I’ve made a very good living as an analyst – I can often, intuitively, “fill in the puzzle” with fewer pieces on the table than my colleagues can.  I’m not always completely right, but I’m usually pretty close – close enough, and usually have a “mostly correct solution” that arrives much earlier in a developing situation than other people can manage.  I don’t like where I see things headed, the way that the puzzle is filling out.  This will be my last-ever post, do with it what you will - post it, quote it, or hit the delete key and discard it.

I’m packing up my family, guns and ammo, and heading out.  In a few more weeks, We’re going off-net, off-grid, and following behind friends that have already moved from the “big city” to the “back woods”.  Based on what I see coming, I have fully reconciled myself to the likelihood of being one of the very many people who will die in the coming upheaval.  However, I do not intend to die,  as a direct consequence of the upheaval itself, if I die.  If it is God’s will for my life to end thusly,my preference is to go out defending our Constitution, right down to my last bullet and my last breath, resisting the “neo-feudal stealth takeover” that’s happening right in plain sight, right before everyone’s eyes. 

With luck on both our parts, maybe I’ll see you on the other side of this thing.  Maybe I’ll somehow survive, to end up “just” being chipped and re-educated, released to shout “I love big brother!” at the daily prayer meetings.  Who can say – maybe, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary,  what’s coming won’t actually be so very bad.  But it makes me wonder if the “frog being boiled” has at least an instant of cognition of what’s being done to him, and could still – for at least a split second – jump out of the pot.

Perhaps I’m just suffering from a very overactive imagination and we’ll weather the storm.  However, my analyst’s instincts are screaming at me, telling me that this will end up being worse than even I can possibly imagine.  Instead of being reassuring, every news headline, every bit of leaked intelligence info, every piece of financial data I look at, and every word out of the mouths of idiotic, so-called “financial experts” arguing about which quarter in 2009 things will turn around – the second or the third - just makes it scream all the harder and louder. 

There’s a tension in my gut that just won’t let go – there is something happening here that wants to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.  How many others out there are finding themselves winding-up tighter and tighter without realizing why?  People with their fight-or-flight mechanisms gearing up for the perceived threat, leaving them feeling a bit tense and jittery, even if the threat perception is completely subconscious.  Perhaps they have just a small, vague feeling of uneasiness, or the slightest inkling of “something just does not seem right here” leaking through to their conscious minds? 

I firmly believe that, before this thing is finished, you will see Predators patrolling the skies of some of the flyover states, and that JDAMs will be used, on American soil, against American citizens.  I see maybe 250 million American casualties once this slips beyond what “they” are planning for and spins completely out of control.  There could easily be a billion casualties world wide, men and women that will die in various ways – one of the biggest killers being starvation.  Unlike in Jim’s book Patriots, Surviving the Coming Collapse, I don’t think survivors will be facing a disorganized mob of incompetent UN troops. 

I suggest that people do a little research about “Continuity of Government” and things like Presidential Directive 67 (before Google purges it all, as they are doing with all materials related to Cloward-Piven. And they are destroying cached materials from whitehouse.gov.  Google is your friend?  Not any more, they’ve become an active participant.)  If you choose to follow that line of investigationm it will lead you down some very interesting, and dangerous, paths to directives that allow the constitution to be suspended in an “emergency”, for any meaning of “emergency” our unconstitutionally elected, illegal immigrant from Keya leader King Barack Hussein would choose to give it.  And expect the agit-prop media to start calling the 22nd amendment outdated, something that needs to be repealed.  We need to crown him King for life.

Don’t let yourself be one of the casualties – take a good hard look around at what’s going on in the world, and think about things a little.  Best of luck to you, and Semper Fi !

And now,  after that wind up, the pitch itself….

Another day, yet another multi-billion dollar boondoggle that taxpayers are being shafted with. Another one of those "liberals’ wet-dream" economic-bottomless-pit-to-toss-money-into bill was passed this week with little or no publicity - Universal Healthcare for Children. How can we not do this? It’s for the children!
Oh. And did I mention that it also covers illegal immigrants, especially if they are expectant mothers. So, illegal immigrants and the poor, and nearly "all the children" now end up with health care, free!, courtesy of the United States government taxpayers.

This monstrosity goes far beyond even the Universal Supplemental coverage for children that was tried, and failed miserably, in Hawaii recently - the program was a such a money-sucking financial disaster that it nearly bankrupted the state of Hawaii after only a few months. Of course the bill that was just passed has a "projected" price tag of "only" 25 billion dollars, which will be raised by increasing the cigarette tax to $1 per pack. Of course whatever shortfall there is between the cigarette tax collections and the cost of this program will paid be for by all the rest of the taxpaying Americans.  If it goes the way of Hawaii, and Medicare, the cost will quickly run up into the tens-of-TRILLIONS of dollars, unless hospitals, drug companies, and the medial profession are nationalized.

This bill is wrong in so many ways that it’s nearly impossible to list them all. The funding for this is an illusion - nothing more than an absolute Marxist fantasy - packaged up under the "It’s for the children" label. Many of us already have sizable chunks of money deducted from our paychecks to pay for their own share of their own health care plans.  Now we (we being taxpayers) all get to bear the burden of additional taxes deducted to fund health care for illegal immigrants.

Someone please show me a place in our Constitution where the Federal government has any powers or duties assigned to them, other than regulating interstate commerce (FAIL! Two words: "Banking System") and guarding our borders (Another big FAIL! to that one)  I don’t see anything, anywhere giving them the power to socialize health care. It certainly doesn’t appear anywhere in the copy that I’m reading.

This bill really just shuffles money around - a redistribution of wealth. It taxes the poor, many of whom smoke, to provide insurance for the poor, many of whom don’t have health care coverage, and to provide insurance for illegals, many of whom do not pay taxes. (Right along with all those wealthy Democrats that seem to "forget" to do so.) So the poor get to kick in their fair share towards covering the illegals, and the government gets to secretly steal $2 from them, and make it look like they’re getting a $1 handout instead.
But anyone that thinks that money shuffle is going to pay for this would be mistaken. If you include the 20 million illegal immigrants this will end up covering, and another 11 million children - you are creating another unfunded liability of the same order of magnitude as Medicare - quite literally tens-of-TRILLIONS of dollars.  It’s not so much about the smoking tax, and it is just a smoke-screen to hide what’s really happening.

And it’s the first step towards universal implantation of the s-chip, which will end up being required to receive any of this coverage.

So far as I can tell, the plan at work here is straight from Saul Alinsky’s rules for Radicals - the Cloward-Piven playbook. Create an emergency, take control, normalize the situation. Here’s the only way my analyst sense can come up with  that would make what is going on anything other than outright insanity. It’s a plan to conquer the United States from the inside out.  (See Obama’s strategy of manufactured crisis and his entire network mapped out: http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967)

Since liberals would just as soon kill children via abortion as not, and knowing that conservatives attach great value to life and especially to children, the rallying cry they will use to drum up conservative support for these measures will likely be something like "It’s for the children!" Yes, conservatives would truly be evil if they didn’t support something that was "For The Children" (never mind that we don’t. Do as we SAY you should be doing, not as we are actually doing.)

Where is your Christianity? (Never mind that we don’t "do God" because we have a new Messiah right here, on Earth, in the White House. We just use your religion against you - actually we are actively working to destroy your hateful Christian religion that doesn’t support progressive ideas like homosexual marriage, or pedophilia).  Have any of you taken a look at what your children are bring taught in school these days?  Why are third and fourth graders being tasked to write stories about how we should accept Johnny – just because he has two daddies or two mommies doesn’t make him different than us – it’s actually BETTER.

Where are your MORALS? (Never mind that we don’t to have any you’d understand, we tossed the old ones onto the scrap pile in the corners, next to other things like “ethics” and “scruples”. Our current morals are just too progressive and nuanced for you backwards little people to understand.) Where is your sense of CHARITY - “towards the CHILDREN?” (Never mind that we could care less about you, or your children, which we would have preferred to seen aborted, as cruelly as possible, say, via live partial birth type abortions. Screw you and yours. We just want your money, and your labor, like any good slave.)

1.) Banks are already in an “emergency”. They’ll be nationalized.  The plan is to destroy the safety nets so people have nothing to fall back on in an economic emergency (if you hear about plans to make it illegal for private citizens to own gold again, you’ll know the worst is coming soon.).  It includes pushing Social Security to the brink of destruction (check!) - there are many older American dependent on that to survive, and millions more that will be, over the next few years. Destroy the value of retirement accounts (nearly done, check!), nationalize whatever is left. Of course all of this is "For the good of senior citizens and of your retirement. Oh. And for the children!"

2.) Load up the economy with so much pork that it completely collapses - the more pork, the faster it happens. The existing currency, the US Dollar, will implode, after it collapses it will need to be replaced by something the central bank has control of, most likely by something equivalent to the Euro (probably called something like the NorthAmero?)

3.) Make as many people beholden to the government as possible - 20 million illegal immigrants is a nice sized chunk of voting stock (rhymes with “live stock”.). Give handouts to everyone possible - buying votes in the unlikely case we actually make it through to another Presidential election. Be sure that you have at least 65% of the population receiving at least some government aid, and at least 40% completely dependent on government support in the form of subsidized mortgages, or something like it. Be certain that everyone knows that if they "vote the wrong way" in the next election they’ll lose that support, which, "Is for the children!"

4.) Re-distribute as much money as possible from taxpayers to the 40% of the people that don’t pay taxes. No need to exclude wealthy Democrats from this part. The point is to reduce the ability of the average taxpayer to survive an emergency, and make sure that 40% of the population is completely dependent on handouts in some way. "It’s all for the good of the Children"

5.) Nationalize, nationalize, nationalize.  The “bad bank” idea really is useless, its just a way to nationalize large hunks of American real estate under the pretext of legitimately “stimulating the economy”.  Get this through your heads – there IS NO ECONOMY LEFT to stimulate.  Manufacturing has been outsourced.  All that is left is the “Service Economy”, and an army of burger flippers from McDonalds, and all the grocery store clerks and pizza deliver drivers in existance won’t fix a single bridge, repair a single pothole in the road, or produce anything of value that can be exported for world trade.  We’ve been reduced to being a banana republic, and we can’t even grow bananas here.  We’re the first nation on the planet ever to have been deliberately and systematically looted of wealth and de-constructed.

All of those steps seem to be progressing nicely.  They seem to all be converging around mid 2009. Here’s my take on what might come next.

Next there should be some major disaster, probably involving slowdowns or interruptions in food production and distribution. It will require the use of the military at home, or of a rapidly-expanded "civilian force" of thugs with loyalties to the government rather than the constitution, to feed the people.  The government is claimed to be the hero of another (artificial and manufactured) crisis. (NB. People freezing to death in Kentucky and Oklahoma doesn’t count as an emergency - they’re Republicans.)  Martial law might need to be ordered in various places to keep the order. (It will become “normalized”…)

Disarm the people. Creeping gun control isn’t going to be fast enough. The next round of "Assault Weapon" bans are likely to contain provisions for confiscation of illegal weapons. As more and more people become directly dependent on the government for support, the definition of an "Assault Rifle" will, presumably, be rapidly expanded to covering "black rifles", to covering everything with magazines holding more than 5 rounds, then to covering anything "semi-automatic", and eventually to anything and everything whatsoever. Maybe calibers like .22 short will be permitted, maybe not. "It’s for the safety of the Children!"

When the piled up pork finally manages to collapse the economy and render the dollars that ARE left completely worthless - well, people will say or do nearly anything to avoid having their families starve to death. A full 70% of the country will support "broad and sweeping" measures aimed at "preserving government continuity" in the face of the collapse. It doesn’t matter if they do support it or not, actually. Congress will simply pass what it likes to, regardless – they will consider themselves as being “above the law”.  And, anyway, "It’s for the Children".

Some states might actually grow a pair, and issue declarations of secession. But the realization of what is going on is likely to come too late, and be done too hastily and without much co-ordination. The military will be used to completely crush any dissent by these freedom fighters "domestic terrorists". Predators will roam the skies, gifting known resistance groups and retreats with JDAMs just as quickly as they can carry them back and forth.  Dissenting state capitals and other major cities in those states, and especially any known survival retreats or militia groups in those states, will have the equivalent of the surge applied to them. After a few public executions of state and city officials, and some forced confessions - repeated over and over again by the media, the remaining resistance will collapse.

Our beloved leader from Kenya, King Barack Hussein, will be triumphantly acknowledged as the true “Re-incarnation of Abraham Lincoln” that he truly is – winner of the new civil war, and liberator of the poor people.   Christianity will officially be declared as being a "religion of hate and violence", and its practice outlawed and banned. Islam, being the one and only true "religion of peace" that it is, will become the new state-ordered religion. Submit or die - via public beheading.

The United States of America, once a proud Republic and leader of the free world, and the American people that live there, will have been conquered by traitors from within.
