The "Real" State Of The Union In Just 889 Words...
Submitted by Simon Black via Sovereign Man blog,
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, fellow citizens:
This summer we will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I.
This senseless, destructive war was started and championed by politicians who cared nothing for the 9 million people who lost their lives.
And in doing so, they began a century of warfare which continues to this day.
Our military industrial complex is larger than ever. We have nearly 2 million troops and national guardsmen, plus 3.5 million civilians employed in the defense sector.
With such awesome capabilities, we continue to resort to violence and death to exact political goals which benefit a tiny elite.
All of this has created a police state in the Land of the Free that is a far cry from the country we all grew up in.
Your government has spawned a culture of fear and intimidation. Nearly every federal agency, including the Fish and Wildlife Service, has its own gun-toting police force to pistol-whip citizens into submission.
And we're stocking up. Your government has recently procured 1.6 BILLION rounds of hollow-point ammunition to supplement our existing supplies.
But frankly, we don't need guns to harass citizens.
Our tax authorities have become more threatening than mafia warlords. The plunder is so severe that record numbers of Americans are renouncing their citizenship and leaving the country.
There are now dozens of federal, state, and local agencies and courts which have the power to confiscate your assets without any due process.
In addition to your house, your business, and your savings, we also have the authority to take your children away from you as if they are property of the state.
We are here to tell you what you can and cannot put in your own body, or whether you can collect rainwater that falls on own property.
In fact, on any given business day, the federal government issues hundreds of pages of new 'rules', proposed regulations, draft bills, executive orders, and/or regulatory notices.
And if you are not compliant with these rules, you may be committing a crime. Whether you know it or not.
When this nation was founded, there were four federal crimes on the books. Today there are THOUSANDS. Plus we have millions of government employees at all levels to enforce the penalties.
All of this, of course, is financed by you the tax slave.
You (plus unborn generations) are the poor suckers charged with paying off the national debt we politicians have created.
Officially the debt is just north of $17 trillion. But if you include Social Security and pension shortfalls, the figure is several times higher.
You'll never know for sure because we have become masters of deceit regarding official statistics, whether inflation, unemployment, or our liabilities.
But the situation is so dire that the Congressional Budget Office projects the Social Security Administration's disability insurance trust fund to RUN OUT by 2017.
We get by year after year by increasing the debt. And at well over 100% of GDP, we have truly reached the point of no return.
We are now in a position where we must default. Either we must default on our national debt, or we must default on our obligations to you the citizens.
We may end up stealing your savings. Robbing your Social Security. Taxing you to death. Or simply inflating away the value of our debt.
Naturally, we're going to screw you in the process somehow... so be prepared for that. Especially the inflationary tidal wave that's coming.
Our central bank has expanded its balance sheet at an unprecedented pace, creating massive asset bubbles in its wake. These asset bubbles have disproportionately benefited the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
Such wanton money printing has also been tremendously destructive to our credibility. Other nations worry about our reckless irresponsibility. That's why we keep spying on them.
Make no mistake: the consequences of our actions are here. And the days of the United States as the world's dominant superpower are finished.
As the decline hastens, we will struggle to sell our debt to the world and to ship our dollars abroad. Fewer nations will be interested in our empty promises.
And without the generosity of other nations loaning us money at record low interest rates that fail to keep pace with inflation, you will really be screwed.
When this happens, you can absolutely count on us to clamp down even harder on the economy and control even more of your lives. For your own good, of course.
No, this may not be the country that you all grew up in. But it is the state of our union... whatever remains of it.
And so my fellow Americans, I urge you to grab your ankles and get ready for a little 'shared sacrifice'.
But don't worry about me, or my senior staff. We will leave government with cushy pensions, $750,000 speaking fees, board seats on public companies, and top positions in the industries that we have accommodated at your expense.
And of course I will be paid handsomely for the arrogant memoirs I will write in which I deny any responsibility for the shit I've gotten you all into.
So when I say "shared sacrifice", I really mean "your sacrifice".
Thank you. God bless you, and God bless these United States of America.

BALLSTEEN!!!!!! the rich are the answer ! Obama persecutes the rich despite being rich himself!
TOmmy perkins http://hedge.ly/1ectDWB
YO...TPTB....Quit bitch slapping my gold.
If only this cheap-suit motherfucker would use this speech.
Fuck you, pay me.
Goodfellas
Of course he's one word too many.
This is the future of American Social Justice....Obamo-Cop!!
The Untied States of Amerika. The Republik is dead. Long live the Republik
As only Lawrence Welk could say,
wonerfullah, wonerfullah.
When discussing unfunded liabilities he mentions the insignificant Social Security, but not the goliath that is Medicare? I don't think these people have any clue what they're talking about. All real knowledge comes from math -- doing it and knowing it. Everything else is nice fancy rhetoric.

“When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarely, in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science.”

Wait..that was a bad Flashback to Stan Freburg on the Dr. Demento Show.
/sigh
Empty suit YES but cheap suit I doubt it.
"as if it owns your children"
Actually, they DO own your children, they are the SURETY against the debt in the banktuptcy of the USA or the corporation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA which started in 1933. While of course everyone looks at 1913 as the year, 1933 may be the most important yet overlooked year in the History of the USA.
The Bankruptcy of The United States
United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1993 Vol. 33, page H-1303
“All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.”
SLAVE. A man who is by law deprived of his liberty for life, and becomes theproperty of another. 2. A slave has no political rights, and generally has no civil rights. He can enter into no contract unless specially authorized by law; what he acquires generally, belongs to his master. The children of female slaves follow the condition of their mothers, and are themselves slaves. –Bouvier’s Law, 1856
“The primary control and custody of infants is with the government.” –Tillman V. Roberts. 108 So. 62
“The court stands in the position of parens patria[e] of children.“ –Ayers v. Kelley, 284 Ala. 321, 224 So.2d 673 (1969)?
“”Parens patriae,” literally “parent of the country,” refers traditionally to role of state as sovereign and guardian of persons under legal disability.”–Ex parte Bayliss, 550 So.2d 986, 988 n. 1 (Ala.1989) (quoting Black’s Law Dictionary 1003 (5th ed.1979)).
“The state has a wide range of power for limiting parental freedom and authority in things affecting the child’s welfare… In fact, the entire familial relationship involves the State.” –Prince, 321 U.S. at 167, 64 S.Ct. at 442, 88 L.Ed. 645.
“In other words, the state is the father and mother of the child and the natural parents are not entitled to custody, except upon the state’s beneficent recognition that natural parents presumably will be the best of its citizens to delegate its custodial powers… ‘The law devolves the custody of infant children upon their parents, not so much upon the ground of natural right in the latter, as because the interests of the children, and the good of the public, will, as a general rule, be thereby promoted.’ ” –Chandler v. Whatley, 238 Ala. 206, 208, 189 So. 751, 753 (1939) (quoting Striplin v. Ware, 36 Ala. at 89) (‘ ’).
So, there you go, you are the property, and you have been pledged against the debt, as Mandell House and his buddies told us you would be long ago...
“[Very] soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a national system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will effect our security as a chargeback for our fiat paper currency. Every American will be forced to register or suffer being unable to work and earn a living. They will be our chattel, and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions.
Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, forever to remain economic slaves through taxation, secured by their pledges. They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two should figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debt to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges. This will inevitably reap to us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor to this fraud which we will call “Social Insurance.” Without realizing it, every American will insure us for any loss we may incur and in thismanner, every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and, we will employ the high office of the President of our dummy corporation to foment this plot against America.”
Whoa.
And to prove his point he linked to a gif....
Obama to Congress: “If I want your opinion, I’ll GIVE IT to you.”
State of the Police State Address.
As Good As It Gets II
Sen. Cruz: When one thinks of Obama you start with a real leader in mind, then you take away all reason and accountability.
Obama: I have been working very hard to help fix the poor and middle class Americans and I'm sure they'll all be back on their knees in no time.
Damn thats Good
God bless you, and God bless these United States of America... Hold on just a sec,
Si Juanita, yo quiero un otro pisco sour, por favor. Si si, con limon, gracias amable.
Ah yes sorry, where was I ... God Bless Thomas Jefferson, God Bless the Monitor and the Merrimack, God Bless Apple Pie, God Bless Joe DiMaggio, God Bless Elvis Presley, etc.
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away...
Our State of the union in fourteen words:
My Subjects
I have a pen.
May the squid contintue to fuck your nation.
And the God Damn pen is blue!!
for a guy who left the u.s. for supposed greener pastures, simon has an unhealthy obsession with the u.s.
mr. black, you pussed out and left the u.s. so fuck off. we here in the u.s. will fight our battles when the time comes. we dont need your 2 cents from afar. you are a coward and a spineless opportunist.
Sometimes the most courageous thing to do is walk away.
Of the sixty six ways to get out of trouble,
the best is simply to leave.
Chinese proverb
36, not 66.
True, but walking backward will get you survival bonus points.
Somewhere high in the Patagonian mountains, a peach bellini just spilled.
oh i hope it didnt stain the chilean inflation protection bonds that were in his lap!!!
"Is everything to your satisfaction, senor?"
Peach bellini - redundant
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Up arrow though and snarfed my Makers
2 cents? I think you're being a little too generous with the value you put on his advice. Maybe 2 zinc pennies.
regardless of we may think of simon black, there was a lot of truth in that post
If I had the resources, I would leave this fascist shithole far behind in a New York Minute. And to all of the alphabet soup agencies reading this: fuck off and die a horrible death.
you make exuses. you are just another weakling
"we here in the u.s. will fight our battles when the time comes."
No, you won't, because that time has already come and gone. You sat on your stupid ass while your freedom was confiscated. That makes you the fucking coward.
What part of self-exile in protest do you not understand ?
When you are outnumbered and out gunned - then sniping from cover makes a hell of a lot more sense than a suicidal frontal assault by one man.
Fine post by Simon, and well done in finding some range and cover to shoot from.
Precisely.
This could be the State of the Union address for any President since 1913, just adjust the years (though Eisenhower warned us over half a century ago about the Military Industrial Complex).
Note that he warned us in his "Farewell" address. He didn't mention it for the eight years he was President during a huge expanse in military spending.
Likely something to do with his addiction to breathing air.
Note that he warned us in his "Farewell" address.
Yeah, but at least he had the guts to say something.
But he was directly responsible for the killing of a couple of hundred WWI vets camping on the Capital Mall. I believe he was Gen. McArthur's EO who ordered the attack.
SOTU means STFU
If only a president had the courage to actually speak the truth...
"Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, fellow citizens:
HAH! SUCKERS!!!"
Who gives two shits for what that felching globalist puppet has to say tonight? Lies and half-truths galore, with the signal:noise ratio approaching unity.
Not even going to bother as a drinking game; I'm skipping the noise and heading straight to the drinking part. Paging Mr. Fiddich... Mr. Glen Fidditch... please stand by...
"But it is the state of our union... whatever remains of it."
But it is the police state of our union... whatever remains of it.
There ... fixed it for him.
I don't have time to read this, I'm on the phone with my broker about making a change to my IRA.
I told you before just BTFD. That'll be 5% please. Have a nice day.
Obama took office with the US military victorious across the globe, several enemy states were under occupation and they were being made free. The American public was feeling the wealth effect of a giant boost in their home values. Tax cuts had been made over 8 years and the resulting job creation had most Americans wanting to work in a job, while the ladder up was there to climb as the economy felt huge wealth effects. The stock markets were sky high, soaring in a boom along with the housing boom. A relaxation of job killing financial regulations had finally set the great minds of wall-street and the bankers free to engineer new financial insturments of great potential value, and also provided capital to the rising new industries that were sprouting up. This allocation of capital by banks and the investment profits produced by newly engineered derivatives were returning secure incomes for all manner of public and private entities, like interest rate swaps for cities and counties, allowing a managment of risk and maximization of tax payer funded projects like sewers, roads and untilities. All manner of new financial products tailored for each need of the market. Growth in manufacturing was turning around the rush to China, as deregulation of labor laws and environmental rules, both of which had killed jobs, were making manufacturing more competitive here at home.
In war we prevailed, in peace we prospered. Then, an election was held, a hand picked candidate of the liberal left, some would say socialist, party used the leftist media to get elected. Upon taking over in peace and maximum economic growth, the leftist policies and anti corporate laws he brought with him have destroyed it all. New burdens of heavy taxation on wealth producers, i.e. the wealthy were passed, death taxes consumed more and more of family wealth, corporate taxes soared, while leftists in the administration regulated industry and corporations right out of the country. Wealth transfer from the rich and corporations soared on the back of many leftist and radical wealth confiscation laws. The result has been what we see today. The wealthy have been stripped of much of what they have earned and corporations are so burdened by taxes and anti job regulations that they are suffering from depleted capital stores and reduced corporate profits. Income for the producers is down, corporate profits have tanked, while handouts to the greedy in the form of food stamps have soared to record levels.
This is a story on an 8 year republican growth presidency which was followed by a crooked election of a Kenyan Socialist Muslim man whose socialist leanings have now been exposed in his policies of wealth confiscation.
Wars won at great cost are now being threatened by Obama's pull back of US forces around the world, he even failed to attack Syria when they are a direct threat to America, this is the action of a coward or a secret muslim. The economy has failed with the spread of socialist laws, socialist taxes, and a total re-regulation of corporations, coming near to bankrupting firms like GE and Boeing and Goldman Sachs.
Another election is coming in a few years time. I suggest America consider the Republican candidate as our only hope to return to the days of the Bush family rule and American war victories and economic growth. In fact, Jeb is available, and given the family recordm he is the man most likely to help put America back on track and overturn the rush to communism under Obama. Americans should know better than to elect Muslims with socialist leanings, the result is a rapid shift from Bush prosperity, to Obama communist failures.
The question is, can America wait another few years? Obama is a hack and a liar, this I admit, he is evil and that is no doubt. Isn't there a way to get rid of him? In this great democracy, the ability to vote is central to our expanding rights, freedoms and economic prosperity. So vote carefully for the right candidate at America's next great Democratic exercise in freedom and rule by the people. Election time is your chance to make government work for you and all of us. This is what makes us great, the right to choose, in free, fair and open elections.
Lol....Jack you've been drinking with MDB haven't you?
Jack Burton is no MDB, not that MDB is a friend of mine.
This is classic Jack Burton sarcasm. Look at the red arrows - he's reeling them in left and right.
Well done, sir.
Not sure if this is dripping wet sarcasm and facetiousness.
However, going out on a limb, I agree. Mitt Romney would not have done this to this country.
I dislike the Bushes as did Perot, rightfully.
But, yet, I still believe if we get the right person, the right 'narrative' and limited democrats (at least the pelosi kind) in the congress, we can turn this around.
THe same way Reagan did. He faced a monumental task after the buffoon Carter and succeeded on foundations of true conservatism and free market principals. Not to mention having to work with a democratic house and senate.
But, we have to be prepared to sacrifice all the McCains, Grahams, Boners, etc
Peace to us all.
Same here, though I did a couple retakes on what was the state of the nation when Obama "took office". We should all keep solidly in mind the timing of the Fannie-Freddie-CRA-GlassSteagalrepeal-Fed induced bubble popping. Obama was on track, after barely winning the nomination from hillary, to be defeated by fucking McCain/Palin when certain financial institutions were allowed to die and others made whole. And the leftmost senator among the Dems took full advantage to do the populist shtick about it, leaving McCain with his tired prisoner of war thing, plus the hope among conservatives that he might die and give us Palin. Their qualifications? You could stomach the concept that these two were somehow pro-American, or at least in their own peculiar and slanted ways. Obama was and remains anti-American. Romney stuck that contrast into his campaign slogan "Believe in America", for what it's worth. Obama married an American who thinks America is downright mean, and spend 20 years going to sermons from Jeremiah Wright. He is taking America down as far and as fast as he can get away with.
Agreed - stooge, puppet or knowingly - this is what he wants...the dreams of his father - revenge against the imperialists.
No doubt, Bush was a nightmare too. My contention has been over the past year and half to two that what we are living with is the effects of Northeastern Educational Elite dominance. Bush daddy, W, Clinton and now Obumbler - 25 years so far of the ivy league running things. Time to put an end to them, as well.
The dreams from his father thing, now that D'Sousa has be indicted by obamas statist stooges ....for shit Obama and his allies do massively without the slightest twitch by the justice department, congress, or the courts....should always reference D'Sousa's brilliant work decoding this fuck we've allowed into the oval office.
You guys are actually arguing about what colour boot you like squashing your face into the dirt?
Yawn
Bravo Jimmy! You get it loud and clear. Two boots on the same person. America is a one party state, that is clear to anyone willing to forget their love of the republican party and finally admit that democrats do more for corporate power than even republicans do. I ask people to look at Clinton's REAL record.
Drugs, when used to excess, are a problem.
Hahaha - I laughed, I cried .. I cried some more .. when I realized, this isnt satire is it? Well, if it is satire - its great - but even here on ZH I am often surprised in a negative way. So, Ill respond as if this is a serious opinion piece - apologies if I am biting the satirists hook :D
Elections? Presidents? Politicians? Seriously? The government is simply the tool of the criminal class. There is no way to rout out the corruption through voting. it may be possible if you get a tidal wave of grass roots people who will stop at nothing to rout out the rot at the root - who take over every polling station, every political action group etc.
If people get involved locally and take over the political process at a grass roots level - then after maybe 10 years of hard struggle you might get some decent people into the political system at Federal level. However, the courts will still be corrupt and attacking you all the way - evertime you get someone in place thats honest the media will attack them relentlessly, child porn will appear on thier laptop, or a 'secret' gay lover will appear making claims or any of a thousand other methods that the criminal elite will use to destroy democracy.
You cannot win within their system, because they own it - it must be challenged externally, by developing a new and competing system for their govt - and it must include the ability to use sanctioned, legitimate force against the criminal class.
But other than that, things are great!!!!
Obama's decision to unleash a new slew of Executive Orders is the biggest worry of all. Everything the author mentions is dead on, but the Executive Orders are the one you have to fear -- for example, "The Constitution says you have the right to bear arms, but my Executive Order says you do not have the right to own or possess ammunition." And of course the one that sweeps aside the Constitution and all legal rights, "My Executive Order says that in times of national emergency (to be determined by us), we can suspend the Constitution and all laws and can sieze any of your assets or possessions, for the good of the country."
Great comment, to the point.
Would this be enough to get torches, pitchforks and guillotines in DC?
Protestors Rioters will be shot on sight. Remain indoors. Until we knock and tell you to get out.
Oh he can do worse still. Start a splendid little war. Waste entirely the sacrifices made in the last two splendid little wars to the benefit of sadistic barbarian tyrants Enforce the laws against political enemies and waive swaths of it for friends. Oh wait he already did a lot of that.
Jose, the deed is done http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/articles/2013/10/end-of-an-era-last-us-lead-smelter-to-close-in-december.aspx Ammunition acquisition will be interesting. Why do you think the DHS got their order in early?
sorry to break the news, but the culture of fear and intimidation has existed in America for a long time. whether it was union busting fascist local authorities or McCarthyist witch hunts or US-USSR nuclear fearmongering, the state has used fear as a weapon for a long time. Obama's is not the 1st, just a perpetuation of a long line of administrations. the rant lost me right there; not that i didn't agree with some points, just looked like too much of a 'bring back the good ol' days' rant. hint, hint: the good ol days aren't what you think they were.
Uhhh...Turns out McCarthy was right and FDR was a douchebag Socialist who thankfully died in his fourth term of office after driving the USA into the toilet in every possible way. So much for what you were trained to hate and love.
I sense tribal bullshit. McCarthy was no hero, and to pretend otherwise is foolish.
McCarthy was a fucking zealot. If Wilson was the main launch engine to hell, FDR was a booster rocket.
To paraphrase Barry Goldwater who probably paraphrased someone else, 'extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the face of tyranny is no virtue.'
if McCarthy was right, he didn't go far enough instilling fear in socialist/communists to purge ameruka of them. the point is, fear is a state instrument, regardless of what ideologies you love/hate. funny to use FDR or Wilson as examples. that would put the 'good ol' days' beyond any but the most octogenarian of ZHers, implying that the 'good ol' days' might be a figment in the imagination of most people who talk about them.
I wonder how many lies this fool can tell during one speech. Disgusting.
Amazing post. Well done.
...and the sycophant goes... clappidy clap clap clap.
Good stuff
There's a Tom Clancy scenario from more than 20 years ago where a troubled individual nosedives a 747 full of Jet A into the SOTU speech, BTW.
So: Which president do you prefer?
Up arrow: Harrison Ford or
Down Arrow: The Capital One guy, Arec Bardrin or
Comment below: star trek reboot captain Kirk (Chris pine).
Pine.
Fun geek fact: Kirk's dad dated Luke Sywalker's mom.
You Lie!
Like I've said before, the name of his book should have been simply titled, "The Audacity".
Did Prez Camacho tell us to drink more Mountain Dew?
