            Alright!  Now everybody just hold on a minute!

            We all need to widen our focus just a bit. 

            Because, you see, our opponents, politically speaking, are not what or who we are led to believe by our lords and masters and their pet media.

            Our opponents are not that black guy, the Pakistani immigrant, the Mexican crossing the river, the white guy acting like an ass, even the idiot in the Hummer driving while chatting on his cell phone. 

            Nor is it the Conservative Right, the Liberal Left,  the Religious Nutbars, or the Sacrilegious Scientists. 

            These are all invented classifications with but one purpose…

            “Divide and Conquer”

            I don’t know who first hypothesized the idea, but it is and was a good one.

            If your population is too busy fighting each other over wrongs real or imagined, they are too busy to notice what you are doing to them AND are likely to attribute such acts to their apparent enemies anyway.

            i.e.: By creating or enhancing such divisions as race hatred, religious conflict, class struggle, the true opponents of our generation continue with their program unhindered.

            Look at the situation item by item.

1.    Who interferes in your business operation with little concern over how it affects your bottom line or that of your employees.?

2.    Who interferes in and with the way you raise and educate your own children?

3.    Who decides how much of YOUR hard earned money must be TAKEN from you by force and intimidation for purposes arcane and possibly against your personal beliefs?

4.    Who has forced you to endure Gestapo like procedures merely to travel within your own country?

5.    Who tells you that you must make sacrifices for the good of all while sucking down salaries, pensions and perks that would be the envy of 85% of Americans if they were more widely known. ?

6.    Who spends their entire working day, aside from lunches, junkets, and photo ops, writing, supporting, lobbying for and passing MORE and MORE legislation designed specifically to interfere with YOUR daily life even MORE than said laws already do. ?

7.    Who has managed to include in those laws, loopholes absolving them and their co-workers in every capitol, from responsibility for virtually any actions they may take or cause to be taken, rendering them untouchable?

8.    Who continue to create agencies with the power to regulate with the force of law (IRS, EPA, DEA, ATF) above, beyond and generally hidden from civilian oversight?

9.    Whose vest pocket media continues to distract the populace from the actual conditions of modern life with propaganda about the “easy availability” of money and a life of ease with TV shows like Cribs and others highlighting the opulent lifestyle of sports and entertainment celebrities as if that is the normal standard of living and the average schmo is being kept from that lifestyle by the parties mentioned above?

10.Who is continually pontificating about the altruistic motives for their own actions while they take away from your lifestyle bit by bit and add to their own with pay raises (while unemployment skyrockets), mega dollar “loans” to companies about to declare bankruptcy (while driving existing businesses either out of business, out of state, or, out of the country), and, of course, the “Golden Parachute”, giving executives who drive their own corporations into receivership multi-million dollar “retirement” packages.

The general drift of this is that our (your and my) true opponents are not the guy next door or across the street, regardless of political or religious belief or ethnicity… It is the political-industrial-media complex driven aristocracy that has arisen and is in the process of putting its jackbooted foot on ALL our throats.

This time it really is US vs. THEM, Dammit!  

It’s just a different THEM than we have been led to believe.  Look around and decide for yourself. 

You don’t have to like the guy next to you to fight for freedom.  Because you are fighting for the freedom to make those decisions for yourself rather than relying on the government or media to tell you who to hate.  

This I Believe by Robert A. Heinlein

  "I am not going to talk about religious beliefs but about matters so obvious that it has gone out of style to mention them. I believe in my neighbors. I know their faults, and I know that their virtues far outweigh their faults.

  "Take Father Michael down our road a piece. I'm not of his creed, but I know that goodness and charity and lovingkindness shine in his daily actions. I believe in Father Mike. If I'm in trouble, I'll go to him."

  "My next-door neighbor is a veterinary doctor. Doc will get out of bed after a hard day to help a stray cat. No fee--no prospect of a fee--I believe in Doc.

  "I believe in my townspeople. You can know on any door in our town saying, 'I'm hungry,' and you will be fed. Our town is no exception. I've found the same ready charity everywhere. But for the one who says, 'To heck with you - I got mine,' there are a hundred, a thousand who will say, "Sure, pal, sitdown."

  "I know that despite all warnings against hitchhikers I can step up to the highway, thumb for a ride and in a few minutes a car or a truck will stop and someone will say, 'Climb in Mac - how far you going?'

  "I believe in my fellow citizens. Our headlines are splashed with crime yet for every criminal there are 10,000 honest, decent, kindly men. If it were not so, no child would live to grow up. Business could not go on from day to day.

  Decency is not news. It is buried in the obituaries, but is a force stronger than crime. I believe in the patient gallentry of nurses and the tedious sacrifices of teachers. I believe in the unseen and unending fight against

desperate odds that goes on quietly in almost every home in the land.

  "I believe in the honest craft of workmen. Take a look around you. There never were enough bosses to check up on all that work. From Independence Hall to the Grand Coulee Dam, these things were built level and square by craftsmen who were honest in their bones.

  "I believe that almost all politicians are honest. there are hundreds of politicians, low paid or not paid at all, doing their level best without thanks or glory to make our system work. If this were not true we would never have gotten past the 13 colonies.

  "I believe in Rodger Young. You and I are free today because of endless unnamed heroes from Valley Forge to the Yalu River. I believe in -- I am proud to belong to -- the United States. Despite shortcomings from lynchings to bad faith in high places, our nation has had the most decent and kindly internal practices and foreign policies to be found anywhere in history.

               [Rodger Wilton Young (April 28, 1918 – July 31, 1943) was an Americaninfantryman in the U.S. Army during World War II. He was killed on the island of New Georgia while helping his platoon withdraw under enemy fire. For his actions, he posthumously received the United States' highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor.]

  "And finally, I believe in my whole race. Yellow, white, black, red, brown. In  the honesty, courage, intelligence, durability, and goodness of the overwhelming majority of my brothers and sisters everywhere on this planet. I am proud to be a human being. I believe that we have come this far by the skin of our teeth. That we always make it just by the skin of our teeth, but that we will always make it. Survive. Endure. I believe that this hairless embryo with the aching, oversize brain case and the opposable thumb, this animal barely up from the apes will endure. Will endure longer than his home planet -- will spread out to the stars and beyond, carrying with him his honesty and his insatiable curiosity, his unlimited courage and his noble essential decency.

  "This I believe with all my heart."

Robert A. Heinlein wrote this item in 1952. His wife, Virginia Heinlein, chose to read it when she accepted NASA's Distinguished Public Service Medal on October 6, 1988, on the Grand Master's behalf (it was a posthumous award). Mrs. Heinlein received a standing ovation.

And let me add; This I Believe:

   That Americans are truly the cream of the crop.  As stated above, humans have a natural gift for charity, compassion and self-sacrifice, but Americans seem to be the ones keeping the flame of humanity alive. 

  The new is full of it.  Disasters happen, and who is the first to arrive from outside the immediate neighborhood?  

   Americans, private citizens on their own dime or with some established private charity.  Not FEMA, not the U.S. guvmint.  (At least not until the political value of such a move is analyzed, charted, vetted, denied, negated and kicked upstairs to the bosses for a decision. See Katrina, FEMA's performance in.)

   Americans, giving up their own time, money and risking their safety to help others all around the world who might be in need.  

   Yes, we might have our own troubles here at home, crime, unemployment, homelessness, but these are temporary for the most part.  Especially now that more and more Americans are starting to realize that the source of most of our problems is our government and the ivory tower approach to real world problems that just keep digging the hole deeper and deeper. 

   Americans, of all races and former nationalities, are without a doubt, the most splendid example of humanity, generally speaking, on the planet.  

   95% of them are honest, hardworking individuals who care about their families, their commuities, their country (whether native or adoptive), and all they want from life is the chance to live their lives, pursue their own brand of happiness and to do both in the brand of Liberty our national forefathers designed.  

   The freedom to worship in the church of their choice, or not. 

   The freedom from oppression by a tyrannical bureaucracy operating without regard to the will of The People. 

   The freedom to keep their children from being sacrificed far from home for political ends they do not agree with. 

   The freedom to conduct business in an honest, orderly manner without a gestapo-like ex-government organization disrupting, destroying, and disemboweling their business and their family in search of a few more dollars to throw into the hungry maw of a deficit totally out of control.  

   Freedom from harassment of any kind was the goal of our forefathers when they organized this little operation in the way back when.  A republic where each citizen was sovereign, endowed with certain inalienable rights, which no one person, no organization, and no group of people could take away from 

them .

More later... Rx

Just saw the story about the Occupy protesters from Oakland coming up here to harass the Nazi protest over the white genocide in South Africa.
And, of course, violence broke out.
Now, I have no quarrel with counter protesting the frigging Nazi's.  The more the better as far as I'm concerned.
But Occupy started the riot by throwing stuff at the Nazi's and then transferred their attention to the police.  Attacking them and injuring two.
Typical Occupy tactics to get press and spout their Newspeak version of reality, i.e., they were peacefully protesting Nazi's and the Police attacked them to protect the Nazi's.
Followed by the by now standard expostulations of innocence, peaceful intentions, and nonviolent motivations.
And, of course, the usual nonsensical pseudo explanations of their philosophy, aims and goals.
As if they recruited from every continuation high school on the west coast for the rank and file.
Which might explain why they managed to get so many people to fall for their line and get involved.
Ya know?

An Article Worth Reading!!
It seems my worst fears are coming true.  Congress is working, in secret, to pass a bill that will empower the Executive Branch to utilize the American Military as Team America, World Police.
Except that, in direct violation of Posse Comitatus, they plan to use it within the borders of the USA.
AND, they plan warrantless arrests, without charge, and without rights.  Including US citizens. 
Surprise, John McCain helped write this usurpation of the Constitution. 
Usurpation HELL! It is a downright rape of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  Read the article and don't let this happen.  Civil war cannot be far behind... Iraq right here in Peoria. 

What the Heck were they thinking??So, as a cabdriver in Sacramento, CA, I often see the "seamy underside" of the city.
And. let me tell you, it gets very seamy.  I see it all, from suits talking about multideals and megabucks, mostly involved with government, to street people with and without homes who just want something for nothing.  Usually spare change or a free ride.
I hear opinions that make a lot of sense and others that obviously don't make sense to those spouting at the time they are spouting them.
I hear Occupy protesters chanting socio-communist slogans and Tea Parties praying for sanity.
I hear pseudo-Christians going on and on about the Will of Gawd.  Or Allah.  Whatever the Flavor of the moment is.
I hear students droning on and on about the specious drama of their own lives as if it were a reality show and really mattered to anyone besides them.  Young urban professionals talking about the job and the people they interact with as if its all going to matter in 30 years when they are ready to retire the first time and start collecting their golden parachutes.
Junkies and drunks babble about how their lives got all fucked up, usually by someone else, because, obviously, THEY weren't at fault.
Peaceniks who abhor the military.   Vets and active service who cover the whole range of political views from anti-war to "kill em all, Let God sort 'em out".
Americans, almost all.  Wannabe Americans!  Gonna be Americans!  Should be Americans!
I actually think the first generation of immigrants should be sent home after they have their kids, because their version of culture shock is just too traumatic on us all, their kids are American and will probably have different political views, religious views and social views.
But so what????   That is what is all about. Right?
But the parents, can't or won't speak English, Hang on to old country ways and customs.  Way too disruptive for me.  I can do without it.  Unless they make the effort, thousands and millions have made that effort and it has paid off.  For them and for us, America, that is.

If you can't be bothered to make that little bit of effort, if the old country ways are good enough for them.  Then go back to the old country. I'll help you pack.

According to Webster's:
Peasant (def 2.)  : a usually uneducated person of low social status

Aristocrat (def. 3)   : one believed to be superior of its kind

If you take a step back and examine our modern society with an unbiased view, difficult as that may be, you will note the obvious:
   Although the terms have fallen into disuse, they are quite applicable to our current social arrangement. 
  Our new "self-styled" aristocracy believes itself to be the superior of its kind.  Just a little, or a lot depending on the source, better than the hoi polloi that make the major bulk of Americans. 
  They believe themselves to be smarter, better educated, more attuned to "political realities" and, oh yeah, RICHER than the rest of us.  Ergo, they are superior. 
  Better educated?  Well, most of them went to better schools, but education is more than the school.   Someone has to learn from those schools and not just buy your schoolwork from the local laissez faire nerd.  That is where RICHER comes in handy.  
  Smarter?  Exactly how many of these supposedly smarter upper class types keep stepping on their own appendages publicly and repeatedly.  Bill Clinton, George Bush, Paris Hilton.  The list goes on. 
  More attuned to political realities?   Well, after years of indoctrination by Socialist educators and mentors (i.e. Obama's recent revelations of his  mentors), that is definitely open to question.  
Webster’s (again) 
Reality:  def 2. a (1) : a real event, entity, or state of affairs  (2) : the totality of real things and events.

This obviously does NOT include the current “close your eyes and repeat ‘it MUST be true, it MUST be true” attitude of certain leftist/Liberal/Socialist/Communistic world leaders living in Washington, D.C.

The tactic is the same one Clinton tried, The Big Lie, fine tuned by J. Stalin in post WWII U.S.S.R.  Keep telling the same lie often enough and eventually people will start believing it. 

Reality is not defined by what some aristocrat wants to be true, i.e. Great big Socialist One World Government with a docile proletariat happily toiling away at distasteful tasks, and a kindly, beneficent gentry running things only because they are qualified and better able to handle the complicated tasks involved.

Reality is almost a hundred years of dreadful history highlighting the immense, repeated failure of Socialism to accomplish anything useful besides allow tyrants to massacre millions of their own people in relentless efforts to maintain their power and control over those people.

Economies devastated, famines hushed up, five year plan disasters, mass murder commonplace.  Propaganda works, for a while, but eventually, the truth will out.

EVENTUALLY THE TRUTH WILL OUT.!

Well, it's just one thing after another.
The damn socialists and statists are really working hard at trying to just dismantle the Republic. 
I was just watching "Pure Country" with George Strait.  Not that movie, corny as it is, is a completely excellent commentary about Americans.
There is one scene at a rodeo where the guy on the horse carries a US flag around the arena several times and all the hats in the arena came off, except his of course, and I do mean ALL THE HATS.
 There just is not that sort of respect for the flag and all it stands for anymore in the cities and even in the larger towns.
Dumb hillbilly rednecks who just happen to represent the heart and soul of this country that was.
There are quotes about the situation we find ourselves in now, from history, fiction, commentary etc.
Usually along the lines of "those who do not remember history are condemned to repeat it." 
And we are repeating history.  The history of every golden age nation. 
The golden age is ending, apparently by our own design.  That is the collective "our". i.e., Most people of this country are buying the consumerist line that we are all destined to be rich and famous.
Others have apparently purchased huge lots of "everybody can be well off, if we just 'manage' everybody's wealth for them.  Meaning redistribution of said wealth.  Except for theirs, of course, because after all, they are already contributing by helping you spread yours around, whether you want to or not.
The government no longer even cares what the people want.  See Obamacare.
Votes no longer count for squat, just check that last few "popular" initiatives.  What?  They aren't around.?  Well, imagine that.
Your money... Thanks to the Fed,  and a few other minor factors, it now costs $5.00 for a loaf of bread. Gas is hovering between $3 and $5 per gallon.
Every day we hear some new move to put us as a nation under the thumb of the United Nations, an organization made up primarily of Third World Countries that can't run themselves, but they want a piece of our action.
Why,?  Because they don't have squat of their own... Why don't they have squat of their own?  Because their best and brightest have left and gone to America, where even in our screwed up economy, they are still better off than in their own shithole countries.
The government INSISTS on sending Trillions of the tax dollars they steal from us overseas each and every year to buy friends and what do they get.???
They get millions of people who hate us for what we have and they can;'t get because their rulers have stolen all the aid to buy chalets in the Alps to live in when their countries turn on them.
There are millions of Islamics in the world who hate the US, because in their entire lives they have read PARTS of ONE book.  The Koran. And the rest of what little they learn over and above how to wipe their butts with the left hand, is spoon fed to them by Imams with "agendas".  That is power.  To have all those people whose only knowledge of the world comes through THEM. 
Another quote:  "Power corrupts.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely!"
Reinforcement:  Look at the socialist American horribly misnamed education system.  We shuffle our kids off to schools that more closely resemble Mao's famous "Re-education camps".
Seriously, scratch a teacher, find a socialist. 
Another quote:  "No generalism is true, not even this one."
Americans beware, there are evil forces and deeds afoot in our country and we have all been asleep while they work. 
One morning soon, we will all awake and find ourselves in the same boat as the Jews, gays and Communists in 1930's Germany who "just couldn't believe Hitler was really serious".
Nobody believes that our government would turn on us.  They already have.

1. Does anybody really believe we are doing any good sending American boys to die in Afghanistan?
2. Does anybody really believe Iraqis really plan to have a democracy when we take our checkbook home?
3. Does anybody really want to keep giving Pakistan billions of dollars to bribe them out of nuking India?
4. Does anybody really care if the French really like us? Or the Italians or insert nation here.
5. Does anybody really want to keep giving our government millions of dollars to support the Third World?  Or believe they will come to OUR aid when we need it.?
6. Does anybody really believe they still live in the land of the free?  When EVERY pissant government agency can and will take what you own or save or earn whenever they want and some Supreme Court Justice for Life will just re-write the Constitution to suit.

If you answered NO to three or more of these questions, you really need to sit down and re-evaluate your own situation vis-a-vis modern political realities.
