"BMH", the thing that still bugs me is Obama's foreign policy views. It's disastrous in every way conceivable, even I would think to those behind him pushing the other agendas.
It will be interesting to see if that doesn't soon change. I heard today that the Pentagon, a couple months ago, asked and got approval for a whole lot of money for some sort of operation involving the use of a 'massive ordinance penetrator" bomb.

Maybe Israel won't be acting alone.

From a Thomas Sowell National Review piece "Think Things, Not Words" at:
nationalreview.com

"Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, Moammar Qaddafi, and Vladimir Putin have all praised Barack Obama. When enemies of freedom and democracy praise your president, what are you to think? When you add to this Barack Obama’s many previous years of associations and alliances with people who hate America — Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Father Pfleger, and so on — at what point do you stop denying the obvious and start to connect the dots?"


Do the "powers that be" have these people on board (along with China), and if so for how long? It's hard for me to believe that a group controlling banks and financing would have enough influence over these people, who have strong self interests regarding power. To control them much beyond our own demise would be very difficult given the political and economic power vacuum that would exist.

“Do the "powers that be" have these people on board”……

I have thought about this for some time. The leaders you mention are unpredictable in their associations. I believe they go along with anyone up until the point that it would damage their own interests. It’s an unstable philosophy, at best, but they go along for the ride until something better comes along. If anything will further their own causes, they are on board for as long as it does. It also puts them in the position of knowing what is going on instead of being on the outside looking in.

That being said, Obama was a good choice for the powers that be. He appears radical and different enough from any president in recent history to appeal to these leaders. One must admit that past strategies for dealing with these leaders did nothing to solidify even a fairly positive association for very long. Think of it as the powers’ Hail Mary pass toward a New World Order. The problem for them is that they have to rely on the receiver. In the end, the game is only won if those leaders hold on to the ball. That’s always a risky undertaking, but it has to be attempted.

By the way, the link you posted didn’t work….I googled and got this address. http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=OGQ3Y...YTAxMDc4YTAxMmFlZWY=

Well "BMH", that makes as much sense as anything I can come up with. Probably explains why Hillary was dumped for Obama. She or McCain would have slowly plodded the same course. Selecting Obama seems to indicate a sense of urgency on their part to get the New World Order in place, more solidly than would have happened otherwise.
Getting control of us and our economy is key.



Sorry for the bad link....for some reason it didn't copy correctly.

"Probably explains why Hillary was dumped for Obama. She or McCain would have slowly plodded the same course."

That's exactly my thought. It scares me to think what would have happened had either of them made it into office - America's eyes are opening and that's a good thing. How long would it have taken otherwise?

"America's eyes are opening and that's a good thing."

True enough, but there may not be enough time left with the the way they're moving. The whole thing was fast tracked, with the selection of Obama, for reasons which we'll soon understand. Well,... understanding may be a bit difficult if they're successful since the "truth" will be much harder to find once they control ALL media, which is underway as we speak.
Honest Democrats and Republicans in Congress, hopefully there are enough left, must be pressured to stand up. They have the tools defined in their Oath of Office.

"President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize"

Talk about dumbing down an award.......as if Jimmy Carter wasn't funny enough.

"It will be interesting to see if that doesn't soon change. I heard today that the Pentagon, a couple months ago, asked and got approval for a whole lot of money for some sort of operation involving the use of a 'massive ordinance penetrator" bomb.

Eliminates that possibility.


I wonder if the bombing of the moon will now be called off?

Sorta takes the signifigance and honor out of the award, doesn't it? Its amazing how much Omamma accomplished in just the first 12 days of his administration to be nominated for the award.

It parallels the lack of importance and notoriety of the Time Man of the Year award, doesn't it?

"President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize"

Hahahaha. Good one.

Let's see: if Barack Obama had the experience to be president, then just about anyone can be president. If Barack Obama can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize after 11 days in office, then just about anyone can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Even those around him thought they were being "Punk'd" and that says more than anything else.

And this is sort of like a script for an SNL skit: http://www.financialpost.com/scripts/story.html?id=2085707

From a new report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers "scoring" the provisions of the health care bill.


"Potential Impact of Health Reform on the Cost of Private Health Insurance Coverage
..............
This analysis shows that the cost of the average family coverage is approximately $12,300 today and could be expected to increase to approximately:
􀁸 $15,500 in 2013 under current law and to $17,200 if these provisions are implemented.
􀁸 $18,400 in 2016 under current law and to $21,300 if these provisions are implemented.
􀁸 $21,900 in 2019 under current law and to $25,900 if these provisions are implemented.
This analysis shows that the cost of the average single coverage is $4,600 today and could be expected
to increase to:
􀁸 $5,800 in 2013 under current law and to $6,400 if these provisions are implemented.
􀁸 $6,900 in 2016 under current law and to $7,900 if these provisions are implemented.
􀁸 $8,200 in 2019 under current law and to $9,700 if these provisions are implemented."


These rising costs, especially under the provisions, are why most all employers will drop coverage altogether, effectively forcing their employees into the government plan. They, as well as individuals, will be taxed into the government plan. Effectively, contrary to the government line, choice is eliminated, not expanded.

More are starting to "get it". Better late than never, I guess.

This government is inherently hypocritical, deceitful and dishonest. Obama and his circle of buffoons are systematically disassembling this country because on top of this, our debt, and the dollar's demotion we're headed toward becoming a third world nation. al-Qaeda couldn't have caused this much long term damage.

A lot of people were fooled by this immoral and corrupt magician.

What I hope more and more are seeing is the blatant, arrogant dishonesty displayed by Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, Baucus, Graham (gotta add stupidity for him along with others not named), etc. Oh, gotta add Schumer, whose probably one of the worst, because I just saw him spouting off how there's now an even greater opportunity to screw the insurance companies. Few in Congress play the class warfare game as dishonestly as he does.

These people, who have never managed or run ANYTHING by ANY measure of success, now proclaim that they can run health care more efficiently while saving billions of dollars. All the while hoping no one will realize that they're already responsible for much of what is wrong with the system. (Medicaid, Medicare, tort costs, regulations) Certainly no media source other Fox News or talk radio will highlight it.
Anyone who actually believes most anything coming out of their mouths, especially concerning health care, deserves what they end up with.

I and others, however, won't. There's gotta be more of us than them or we're ALL doomed. Us, our children and grandchildren.

"...our children and grandchildren."

This is what I find most astounding. I don't have kids, but I would certainly think those who do (most people) would want to create or leave a better world or standard of living–or at the very least some semblance of opportunity for prosperity–for their heirs. Obama (and when I say Obama, I really mean the man and the entire federal government that is being "led*" by him) is in the midst of screwing this country up for a long, long time.

It's seems people are willing to trade what remains of their freedom for a convenient, cozy shoddily defined package of hope. Only problem is hope is enormously expensive and we're all broke (as a nation), so we can't afford even an ounce of it.

*More like misled.

Yeah, Graham has turned into a confused and disoriented political turd. I once thought that he and DeMint (who I've met and knew on a business level years ago) might be able to gain some traction as counter insurgents to the liberal invasion of Washington...but now I'm not so confident. DeMint is a really bright guy, albeit a little green as a politician. I met him before he ran for office.
