Obama increasingly comes across as devious and dishonest.
Wall Street Journal March 30, 2012
Something's happening to President Obama's relationship with those who are inclined not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him. His supporters would say, "Nothing new there," but actually I think there is. I'm referring to the broad, stable, nonradical, non-birther right. Among them the level of dislike for the president has ratcheted up sharply the past few months.
It's not due to the election, and it's not because the Republican candidates are so compelling and making such brilliant cases against him. That, actually, isn't happening.
What is happening is that the president is coming across more and more as a trimmer, as an operator who's not operating in good faith. This is hardening positions and leading to increased political bitterness. And it's his fault, too. As an increase in polarization is a bad thing, it's a big fault.
The shift started on Jan. 20, with the mandate that agencies of the Catholic Church would have to provide birth-control services the church finds morally repugnant. The public reaction? "You're kidding me. That's not just bad judgment and a lack of civic tact, it's not even constitutional!" Faced with the blowback, the president offered a so-called accommodation that even its supporters recognized as devious. Not ill-advised, devious. Then his operatives flooded the airwaves with dishonest—not wrongheaded, dishonest—charges that those who defend the church's religious liberties are trying to take away your contraceptives.
What a sour taste this all left. How shocking it was, including for those in the church who'd been in touch with the administration and were murmuring about having been misled.
Events of just the past 10 days have contributed to the shift. There was the open-mic conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in which Mr. Obama pleaded for "space" and said he will have "more flexibility" in his negotiations once the election is over and those pesky voters have done their thing. On tape it looked so bush-league, so faux-sophisticated. When he knew he'd been caught, the president tried to laugh it off by comically covering a mic in a following meeting. It was all so . . . creepy.
NAACP condemns call for escalated civil disobedience
SANFORD, Fla. -
The Rev. Al Sharpton said Friday his National Action Network will "move to the next level" if George Zimmerman is not arrested in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Sharpton called for an escalation in peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions, although he did not say what those sanctions might be.
Turner Clayton, the Seminole County chapter president of the NAACP, reacted immediately to Sharpton's warning, saying, "We hope that the citizens of Sanford will govern themselves accordingly. We are not calling for any sanctions, against any business or anyone else. And, of course, what Rev. Sharpton does, that's strictly the [National] Action Network. We can't condone that part of the conversation, if that's what he said." Read the entire article
Appearing on Liberty Talk Radio, Dr. Jerome Corsi explains his latest article on wnd.com“Postman: Ayers family put ‘foreigner’ Obama through school” - how Postman Allen Hulton came to know President Obama as the foreign exchange student the Ayers family put through college. Dr. Corsi also discusses the current investigation conducted by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, what information we could be seeing next, and how President Obama is the greatest deception in American history.

… Matters are becoming especially nasty in US politics as we approach a seminal election.
The country is irreconcilably divided between hard-core liberals and conservatives. Fortunately, there are enough independents that neither hard-core can muster a majority without modifying, to various degrees, their views. At least that is the way that elections worked before this one.
President Obama sees within his reach his dream of transforming the country. Unfortunately for Obama, his failures are apparent to growing numbers of citizens, many of whom supported him the first time around and are now suffering “buyers remorse.”
He is so close to what he planned, yet it is slipping away and his desperation is showing. Apparently in an effort to prevent this from happening, he is willing to employ his community organizer skills on a national level. These Marxist-Leninist-Alinsky tools were not planned to be unveiled until after his re-election. Now that this occurrence is at risk, he appears to be willing to use them as tools for re-election. This strategy reflects either desperation or misjudgment.
What do I mean by Marxist-Leninist-Alinsky tools? Quite simply, they are practical tools designed to accomplish an objective without regard to the legality or morality of the means. Obama has committed all out to an “ends justifies the means” campaign. Here, for example, are instructions from Lenin on power:
Comrades! The insurrection of five kulak districts should be pitilessly suppressed. …
1. Hang (and make sure that the hanging takes place in full view of the people) no fewer than one hundred known landlords, rich men, bloodsuckers.
2. Publish their names.
3. Seize all their grain from them.
4. Designate hostages in accordance with yesterday’s telegram.
Do it in such a fashion that for hundreds of kilometres around the people might see, tremble, know, shout: “they are strangling, and will strangle to death, the bloodsucking kulaks”.
Telegraph receipt and implementation.
Yours, Lenin.
This telegraph appeared in an article by James Lewis on American Thinker. Mr. Lewis in his article likens current Democrat behavior to that of Lenin. He does not suggest that hanging is a part of that strategy, although other thug-like behavior is. When one’s pedigree includes the likes of Marx, Alinsky, Ayers and others of that ilk, thug behavior as a part of politics is the norm.
The bizarre and nearly unprecedented recent political behavior on the part of the Obama Administration results from the recognition that the election is slipping away. Some of the headwinds Mr. Obama faces are the following:
- The economy is not improving (nor will it before the election). - Government stimulus is increasingly seen as political favoritism and a waste of taxpayer money. - Government continues to spend money that it doesn’t have, leading the nation closer to bankruptcy. - Voters understand that this spending has mortgaged the future of their children and grandchildren and may destroy the country. - The centerpiece of Obama’s economic program, green energy initiatives, produced no new energy and a track record of failing companies. It was nothing more than political payoffs to Democrat supporters. - Gas prices are at record levels and expected to soar upward from here while Obama plays politics with an important pipeline. - President Obama’s Democrat-controlled Senate refused to pass his requested tax hikes on oil companies. - The Supreme Court has exposed Obama’s crowning domestic achievement, ObamaCare, for its legal absurdities (which does not mean they will overrule it). The CBO estimates have more than doubled, casting doubt on the integrity of the President’s cost estimates. - President Obama’s proposed budget did not garner one Democrat vote in the House.
Mr. Obama has no achievement to run on and many negatives to overcome. Furthermore, his once perceived mystical qualities are no more. Most of what he has done has been a failure. Everything he has touched has become worse.
There is no way to intellectually defend his failed policies, but then that holds for much of liberalism in general. Liberalism is not based on reason but on “caring.” If you are not liberal, then you must be mean and uncaring. But what happens when you have been in charge and gotten all of your programs put in place and they don’t work? Under such circumstances it is hard to blame others for the problems. That is precisely the quandary in which Obama finds himself.
He cannot be re-elected running on his pitiful record. There is no way to defend it theoretically or empirically. “Caring” is not an asset when incompetence prevails. The only strategy left is the Leninist-Marxist politics of destruction and coercion. Hence, we see the beginnings of classic mob politics, madness passing off as idealist causes or movements. We saw it when Obama tacitly or overtly (take your pick) approved of the Occupy Wall Street mobs. Before that we saw the antagonism surface when Obama inserted himself on the side of Henry Louis Gates against the Boston Police Department even when he had no knowledge of what had transpired. Now we a similar insertion into the tragedy of the Trayvon Martin shooting.
The facts of this case were not known when the great ambulance chasers of the race industry (Sharpton and Jackson) began to spin their version of what had happened. (As more information leaks out, this duo appears to be as unreliable as ever.) That President Obama involved himself and encouraged this racial unrest is downright shameful and dangerous. He jumped in despite any knowledge of what had happened, yet he remained conspicuously silent when the Black Panthers placed a bounty on Zimmerman, the alleged shooter.
Race-baiting by the country’s premier race pimps who pose as reverends is bad enough. It is disgusting and dangerous when the similar taking of sides occurs from the highest office in the land. The President is expected to adhere to the law and not encourage what appears to be misguided vigilante justice.
The position of President Obama is unprecedented. It demonstrates extreme misjudgment or an attempt to capitalize politically by pandering to a set of his constituents. Regardless, it is not a good sign for the country. Doug Ross offers the best advice for the country:
“All Americans — citizens of every race, creed, religion and color — should reject the Democrat Party and its vicious marketing of racial hatred.”
Protein Wisdom opines on Obama’s blatant practice of identity politics:
That our President and members of his party have not only allowed the racial demagoguery to continue, but have in fact participated in it (and intend to extend its rhetorical reach), should be a chilling reminder that — even in the most sophisticated societies, under the stewardship of the most enlightened laws — the controls we place on government are, in the end, merely words. Once an anti-foundationalist ideological movement like the progressive left has decided it no longer has to abide by legal restraints should the context arise where they are “morally bound” to “resist” laws — that is, once they declare that law is man-made and thus contingent and not binding in particular contexts of their choosing — there is nothing left but force and the will to power, which become the de facto ruling conditions of society (albeit, these will be disguised and qualified with propaganda attempts to hide their baser imulses under the rubric of “social justice” and “civil disobedience, ” etc.).
In a society truly governed by the rule of law, Congressmen and Justice Department officials would be calling for a respect of due process and reinforcing the integrity of states and local law enforcement. Instead, we have members of Congress — and members of the media, like MSNBC race pimp and host Al Sharpton — essentially trying to lead a lynch mob based around public pressure, scapegoating, rank racialist politics, and the kind of bullying typical of identity politics reinforced by the social taboos long set in place by adepts of political correctness.
What we are witnessing is truly outrageous. And it is disgusting. And it has been cheerily manufactured by those who presume to rule over us by promoting various forms of tribalism to keep as at each others’ throats.
The President’s re-election effort, despite compliant support from the media and the Federal Reserve, appears to be in serious trouble. To most, the re-election is all he is interested in and he will stop at nothing in that pursuit. This situation is increasingly recognized by Democrats who see him as willing to sacrifice his own party to achieve his personal objectives. Look for more Democrats to decide the best way to protect their own careers is to distance themselves from this failed president.
It appears as though mob tactics may be the only viable strategy for this President. When one is unable to defend one’s record either theoretically or empirically, what else is left? You can try to buy votes by playing Santa Claus but the government is out of money and that would only anger the electorate more. In this position, you either recognize that you have failed or you resort to guerrilla politics. President Obama’s ego and arrogance does not allow the former, so brace yourself for a “scorched earth” election unlike anything seen in our lifetimes.
Protein Wisdom describes the point which the country has reached:
We either fight back or we don’t. But the days of sitting quiet and hoping it all blows over are no longer a legitimate option. Because that maneuver has led to a kind of tacit complicity, and we have, as a nation, reached the tipping point where, if we don’t push back now, we will find ourselves living in democratic despotism — without the recourse of a stable set of laws to save us from the will of a political consensus born of propaganda, misinformation, intellectual laziness, and the deconstruction of every last tenet of classical liberalism institutionalized at our founding and framing.
This election will likely be a preview of what it will be like to live in a Banana Republic with no Rule of Law.
Former Black Panther Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) made quite a fuss when he donned a “hoodie” during a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives until he was escorted out. At the time, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) “applauded his courage” for doing so.
Meanwhile, back home in Rush’s district, two men wearing hooded sweatshirts, or “hoodies,” were the shooters in an incident that left one dead and five injured.
In fact, during a span of six-hours Thursday night, 13 people were shot, leaving two dead in Chicago. It would seem it takes more courage to simply walk down the street in Rush’s district than it does to wear a hooded sweatshirt in the House of Representatives by way of a stunt in a bizarre tribute to a young man shot and killed in Florida during a shooting incident still under investigation.
The uniformed solider who endorsed Ron Paul during a rally in Iowa in January has been officially reprimanded by the US Army.
After being cut short during a CNN interview on January 3, Reserve Corporal Jesse Thorsen, who has served two tours in Afghanistan and was due to head back for a third, was invited on to the stage by Paul himself to address Paul’s cheering supporters.
“If there’s any man out there that’s had a vision out there, it’s definitely [Ron Paul],” Thorsen said. “His foreign policy is by far, hands down better than any other candidate’s out there, and I’m sure you all know that. We don’t need to be picking fights overseas and I think everybody else knows that, too.”
Someone within the military infrastructure did not take kindly to Thorsen’s remarks, and a move was immediately set in motion to punish the 10-year veteran for his words.
Detractors began pointing to Department of Defense Directive 1344.10 which states that active duty troops wearing a uniform are expected to avoid activities that “imply official sponsorship, approval, or endorsement” of political figures.
As military news site Stars and Stripes reports, Army reserve officials said Thursday that Thorsen’s actions clearly violated Defense Department rules, and that a letter of reprimand has been placed in his personnel file.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio talks to Infowars about the media blackout surrounding the Obama birth certificate issue.
The Obama records which have not been released include; Passport records, Obama kindergarten records, Punahou School records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, University of Chicago scholarly articles, Illinois State Bar Association records, Illinois State Senate records/schedules (said to be lost), Medical records, Obama/Dunham marriage license, Obama/Dunham divorce documents, Soetoro/Dunham marriage license, Adoption records and of course the long-form Certificate of Live Birth.
State Representative Carl Seel, who introduced the bill, was joined by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, State Senator Lori Klein, and others in support of the bill. Important new information was revealed during the news conference including a request by Sheriff Joe Arpaio to the current head of the Selective Service Board to investigate the criminal forgery committed in the case of Barack Obama’s Selective Service registration. In addtion, Carl Seel reveals some of the resistance that other Republicans are creating to stop the bill from even heading to a vote.
The bill will require Barack Obama, or any candidate seeking to be on the Arizona ballot, to certify eligibility for the office they are seeking. This will essentially require Barack Obama to certify his eligibility if he wants to be on the ballot this year in Arizona. This could potentially be a game-changing piece of legislation.
Police video of Trayvon Martin's killer the 'smoking gun,' lawyer says
Published March 29, 2012
SANFORD, Fla. – A lawyer for Trayvon Martin's parents said Wednesday new video showing the teen's killer George Zimmerman after their deadly clash, but without the head injuries he claims were inflicted upon him in the scuffle, was "the smoking gun" for those seeking to have him arrested.
The CCTV footage, released Wednesday, shows Zimmerman climbing handcuffed out of a police car and engaging with officers after he killed Martin, 17, on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla.
Not obviously visible are the broken, bloody nose and head wound that he claimed he sustained from being punched by Martin and having his head slammed into the sidewalk during their scuffle.
Zimmerman has said he shot Martin in self-defense after being attacked -- a claim backed by some witnesses, but contested by others.
Lawyer Benjamin Crump, appearing with Martin's mother Sybrina Fulton and father Tracy Martin on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" Wednesday, said the video showed "there was some kind of conspiracy to sweep Trayvon Martin's death under the rug."
Earlier today, outgoing Treasury Secretary and tax challenged part-time pathological liar (see here) Tim Geithner said that any worries of the US debt ceiling are misplaced, and that at best such an event would occur "late in the year" (and to think the August 2011 extended $16.394 trillion debt ceiling was supposed to last well into 2013).
Naturally, coming from Geithner, it meant this statement was a flat out lief the second it left his mouth, which is why we decided to do our own analysis of just when the latest and greatest debt ceiling would be breached. The answer is that at the current rate of debt issuance, which incidentally is going to accelerate sharply due to the recent extension of the payroll tax cuts which will require an incremental $100-150 billion total debt to be funded, and extrapolating future issuance solely on historical patterns,the US debt ceiling D-Day will be September 14, 2012. This means that there will be just over 6 weeks for the GOP to hijack each and every presidential debate before the November election with just this topic.
Because there will hardly be anything more humiliating for Obama than to have to defend his platform even as the country is once again past the verge of insolvency, and forced to "commingle" retirement funds to keep Treasury operations running. Which incidentally is just as we predicted would happen when we explained why theGOP fast shelved the payroll tax debate so rapidly. It was nothing but a prelude to precisely this. Because once it is raised, and it will be raised of course, next up will be yet another ratings downgrade by S&P and this time, Moody's as well. All of which will most likely happen before November.
Most of us don’t know – in many respects, we already live in Panem, the authoritarian high-tech dictatorship described in The Hunger Games. The film shows us what we have to look forward to if we don’t turn things around.
It’s interesting The Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins gave her dystopian nation an appropriate name – Panem, from the Latin phrase “Panem et Circenses” which means “Bread and Circuses.”
It was the basic Roman recipe for the required amusement and distraction of the masses existing within a military dictatorship.
All revolutionary movements, all popular wars have been nourished by such propaganda of agitation.-Propaganda:The formation of men's attitudes

"Trayvon Martin". One need only say his name, or tweet it, and a frenzy of arguments, rebuttals and attacks either for or against him are sure to follow.
The death of Trayvon Martin, a young 17 year old African-American has turned the nation into a giant battleground pitting White America against Black America. The media has been at every rally and interviewed everyone and anyone who has decided to have a say in this tragic event. While the dust is still settling, people in the media, the government, and in every chat room across the nation have been transformed into the judge, jury and executioner of Zimmerman, while people are also marching in protests wearing hoodies, and carrying skittles to show their support for the young Trayvon who is no longer alive due to the incident which is still at this time under investigation.
Recently, Representative Bobby Rush appeared on the House floor donning a grey hoodie and sunglasses to stand in support of Trayvon Martin and his family.
The New Black Panther Party has been interviewed by CNN, claiming they could arrest Zimmerman, the alleged shooter, saying they are authorized by the Constitution of the United States. In the same interview however, the Panther Leader stated that the black people of this country were not subject to the white man's law. Subtle threats toward Zimmerman were alluded to by the leader of the Black Panther Party as well during the interview, but no condemnation by Rights groups, the President, or the White house has come out against the group as of this time.
Also coming out of the woodwork has been (or should I say 'has-beens') Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to get some more airtime in their fleeting careers as 'activists'. Meanwhile the Obama administration is looking into this incident to see if they can declare it a "Hate Crime". This is the report in part from The New American:
As race-hatred profiteers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson whip up a frenzy of hysteria over a hypothetical racial element to the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida last month, the Obama administration’s Justice Department is reportedly investigating whether or not shooter George Zimmerman can be federally prosecuted for a “hate crime.” And experts fear the situation is spiraling quickly out of control.
Even though more recent developments in the case have revealed that Zimmerman may be in fact justified in his action of defending himself from an assault by Trayvon, it seems this event will be used by the liberals, and the administration to carry out another tool of the tyrant called 'propaganda of agitation'.
Propaganda of Agitation: A tool of Tyrants
Anyone who is not mesmerized by the hypnotic effects of the 'boob tube' can plainly see that America is headed down the slippery slope of economic decline, increasing debt, inflation, poverty, war, etc. Most Americans however, are sidetracked with their jobs, bills and TV and sports, etc. and are therefore oblivious to the crisis building up once again. Even if they are somewhat aware of events taking place around the world, they are only aware of the soundbite news clips fed them via the radio and TV news that is controlled and specifically chosen to keep them in a false paradigm of "recovery" and " security" believing that the Federal Reserve, White House, and the TSA have everything under control because Lame stream media says so.
This is how the elites like it.
However, every so often the cat starts to get out of the bag, so to speak, and the masses start to become aware of their surroundings as the drunkenness of media fantasy is replaced with the sobering hangover of everyday reality as gas and food prices climb and wealth decreases in front of their eyes.
This is where the propaganda of agitation agenda can be a great tool to the tyrant. As the people start to become focused and aware of their surroundings, they start to see that the 'Emporer is not wearing clothes' and so there must be a diversion to keep this from happening.
Usually the "sheeple" are only made aware of the King's nakedness when someone who can plainly see it, points it out to others. This person then tends to become the 'enemy of the king' and therefore must be demonized, declared crazy, or put to eternal sleep (was this the case with Breitbart?) in order to keep the people from paying attention to the man behind the curtain, if you will.
Propaganda of agitation... generally attracts all the attention. It is most often subversive propaganda and has the stamp of opposition. It is led by a party seeking to destroy the government or the established order. It seeks rebellion or war. It has always had a place in the course of history. All revolutionary movements, all popular wars have been nourished by such propaganda of agitation. [1]
Governments can use this form of propaganda to rally the masses' approval in illegal wars that would otherwise be abhorant to the people and otherwise unacceptable to a congress that would normally frown upon the cost of such an undertaking.
For example, when a government wants to galvanize energies to mobilize the entire nation for war, it will use a propaganda of agitation. At that moment the subversion is aimed at the enemy, whose strength must be destroyed by psychological as well as physical means, and whose force must be overcome by the vigor of one's own nation. [1]
We can look back to the false flag event of 9/11 and the aftermath bombardment of media propaganda aimed at the masses in order to create hatred and hysteria against the 'evildoers' who were among the 'Axis of Evil'. The lies told by our government, and supported by the brainwashing media did the trick that time and we sent our children to die in a foreign country like good pawns for the globalists.
Tyrants in history such as Mao, Lenin and Hitler used this form of propaganda to make sweeping reforms while crushing any obstacles in their "great leap forward".
Governments also employ this propaganda of agitation when, after having been installed in power, they want to pursue a revolutionary course of action. Thus Lenin, having installed the Soviets, organized the agitprops and developed the long campaign of agitation in Russia to conquer resistance and crush the Kulaks. In such a case , subversion aims at the resistance of a segment or a class, and an internal enemy is chosen for attack.
Similarly, most of Hitler's propaganda was propaganda of agitation. Hitler could work his sweeping social and economic transformations only by constant agitation, by overexcitement, by straining energies to the utmost. Nazism grew by successive waves of feverish enthusiasm and thus attained its revolutionary objectives.
Finally, the great campaigns in China were precisely propaganda of agitation. Only such propaganda could produce those "great leaps forward" The system of the communes was accepted only because of propaganda of agitation which unleashed simultaneously physical action by the population and a change in their behavior, by subverting habits, customs, and beliefs that were obstacles to the "great leaps forward".. [1]
Obama and his administration currently are facing the whole birth certificate issue once again in full force. They thought they killed that issue with the release of the phony, 'long form' version of his birth certificate, but apparently not. They attempted to label "birthers' as racists, crazy, and also as conspiracy theorists, but with no success.
I believe this is one of the reasons for clinging to the recent shooting and death of a young black man. This gives the administration, the President, and the Left a reason and a catalyst to cause division and make conservatives, whites, and patriots all 'enemies of the state' and in turn rally support from blacks and liberal groups for the coming election where the "father" of Trayvon (Obama said in a speech: "if I had a son, He'd look like Trayvon")can once again be elected to continue transforming America.
The race card, as it is called, has been the tool used by our current administration since the globalist puppet Obama has been S-elected. I believe Obama was selected by the Elites because he is multi -ethnic and therefore appeals in a universal way to the masses. On the other hand, attacks against his policies can be redirected through agitating propaganda to make his opposition look racist.
In the Hegelian Dialectic, conflict is used to bring about change or resolution. That is why we are seeing so much ochestrated and controlled opposition between Democrat and Republican, Black and White, Liberal and Conservative, etc. The Oligarchs want to keep the masses stirred up in a frenzy of confusion and hate while they move us toward a tyrannical "Brave New World", step by step.
It is time to turn our TVs off and our minds on again. The real issue at jeopardy is the life of our Country, the freedom of our children, and the morality of humanity in general.
Think about these words:
THE LIMITS OF TYRANTS ARE PRESCRIBED BY THE ENDURANCE OF THOSE WHOM THEY OPPRESS!!
Please wake up before it's too late.
