Obama Victory Lap Tour: Day One - Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Yesterday, before the House vote, Obama's pre-GOP capitulation speech was technically Day Zero. In a few moments, the president will take his victory lap tour on the road for the next three months, at which point the next season of the government shutdown/debt ceiling soap opera returns. One notable difference between yesterday and today: then, he wasn't late; now, he is.

What Barry will not say:

My friends and fellow Progressives,

Today is a great day in history.  We are moving forward toward our goal of crushing the United States and placing its sheeple under the jack boot of tyranny. As Marx described three necessary phases toward achieving utopia.

 

  • Phase 1: A revolution must take place in order to overthrow the existing government. Marx emphasized the nee­d for total destruction of the existing system in order to move on to Phase 2.
  • Phase 2: A dictator or elite leader (or leaders) must gain absolute control over the proletariat. During this phase, the new government exerts absolute control over the common citizen's personal choices -- including his or her education, religion, employment and even marriage. Collectivization of property and wealth must also take place.
  • Phase 3: Achievement of utopia. This phase has never been attained because it requires that all non-communists be destroyed in order for the Communist Party to achieve supreme equality. In a Marxist utopia, everyone would happily share property and wealth, free from the restrictions that class-based systems require. The government would control all means of production so that the one-class system would remain constant, with no possibility of any middle class citizens rising back to the top. (You can see the full text of the manifesto at this Web site.)

Marx also detailed the 10 essential tenets of communism, namely:

  • Central banking system
  • Government controlled education
  • Government controlled labor
  • Government ownership of transportation and communication vehicles
  • Government ownership of agricultural means and factories
  • Total abolition of private property
  • Property rights confiscation
  • Heavy income tax on everyone
  • Elimination of rights of inheritance
  • Regional planning

Now that unlimited spending has been authorized, Michelle and I will be going on separate vacations.

The people of Greece rioted in the streets, and were given a water cannon recption from the police for their trouble. Unless there's a full on revolution afoot, throwing shit at the dimwitted boys in blue is a fleetingly satisfying but ultimately pointless exercise.

We are stuck with waiting for a signal financial event, such as a default or a banking collapse, which is some way off if the world continues to accept unlimited monetization by the Fed as a legitimate economic policy.

It can't go on forever, of course, but it can go on for a while yet.

Edward Bernays the Father of propaganda had a lot to do to change these

'morals' the Finaciers of false wars(smedley butler "war is a racket') had a lot to do to cause unjust wars.  Greed power money sociopathic leaders had a lot to do to screw the people.  Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Oh and throw in fucked up state sanctioned and run pop-culture combined with State run indoctrination(education)

 

Then there's this,

RON PAUL: THE TEN PRINCIPLES OF A FREE SOCIETY

1. Rights belong to individuals, not groups; they derive from our nature and can neither be granted nor taken away by government.

2. All peaceful, voluntary economic and social associations are permitted; consent is the basis of the social and economic order.

3. Justly acquired property is privately owned by individuals and voluntary groups, and this ownership cannot be arbitrarily voided by governments.

4. Government may not redistribute private wealth or grant special privileges to any individual or group.

5. Individuals are responsible for their own actions; government cannot and should not protect us from ourselves.

6. Government may not claim the monopoly over a people’s money and governments must never engage in official counterfeiting, even in the name of macroeconomic stability.

7. Aggressive wars, even when called preventative, and even when they pertain only to trade relations, are forbidden.

8. Jury nullification, that is, the right of jurors to judge the law as well as the facts, is a right of the people and the courtroom norm.

9. All forms of involuntary servitude are prohibited, not only slavery but also conscription, forced association, and forced welfare distribution.

10. Government must obey the law that it expects other people to obey and thereby must never use force to mold behavior, manipulate social outcomes, manage the economy, or tell other countries how to behave.

Obama is completely delusional, and innumerate (in addition to illiterate).

 

Here is a person who does not get it, and is extremely dangerous.

 

“I am perfectly willing to negotiate with anyone who agrees with me. And you other irresponsible traitors, go to hell.  But it’s perfectly fine to disagree, as long as you don’t disagree with me.”

 

Willful ignorance, blindness, and aggressive stupidity.  A very, very dangerous combination.

The one and only thing the Republicans should have held out for is a one year delay in the individual mandate. Obamacare would then implode on itself during that year. Instead, the Republicans gave away a clean CR, clean debt limit increase, and gave away the biggest prize of all - any House control over future debt limit increases! No wonder this is a victory lap - because it is a huge victory!
