Donald Trump, Fox Network And ‘Ostriches’

Barry Soetoro continues to escalate his mockery of the highest office in our Land. Anyone who still believes that Obama’s promise to transform America is for the betterment of the nation is either retarded or embraces anti-American values. They are the baggage the rest of us carry as Obama and the Left explicitly dismantle our fiscal house and disobey the Constitution. A collapse of the Dollar would make it that much easier for them to transform the nation into a socialist regime---a government model which has repeatedly failed the world over.
Unfortunately, the club of delusionary Americans has lately been joined by
Bill O’Reilly and Governor Mike Huckabee who publicly deny significance to the fact that Mr. Soetoro (aka Obama) has unlike any prior president failed to demonstrate his eligibility to run for President, and that such lack of compliance with the Constitutional requirement of birthright might allow an anti-American alien to undermine our government, which is exactly what we are witnessing! The facts speak for themselves: why has Mr. Obama spent a fortune ($2,000,000) to hide much about his past including his long form birth certificate along with health and education records which deserve public scrutiny for any candidate running for the nation’s highest office? Why has the leftwing media given Barry Soetoro a free pass? Is it to assuage their never ending guilt over racism which occurred half a century ago, even if it means putting an unqualified person in the White House? Their PC has paradoxically placed a noose around America’s neck.
Integrity, wisdom, and statesmanship are necessary presidential characteristics completely lacking in Mr. Soetoro whose narcissistic personality dominates his actions. That was demonstrated this week when he kicked off his 2012 re-election campaign at a time when the nation needs a capable leader and not a professional campaigner. He does not care that he and Fedzillacrats have spent America into a hole to the tune of 14.25 trillion dollars and growing. Worse, he proposes to spend more to grow Fedzilla! How can any patriot with basic mathematical skills not understand that reliance upon foreign nations for our energy and our finances are parallel roads to national disaster? Either can be taken away from us in an instant, leading to immediate collapse of our currency and our survival as a free nation. Is that Mr. Obama’s goal?
Enter Mr. Trump---newcomer to the presidential campaign trail. While portrayed as a joke by the Left and underestimated by Bill O’Reilly of FOX, he has very smartly elevated the issue of Mr. Soetoro’s eligibility to the forefront—an issue sidestepped by the DNC, the judicial branch and Congress. The Left’s cheerleaders and liberal media darlings (including Mr. O’Reilly) take their cues from their network owners and condescendingly refer to those patriots who make connections between Obama’s anti-American behavior and concealment of his true ‘identity’ as ‘right wing extremists’ or ‘birthers’. Since when did ‘fair and balanced’ include denying the undeniable? Not so for Donald Trump whose willingness to confront real issues head on in a refreshingly practical way has earned him a top spot in the list of presidential contenders. Patriots are patiently waiting to see who emerges to dump the current bag of manure from the White House.

New Party - Americans for Common Sense".  We are tired of our tax expeditures and entitlements going to the exact people your "Tea Party" supports; the absolute wealthy, filthy rich such as reality TV proponents like the Kardashian's, Donald Trump Mahattan rich who stole our tax money and you people keep attacking the poor which will backfire and started this week. We want US jobs back here.  You prostelyze the poor because you don't have enough votes bt fear of the government, yet, they aren't invited to your Sarah Palin Coctail Parties. We want your global executives to pay tariffs to re-build America.  Your donors are wealthy, we have CNN, ABC, CBS, PBS and you have FOX. Stop deamonizing the poor, our education system is failing, our railines, airlines aging, oil wells destroyed valued fisheries which create employment here.  The goal for Americans for Common Sense is to streamline American Government while protecting our jobs, environment, education and morality.  We also want infrastructure re-built at your wealthy contributors expense and to eliminate Warren Buffet's who undermine the American dream.  Those who are really disillusioned, remember, that AIG gave your tax dollars to Lybyan banks, Wells Fargo anounced that when government functioned well, many jobs from contractors were created and the ecconomy was significantly better.  Why ought politicians get paid when the troops don't during budget impasse.  Many people are happy their kids are now covered by Health Care Reform.  Many students get education funding that will latter pay for the wealthy who are aging and need health care.  Rememeber, "Americans for Common Sense" is coming.

What Did They Know?

As I have stated before, I am deeply engrossed in the reading of a two-volume set on the Constitutional debates. Most of these were carried out in various newspapers of the time. As I read, I begin to understand the position of those opposed to the new constitution. They had a very good take on human nature and our ability to corrupt that which is intended to be good and beneficial. Look at this piece…

Reply to Wilson’s Speech by Arthur Lee (Cincinnatus) November 28, 1787

“Sir, In my former observations on your speech, to your fellow-citizens, explanatory and defensive of the new constitution; it has appeared, by arguments to my judgment unanswerable, that by ratifying the constitution, as the convention proposed it, the people will leave the liberty of the press, and the trial by jury, in civil cases, to the mercy of their rulers – that the project is to burthen them with enormous taxes, in order to raise and maintain armies, for the purposes of ambition and arbitrary power – that this power is to be vested in an aristocratic senate, who will be either themselves the tyrants, or the support of tyranny, in a president, who will know how to manage them, so as to make that body at once the instrument and shield of his absolute authority – Even the Roman Emperors found it necessary to have a senate for this purpose.”

I confess I am somewhat in question as to Mr. Lee’s point. On the one hand, the senate was to be a tool of the individual states. The state legislatures would elect the senators. This would seem to me to have taken any influence the president might have over the selection of these individuals as sketchy at best. However, Mr. Lee’s worries have indeed manifested themselves much as he predicted. Today, we have a Democrat controlled senate prepared to do any and everything necessary to protect the tyrant who sits as president. They fall all over themselves to effect his socialist elitist policies. All to the detriment of the people, even those he ostensibly wants to help. Addicting one to the public teat is hardly to be considered as help.  Mr. Lee continues…

“We have seen with what cunning the power of impeachment is apparently given to the representatives of the people, but really to the senate, since, they advise these measures of government, which experience has shewn, are the general matters of impunity the executive officers will be sure of impeachment when they act in conformity to their will. Impeachment will therefore have no terrors, but for those who displease or oppose the senate.”

In other words, no matter how arrogant, elitist, self-serving or even criminal the president might be, as long as he or she has the will and backing of the senate they shall not fear the wrath of the people in the form of impeachment. Impeachment (indictment) by the people’s representatives rings hollow with no chance of conviction for crimes committed against the people.

In light of today’s situation, perhaps Mr. Lee and others of the same school of thought may have been on to something. While he and his friends might have been considered as anti-federalists in the time, it would appear to me that they were merely being prudent and wise.  It would also appear that the federal government has indeed turned into an essentially hostile and uncontrolled juggernaut bent on the destruction of liberty and prosperity. And we gave it all away through apathy and inattention. Shame on us. Do we deserve the efforts of those who would try to turn it all around? Probably not. But because they are who they are, they will try none the less. God bless them for their efforts.

And, once I've cooled off thinking about something else totally

different, I can sit back and laugh at these buffoons who allegedly

sware they run this country right into the early grave we americans (yes with a small "a") elected them or agreed with them, or blindly

went along with their ideas of Home Owners Association Politics.

Ha!

smart meters aren't so smart

Smart Meters are costing us money, privacy, and our health and safety. Smart Meters interfere with electrical devices, have burned out appliances, exploded and caught fire. People report sleep problems, head aches, ringing in the ears, heart problems, nausea, and other symptoms following installation. Smart Meters constantly transmit pulsed microwave radiation (RF), an environmental toxin and suspected carcinogen.More information:http://emfsafetynetwork.org/?page_id=872SKYROCKETING BILLS: Complaints about inordinate billing increases are reported from all over the US and Canada. One example:“My 11/9/09 bill: $168.03,my 12/9/09 bill: $366.20,my 1/11/10 bill: $1010.09,my 2/10/10 bill: $1053.23. My smart meter was installed sometime in Dec. 09. PG&E says its my fault. I am seeing others have had the same problem… I am wanting to sue. Price gouging. This is WRONG.” …..More billing and other commentshere: http://www.ucan.org/forum/forums/energy/sdg_e_disputes/billing_disputePRIVACY: "The ebb and flow of gas and electricity into your home contains surprisingly detailed information about your daily life. Energy usage data, measured moment by moment, allows the reconstruction of a household's activities: when people wake up, when they come home, when they go on vacation, and maybe even when they take a hot bath."http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/03/new-smart-meters-energy-use-put-privacy-riskSECURITY: “Computer-security researchers say new "smart" meters that are designed to help deliver electricity more efficiently also have flaws that could let hackers tamper with the power grid in previously impossible ways." “Smart Meters have Security Holes” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36055667/ns/technology_and_science-security/INTERFERENCE, BURNED OUT APPLIANCES AND FIRES: “They have shorted out appliances, they’ve caught fire, they interfere with garage door openers or security systems.” said Mark Toney of the Utility Reform Network.“We were getting up, getting ready for school and for work,” said Kari Pyrtle, a Danville resident. “All of the sudden the lights started flickering on and off and we hit the breaker box. Go outside and we could smell electrical burning. And we looked and our whole smart meter was turning black.”http://emfsafetynetwork.org/?page_id=1280Other complaints include loss of wireless internet: see more here: http://www.ucan.org/forum/forums/energy/sdg_e_disputes/billing_disputeHEALTH: People are reporting sleep problems, headaches, high pitched ringing in the ears, heart problems, nausea, and other symptoms after smart meters are installed. We are ALL threatened by the increase of microwaves from the unprecedented explosion of smart meters in our communities. Some groups are more vulnerable: children, pregnant women, the elderly, people with pace makers and other implanted devices, cancer patients, epileptics, people with compromised immune systems, and those with chemical and electrical sensitivity. http://emfsafetynetwork.org/?page_id=2292SCIENCE: Microwave radiation is known scientifically to have biological effects.International scientists recognize the unprecedented explosion of wireless technologies and call for the precautionary principle. Their statement includes, “We are concerned about the body of evidence that indicates that exposure to electromagnetic fields interferes with basic human biology and may increase the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.” http://www.icems.eu/docs/resolutions/Porto_Alegre_Resolution.pdfA new study by Sage Associates found, “The installation of wireless ‘smart meters’ in California can produce significantly high levels of radiofrequency radiation (RF) depending on many factors (location of meter(s) in relation to occupied or usable space, duty cycle or frequency of RF transmissions, reflection and re-radiation of RF, multiple meters at one location, collector meters, etc).” http://sagereports.com/California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) study leaves radiation health impacts unanswered/states “concern”Scientists and Doctors comment on CCST Study: http://emfsafetynetwork.org/?page_id=3676GREENWASHING: The ostensible rationale for the meters is "green washing." There is no reason to believe that many people will invest in the additional necessary equipment and consult their computers and then change behavior (using toasters at midnight instead of for breakfast, for example) to switch energy use to off peak times more than they would without the wireless meters. All-new transmitting appliances would be required for any vaunted home energy monitoring. Even if people switch energy use to off peak times, doing so would not reduce energy use. People who work at home or spend a lot of time at home during the day, or who could not shift their energy use to off-peak times, could suffer: retired, unemployed and people with disabilities could be hit hardest by the time-of-use pricing plan. (See the “AARP case against Smart Meters: They do not save energy.” http://transpacific.net/pipermail/smartmeters-berkeley/attachments/20100702/e890e0bf/attachment.pdfMore information:www.emfsafetynetwork.orgwww.eon3emfblog.netwww.refusesmartmeter.comwww.smartmeterdangers.orgwww.smartmetersafety.com/www.stopsmartmeters.wordpress.comhttp://www.teensturninggreen.org/get-...www.turn.orgMore: http://emfsafetynetwork.org/?page_id=649Options Remove ItemReport ItemBan UserSusan Brinchman 14 days agoA smart meter informational letter to share by email that you may also add your signature to, send to all your friends and email list.-------------------------Dear Friend,I am writing as the Founder and Director of the American Coalition Against Smart Meters and Smart Meter Dangers (www.smartmeterdangers.org), to inform you about a very dangerous technology being installed on all American homes and businesses by the local utilities. I ask that you write and lobby your local town, city, and county governments, governor, legislators, and state public utility commission to call a moratorium on any plans to install smart meters. If smart meters have been installed, insist that they be removed and replaced with analogue (non-digital, non-wireless meters). Consider organizing groups in your state to lobby for the above. It is vital to stop smart meters from destroying the public health and our environment.Take a moment to learn how the new utility meters are actually making many people very ill and causing grave risk to the rest. The problematic frequencies that the meters use, combined with environmental factors never taken into consideration, and the chronic exposures, with no health or safety testing ahead of time has led to a rapidly evolving public health disaster. Smart meters are being deployed in your county soon and within a short while, people will begin complaints of sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness, ear ringing, ear pain, and more. These meters are also a threat to those with metal implants, pacemakers, and insulin pumps, as the wireless frequency used can interfere with and cause more harm.I ask that you visit www.smartmeterdangers.org to learn what scientists and experts are really saying about the smart meters, and why the utility company propaganda isn't holding water. Smart meters do hurt people and animals, far more than cell phones. Smart meters don't reduce energy use and may actually increase it according to studies. Smart meters do cause fires and arcing of electricity. Smart meters do cause "dirty electricity". The studies presented by utility companies are insider reports, they are not independent studies. They are wrong. A review of the data shows that smart meters emit up to 160X more rf radiation than cell phones, for whole body exposures. Smart meters are on, day and night, with high levels of pulsed radiation being emitted all day long. Smart meters don't help, they hurt.I have experienced these meters first hand, I have two on my house (one at each end) and am tortured daily by these, with no help from the utility, even with a doctor note. I must avoid one end of the house and stay in the middle, sleeping on the couch. I cannot enter the master bedroom where the most problematic electric meter is. I have suffered shrill ringing in my ears that has led, in less than a year, to documented hearing loss in both ears. I have suffered pain every day from inflamed sinuses and headaches, sleeping problems and even skin cancer. I am not alone.Some other very disturbing facts:Smart meters do not help with global warming. Smart meters can use more energy, studies show. Smart meters often cost the customer more - utility bills often skyrocket after installation. Smart meters interfere with privacy, your every movement is tracked inside the home as these meters log exactly what you are doing. Smart meters are wireless and the system is easily hacked into. Smart meters are capable of making you very ill and even causing death - they can and do interfere with the signals of the heart, for instance. This means that they are like having a weapon on your home that can be turned on you by anyone in control, including terrorists. Smart meters can put our nation's security at risk, since they can be easily hacked, our nation's electricity will no longer be secure and could be remotely shut off. Once these meters are on your home or business, the utility will try very hard to keep them there, as they stand to make billions from raising rates during peak hours and charging you for them.We need your help to protect America from being experimented on with this new, deadly technology that is going to be placed on every building in our nation - unless we stop it from happening with our collective voices. I invite you to join our Coalition http://www.causes.com/causes/594297-a.... I invite you to learn about this new problem that will sicken millions of Americans, increase suffering, and create yet more of a public healthcare burden on our country. Smart meters are a poorly researched, deadly plan for America. Please learn more, and share this email and the information you learn with all your neighbors, family, and friends!JUST SAY NO TO SMART METERS! SEE WHAT CALIFORNIANS AND MAINE RESIDENTS ARE DOING TO SAY NO AND REPLICATE THESE IDEAS IN YOUR STATE.Sincerely,Susan Brinchman, Founder of American Coalition Against Smart Meters http://www.causes.com/causes/594297-a...Founder of Smart Meter Dangers, website: www.smartmeterdangers.org;Director of Center for School Mold Help (national 501c3 nonprofit) www.schoolmoldhelp.org;Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/No2SmartMeters; location: La Mesa, CA

Tonight on Tea Party Radio we covered a range of issues, as usual, about Obama's prevarications today, his vision to destroy this nation as it was founded, and on and on.  What came up, particularly from previous shows, was the international intent of globalists, going back well over 100 years, to wreak economic havoc on this nation from within, as well as from without our borders.  Global governance.  Global currency, NO free markets...communism writ large, one-world government...which if you listen to the man-child in chief...ARE his stated goals.  STATED goals.  You just have to listen a little, and realize you are listening to a man that is lying through his teeth, which is how he came to be where he is to begin with. 

SO--to try to fully understand the degree of, and the nature of what and who we are dealing with, I'm providing the following link that I recieved yesterday.  It's a long document and one that needs NOT to be ignored. 

It chilled me to the bone, and steels my resolve.  I would've posted it earlier, but I didn't have a chance to go through it until tonight.  Pay close attention to it, and what's been going on around us now.  This is just another front we have to deal with, as if there aren't enough. 

Special Thanks to Neal from Alabama for bringing this issue up to begin with some time ago...

"There does not exist an engine so corruptive of the government and so demoralizing of the nation as a public debt. It will bring on us more ruin at home than all the enemies from abroad..."  Thomas Jefferson, letter to Nathaniel Macon, 1821.

Couldn't have said it better myself...

So, people still insist on despeculating the Bible and its prophetic

utterances of the truths happening all around us every day and they're

getting worse all the time. Not relenting to the Clarion Call upon and

within their lives to wake up and smell the coffee pot of time and space

swinging and swaying all over the place like a drunken pendulum.

Still, the Word continues to go out over each and every door post in this

land we live and all turn their heads and cross their eyes at the truth

slapping them in the face nearly every fleeting moment.

When or will they wake up and know for a certainty and with truthful

obedience to the Creator that what He said is truth, it's happening all

around us. Step up to the plate, open the eyes to see, yearn the Heart

to know, and unstop their ears to hear what His Word has been telling

them the entire time.

Then most will say to me: Spell it out! Speak English! Give it to me straight!

And beloved, I'd like nothing better than to do just that. But, the other voices

at large speaking big fancy words, enticing all to entertain their little ungodly

motives, have left everyone blinded, deaf, dumb, and scared. To imagine just

one thing for ourselves we're given the old soft shoe of legalism from the pulpits

to the tarpits, and no-one longs to know the truth, embellishing it into another

brand of religiocity.

So, I wrote a book about it and hoping like all get out it becomes a hit. That the

mass buy it, put it to use within their lives and grow in the wisdom of God.

But God told me one day when in angst I'd continued calling unto Him for His

help to this very likelihood of my pursuit to become an average normal bread

winning success story on the face of life. He said: My book's been around for

how long? If they haven't read mine, what makes you think that they'll even

read yours?

Point taken!

So it goes. You want help, its there.

You want freedom and security, its there.

You want that your needs are met and success is real and achievable? It's there.

But; when is all this wanting going to stop and we all get busy and just Be That!?

He is not moved by needs, wants, wishes, hand outs nor ups.

God is moved by a Right Relationship with Him and our Obedience unto Him

to know His will, seek His Face, Hunger and Thirst for His Right Righteousness.

That's God for you. Know Him, get R' done!

Keep putting Him off, sucks to be you in eternity.

ETERNITY IS NOT A GAME!

Peace.

I said it once and will say it again, the republican party is dead.  We do not have any leader that has the guts to say this is.  The speaker caved on a horrible agreement on 2011 budget and has already caved on increeasing the national debit.  He will also cave for the 2012 budget because the republicans are affraid to be called bad people, that they do not care and will hurt seniors.  THe republican party to take a stand and take it to the american public and say, obama you have only what the debit limit is now and you can spend it on whatever you want, and let the democrats decide what they spend it on.  This would set the stage for real changes.

 

It was today that the imf, c ame out and stated that the usa is not being serious about the debit that they are allowing to increase and it is necessary now to make serious reductions to prevent a down grade of our debit and bankruptcy.  China has told us the samething last year, and they have been getting rid of dollars because they see what is happening.  The congress is not doing their job, the senate is not doing their job and the president only knows one thing and that to spend and buy votes.  He stated to day that the millionaires and billionaires should be willing to pay more.  How about his ceo friend from general electic that paid no corpoate taxes and got a multi billion dollar tax refvund from the government after making billions in profit.

I have stated before boehner needs to go and the american people are a point of saying neither party respents us anymore and will go to a third party and the past they did not have a chance but i think today is a different story.  The usa does not have a funding problem but rather a spending problem and until spending is stopped not will happen.

Others have told me to be patient and look at the big picture and wait until 2012, but i think after the republicans we sent to congress in 2011 has do nothing really serious about spending the people will send a message by voting for people running on the independent ticket.  I have been a republican for 57 years, however, today when i re register as a independent i will not longer support republicans or democrats because i am fed up.

THE GLOVES ARE OFF!

We, the enlightened people of the United States, returned the control of the House of Representatives to the Republicans in an effort to rein in some of the criminal increases in the federal spending spree. Guess what?  It did not happen. Instead our beloved speaker and his cronies “caved in” and agreed to cut a paltry few billion from a multi-trillion budget. They agreed to continue funding for abortions and Obama-Care. In other words, they totally and dismally failed to do as we instructed them to do. They no longer represent. They wheel and deal; they compromise; they posture and they rule. Or, they think they do.

I keep track, sort of, of the new additions to the Tea Party here in Texas. It is interesting to note a steady, constant increase in “membership”. This would seem to be in direct opposition to the pundit’s portrayal of the party. They see us as a flash in the pan, a movement in decline. In point of fact, we, or at least I, have been waiting to see what the powers that be would do with the limited success we handed to them in the last election. As I pretty much expected, they talk the talk but can’t walk the walk. They turned their collective backs on the people who supported their return to power. Admittedly, there were exceptions such as Rand Paul, Michele Bachmann, et al, but for the most part, the Republicans reverted to type and they blinked. So be it. They no longer have any claim to our loyalty or support. They have abandoned us, not the other way around. It is time for us to re-evaluate our mission and tactics.

I am a dues-paying member of the Constitution Party. I firmly and reverently agree with 99.9% of what they stand for. I would like nothing better than to see them send a host of like-minded individuals to Washington DC. Then, I come back to reality as it is. The Constitution Party doesn’t have the money and resources to field viable candidates. When one out of a thousand so-called party supporters actually pays their annual dues, this doesn’t leave them much to work with. The same holds true for the Tea Party. How many “associates” have actually committed to paying monthly dues so the Tea Party can really crank up its programs and make an even bigger splash than it already has? I doubt Dale can finance the effort any more than I could.  I fully realize that there are probably many who simply can’t make a monetary pledge. Older folks, like me, are frequently on very limited fixed incomes. We value and welcome their insight and help whatever form it may take. Our failure, in both organizations, is we have not fired up the younger generations who are working and probably can afford to help financially. Nothing is free. Success in the political arena is measured in dollars. Sad, but true. I am 68 years old. I had hoped to work toward retirement at some point. Now I know that isn’t to be. I am fortunate enough to have a very good job that pays me well. I will have to keep working until my wife can collect my life insurance. So be it. In the meantime, I will continue to pay dues to both groups in the hope it will make a difference. This isn’t an ego thing, it is a dire necessity.

OK, sorry about the sermon. I had to get that off my chest. I have firsthand experience of the frustration involved, so cut me some slack.

I am not one to post a claim to vast political insight, but it seems to even my limited intellect, that a merging of effort is called for here. In fact, it is going to be a requirement if we, collectively, are to accomplish anything useful and meaningful in the next couple of years. Beyond that, it won’t matter.

I don’t know how many people here actually read my blog. I have no real control over that. I know there are a few regular readers as they comment from time to time. I would hope they pass this particular rant on to others. I am actively asking for all members of the Texas Tea Party who want to escalate our efforts to the next level to contact me as soon as they can. I want to get the Texas Tea Party folks and the Constitution Party of Texas together to see what we can do together to put candidates in Austin. We have to start somewhere and here at home is a good place. With all the talk about Texas seceding we had better pay attention. Personally, the thought of President Rick Perry scares the Hell out of me. That possibility aside, we need to do everything we can to get our own house, Texas, in order. Only then can we spare the attention needed to fight the national battle, assuming it even matters at that point. Let’s put whatever differences we might have aside and combine our power and resources to make a real difference in our lives and the lives of those to yet to come. What are we going to leave them that we can be proud of? Obama-Care?  Abortion on demand?  A bankrupt country and citizenry?  Not me. I would rather croak trying to make a difference than to sit back and watch it all go to hell around me. Is there a danger making waves? Who knows? Who cares? I certainly don’t. I am too old and pissed off to care. Who will join me in making a big noise?

The following comments/snippets (1924) regarding the effect of the Press have been taken from the late British author Nesta H. Webster (24 August 1876 – 16 May 1960) writer, historian and theorist.

 

1. "More than eighty years ago a Frenchman endowed with extraordinary prophetic instinct foretold not only the danger that one day would come from Russia, but that the press would facilitate the destruction of civilization: 

'When our cosmopolitan democracy bearing its last fruits, shall have made of war a thing odious to whole populations, when the nations calling themselves the most civilized on earth shall have finished enervating themselves in their political debaucheries, .....the floodgates of the North will open on us once again, then we shall undergo a last invasion not of ignorant barbarians but of cunning and enlightened masters, more enlightened than ourselves, for they will have learnt from our own excesses how we can and must be governed.  It is not for nothing that Providence piles up so many inactive forces in the East of Europe.  One day the sleeping giant will arise and force will put an end to the reign of words.  In vain, then, distracted equality will call the old aristocracy to the help of liberty;  the weapon grasped again too late and wielded by hands too long inactive will have become powerless.  Society will perish for having trusted to words void of sense or contradictory; then the deceitful echoes of public opinion, the newspapers, wishing at all costs to keep their readers, will push (the world) to ruin if only to have something to relate for a month longer.  They will kill society to live upon its corpse'."

 

2. "To-day the newspapers, no longer the echoes of public opinion but its supreme directors, throw open their columns to every form of disintegrating doctrine and close them to arguments that could effectually arrest the forces of destruction.  What is the hidden influence behind the press, behind all the subversive movements going on around us?  Are there several Powers at work?  Or is there one Power, one invisible group directing all the rest.....?"

Webster (24 August 1876 – 16 May 1960) a writer, historian and theorist.  It seems to me, what with all the talk of Socialism during the past two years, obtaining a perspective from the past would shed some light on it.

 

1.  "While Bolshevism sets out to destroy Capitalism at a blow, Socialism prefers a more gradual process.  It is the difference between clubbing a man on the head and bleeding him to death - that is all."

 

2.  "The fact is that all Socialism leads to Communism in the long run and therefore to disaster.  The Bolshevist regime brought ruin and misery to Russia not because of the brutality of its methods, but because it was founded on the gigantic economic fallacy that industry can be carried on without private enterprise and personal initiative."

 

3.  "As a life-long Socialist has frequently observed to me, 'Socialism has never been a working-class movement; it was always of the middle or upper classes who sought to instill the principles of Socialism into the minds of working men'."

 

4.  "Socialism has only been able to make headway by borrowing the language of Anarchy in order to blast its way to power.  Socialism is thus essentially a system of deception devised by middle-class theorists and in no sense a popular creed."

 

5.  "The world-revolution is not a popular movement but a conspiracy to impose on the people a system directly opposed to their real demands and aspirations, a system which, moreover, has proved disastrous every time an attempt has been made to put it into practice."

 

6.  "For not only has Socialism never been known to succeed, but all its past failures are carefully kept dark by its exponents."

Could it work? Would we all go to jail? Has it been done before? This is the only thing, other than our vote, that has a direct impact.
