(The Swamp) --

"..THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD.."
"Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught..." (1 Corinthians 2:6a)

(March 31, 2014) Everyone, including me, thinks that President Barack Hussein Obama is acting like a King or Emperor. So, for a moment, let's assume he IS an all-powerful terrestrial ruler. Does he pass muster as a king? Let's take a look..

Thomas Hobbes, the great English apologist for the necessity of a monarch, posited that Nature is so corrupt, so vile, that mankind needs a governor who has unquestionable power. Hence, a Prince must be incorruptible, or his kingdom becomes equally corrupt.


Thomas Hobbes, "Hobbs of Malmesbury" (1588-1679)

Marcus Aurelius, the last of the "Good" Roman emperors, believed a ruler must act for the benefit of the greatest number of his subjects. In order to do that,


Marcus Aurelius (121-180)

  1. A Prince must be just, and put aside petty jealousies; otherwise, the state becomes as unjust and as petty as he, inviting anarchy.
  2. A Prince must be respected, so that he does not have to demonstrate his power and create bitterness among his subjects.
  3. A Prince must rule with actions, rather than words, as words are nothing more than shadows, which are strong in the day, but vanish in the night.
  4. A Prince must be wise as well as kind. Princes who are wise will understand the importance of kindness which creates discernment.

What, of these qualities, would Barack Obama possess, were he a Prince?

  1. We know for a fact that he deals for his friends. One look at the imaginary "problem" of Global Warming and those who benefit from the phony solutions to it. We know, then, that Obama is already corrupted. As a Prince of this world, his kingdom would be as corrupt as he.
  2. Simply listening to his political advisers such as David Axelrod, we know he operates in "The Chicago Way," where every jealousy is avenged, every aggrievement punished. The kingdom of this Prince would turn to anarchy and revolution.
  3. If only for his eternal lying, Obama is not respected, and only feared by cowards. In a kingdom, his subjects would be bitter and hopeless.
  4. Leading from the rear, while giving actionless speeches and meaningless platitudes.
  5. Finally, Obama is neither wise nor kind, and so, utterly fails the final Aurelian test.

In effect, however, are not the problems we see in our country today the same results we would see in a principality? How powerful, then IS our President? How much power have we already surrendered? And Democrats are PROUD of this man and his system?

It seems to me that it is past time to take many powers from this President.
 

DEMS
EAT
AMERICA


Ummmm..

(March 28, 2014) The President of the United States has illegally changed a law, passed by the Congress 22 times. The Congress and the Courts have made 16 LEGAL changes to that same law. The Affordable Care Act or Obamacare has caused more people more problems than any other act passed in the United States since the creation of the Federal Reserve System.

Even worse, there is no way to call this President on the carpet for his acts of felony. As long as there are Democrats in power, there is NO WAY to do ANYTHING about him, or to him.

Do you really want to live in a country ruled by Imperial fiat and promulgators of international cowardice? No? Then you need to vote so that your vote counts.
 

Same O, Same O

(March 27, 2014) UPDATE: I'm still sick. Will try to write something tomorrow.
 

(March 23, 2014) If a journalist has to get sick, this past week would have been the perfect time. And I am a lucky dude. I have been seriously ill for a week with a type of illness that killed Muppets creator, Jim Henson - one literally doesn't feel ill until it's too late. Again, my personal physician has saved my life. I am recovering quickly, but I'm very weak. Anyway, nothing has happened or stuff I've already written about, except for Justina Pelletier who is being screwed by the State of Massachusetts', their hospitals, and their child protective services (DCF) . If she dies, she will not be the first person in that state who has died from Physician arrogance and DCF false umbrage; And we all need to pray for her and that justice will be served to the doctors and the big business hospital which are killing her.



Same O, Same O

Other than that, nothing is new. Russia, who did already have its soldiers in Crimea and Ukraine, are using their strength to inculcate both countries into their realm of influence. The damn plane is still missing and the CIA is refusing to tell the Malaysians where it is, but the Australians may have found it. Maybe not. The South Carolina legislature is flushing the state's liberty down the toilet, again, on all the issues we wrote about, because they hate the Governor and want to preserve their power base, while passing crap legislation to make rich people's bothersome wives happy. DSS hates DDSN. DHEC wants to rule the world. And Bill Nye (the Science Guy), is proving to be an "AGW True Believer," who has nothing to do with science.

But there is one thing that NOBODY has written about, so I will: Veep Joe Biden, SecDef Chuck Hagel, and the very French SecState John Kerry (who did serve in Vietnam) have said that we do NOT NEED so many boots on the ground, as an excuse to reduce the number of footsoldiers, in the US military - far more than Bush had in mind. What the Russians have proven is that this idea is a complete FRAUD. If we had wanted to, we COULD NOT have prevented the Russians from invading as they have. That's how weak Obama has made the United States Army.

If we cannot inflict harm on the bad guys and remain solvent, then we are not the militarily strong state, we think we are, and we must be strong in order for our CURRENCY to remain strong or it will not be used for international trading. What we are, and do not have to be, is England in 1947, giving away that which makes us strong.

Now, I like the English, but I do not want to be them. Our world's safety is at stake.
 

FAITH & BEGGORAVICH!

(March 17, 2014) On this St. Patrick's day, it is instructive to look at the celebrations here in America compared to the mess in Ukraine. Millions have died so that we can celebrate the life of a religious personage as the symbol of Irish freedom which is really little more than an excuse for getting completely sloshed. - a distinctly American interpretation.

This is not to say that our Cold War Russian Competitors do not use every opportunity to get completely falling-down drunk, as well; but you can drink Irish whisky longer than Russian Potato vodka and not kill your kidneys and liver as quickly - so there is something positive to be said for the Irish-American point of view.


Both countries' poor were slaves at one time to their aristocracy -
both countries citizens get drunk on hard liquor, often.

I really hate to see Russia's government screwing the Ukrainians, once again. It's as if the opening of every century just HAS to see Russia finding a way to oppress the territory. I also am embarrassed that America has a terrible history of not challenging the Russians whenever they invade or punish a European country. Eisenhower and Poland. LBJ and Czeckoslovakia. Nixon and Lithuania. Bush and Georgia. Carter and everybody. Now Obama and Ukraine.

I know that Americans are far from cowards, but I also know that every American lusts for a peace which includes being left alone. Yet, we have a mutual protection agreement with Ukraine, not just through NATO, but also country to country. But with the current administration, do you really see us protecting them? I don't. I hope I'm wrong.

In the meantime, I'll just curl up with this bottle of Redbreast 12 and "talk a li'l treason wif me mates, don'cha know.."
 

OF RADIO SOAP OPERAS AND CIA SPOOKY TECH

(March 15, 2014) Remember the old Soap Operas on the radio? Not the ones on TV, although they could mirror, at the time, the old radio shows - One Life to Live, One Man's Family, Our Gal Sunday, Pepper Young's Family - like that. One thing that was universally constant, was the fact that nobody, and I mean NOBODY, knew that one secret which was always looming in the background. If they did, there was always some reason why it could NEVER be discussed. People died and came back to life again, mysteriously, and there was always some fabulous answer, which every member of the cast adhered to.

I have those old radio shows in mind when I ask the incredulous question - Do you actually believe that the United States spy organizations don't know, PRECISELY, where that Malaysia 777 went?

We have satellites which can see, CLEARLY, any object on earth on in the water larger than two feet wide. We have infrared optics that are so sophisticated, we don't need light to spot a subject we're tracking. The CIA has the ability to render real-time three-dimensional color imagery so distinct and so correlated that it pixelates only after 500 times enlargement.. from many miles in SPACE! We know where every submarine from every country is every moment of the day - don't you doubt it.

SURELY, WE KNOW WHERE THE PLANE HAS COME TO REST. The only thing we may not be able to do is image the craft, if it's under 6000' of water, which it would be, if it landed in the Indian Ocean which is the scenario of yesterday's update.

Now, should we tell anyone? Definitely. Even our enemies know we can do these things, and that we have these amazing digital capabilities. The Obama administration is a sieve. Technologically, what Bill Clinton didn't give the Chinese, the ChiComs figured out for themselves, or Obama and Ms. Clinton looked the other way.

None of what I have written here, today, is double secret information. The facts have been public since Tom Clancy first made his astonishing CIA guesses. We even have a Delta force. But if the Russians and the Brits know it, why hide the information.
 

"HE CAME NOBODY KNOWS WHENCE, AND HE HAS GONE NOBODY KNOWS WHERE"
- Davy Jones' Locker - Original Author Unknown

(March 14, 2014) UPDATE: One possibility I didn't address in the article below, has haunted me, and I need to talk about. If the plane really was stolen (reason #5), and the thieves were religious terrorists such as Muslimist Chechnyans carrying out a jihadi fatwa, they could have landed the plane over deep water. Once the 777 was adrift, they could have scuttled it with all onboard. This sounds awful, but like it or not - terrorism being an awful business - it would explain why, with the CIA's super- satellites which can be tasked at many places at once, no debris has been found.

I really expected the Malaysian Army would find the wreckage of the ill-fated air frame. I still think that original reason 5 is the most logical, IF they cannot find the plane.

(March 11, 2014) I'm going to take a guess about what happened to Malaysia Air's Boeing 777-200, using Occam's Razor, courtesy of Dr. Phil Gibbs and Dr. Hiroshi Sugihara of the University of California - Riverside:

  1. Airframe Disintegration - No plane lasts forever and it is possible that the Boeing 777 may have broken up after so many hundreds of thousands of miles flying time. but the probability of this happening is very slight, as the 777-200 is one of the safest planes in service today. Its service record is close to impeccable. The crash last year was Pilot error.

  2. Pilot Suicide - This is highly probable and should be considered along with reason three. The problem is that they have found NO wreckage whatsoever.

  3. Terrorist & On-Board Explosives - or "Tareism," if you're from Pickens County. It could be something as unnoticeable as a few welds, purposefully poorly done by a union member, or an Islamicist Terrorist using accelerant-aided explosives. Again, the problem is NO wreckage.

  4. Exterior Aerial Explosive - A missile strike, even an RPG, could take down almost any airframe with a direct hit. The problem, here, is that the explosive yield, except for a nuclear device, would not even come close to the power necessary to obliterate an air frame and leave NO wreckage.

  5. Stolen Airframe - This is most intriguing of all the reasons. Yes, it could be little green men from the planet Zeta Reticulae, but what if it is a more earthly and disturbing reason? What if the plane was stolen by terrorists? What if their plan is to "dress" (repaint and refit) the air frame, to match it with a different airline? Fill it with jet fuel and napalm and fly it into one of the behemoth buildings in Chicago? This sounds a little like something a tin-foil-hat Liberal would say, but, it's just the kind of creative thinking that attract desperately bad people.

  6. Under 500' of Water - In this case, the plane is lost to Davy Jones, and it could be any of the above reasons (except the Zetans beaming the air frame aboard their mother ship). Seriouslly though, in all cases, more than one specialist in Air crashes has said this is one for the books, because they've never seen anything this puzzling.


They need to find the wreckage..

Mr. Occam would be very skeptical of reasons 1-4. But the most important and puzzling thing is WHERE IS THE WRECKAGE? When they find it, we can all solve the mystery, if they find it.
 

BULLY FOR THEM!

(March 10, 2014) Usually, I wait to hear from sources before I write about scandalous behavior. This time, you would have to believe that the President and his sock puppets and stenographers tell the truth NOT to believe Mr. Obama has sounded the depths of foreign policy incompetency.

It's not that the President doesn't have access to some of the finest foreign policy minds in the world - he just won't listen to them. This kind of behavior doesn't just apply to incidents in other countries. He has acted this way in his domestic travesties, his economic disasters, and his appointment of an obsequious military.


Instigator

Constipator

Relegator

If you look at the definition of "passive-aggressive" behavior in the old DSM-IV (DSM-V is basically a political document, filled with odd definitions of classically variant behaviors, rather than scientific fact classification), you will discover that it matches the President's behavior almost exactly. Where does one find "passive-aggressive" behavior in the real world? We call them "bullies."

Remember the bully in your school? As long as she could threaten, she was the top dog. But when it came to supporting her threats, she either had her gang or clique do her fighting, or she withdrew, or ran away. The same was and is true of male bullies. Bullies like Barack Hussein Obama.

Somebody has to say this, because you WILL NOT hear it from the MSM (mainstream media). You certainly will not see it on the FCC-weakened local TV stations, nor hear it on any radio but Conservative talk-radio. The President does not lead. He stands behind his bully-boys, threatening any one who publicly disagrees with him.

One more thing: Remember that our government is being directed by only three people. THREE. And as long as these three people are in position, he is untouchable, and the Constitution is extremely vulnerable to corruption. They are: The President, the Attorney General, and the Senate Majority Leader. The President sets a rule. The AG ignores laws and rules as he chooses, while the Senate Majority Leader stops any attempt at impeachment by the House.

It's as simple as that. Ping. And we become a dictatorship. Run by a bully.
 

FRUSTRATING KYŌGEN, AGAIN, AND AGAIN

(March 5, 2014) South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy talked to Martha McCallum on Fox News Channel's Kelly File Wednesday evening. Trey is a favorite of both Ms. Kelly and Greta van Susteren for the simple fact that he knows the law and he tells the truth. He also sits on the committee investigating the IRS scandal.

Ms. McCallum asked him why they expected her to tell what she's hiding from the nation when she hasn't spoken by now, except to claim her innocence (she doesn't say about what, though) and invoke the 5th Amendment. Gowdy answered, "Because her attorneys told us she would."


SC Congressman Trey Gowdy - still waiting for the truth from the administration

He also said that Lois Lerner's attorney said he didn't like "what they [Speaker John Boehner and Gowdy] had said over weekend. - he [Lerner's attorney] wasn't specific." All they had said, for the record, was what Lerner's attorney had told them. Congressman Gowdy guessed that the attorney had wanted Lerner to proffer her information.


Lerner & Lawyer - more Kyōgen

"She invoked [the 5th] all five times," Gowdy told McCallum, "so that hearing was going nowhere... "We can't [legally] make her tell what she knows, we can only [legally] punish her for not talking.. and that [could make her talk.] We still want to make a [non-punitive] resolution with her, if she cooperates... [but] trust me, we can get her to talk [if we resolve to punish her.]"

As far as I'm concerned, I believe the attorney, Congressman Elijah Cummings, and Lerner planned today's little Kyōgen play, so that it would play out exactly as it did. Cummings is known for his active imagination, especially when people don't allow him to show his phony umbrage, which is what happened today.
 

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO FIGHT

(March 2, 2014) It's time to declare war on Nevada.

They have harbored and protected the number two enemy of the United States of America for, literally, decades, not only not arresting him, but also promoting him to the second highest office in the land.

We did not stint when Bin Laden was harbored by Iraq. We did not stint when evil-doers were harbored by Lybia and Afghanistan. Why should we sit still while this criminal against the people of America bullies women and children, forcing them to pay twice as much for a government service as they were paying for a private service with better terms?


Товарищ Рейд выступая перед американской Думы

The war should begin with the carpet bombing of Lake Taho, destroying the homes of the Mafia chiefs who live there and give so generously to him. Then send in the parachute corps (pronounced "core") to Las Vegas with counterfeit dollar bills in order to bet on KENO - (the odds are always in the house's favor), followed by a flotilla of chaplains to guilt out the hookers.. Victory is assured.

Of course, at any time, if they choose to surrender this international criminal, or show definitive proof of his suicide, the war would end successfully, and they could then plead for war recovery funds.

It's time. Get the troops ready. We should no longer afford to tarry about Harry.
 

HILLARY: AMERICANS DON'T UNDERSTAND THEIR INSURANCE(!)

(March 1, 2014) This is a hoot! Do you know WHEN Hillary Clinton knew Obamacare wouldn't work?


If you don't know who these people are, it's ok, it doesn't make any difference.

That's right. When it was called "Hillarycare," during BILL's first term! Even then, she was being warned not to claim "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor." Some of Bill's presidential papers were dumped today in DC.
 

MILITARY STRENGTH AND THE VALUE OF THE BUCK, PART II

If you'll remember, I warned several years ago, and again several months ago, that the only thing propping up the dollar was the military. The operating idea was that the stronger the military presence in the world, the safer our dollar would be.

When you can beat the living snot out of somebody, but show yourself as a friend, instead, your friendship is valued and so is your money. When everybody hates you and you're weak, globally, your friendship is valueless and so is your money, unless it's based on something real.

This chart from 2012 ought to scare the fluids from your body. Look how much the rest of the word depends on a complete fabrication that is the US Dollar. Interestingly, this chart was published about the time Germany started re-stockpiling gold, silver, and oil reserves. It's no wonder, now that Obama has ticked off the great democracies of the world, that these countries are grumbling to change the international "designation" of the float.

And guess what?! Our money is not backed up by anything. You know, in your heart, it's true. Why else do you think the feds won't let ANYBODY see what's inside Fort Knox, when it would be to our extreme advantage to show the world.. unless there's very little there. We trade paper promises every day we can't come close to keeping and have the nerve NOT to call it money. Yet. One number whiz has calculated that Germany's shadow Deutschemark (it's a not-so-secret measure Germany uses just in case the Euro fails) is so chock-a-block full of actual value that, even at its current Euro float, the Deutschemark could easily replace the US Dollar at $36 to 1DM. I know that sounds preposterous, and it WOULD have been, five years ago, or even before two days ago, but that was then, and this is now.

Reduction in military strength is a goal of the Obama administration. He has already made the proposal through his sock-puppet, SecDef Chuck Hagel. Forget the fact that Roosevelt made the same mistake while he was prolonging the Great Depression. Forget the fact that we need to be the good-guy with the mean dog for obvious world-wide reasons.

Dennis Prager said it best - "..the weaker we are, the meaner the world is."

I believe he is correct. We are screwing ourselves and messing with the very foundations of American ethical influence. Plus we're acting as if we WANT the dollar to fail so that America may fail, which looks more and more like a possibility, thanks (again) to Barack Hussein Obama and his company of DC clowns.
