The fires of Hell burn brightly beneath the
halls of government, mostly because men without honor, addicted to the elixir of
power, occupy those halls. But is it the fault of the men without honor, or is
it the fault of those who put them there with their votes?
Over half of the American people put Obama into
the White House in 2008 and 2012 because they bought into the shimmery mirage of
Hope and Change. They elected an inexperienced narcissists, obsessed with a
white-hate complex and convinced that America is evil because of past
transgressions. The voters negligently overlooked his past and associates,
(that the media covered up) were mesmerized by his flowery words of unity
and transparency and taken by the mulatto color of his skin. They thought by
electing a black man they might be healing the wounds of past and present
racism. Now, as the man behind the curtain, Obama's leadership inadequacies,
inexperience and the open sore of racism have been exposed like a bleeding
wound, the people switched to the other side on November 4, 2014 in the hopes of
repairing the damage they caused by their bad decision six years ago. It remains
to be seen if the change they have wrought will make a difference.
As Republicans celebrate their apparent wave of
revulsion by the voters for Obama and his party, has anything really changed?
The lobbyists are still there, the ideologues continue to spread their
propaganda and the money still flows to those who bend to the will of their own
self-aggrandizement and personal enrichment. Our institutions are corrupt, the
country is deep in debt, government spending is out of control, our borders are
still wide open, our public schools and colleges have become houses of social
and environmental indoctrination and the world is coming apart at the seams in
violent conflict, careening wildly towards what could be a Third World War,
triggered by radical Islam. Will the Republicans be able to fix all this, or
will they succumb to the siren call of power for power's sake, as have the
Democrats for the last 100 years? History has told us they will probably
succumb.
If there be no party that will fly the flag of
liberty, no matter what the cost, then there can be no free America. If the
people themselves do not demand that one party or the other fly that flag with
honor, they are responsible for their own enslavement.
It is preordained that the pundits, the
Democrats and the Republicans will spin the grand, mid-term election of 2014
from the perspective of their own biases. Whatever the nature or color of their
"spin", however they shape the tone of their oratory, it only masks the hidden
world of power and money that the average individual never sees and is purposely
hidden from them. We call it the "Moneypow!"
underworld. It is a shadowy world where men (mostly men) pull the strings
of the puppets that tell themselves they have power over the masses. These
powerful "Moneypow!" men use money as the
lever and greed as the fulcrum and enrich themselves when the money flows, with
every flick of a switch, or the push of a button.
Mass sums of money are moved back and forth
between the "Moneypow!" men, by the technology
of ones and zeroes that few understand. A trillion here and a trillion there go
completely unnoticed except by those who push the buttons. Millions and
sometimes billions of dollars are earned by an elite few, (central
bankers) who take a sliver of the monies transferred back and forth. One
quarter of a point interest adds up to $2,500,000,000 (that's billion)
with a single transfer of a trillion dollars.
It has been reported that America's Federal
Reserve moved $16,000,000,000,000 (that's trillion) around the world
during the financial crisis of 2008, just before Obama took office. Where did
the Federal Reserve get $16 Trillion? It was magically created out of nothing in
the form of zillions of electrons moving through conduits of copper and glass
and through the air at the speed of light. There was no substance behind the
fiat money they created and continue to create. It is backed up by nothing more
than the alleged good faith and credit of some country whose good faith and
credit could be as ephemeral as a mid-summer night's dream.
People kill other people for a minute fraction
of what is earned by the world's central bankers in less than a second and as
long as the central bankers are free to move money around, they care not who
makes the laws, or who is killing each other in the planet's plethora of wars.
It is in most government's interest to allow the central bankers the freedom to
move vast sums of money around the world. It is definitely not in the interests
of the pawns that find themselves under the control of the "Moneypow!"
men, a closed club of the powerful that only abide by the unseen rules governing
a quantum river of fiat money.
So ladies and gentlemen, will anything be
different under the leadership of our Republican representatives in Congress?
Will the flow of vast sums of fiat money stop? Will Republicans be able, all by
themselves, form the words in Obama's mouth and cajole him into being a true,
defiant and wise leader of the free world, ready to take whatever action is
necessary to protect Americans from all enemies, foreign or domestic? Will they
get him to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons? Will they get Obama to agree
to balance the budget and rein in government spending? Can the Republicans get
him to give up the idea of granting amnesty to 12,000,000 illegal aliens? Will
they get him to firmly close the borders, abide by all immigration laws and quit
releasing tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens onto an unsuspecting
public? Will they convince him to prohibit all flights from the Ebola torn
countries of Western Africa? Will he sign Republican-backed legislation and
finally approve the XL pipeline? Will he reverse course on Obama Care? Will he
repeal a lot of the legislation that has killed our economy and driven America's
entrepreneurs into the shadows and corporate monies and jobs over seas? Will the
Republicans be able to get Obama to rein in the IRS, fix the VA, or expose the
truth about Fast and Furious and Benghazi? Will Attorney General Eric Holder's
complicity in the administration's cover-ups and openly breaking the law, be
revealed? Will anyone be fired or go to jail?
After watching Obama's press conference
following the mid-term election, we're not holding our breath. Obama is as
openly defiant as ever and true to his radical ideology. He will not be moving
to the center in his last two years as president and may even move farther
left.
Is it possible that the Republicans will
embarrass themselves instead, in proxy fights and jurisdictional or ideological
disputes? Or, will they, in the spirit of cooperation, cross the aisle to get
things done in the interest of the American people and America's security and
prosperity? Will they live up to their ideals of less government, less
regulation, balanced budgets, realistically restrained capitalism and free
markets? Or, will it just be business as usual in the corrupt capitol of what is
slowly becoming, the American banana republic?
Or worse, will Americans once again two years
from now, switch parties in a land slide to the Democrats because the party in
power is not doing what is best for America, or isn't handing out more free
goodies to those with their hands outstretched and begging? Or, will the voters
throw out the Republicans because Republican policies are attempting to wean
Americans off of government dependency in order to return to fiscal
sanity?
In two years, or maybe even less, we will get a
sense of the direction of the party of Lincoln and whether they will have the
courage to put restraints on Obama's pen and 'phone, break the bonds of
corruption, resist the temptation of money and the obsession with power. Will
they vigorously take on those who openly undermine and oppose a vibrant,
prosperous, free and a sovereign America, including the President? What the
Republicans do and the results obtained from their actions will determine the
direction of the presidential election in 2016.
Yes, the Republicans have won this time around,
but the question is, what will they do with this apparent victory and what will
the positive or negative effects be on the future of America? What happens in
November of 2016 will illuminate the successes or failures of the Republicans
who suddenly and unexpectedly found themselves in control of the Congress in
November 2014, during the too-long reign of King Obama, the
Omnipotent.
