"Convicted felon Robert Creamer is now credited for writing 628 pages of 'Obamacare' while he was in prison. Creamer is a senior Democratic operative who defrauded banks in order to keep his Marxist/Communist community organization (Citizen Action) afloat by engaging in 16 counts of banking and tax fraud. Creamer's book is entitled, "Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win".

Many left-wingers say that Creamer's book has inspired them in their progressive fight to turn America into socialist Europe. [It] has received support and garnered an endorsement from...former White House Senior Adviser, David Axelrod, [who] described Creamer's book as a "blueprint" for future progressive victories. Creamer has stated that in order to impose socialist healthcare on an unwilling nation, it is necessary to deceive the people.

Creamer is the husband of Marxist congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (see photo), an Illinois Democrat who demands a "single payer" healthcare delivery system. Creamer's book calls for the "democratization of wealth", and the "progressive control of governments around the world". Creamer says that Democrats could win a permanent majority in Congress "by passing a national health care bill, turning more people into wards of government...and by giving amnesty to all illegals, thereby creating, virtually overnight, a large new constituency of Democratic voters".

With over half of the country on some form of welfare already, Creamer's plan has "progressed" at a very rapid pace. Creamer counseled Democrats that to win complete control of America, they must "not just generate understanding, but emotion--fear, revulsion, anger, disgust". He adds, "If the Democrats continue to stand firmly for immigrant rights, the issue will define immigrants' voting loyalties for a generation. If we're successful, we'll have a gigantic block of 'progressive' votes over the next 15 years, a block that could be decisive in the battle for the future."

It seems that America is presently in the late stages of its "Weimar Republic" period, both economically and culturally, led by the same ideological forces. If the pattern holds, there will be an eventual backlash against the corruption and decadence, along with the rise of a totalitarian regime which promises to sweep it all away. The infrastructure needed to bypass representative government and enforce martial law is already in place. All that remains is a suitable trigger event for the rise of the charismatic "man on a white horse".

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy...followed by a dictatorship."

-- Alexander Tytler, 18th century

"Shortly after a congressional committee grilled her over problems related to the new [Obamacare] health insurance website, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was in Memphis, Tennessee flanked by defenders...[who had] invited Sebelius here to 'encourage participation' in an education and enrollment event... U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander called for her resignation prior to her visit, and released a statement saying, "The secretary is always welcome in Tennessee, but her time would be better spent in Washington fixing the Obamacare website."

At the event, Tennessee State Senator Brian Kelsey presented Sebelius with a copy of the how-to book 'Websites for Dummies' (see photo).

-- Memphis Daily News

Could it be that this system was designed to fail in order to make way for a pre-planned "crisis solution"?

"Ms. Sebelius oversaw numerous costly and disastrous government website projects during her six-year [Kansas] Governorship (2003-2009), including a failed update of the Department of Labor's program to provide unemployment pay and other services and similar updates pertaining to the Department of Administration and the state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) services...

"We pretty much expected HealthCare.gov to fail, because she has a pattern of failing on these big initiatives. We thought that was why she was not nominated originally," Schwab said. Whether or not President Obama knew about Sebelius' website track record when he put her in charge of overseeing the Obamacare website remains unclear."

-- Daily Caller

The Obamacare website and database system has been under development by CGI Federal and other contractors for the past 3 years at a cost of over $1 BILLION dollars. The President of the company, Donna Ryan, is "a graduate of Queen's University, Canada, holding both a Bachelors of Arts degree and a High School Teachers Certificate. She also received a Certificate in computer programming (!) from the Cambridge Institute in Boston". The VP, Toni Townes-Whitley, was a classmate of Obama's wife and a former Peace Corps volunteer who "promotes women's advancement". Apparently, the company has just the sort of credentials needed to land multi-million dollar, no-bid government contracts for complex IT projects, despite a track record of incompetence including a recent failure in Canada.

Another government subcontractor with similar qualifications, Quality Software Services, has now been given the lead role to try and repair the dysfunctional system they helped create. It was recently acquired by insurance giant UnitedHealth, whose board member Antony Welters is "a top campaign bundler for Obama and frequent White House guest".

But software problems and cronyism are not the only issue. This deceptive insurance scam has already caused millions of people to lose their existing coverage as insurance companies cancel lower-cost, "non-compliant" individual policies and small employers drop their group plans. Obama promised that "you can keep your plan" in dozens of public appearances (see video) before the misnamed "Affordable Care Act" was passed. This bait-and-switch program will result in a massive cost increase for anyone who is not already below the poverty line and thereby entitled to receive another government handout -- like the Obama voters in Memphis, Tennessee now being "encouraged to participate" at taxpayer expense.

"All these are yet more signs that Obamacare's socialist-inspired health care utopia is turning out to be a total nightmare... Employers have already begun slashing workforce hours in order to avoid the employer mandates [and penalties], and individuals who need health insurance are starting to freak out over the reality that their rates are going to double or triple once Obamacare fully kicks in... The idea is to destroy the private sector economy and make everyone completely dependent on the government for their food, incomes, housing, education and health care. Only then will the collectivist utopia be fully realized..."

-- Mike Adams article

UPDATE: CGI Federal has recently been dismissed as prime contractor for the flawed Obamacare registration system -- after collecting some $300 million without actually producing anything of value. Socialism is wonderful, isn't it comrades?

Talk show host Adam Kokesh has announced an ill-conceived plan for an armed protest march into Washington D.C. on July 4th:

"On the morning of July 4, 2013, Independence Day, we will muster at the National Cemetery...to march across the Memorial Bridge, down Independence Avenue, around the Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the White House, then peacefully return to Virginia across the Memorial Bridge. This is an act of civil disobedience, not a permitted event. We will march with rifles loaded and slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated...This will be a non-violent event, unless the government chooses to make it violent. Should we meet physical resistance, we will peacefully turn back... If this page gets to 10,000 supporters by June 1st, and we have the critical mass necessary to pull this off (1,000 actual attendees) we will march. Please spread the word, share this event, and invite all your friends."

Anyone foolish enough to sign up for this has just identified himself as a potential "domestic terrorist" who deserves to have his weapons confiscated. In the unlikely event that the march actually proceeds, the participants should expect to be rounded up, arrested, and convicted of various Federal crimes. Be sure to "invite all your friends"!

Does anyone think that the marchers will simply be allowed to "peacefully retreat" after such a provocation? The security forces could just close off their escape route and arrest them after they cross into Federal territory. Or an agent provocateur in the crowd could fire a few shots, providing the excuse to mow down several of them as a warning to others. Remember the unarmed protester shot in the head at point-blank range a few months ago?

Attempting to prove that his followers "will not be intimidated" will have exactly the opposite effect on the general public. If someone "chooses to make it violent" as predicted, it will set off another month-long feeding frenzy for the corporate media sharks. The quivering masses glued to their TV sets will cry out for protection from the imagined threat, and the gun-grabbing legislators will be happy to oblige.

What else does he hope to achieve with this otherwise futile exercise? Who benefits?

Adam Kokesh is listed as a "talent" by Same Side Entertainment, which promises to "make your liberty event an experience to remember". According to their profile, he has a degree in psychology, spent one semester with a psych warfare unit in Iraq, was discharged from the military for a minor weapons offense, and has since become a professional agitator. Which "same side" is he on?

Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing, and self-promoting "libertarians" who wrap themselves in the flag.

The blurb for his podcast says: "We cover the headlines, what you can do about them, and whatever other crazy bullshit Adam feels like talking about". This stunt falls into the latter category, and hopefully most people will be smart enough to avoid stepping into it with both feet.

UPDATE: Mr. Kokesh has now upped the ante by calling for marches across the country to "demand" that state legislatures dissolve the Federal government:

"The American Revolutionary Army [sic] will march on each state capital to demand that the governors of these 50 states immediately initiate the process of an orderly dissolution of the Federal government... While there is risk in drastic action, the greater danger lies in allowing this government to continue unchallenged."

This is just a harmless symbolic protest -- as long as they leave the guns at home. Even so, be careful what you wish for. Suppose that a majority of the states actually agreed to hold a Constitutional Convention and dissolve the existing Federal government. What sort of collectivist tyranny would replace it? In a decadent, corrupt society entirely dependent on government handouts, a libertarian revolution is impossible.

UPDATE: It appears that Mr. Kokesh is either mentally disturbed or an agent working for the gun grabbers (or both). On July 4th, despite his failed plans for a protest march and with no visible supporters, he posted a YouTube video of himself loading a shotgun in front of the U.S. Capitol and making inflammatory remarks. A few days later, the police kicked in his door and arrested him.

UPDATE: After spending 4 months in jail, Kokesh was sentenced to two years probation for his publicity stunt, which he called "an error in judgement".

Same story, different decade. The people lost hope, they voted for change, and they became slaves.

"In 1938, Austria was in deep depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25 percent inflation and 25 percent bank loan interest rates. Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily...

We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933. We had been told that they didn't have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler. After the election, German officials were appointed, and like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service...

When the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately established child care centers. You could take your children ages four weeks old to school age and leave them there around-the-clock, seven days a week, under the total care of the government. The state raised a whole generation of children...

The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the [religious symbols] replaced by Hitler's picture hanging next to a Nazi flag... Sunday became National Youth Day with compulsory attendance... The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports...

In 1939, the war started and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you didn't work, you didn't get a ration card, and if you didn't have a card, you starved to death.

Soon after this, the draft was implemented. It was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps... After the labor corps, they were not discharged but were used in the front lines...

After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything. When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8:00, 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full...

Our tax rates went up to 80 percent of our income... All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing...

My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables. Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners... He couldn't meet all the demands. Soon, he went out of business...

Next came gun registration... Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily...

[There was] no more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up...

Totalitarianism didn't come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria. Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. By then, our only weapons were broom handles."

-- Kitty Werthmann article

All socialist systems are essentially identical, operating on the principle of "oligarchical collectivism". For background, see "Wall St. and the Rise of Hitler" by Antony Sutton.

There has been another tragic mass shooting in a "gun-free zone" committed by another spoiled loser on psychotropic drugs, followed by the predictable hysteria and cries from the elitist anti-gun crowd (led by Feinstein, Schumer, Lieberman, Lautenberg, Bloomberg, et al) to strip law abiding citizens of their weapons.

To breakup this recurring pattern, we should start by banning the use of psychotropic drugs on children. We should restore discipline, moral values, and high standards in the schools. We should restrict the violent programming spewed out by the Hollywood studios. We should keep the mentally disturbed off the streets. But don't hold your breath waiting for the Jewish liberals to address any of those issues.

Feinstein, a wealthy hypocrite who packs a pistol in her purse for her own self-defense, thinks that the commoners should just trust the government instead. That policy was a failure in Russia, comrade Feinstein, and it won't work here either. The Bolsheviks confiscated the weapons, then proceeded to exterminate 60 million disarmed citizens who didn't go along with their program. Is that what you and your friends really want?

Every law-abiding adult should be trained in the use of firearms, and encouraged to carry a weapon for defense of the community, just as the American Founders envisioned. Even ONE armed adult at the school might have prevented this tragedy; why not half a dozen? Any psychopath who picks up a gun, or a knife, or a baseball bat and enters any public place with intent to harm others needs to know that he will be met with deadly force and stopped.

"When seconds count, the police are only minutes away" as Ms. Feinstein obviously knows. The government employees show up to count the bodies and fill out the paperwork, if they show up at all.

"Just recently, the city attorney of San Bernardino, California told citizens to "lock their doors and load their guns" because there is not enough money to pay for 'adequate' police protection any longer. The murder rate in San Bernardino is up 50 percent this year, but the city is dealing with bankruptcy and has been forced to lay off 80 police officers... In Oakland, burglaries are up 43 percent so far this year [and] more than 11,000 homes, cars or businesses have been broken into... [In Chicago,] there are only about 200 police officers assigned...to handle the estimated 100,000 gang members living in the city."

-- Economic Collapse Blog

In every major U.S. city, gang members are allowed to roam the streets preying on any easy target they can find. There were over 500 murders and 2500 shootings in Chicago alone this year, with similar percentages in Detroit and Oakland. They all voted for Obama and his friends, including Rahm Emanuel, who give them free food, free housing, free education, free health care, and free cell phones -- at taxpayer expense. Now they want to make sure nobody can shoot back.

Then we see Mr. "Peace Prize" Obama, the warmonger of Afghanistan and Libya, crying his crocodile tears on the TV, making political hay out of a local tragedy. What a contemptible performance. How many thousands have been killed by his drone attacks and his mercenaries over the past 4 years? And how many killed in Gaza with weapons provided by Obama and the Jewish liberals? Where are the tears for those victims? Hypocrites! Liars! Murderers!

"U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sustained a concussion after 'becoming dehydrated' and fainting, and will no longer testify Thursday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya...

Senator Kerry...insisted that given her condition, she could not and should not appear on Thursday as previously planned...and that the nation's best interests [sic] are served by the report and hearings proceeding as scheduled with senior officials appearing in her place."

-- CNN article

What a shame; I guess the stress was just too much. Or maybe she had a few too many at that wild party the other night. You know, "dehydration"? Either way, it was ever so thoughtful of senator Kerry to excuse her. Thank goodness she won't have to testify under oath and perjure herself, which might cause embarassment in 2016.

Maybe Ambassador Stevens could fill in for her at the hearing. After all, he's a senior official with intimate knowledge of the situation. Oh, wait a minute...he was killed, wasn't he?

See our previous comments regarding this incident, brought about by the policies of Ms. Clinton and her fellow champions of "democracy" in the middle east.

"When democracy is rapidly imposed in traditional societies not exposed to the progressive expansion of civil rights and the gradual emergence of the rule of law, it is likely to precipitate intensified conflict, with mutually intolerant extremes colliding in violence... The most fervent advocates of 'democracy' for the Middle East know this, but see in the promotion of democracy an expedient tool for the eventual imposition of force. Democracy becomes a subversive tool for destabilizing the status quo, leading to an armed intervention that is justified retroactively by the argument that the democratic experiment has failed..."

-- "Second Chance", Zbigniew Brzezinski, 2007

UPDATE: Sources report that John Kerry, a long-time supporter of Zionism and friend of Bibi Netanyahu, has been tapped to replace Clinton as Secretary of State. Kerry is also a member of the secretive Skull and Bones society and was instrumental in the election of his fellow Bonesman, George Bush, back in 2004. For background, see "America's Secret Establishment" by Antony Sutton.

"The [Obama] White House and the [Clinton] State Department watched, in real time from an overhead drone, live video of the attack and did nothing. They did nothing to help those Americans under attack, those Americans who ended up dead. No action was taken, no troops deployed to aid those under siege in the 7 hour attack. That's right, the attack lasted 7 hours... The President lied about the motivation for the attack, lied about his knowledge of the attack, and lied to cover up all of it."

-- New York Daily News

On Sep 11, Ambassador Stevens paid the ultimate price for Hillary Clinton's obscene laughter mocking the rape and murder of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Too bad she wasn't there to share the laughter in person. Why did Clinton and Obama ignore the repeated requests for enhanced security?

"To make its involvement in Libya seem successful, the Obama administration has pursued a policy of 'normalization' of relations with Libya. This has meant scaling down the U.S. security forces in and around the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Libya... [The team] assigned to protect the ambassador and his staff was pulled out in August, just a month before the attacks. This was done over the protests of the leader of the team, the State Department regional security director and Ambassador Stevens himself."

-- Washington Times

"The August 15 cable from Ambassador Christopher Stevens to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, marked 'secret', was sent by the Benghazi mission and outlined both the threats and the insufficiencies to U.S. security in Libya. The mission called for an "emergency meeting" to discuss the rapidly eroding situation on the ground:

"RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound."

-- Heritage Foundation

"Emails...indicated that the White House had been informed almost immediately that a terror group had taken responsibility for the attack in Benghazi, and Fox News reported this morning that the two former Navy SEALs, Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, had been refused in requests for assistance they had made from the CIA annex. Jake Tapper quoted [CIA director] Petraeus this afternoon denying that the CIA was responsible for the refusal: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate."

-- Brietbart

"During a private fundraiser earlier this year, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a small group of wealthy contributors what he truly thinks of all the voters who support President Barack Obama. He dismissed them as freeloaders who pay no taxes, who don't assume responsibility for their lives, and who think government should take care of them:

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president [Obama] no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are 'entitled' to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement, and the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what... My job is not to worry about those people [Obama voters]; I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives...

When you say, "Are you disappointed that his policies haven't worked?" they say yes. And because they voted for him, they don't want to be told that they were wrong, that he's a bad guy, that he did bad things, that he's corrupt... Fifty percent of kids coming out of school can't get a job... Fifty percent of the kids in high school in our 50 largest cities won't [even] graduate... What are they gonna do?"

-- Mother Jones Magazine

Romney is being attacked for calling a spade a spade, by the defenders of the bankrupt socialist system. Is America going to be a nation of workers and producers, or a nation of bureaucrats and freeloaders? That is the question.

"An estimated 45 million Americans received food stamps in 2011, at a cost of $78 billion. That's a twofold increase from just five years ago when 26 million people received benefits at a cost of $33 billion... The 2002 Farm Bill expanded eligibility to non-citizens, increased benefits for families with more children, adjusted benefits for inflation and made it easier to enroll."

-- Washington Examiner

"Food stamps for able-bodied adults without dependents were limited to three months in a 36-month period unless the participant in the program 'works at least 20 hours a week...' [but] President Obama suspended that rule when he signed his economic stimulus legislation into law, and the number of these adults on food stamps doubled, from 1.9 million in 2008 to 3.9 million in 2010

-- Washington Examiner

Here are some YouTube videos celebrating the hedonistic, dysfunctional entitlement culture and the magic EBT debit card. For these people, adolescence becomes permanent: no education, no job skills, no self-discipline required. Someone else does the work and pays the bills. Obama even gives them free cell phones!

The cost also includes the bloated bureaucracy required to service these "clients", starting with the failed public schools, the human services offices, the police forces, and the prisons. Throw in another half trillion for the annual interest payment and an additional trillion for the cost of socialist regulations.

This debt-based game cannot continue forever. What will happen in the "50 largest cities" when the $16 TRILLION dollar federal debt pyramid finally implodes?

UPDATE: Obama appeared on a popular TV show and dodged the question about how his administration has added $6,000,000,000,000 to the national debt in less than 4 years.

"[Jewish] Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson is on the brink of reaching $71 million in 'contributions' thus far this election cycle...in support of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's [failed] presidential bid and for GOP nominee Mitt Romney... He and his spouse recently donated [another] $10 million to Restore Our Future, a pro- Romney super-PAC, hitting $36 million in contributions so far..."

-- The Hill

Mitt Romney is the designated nominee* for the Zionist Republican Jewish Coalition, where Adelson is a director. Note that Adelson is also a major financial backer of Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party in Israel.

See our recent comments on this topic and follow the links.

UPDATE: Romney will be hosting a fund raising dinner in Jerusalem, Israel to curry favor with his Zionist supporters:

"[In mid July], presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, will hold controversial fundraisers in London and Jerusalem as part of his international itinerary... The ticket price in Jerusalem is $50,000 per couple which exceeds the federal limit for contributions to US presidential campaigns... It is not known whether the controversial casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson or his wife, Miriam Ochsorn, will attend. The Adelson's are reported to have lavished over $70 million of their casino profits on the GOP in this presidential election cycle."

-- Global Research

* Nominee: "a person or organization named to act on behalf of someone else, especially to conceal the identity of the nominator"

"Newt Gingrich ends his White House dream today with his political committee facing a mountain of debts -- owing about $4 million to scores of businesses and campaign workers around the country who fear they will never get paid. Campaign watchdogs said the size of Gingrich's debt is extraordinary -- and could have been avoided if the candidate and his team had been more disciplined...

Campaign debts can haunt unsuccessful candidates for years, symbols of failure and futility they are unable to forget. But losing candidates like Gingrich who hold no office face the biggest challenge in trying to retire their debts. The reason is simple: They are in no position to help donors or influence public policy."
