Is Obama Really Preparing For Civil War?

According
to an obscure report in the European Union Times (EUTimes.net),
"Russian Military Analysts are reporting to Prime Minister Putin
that US President Barack Obama has issued an order to his Northern Command's
(USNORTHCOM) top leader, US Air Force General Gene Renuart, to 'begin
immediately' increasing his military forces to 1 million troops by January
30, 2010, in what these reports warn is an expected outbreak of civil
war within the United States before the end of winter.
"According
to these reports, Obama has had over these past weeks 'numerous' meetings
with his war council abut how best to manage the expected implosion
of his Nation's banking system while at the same time attempting to
keep the United States military hegemony over the World in what Russian
Military Analysts state is a 'last ditch gambit' whose success is 'far
from certain.'"
The
EU Times article continues by saying, "To the fears of Obama over
the United States erupting into civil war once the full extent of the
rape and pillaging of these peoples by their banks and government becomes
known to them, grim evidence now shows the likelihood of this occurring
much sooner than later."
The
Times story goes on to say that there are "over 220 million American
people armed to the teeth and ready to explode."
The
Times article concludes by saying, "Though the coming civil war
in the United States is being virtually ignored by their propaganda
media, the same cannot be said of Russia, where leading Russian political
analyst, Professor Igor Panarin has long warned that the economic turmoil
in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the US is
heading for collapse."
Many
of us would be inclined to pooh-pooh such a story, but then there is
this column from Bloomberg.com entitled "Arming Goldman With Pistols
Against Public," written by Alice Schroeder. According to Ms Schroeder:
"'I
just wrote my first reference for a gun permit,' said a friend, who
told me of swearing to the good character of a Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
banker who applied to the local police for a permit to buy a pistol.
The banker had told this friend of mine that senior Goldman people have
loaded up on firearms and are now equipped to defend themselves if there
is a populist uprising against the bank."
There
is no doubt that the American people have good reason to despise these
international banksters epitomized by Goldman Sachs. Even one of Goldman's
poster-boys, Henry Paulson, US Treasury secretary and former Goldman
CEO, admitted that the American people were fed up. Schroeder quotes
Paulson as saying, during testimony to Congress last summer, "[People]
were unhappy with the big discrepancies in wealth, but they at least
believed in the system and in some form of market-driven capitalism.
But if we had a complete meltdown, it could lead to people questioning
the basis of the system."
Schroeder
correctly opines, "There you have it. The bailout was meant to
keep the curtain drawn on the way the rich make money, not from the
free market, but from the lack of one. Goldman Sachs blew its cover
when the firm's revenue from trading reached a record $27 billion in
the first nine months of this year, and a public that was writhing in
financial agony caught on that the profits earned on taxpayer capital
were going to pay employee bonuses."
Schroeder
concludes her column by saying, "And if the proles [proletariat:
plebs, working class, peasants] really do appear brandishing pitchforks
at the doors of Park Avenue and the gates of Round Hill Road, you can
be sure that the Goldman guys and their families will be holed up in
their safe rooms with their firearms."
So,
do Wall Street and Russian analysts know something that we don't know?
Is this why George W. Bush initiated USNORTHCOM to begin with? Is this
why Barack Obama is beefing up USNORTHCOM? This would help explain the
reports of all those potential detention camps that have been constructed
(including the abandoned military installations that have refurbished
security fences, guard towers, etc., around them). Has the American
people's disgust with these crooks and thieves within the federal government
and Wall Street reached a boiling point?
There
is no question that people are angry, and for good reason.
The
fraudulent financial policies of the Federal Reserve and its lackeys
in the White House and Congress have literally bankrupted the country.
Real unemployment is most likely over 20%. Taxes (along with costly
fees, regulations, restrictions, penalties, mandates, etc.) at every
level are going through the ceiling. America's jobs have been outsourced.
Barack Obama continues G.W. Bush's irresponsibility, digging America
deeper and deeper into foreign entanglements, at the cost of trillions
of dollars and thousands of lives. The IRS continues to harass and harangue
honest citizens, squeezing them like the proverbial turnip. And now,
add the insanity of a global climate treaty being hammered out in Copenhagen,
and a universal health care bill being rammed through Congress, and
the outlook is even gloomier.
I
feel very comfortable in saying that the usurpations of power, the encroachments
upon liberty, and the arrogant tax-and-spend policies emanating from
Washington, D.C., and Wall Street these days are far more egregious
than what George Washington and the boys were enduring in 1775-76 at
the hands of the British Crown. There is no doubt in my mind that if
Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and Sam Adams were alive today, they
would have given cause for the Goldman Sachs banksters to retreat to
their bunkers years ago!
The
fact is, we do need a revolution! But not a revolution of anarchy and
pitchforks. (The history of France should be ample evidence of the futility
of this strategy.) We need a revolution of the individual states: to
reclaim their sovereignty and fight for the liberties of their sovereigns
(We the People). That is exactly what our forefathers did in '76.
America's
founding document (the Declaration of Independence) declares that our
states are "free and independent." And so they are. We are
not "one nation" with one all-powerful central government.
We are a confederation of nation-states, united in a voluntary union,
with each State reserving to itself the power and authority of self-determination,
and ceding to the federal government limited, specifically delineated
duties and limitations--limitations that have been totally ignored to
the point that, for all intents and purposes, our once-great constitutional
republic has been thoroughly expunged. Therefore, it is NOW time for
the states to stand up to this meddlesome, every-growing tyranny that
is known as Washington, D.C., and defend the rights and liberties of
their citizens!
What
Dr. Ed Vieira (an attorney with 4 earned degrees from Harvard, who has
successfully argued cases before the US Supreme Court) wrote a few weeks
ago should serve as a template for every State governor and legislature
that truly cares about liberty. See Ed's
column here.
As
Vieira says, the states should resurrect their militias. Many--if not
all--states have the legal authority for such entities in their constitutions.
In some states they are called the State Guard. Some plainly use the
word "militia." Whatever they are called, they need to be
activated. And all that is necessary for this to be accomplished is
the order of the governor. It's that simple!
And
as Vieira said, states need to adopt an alternative currency--including,
and most especially, gold and silver. In other words, they need to develop
their own private economies, complete with their own banks and exchange
mediums. They also need to reject the multinational agribusiness and
develop their own in-State agricultural and energy businesses.
I
would dare say that the first State that determines to follow Vieira's
sagacious counsel (and rumblings of this have already begun in states
such as Alaska, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, New Hampshire, Indiana, Tennessee,
South Carolina, etc.) would have so many liberty-loving patriots flock
there that its economy would explode with prosperity--resulting in a
domino effect of many other states following suit--and the revolution
that this country so desperately needs would indeed take place. Furthermore,
such a revolution would be constitutional, lawful, moral, and, yes,
in compliance with the laws of Nature and of Nature's God.
In
the meantime, is Barack Obama really worried about civil war? He might
be. It is my observation that Washington politicians and bureaucrats
are the most paranoid people on the planet. The problem is--as with
most power-hungry Machiavellians--their paranoia often translates into
more oppression and less liberty for the citizenry. And if this is true,
it simply means that the states need to hurry up and do what needs to
be done!
