The following article has been making its way around the internet. No
one knows who wrote it, but it’s spot on. I’ve done some editing to make
it more readable. — The Godfather
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I
know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to
it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something
happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to
fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make
massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or
no real oversight by anyone, has “loaned” trillions of dollars over the
past few years, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the
terms. That is our money. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why
are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I
thought this was a government of “we the people” who loaned our powers
to elected leaders who took an oath to uphold the Constitution.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our
economy. We have intentionally dumbed-down our schools, ignored our
history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are
exceptional, and why our nation is worth preserving. Students by and
large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate what they
believe without excessive use of the word “like.” Parents are not
revolting, teachers are not picketing, and school Boards continue to
back mediocrity.
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election
(violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial
that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and
one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?)
We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected
judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then
mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting
system into a banana republic.
The mortgage industry has collapsed, housing prices are in free fall,
major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of
collapse, Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our
entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke — the list
is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially 1929 x
ten.
We are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people
of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of
your children if they have the opportunity to do so.
And finally, we have elected a man of who we know very little, the media
won’t investigate, and who has not run so much as a Dairy Queen, let
alone a town as big as Wasilla, Alaska. His associations and alliances
are with real radicals and everything we are learning about him — drip
by unsettling drip — is unsettling if not downright scary.
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.
This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never
done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us
along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the
pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed
coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.
And that is only the beginning.
As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to
experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the
mid-1930s. In those times, the “savior” was a former smooth-talking
rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next
to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with
groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they
disagreed. He edged his way onto the political stage through great
oratory.
And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were
losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and
waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for
fear that his “brown shirts” would bully and beat them into submission.
Which they did — regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office,
while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand — the Great
Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government
power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by
bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged
to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what
to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,
How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the
jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the
military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children,
advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs,
and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across
Europe, and across the world. He did it with a compliant media — did you
know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and change. And
the people surely got what they voted for.
Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called
names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out
the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in
England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and
called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to
regret that he was not listened to.
Do not forget that Germany was one of the most educated and cultured
countries in Europe. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals,
laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a
shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was
rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws,
turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I
have a choice: I can believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell
me (even if they make me cringe with disgust) or I can believe what
history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades. Of
course, I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte,
and ignoring what is transpiring around me.
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff and
others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree,
perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and
tell them exactly what I believe and why I believe it.
I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next election.

Brown Shirts- Think of how CPS operates. Also see Volksgerichtsof - The People's Courts
"....The "People's Court" was set up outside the operations of the
constitutional frame of law. The court had jurisdiction over a rather
broad array of "political offenses...."
Which is exactly what Family Court is now. See What Happens in the FOG
