than G. Edward Griffin, who else has broached this concept empirically in a serious piece of work? I'd love to read more re: politics as social control.
Please advise.
I would highly recommend watching a few of the interviews with Aaron Russo.
He did the movie "From Freedom to Fascism'

"Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time" Carroll Quigley
http://www.amazon.com/Tragedy-Hope-History-World-Time/dp/094500110X
Carroll Quiqley on the Two Party System ? "The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one perhaps of the Right, and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy... But either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same policies". -- Carroll Quigley, "Tragedy and Hope", 1966, p. 1247-48Much obliged, samsara. I'll check it out.
