Tyranny "Lurking Just Around The Corner"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

18 months ago President Obama warned a graduating class to "reject" those that "warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner." It appears he went full Keyser Soze...

 

Source: Investors

 

Irony?

 

PRESIDENT OBAMA:

"Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted.

 

We have never been a people who place all our faith in government to solve our problems. We shouldn't want to. But we don't think the government is the source of all our problems, either. Because we understand that this democracy is ours. And as citizens, we understand that it's not about what America can do for us, it's about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but absolutely necessary work of self-government. And class of 2013, you have to be involved in that process."

Tyranny "Lurking Just Around The Corner"

Tyranny Lurking Around Twitter, Too.

 

State Department trolls Islamic State militants on Twitter

 

 

Our colleague Anne Gearan described in September these new strategies by the State Department to

“counter online militant propaganda with a U.S. messaging campaign.”   “The countermessage is simple:

These guys are lying to you, and if you go to Syria to fight Western oppression you’ll just end up

killing innocent Muslims,” Gearan wrote.

The counter-countermessage is also simple: The US State Department is lying to you, and if you go to war to defend the Petrol Dollar you’ll just end up killing innocent people.

  • Iraq invading Kuwait had nothing to do with US-assisted horizontal drilling into Iraq.  Lie.
  • Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Lie.
  • Syrian launched gas attacks against its own people. Lie.
  • MH-17 was shot down by Russian Separatists in Ukraine, not Ukrainian nazis put in power by a US coup d'etat.  Lie.
  • 13 years and counting since invading and occupying Pipelineistan to capture Osama Bin Ladin.  Lie.

Barry Soetero Husein Obama .... the most well documented liar in the history of the world.

 

Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.

Bill Maher

 

The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not.

Hillary Clinton

 

I have never lied about my relationship with Bill Clinton. The only proven liar, at this point, and the only admitted liar, is Bill Clinton; not Gennifer Flowers, not Kathleen Willey, not Paula Jones and not Monica Lewinsky, at this point. He is the only proven liar.

Gennifer Flowers

You have two choices with Obama. You either believe that he is a man of Christ... or you think he's a liar. And I'm surprised by the number of atheist free thinkers that support Obama, and their argument is essentially, 'He's lying about being religious 'cause you have to do that to get elected.' It's a horrible reason to like somebody.

 

Penn Jillette

 

The good news is that, according to the Obama administration, the rich will pay for everything. The bad news is that, according to the Obama administration, you're rich.

The best one, of course, is his authors biography which, from 1991-2007, claimed he was "born in Kenya". Explain that one away, Progressive useless idiots!

It's a lie that fit Obama's needs at the time. He wasn't born in Kenya and his father was not Kenyan but rather an American citizen. Like so many other misconceptions about Obama that which is widely accepted as being a lie is simply an attempt to direct attention away from a different lie.

A poster (1920) from the National Socialist Worker’s Party.

“ALL people tell us: Your programme appears to be correct but one point prevents us from joining you is that we don’t understand your OPPOSITION TO JEWS. Are there not also good Jews and, vice versa, CHRISTIAN SCOUNDRELS? Aren’t you aware of the Christian profiteers, blackmarketeers, exploiters, capitalists and their press? Can Jews be blamed if they are not German? We will explain to you: We fight all kinds of capital, Jewish or German, which is only used to earn interest, an income without labour or effort. We fight the Jews, not because they are the sole owners of such capital, but because they are the founders of this system and the deliberately hinder any opposition to it. We fight them not because they are the only profiteers but because their one percent of the population represents 90 percent of all profiteers. We fight them not because they are the only gluttons in our present time of need, but because their one percent of the entire population includes 90 percent of all gluttons. But above all, we fight them because of their ability to appear innocent whilst allowing others to take the blame for their deeds. Those who cause millions of small hoarders to be hunted as CHRISTIAN PROFITEERS so that they themselves can safely make millions on the black market. Above all we fight them because they only support a law so long as they themselves are not directly affected, but as soon as it is applied to criminals of their own race it becomes JEW-BAITING. We fight them as a foreign race not because they are non-German but because they fraudulently pretend to be German. We fight them because, as Mommsen says, they are ‘emzymes of destruction’ to countries and races. Whilst destroying countries and driving starving people to emigrate to strange lands they, themselves, settle in these countries. We fight their actions as they cause a RACIAL TUBERCULOSIS OF NATIONS. And we are convinced that convalescence can only begin when this bacteria has been removed. This is why we appeal to you ALL to attend the big public MEETING TODAY, FRIDAY August 13, in the Hofbrauhaus. Adolf Hitler will speak about: WHY ARE WE ANTI-SEMITICS? The meeting begins at 7:30pm. Listen to us first and then decide. An entrance fee of 50 Phennings will be charged to cover expenses.”

What self-rule? Here's proof of NSA control from Snowden in your own government's memo you were never meant to see:

The most extraordinary passage in the memo requires that the Israeli spooks “destroy upon recognition” any communication provided by the NSA “that is either to or from an official of the US government.” It goes on to spell out that this includes “officials of the Executive Branch (including the White House, Cabinet Departments, and independent agencies); the US House of Representatives and Senate (members and staff); and the US Federal Court System (including, but not limited to, the Supreme Court).”

 

The stunning implication of this passage is that NSA spying targets not only ordinary American citizens, but also Supreme Court justices, members of Congress and the White House itself. One could hardly ask for a more naked exposure of a police state.

Just tell them you're a "Pro-Semite anti-Zionist" and for them to FOAD already.

ZHers, AIPAC assholes and Zionists would do well to educate themselves on who exactly the "Semitic People" are. Start at Wikipedia: Here and here.

Speaking of Liar, Liar... "And the truth shall set you free! "  And for extended (3 minute) clip from the scene, see this little gem of a clip.

Note that of all the Semitic tribes and languages, there is no "Ash_K_Nazi" language or tribe.  Also, being pro-Aramaic (the language of Jesus), which IS one of the Semitic languages, most likely makes you a "pro-Semite". 

Praise the Lord, and hope you die, you smegma-licking Zionists.

The logistics worked at Bundy ranch, simple as that. In the desert one can apparently get away with sitting on an overpass with heavy weaponry. Most other places the local authorities are going to nix such activity. It would have been great if the Oath Keepers could have liberated Justina Pelletier (for example) but it just wasn't in the cards.

Personally I believe the day is near where someone will say as  Major John Buttrick  implored the men down by the river when the British soldiers  came up, "Fire, for God's sake, fellow soldiers, fire!" and they will and it will be on.

 

I actually thought it got pretty close when the veterans threw the barricades up against the White House fence just about a year ago.

Some weird stuff that day.  The Bureau of Land Management goons were Blackwater/Academi/Xe paid mercs.  The ugly MF'er at the gate was a merc seen in the video in Iraq or Afghan.

The Las Vegas PD supposedly had their SWAT unit one exit up the road to come in if a war started.

The guys on horses were unarmed and had a lot of guts.  They also knew people had their back on that day.

The MF'er Mercs killed a few of Bundy's animals before they were rescued by the cowboys.

He has become so unhinged from the normal reality you have to wonder if he's not psychotic.

His very own statements now contradict him constantly. Was it all just to get elected? Is he the NWO's Manchurian candidate? It sure seems like it because he hasn't helped any Americans has he. People like George Soros who supported him in a big way need to answer these questions in my view. The media gives them both a pass on this and many other issues. I wonder why?

Who is going to stop him? If he does not get impeached on this executive order on illegals what further action would ever rise to the level for impeachment? Do those birther people who wondered about his past and even God forbid his eligibility to be president sound crazy now? Would anyone have thought just six years ago that a president Obama would continue to enact laws like the ACA against the majority of Americans?

Since we aren't allowed to elect anyone who might actually be good for the country, such as Ron Paul for example, next time can we at least elect someone who is funny?  You know some real, lasting, and ever-present comedic value. 

Dan "Mr Potatoe Head" Quayle comes to mind, but the floor is open for nominations. 

 

This way, I think we could explicitly unite the "parties" and have a contest that the people might actually participate in. 

 

BTW Tylers, you had yet another mispelling here.  The headline is correctly spelled

Tyranny came to this country awhile ago, if you're black; or if you suffer from chornic pain in states that chase down doctors; or if you want to explore your spirituality or just get high with various kinds of drugs, hurting nobody - and that's just the first three examples that came to mind. Seeing tyranny as just around the corner is to be totally disconnected from the millions of people that get flat out persecuted in this country.

I thought Obama was the worst President since Jimmy Carter or Richard Nixon - but I was wrong.

It's now clear that he is in competition with Herbert Hoover for worst President in the last 100 years - who also doubled down on his flawed policies after losing a midterm election as the economy spiraled down into the Great Depression.  By the time he was done the US economy was destroyed and his party was virtually unelectable for the next 12 years.

It is equally amazing to watch Pelosi and Reed march lockstep with the President over a cliff, rather than move to the center even a little bit.  No compromise.  Where's Hillary?  The Democrats may do themselves in for the next decade unless they shift to the center.

I also shutter to think what Obama might do if the financial bubbles pop in the next two years - he and his staff are not equipped to handle a real financial crisis.

Real crisis - what would he do if Russia, N. Korea, Pakistan, Iran  went Alas Babylon on us.   I think in a real crisis he would hide in a corner and do nothing crying like a baby.

...who also doubled down on his flawed policies after losing a midterm election as the economy spiraled down into the Great Depression.  By the time he was done the US economy was destroyed and his party was virtually unelectable for the next 12 years.

You DO realize that your beloved FDR took over Hoover's programs and policies - and claimed them as his own, don't you? I've never been able to figure out why the people hated Hoover but loved FDR since they BOTH had the same policies!

Surely Bush was infinitely worse.  He destroyed the US and left Obama to try and pick up the pieces.

why is the .gov spying on us.  key stroke for key stroke? 

who in their right mind would believe anything obama ever says?

its clear the american public is very sure of the fact that he intentionally has been creating the demise of the country.

obamacare is a presidential-legislative-judicial-government fraud perpetrated on the american public.

thank g-d for jon gruber the obamacare whistleblower (otherwise no one would ever know the truth:+)

We have a President poised to direct the Federal Bureaucracy to actively break duly passed law.

Why do today's talking points limit Congress' sole possible reactions to defunding organizations?

If the Congress concedes that the President can order DHS to actively violate duly passed laws, then why cannot the President order the treasury to do the same?

A weak response here is the end of the Republic.

I do not believe that government is the source of all problems or evil for that matter.

I do believe that it currently serves the source of all evil and problems.

Obama: "Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted."

Yes, it's a sham. After all, the Founding Fathers were a bunch of rich guys. And, no, we don't need experiments. If Obama likes experiments, he should get a chemistry kit.

It isn't a sham because ALL the Founders were rich guys because some of the Founders, including many of the rich guys, DID believe in liberty and eventually won out over the Federalists.  The sham is that that liberty was taken at the point of a bayonet in 1865 and replaced with a phony "democracy" that provided more opportunity for fat cats than for the middle and lower classes.  Men were not freed, instead, all were enslaved by a subtle and sinister yoke that bleeds them and makes them cannon fodder for TPTB.

August 9, 2014 a date which will live in infamy!... Tell that to an Afghan, Iraqi, Syrian, Libyan and a Ukrainian!!!!

I'll believe it when I see it.  But if the people on this list want to change it they all need to show up in D.C. and tell the people in the Congress and the White House they ain't leavin till they get the "Hope and Change" they were promised nearly 6 years ago!

Ya know... Obummer promised "Hope and change" - but he never said WHO'S hope, or what would change. So by destroying the nation he could be fulling his grandest hope, and changing the nation he hates.

Well said indeed nof.

But how the fuck did the American people who voted for him the first time not want his head on a plate 1 year into his first term?  Then they vote for him again in 2012???...  Whatever happens at this point good intentions aside to change it -we've got what is coming to us for the worst most contemptible stupidity that their is!

Throughout this evolution, we benefited from both our Constitution and our traditions of limited government. U.S. intelligence agencies were anchored in a system of checks and balances -- with oversight from elected leaders, and protections for ordinary citizens. Meanwhile, totalitarian states like East Germany offered a cautionary tale of what could happen when vast, unchecked surveillance turned citizens into informers, and persecuted people for what they said in the privacy of their own homes.” ….. The White House, Office of the Press Secretary, For Immediate Release January 17, 2014… Remarks by the President on Review of Signals Intelligence

 

What that short extract from the larger unbelievable monologue should read, in order to be an accurate reflection of current presented and media related and politically inept supported reality is ….. U.S. intelligence agencies are anchored in a system of checks and balances -- with oversight for elected leaders, and protections from ordinary citizens.

 

FFS Barack, don’t you yet realise the farce you are starring in as the Court Jester and Patsy Fall Guy. And if you do, what does that tell the world and every man and the smarter rabid dogs of war which run in packs and in packets supplying Creative Command and Communicative Control of Almighty Power with Dominion of Domains in CyberSpace/Live Operational Virtual Environments.

Funny when people say things like "just around the corner" or "it's coming soon" or "if we don't turn it around things are gonna get bad"

Tyranny is here folks or are you too stupid to see it now?
