Over the past 10 years, observations within America have me disheartened. It started with the apology tour of Obama. Our military was in discord, our police were demoralized. Illegal aliens crossing our borders by foot, train and even airplanes. What ever happened to the Oath of Office to protect and defend the United States of America against all enemies, both foreign and domestic? Muslim Brotherhood within the Obama Administration. A Communist outed as part of the Obama Administration.
Now President Trump, trying to right the ship of America, is being attacked on a daily basis by the compliant biased mass media. The Democrat Party is NOT the same as the one in the 1950’s. Progressivism (Gramsci style Communism) has usurped the Democrat Party. The progressive ideology has grown like a metastatic cancer. It has invaded the halls of Congress. It tried, but failed to garner the White House in 2016.
We no longer are able to speak WITH one another; we have become a society that speaks AT one another. No discussion of events without name calling or attacks. Public discourse has become argumentative cacaphony. Progressives think that their voice should be the only one allowed in public discourse.
Freedoms being eroded. Claims the Constitution is outdated. Christianity under attack. Where is the PRIDE of America? Remember the day after September 11, 2001. America banded together; flew flags across our nation in support of our country against a foreign enemy. Now our flag being burned religiously by groups. Belief in the First Amendment makes me realize they are allowed to do such as Freedom of Speech. However, the same fanatic groups attack Christians for their religious belief that just so happens to be included in the First Amendment. Good for thee, but no for me?
Witnessing the High School students attempting to tell America what is good for them and that our Rights shouldn’t matter? Really? Personally, the last thing I would allow my High School Child to do is to tell me what I can or cannot do. I consider America my HOME.
Through Marxist infiltration in the public school system, we now produce the children in the image of Lenin/Stalin. Conservatives are being chided on campus. Conservative voices are being muted. Is it time to take back our schools?
Activists are being trained in places like the Midwest Academy in Chicago. The Industrial Area Foundation (founded by Alinsky). Goaded by Obama’s own website of Organizing for America. Has America had enough?
Elections are coming this year in America. It is not a Civil War in terms you may think about. It WILL be Americanism vs. Communism. The war will take place at the ballot box. Fair and LEGAL elections should be at the forefront. Putin’s plan of creating discord and discontent within America is working. Will America succumb to the Communist sedition against us, or will we STAND for our country?
When the farmer in Iowa plowing his field suddenly and unexpectedly hears a noise and feels the ground shake from missiles being fired from a hidden underground silo in retaliation against Russia, perhaps then Americans will wake up to the litany of lies we’ve been fed by our leaders and a complicit media. Even then, I suspect that most Americans will continue to believe the lies of the U.S. leaders and succumb to revisionist history that has little-to-nothing to do with the truth.
We are at the precipice of World War III, yet the average American has no idea. The average American is oblivious to the fact that America has been captured from within, its leadership is traitorous, and the media complicit in all aspects of seditious criminality. Many of those who might have a level of understanding however, don’t know the real story about how we arrived at this point in time. For both, we have our elected officials in Washington to thank…or to blame… or perhaps congratulate, depending upon which agenda you’re pushing.
In the event you missed the news, twenty-six cruise missiles were fired into Syria by Russian warships yesterday as Syrian ground troops launch an offensive against ISIS and U.S., NATO and Saudi-backed anti-Assad terrorists. Who didn’t see this coming?
Three years ago to the day – October 8, 2012, I wroteLemmings…On the precipice of World War III, explaining that Barack Hussein Obama, in his capacity as the man selected for the Oval Office, was overseeing a private war in the Middle East at the direction of the Saudis. What was taking place in Syria at that time was the result of the Obama-Clinton parallel CIA/State Department’s “Fast & Furious, Libyan Edition.” To Hillary Clinton’s cackling delight, Gaddafi was deposed and killed, and Libya was being used as a supply depot for weapons funneled to Syria via Turkey and other areas in close proximity. The primary staging area in Libya was Benghazi, and specifically, the CIA complex that was attacked on September 11, 2012.
The actions by this rogue element within the U.S. government, many who are still in power and continue to hold positions of influence, led to the attack on the CIA compound that caused the murder of a U.S. Ambassador and three others. Although the attack was conducted by proxy groups, those groups were acting on behalf of Russia. Accordingly, the United States did not respond, as doing so would have certainly widened the conflict and exposed the largest weapons running operation in the Middle East. Stevens, having a rolodex full of unsavory contacts including those he met while on assignment in Syria, reportedly oversaw a portion of this operation, according to my contacts in the intelligence venue.
To fully understand the perilous situation the Renegade-in-Chief has created for us as a nation, it is critical to understand the truth regarding how we arrived here. That, of course is something that Obama, Clinton and their facilitators cannot have exposed at any cost. To understand Russia’s response in Syria, the current situation must be viewed through the larger lens of past events for accurate historical context, and those events include Benghazi. It is for this reason that the American people will never get the truth about Benghazi or the mysterious Clinton e-mails, as any truthful revelation would expose the criminally traitorous activities of this unlawful administration.
How deep the lies
The lies, however, go much deeper than most reasonable people can comprehend, as we are not dealing with reasonable or rational people. We do not have truth in the media, as all media outlets are controlled by only six corporations that act as chokepoints for truth. The large media conglomerates dutifully report only what they are told to report and nothing more. Included in this pattern of control are those media pundits, including most who are identified as conservative, and most who host talk shows and television panels.
The above, therefore, explains why the background of Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama II, the Renegade-in-Chief was declared “off-limits” to discussion by even those “conservative” pundits. Anyone out of compliance was (and still is) publicly ridiculed. This complete takeover is overtly obvious even in Hollywood, where many night-time talk show hosts often mock and ridicule anyone daring to question the bona-fides and allegiance of the Communist Muslim occupant of the White House.
I stress the above in this report as it is relevant even today, for the events we are watching unfold could have been prevented with a true conservative effort and media pundits who could have chosen to place the fate of their nation over their careers. They chose their paycheck over the truth, and bowed to their corporate handlers as deeply as Obama bowed to his handler, the king of Saudi Arabia.
We have grown to expect as much from the toxic liberal “progressive” Marxists, but find it difficult to accept such from the self-proclaimed conservative media and pundits. Depicted as intellectual talking heads, they never seem to break through the thin veneer of lies that covers the truth. They entertain rather than inform, which appeals to the average, non-thinking American. They offer just enough “us versus them,” play-by-play action of the long-dead partisan paradigm to satisfy those addicted to mainstream news.
What every thinking American needs to understand is that the lies that have been and continue to be perpetuated by those in elected positions emanate from members of both political parties, for most members of both parties have chosen to take their assigned seats at the globalists’ table. It is easy to see how others may have been blackmailed into taking their assigned seats, especially after drinking from the fountain of power and wealth within the beltway. That assertion also applies to certain members of the Supreme Court, a body that has become an activist arm of the globalists.
We did not, however, arrive here overnight. The subjugation of America’s sovereignty was an incremental process. It seems that the tactics of the Fabian Socialists won out over those of the Communists. Their goals are the same, only their approach is different. The ultimate objective is nearly complete, and each of us has a front seat to the next act of this Orwellian play. From Woodrow Wilson to the Clinton cabal to the globalists currently in power, Americans have been led into servitude. Sadly, many Americans are enjoying their servitude, or have no idea that they are being held captive. Feel free to call it Stockholm syndrome, but dare not call it “battered wife syndrome,” for this phrase has been deemed off limits by the thought police.
Does it matter to you if you are free to do as you please? To shop? To talk online or on the phone? To spend your money as you wish? To have a job of your choice? To be able to get into your vehicle and travel as you please? To worship as a Christian without repercussion from our government? To be able to defend yourself against criminals?
As an Independent voter, I trust NO ONE, especially the MSMs to give you the TRUTH. The propaganda is evident, on display both on cable/satellite as well as on the internet. The art of Dialectic Process is evident. Only the subverted individual would assume everything they see and hear is factual. If you have a peaked interest in a topic, research it, vet it. Do not trust one internet site to give you what you what to see or hear. Go to at least two or three places to confirm or deny what you are being fed on a daily basis. Be an individual; not a sheep.
Is the Black Lives Matter a movement that is coupled with Black Liberation Theology? Or have agitators/activists infiltrated the original message to a more incited movement?
IF you and/or your family is confronted by criminality, would YOU be able to defend yourself and your loved ones? A rape whistle won’t work, a call to 9-11 won’t be able to help for a period of time ( you are the FIRST responder), yelling or screaming won’t work…then what? Responsibility comes with gun ownership; training and safety first.
Gun Control — No matter what your opinion, you need to see this
Capitalism vs Communism – Freedom versus Oppression
==================
At this moment, this very second, you have the freedom to make choices for your own individual needs and wants; what would you face if the government has strict control over you?
To see the emptiness of liberal/Democrat logic, try the following at the next dinner party.
If I vote for Ben Carson, am I still guilty of being a racist, considering the way you hurled that accusation at me when I told you that Obama was a very bad choice because of his ideology and his acquaintances?
If I vote for Carly Fiorina, am I still guilty of a war on women, given that this woman has broken through the glass ceiling, overcome a deadly disease, and still come out fighting?
If you insist that the federal government fund Planned Parenthood even after the uncovering of illegal sales of aborted body parts, I am confused. Wasn’t Obamacare supposed to provide universal coverage for all Americans? Why, then, does the federal government need to continue funding Planned Parenthood?
If you vote for Bernie Sanders, will your house in Chappaqua be available for the government’s use if Sanders decides you have no right to private property anymore? As Thomas Sowell has opined, “what exactly is [the] fair share of what someone else has worked for?”
For the environmentalists who maintain that we have no right to use trees to produce paper towels for bathroom use, did you know that “dryers use electricity which produces a ‘carbon footprint’ that liberals link to global warming”?
By the way, “if 11 million illegal aliens are supposed to assist the U.S. economy, why didn’t they help the Mexican economy before they left?”
Why aren’t you pounding the table extolling the virtues of Obamacare now that premiums have skyrocketed, Americans cannot keep their doctors, and small businesses are threatened with $35,500 in IRS fines for helping employees with health costs?
Explain the compelling reason why we returned five known terrorists for one questionable American soldier, but we cannot get back kidnapped Americans from the Iranians.
As a pacifist, you extol the virtues of military reductions. How, then, should we defend ourselves against ISIS when they promise to invade our shores and conquer us?
Explain Mr. Obama’s immigration policy, where people “can illegally enter and work for decades without filing income tax returns and then as an extra bonus have the IRS allow them to qualify for up to $35,000 in tax refunds.”
Since racism is a charge that Democrats constantly use, how do you justify that Al Sharpton, a well-known race-baiter and anti-Semite, is an advisor to Obama?
If “Obamacare is so great, why do Americans need a law to make them buy it and if they don’t comply, they are fined?”
How do you explain that “in the United Kingdom where there is a total gun ban they have the second highest overall crime rate in the European Union whereas the U.S. is not even in the top ten countries in the world for violent crime”? These are 2011 FBI Crime Statistics.
Dinesh D’Souza wonders, as do I, “why liberal tolerance extends to Marxists, transsexuals, and Islamic radicals – but not to conservatives or Christians[.]”
Please explain why it is fair for Congress and the president to exempt themselves from Obamacare, but then force it upon the American people.
John Hayward has described “ObamaCare [as] so well-written its text must be ignored, so healthy it’s kept alive with exec orders, so affordable everyone needs subsidies.”
Another logic puzzle for you: “People who say thugs is a racist expression are making the false assumption that all thugs are black.” How do you rationalize this?
It is thought that, with American general opinion that our country has undergone some stark changes; good and bad.
The FIRST shoe (President Obama’s first term in office):
I wanted to believe that our POTUS had good intentions, be it one that I do not agree with, when it comes to “hope” and “change”. Speeches, promises to the Democrat base Barack Obama made, starting in 2007, have not come to fruition for the masses that elected him. Excuses, deflected blame, non-ownership are sent out in “messages” via the internet, media and print. I want to believe Barack Obama has only good intentions for our country; that he truly cares about our country. But, when witnessing his trying to be Joe Cool with interviews by a woman with green lipstick and bathes in a bathtub of milk and Fruit Loops®, I become truly sick.
The healthcare plan, the Affordable Care Act(ACA) is anything but affordable. Many Americans are still not covered with a healthcare plan or have had their employee based plans changed in detrimental ways; decreased coverage and deductibles so high that monthly choices by Americans now creates a family budget nightmare. People are stillusing Emergency Rooms for medical care, so where is the benefit? With continuing costs for medical care, the wages made by workers now eats into family budgets. Full-time employment has become gold to some and envied by others. Companies have had to make adjustments in staff, staff hours and have even shuttered their small businesses due to constraints placed upon them by this Act. Many families have had to adjust by taking on one or two additional part time jobs to make ends meet. The ones that suffer most from this? The children. Lack of consistency of parental value in their homes, parental absence due to work hours, and parental discipline is creating a lost generation of children. Is this the plan of the Obama Administration? After all we hear “Don’t listen to your parents” from Al Gore. Melissa Perry states that parents do not own their children; the government does. Are we living in a nightmare? Is THIS what Americans believe are values?
What Barack Obama wants Americans to believe is that our economy is growing, the outlook for America is great, but anyone with common sense and truly sees what is happening in financial markets, have a different opinion of our financial future. Borrowing money from foreign countries, printing fake (not gold standard backed) money will eventually become worthless. How? When China, Russia and Japan change from using the U.S. dollar as a trading value. China and Russia are already in talks to trade using a different currency. So, the U.S. dollar of today may become the devalued Monopoly® money of tomorrow. Then what? Raising the debt ceiling is NOT the answer, raising the minimum wage is NOT the answer. The onslaught of illegal aliens crossing our border will just exacerbate this problem. The illegals will NOT improve our economy; they will take from our economy through Social Security benefits, Medicaid benefits, Welfare benefits; your once six hundred dollar per month EBT will then go to three hundred dollars. How can one with a sane mind think this is good? Now ADD the fact we, as Americans are now taking in refugees from Syria, Somalia, etc. to ADD to the burden on our social system. Now I ask you again: Do you really believe our financial system is healthy? Remember my fellow Americans: Whatever the government giveth; the government can also take away. Example: Venezuela. Then what? A new and devastating Great Depression? Bread lines. Soup lines. Toilet paper lines. “Socialism only works until you run out of other people’s money” ~ Margaret Thatcher.
Our president is utilizing his cabinet as an enforcement mechanism; not for the benefit of America, but against its prowess, its strength its abilities. How? Through the IRS, the Obama Administration has been trying to silence anyone that opposes or has a different view on what Barack Obama envisions as his America. The Tea Party, Conservative groups, faith based charities (Nuns of the Poor) to name a few. Strangulating small businesses with taxation through the ACA. Remember the IRS is the enforcer of compliance with the Affordable Care Act.
Through the EPA, the Obama Administration has put a strangle hold on farmers, crops and meat production. New regulations on water sources including streams and water consumption (think Gov. Brown of California). California is in dire straights now. WHY? Because of the Delta Smelt; a feeder fish they think is endangered. Billions of gallons of fresh water diverted to save this small fish. Is this sanity? Restraints on farmers to grow crops due to “climate change”; a Ponzi scheme of taking from those that produce to those that are idle. India and China, the worst global polluters refuse to comply; they said they would, but did they? No. Farms are shuttering; the cost of food for your family is increasing. So via new regulations of food and water through the EPA, the food source in America is withering and faces drying up. Then what?
The lack of support for Christians by the Obama Administration is disconcerting. Our country was founded upon the Judeo-Christian foundation. Morality and virtue are at an all time low. Pornography, sodomy and lack of principles are now the “entertainment” of the majority in America. Gangs of children roaming our streets seeking entertainment through the “knockout” game or now the “Put ‘Em in a Coffin” game of vandalizing cars. Entertainment through video games, X rated cinema, etc. The tribal support of looting, destruction of businesses and the mortal wounding of once thriving cities due to incitement of those seeking “justice.” Fomenting and abetting this by sending Eric Holder to the area. Now, the incident has been settled, yet some continue to push “racism.”
The Obama Administration has militarized all his Cabinet positions, including the FDA and Social Security offices. Millions spent in guns and ammo to these departments in the last few years. Why? The divisiveness of our country without any cohesive speech or actions against this by our President. Why? In his most recent speech, Barack Obama said Christians need to be “more loving.” Christians butchered by Islamists across the globe and yet Christians need to be more loving? Really?
America was warned about the creeping of Communism within the framework of our country for decades. Senator Joe McCarthy blew the clarion trumpet in the fifties; yet push-back by Communists and Progressive Socialists silenced his warning. In nineteen sixty three an appendix was placed into Congressional record of the forty-five steps to Communism. Read them now:
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
How many of these steps have come to fruition? How many are left? President John F. Kennedy warned about this and had to face the “Cuban Crisis.’ Make no mistake; Russia is still friends with the Cuban dictatorship. President Ronald Reagan warned about this and was able to get hostages in Iran released after 444 days in captivity (held during President Carter administration) and was able to get Russia to “Tear down” the Berlin Wall. President Reagan called it “Peace through strength.”
NOW the other shoe (President Obama’s second term):
With Communist ideology infiltrating and usurping government during first term (Cloward-Piven strategy included) near its pinnacle, now add the abetting of Islamic ideology to the conundrum. The Middle East is basically on fire; religious zealots fighting for the Caliphate with three factions; Sunnis, Shia and Islamic terrorists. All somewhat under control until our Administration became involved by abetting the “Arab Spring” via removing Mubarek and Gadafi from their government. Removing our troops from Iraq leaving a vacuum that created a race between these factions to fill a void. President Erdogan thumping his own chest for a return of the Ottoman Empire. Some say it is in retaliation of the Sykes-Picot agreement.
Add to this fulmination in the Middle East, our President wants to have a nuclear agreement with Iran (Shia); the ones that shout “Death to America.” Why? Iran has added fuel to the Iraqi conflict, the Yemen conflict and the Syrian conflict. WHY reward a country that is insidiously working toward a goal of death and destruction to Israel and the United States? Our POTUS is promoting the mantra of Islam as a religion of peace. Really? As hundreds of Christians are beheaded, a Jordanian pilot is set afire while trapped in a metal cage, young women and girls are raped and or stoned for not being Islamic? Really? Trying to interject the word “Islamaphobia” if Americans that are non-believers. Our POTUS allowing the likes of CAIR to force-feed Islam to non-believers. Promoting Muslim Student Association (MSA) within America. Watch this video of an exchange between David Horowitz and a Muslim Student representing MSA.
Listen carefully from 0:34 sec to 0:44 sec about MSA supporting “Hitler Youth Week.”
Make sure to watch all the way to the end of the above video about “rounding up all the Jews.”
The possibility of terror cells crossing into our open Southern Border, coming to America on Student Visas or work Visas is another concern. So, with Communism usurping and nearly completing its goals within America; add the Islamification usurpation within America, what is the END goal? Islamo-Fascism? Is this Barack Obama’s real goal of “Hope” and “Change”?
Will the other shoe drop before the November 2016 elections?
Will “Hope” and “Change” turn into “For the Common Good”, “Communitarianism (Utopian Socialists; think Soros) or the “New and Improved Civil Rights” (new word for compliance through statism). Hillary Clinton has the financial backing of Billionaires/Millionaires the likes of George Soros, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, the Rockefeller family, the Rothschilds, Robert McKay (Taco Bell®) but oh, the Koch Brothers are sooooo bad. Really?
America, gear up and/or put on your flotation devices and hold on tight. The next 20 months are going to be rough.
Your choice, if actually given the opportunity in November 8, 2016, will be really quite simple.
The choice will be do you believe in America, its Exceptionalism and the Freedoms you enjoy?
Do you choose statism (government controls of your life) through Socialism or worse through Communism?
Do you choose Islamo-Fascism (life control through Islamic Sharia law)?
Choose wisely.
I personally believe that We the People will not reach the next Presidential Election without some sort of Revolutionary-style upheaval.
Will We the People witness another Civil War within our boundaries?
It may be a descriptive of war, and it will not be Civil.
All I can say is PRAY for the good of our country and ask God to help us all.
Could Obama’s possible Narcissism be interlaced with a Machiavellian style love affair with his ideology?
********************
The greatest source of Machiavelli’s reputation is, of course, The Prince (1532). The main theme of this short book is that all means may be resorted to for the establishment and preservation of authority — the end justifies the means (italics added)– and that the worst and most treacherous acts of the ruler are justified by the wickedness and treachery of the governed. LINK
Hmm…WHERE have we heard or seen the words….”the end justifies the means”? Ahhh…yes, in “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky.
“The third rule of ethics of means and ends is that in war the end justifies almost any means….” p.29 Link
When things are going well, it’s all photo-op smiles, hearty handshakes.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Machiavellianism is “the employment of cunning and duplicity in statecraft or general conduct,” it of course getting its derivation from the Italian diplomat, writer and philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli. In modern psychological parlance, it refers to a duplicitous interpersonal style couple with a pragmatic and narcissistic moral framework.
Some have incorrectly assumed that given their ability to manipulate the crap out of just about anybody, Machiavellian leaders have a relatively high level of intelligence. In fact, many Machiavellian leaders themselves believe this. Not only does research show this isn’t the case at all in regards to IQ, it also shows that folks with more Machiavellian tendencies seem to have lower levels of EQ (emotional intelligence) as well.
Short version of the above: These guys aren’t as smart as they think they are, and probably aren’t as smart as you think they are. Also, they may suck at certain people skills.
In the early 1970s, psychologist Richard Christie and his colleagues identified a distinct personality style that is characterized by manipulativeness, cynicism about human nature, and shrewdness in interpersonal behavior. Named after the
sixteenth-century political philosopher and Italian Prince Machiavelli, this personality style is very nearly synonymous
with being a manipulator. Machiavellian personalities are committed to the proposition that a desired end justifies virtually
any means. Machiavellianism is defined as a manipulative strategy of social interaction and personality style that
uses other people as tools of personal gain.
Machiavellianism derives from the views of Prince Machiavelli that a ruler is not bound by traditional ethical norms.
A prince, therefore, should only be concerned with power and be bound only by rules that would lead to success. Prince
Machiavelli deduced these rules from the political practices of his time:
• Never show humility; it is more effective to show arrogance when dealing with others.
• Morality and ethics are for the weak; powerful people should feel free to lie, cheat, and deceive whenever it suits
their purpose.
• It is better to be feared than loved.
High machs (Machiavellists) tend to constitute a distinctive type. They tend to be charming, confident, and glib; but they also are arrogant, calculating, and cynical, prone to manipulate and exploit. In the context of laboratory experiment games, high
machs display a keen and opportunistic sense of timing, and they appear to capitalize especially in situations that contain
ambiguity regarding the rules.”
This looks like a mixture of Narcissism and Antisocials. Now lets take a look at some of the 48 laws.
Law 3
Conceal your Intentions
Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelope them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.
Law 7
Get others to do the Work for you, but Always Take the Credit
Use the wisdom, knowledge, and legwork of other people to further your own cause. Not only will such assistance save you valuable time and energy, it will give you a godlike aura of efficiency and speed. In the end your helpers will be forgotten and you will be remembered. Never do yourself what others can do for you.
The dark triad is a group of three personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy.[1][2][3] The use of the term “dark” reflects the perception that these traits have interpersonally aversive qualities:[4][5][6][7]
Narcissism is characterised by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[8]
Machiavellianism is characterised by manipulation and exploitation of others, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and deception.[9]
Psychopathy is characterised by enduring antisocial behaviour, impulsivity, selfishness, callousness, and remorselessness.[10]
The dark triad may refer to these traits at only a subclinical level.[11][clarification needed]
All three traits have been associated with a callous-manipulative interpersonal style.[12] Jakobwitz and Egan carried out a factor analysis and found agreeableness strongly dissociated with these traits, and other factors, such as neuroticism and a lack of conscientiousness, associated with some traits.[9]
However, it has been suggested that agreeableness is not relevant to the core of the dark triad, and that instead the common variance is accounted for by callousness and manipulation.[13]
Former baker stirs up secrets corrupting America from within
By Gina Loudon

Trevor Loudon used to get up at 2 a.m. each morning to bake dozens of loaves of bread.
But today, the former baker from Christchurch, New Zealand, is up early to catch communists at work, and the “secret recipes” he’s discovered have already shaken up American politics, exposing politicians, activists and former President Obama advisor Van Jones.
Loudon’s investigative work began after watching the rise of communism in his home country of New Zealand. Worried the same thing might happen in the U.S., he asked a former communist to explain how it happened.
That confidant, Loudon told WND, revealed the big secret of the Marxists is that they make small gains by infiltrating institutions that have political influence ¬– like churches, labor unions and universities – and spread their “yeast” from there. In time, the communists within rise up to infiltrate and control the much larger, mainstream political parties and institutions.
In the United States, Loudon told WND, communists have been following the recipe perfectly, including cooking up a White House candidate.
“I was researching the U.S. Democrats and Communist political parties in 2007, and that’s where I discovered the ties between Barack Obama and the Hawaii Communist Party’s Frank Marshall Davis,” Loudon said.
“I could see that Obama was destined for greatness,” he continued, “so I did a year’s research on Obama (and his Communist Party connections), and I found a bunch of connections. I started to put it up on my website and my blogs, and that’s when I exposed Van Jones, the communist green job czar.”
WND asked Loudon why he, a New Zealander, even cares what happens to America.
Loudon, the former vice president of the ACT Party, the New Zealand version of the Libertarian Party, explained, “If America goes down, every country goes down. Russia, China and Iran are expanding. America is retreating. If this continues, the bad guys will carve up the planet amongst themselves. There is nowhere to run.”
Loudon’s work has exposed Jones, union bosses and former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, but Loudon warns the recipe never begins at the top.
“You’ve got to realize that communists have been infiltrating the Christian Churches in America for 100 years,” Loudon said. “They have instituted ‘liberation theology’ (Christian Marxism), and they have done the same thing in the Middle East to Islam.”
Loudon told WND that in the 1970s Yuri Andropov, the head of the Soviet KGB, had a meeting with the Romanian head of the KGB and they made a plan to send 4,000 Marxists to the Islamic world with one purpose: to stir up hatred against the US and Israel.
“Islam became a battering ram against the West,” Loudon continued. “Now, that doesn’t mean that every Islamic terrorist understands that, just like every union member doesn’t understand that unions have been taken over by the Marxists, just like every Democrat doesn’t realize that their party has been taken over.”
“The communists,” Loudon said, “will work with the radical gay movement, they’ll work with the feminist movement, the Chicano movement, Buddhists, Hindu, they will infiltrate whatever it takes to get power.”
The former baker even disclosed the Republican Party is not above reproach in its ties to Marxism: “The GOP has been infiltrated to some degree, but because the Marxists have so effectively infiltrated the unions, and the unions are so overwhelmingly Democrat, less Republicans are infected by Marxism today. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., was a hard core, leftist, anti-American. [Jacob] Javitz, the former senator from New York, also had his roots in the Communist Party, for example.”
“I’d say in the Republican Party, you have one third progressives, one third go-alongs-to-get-alongs and one third constitutionalists and patriots,” Loudon said. “The real battle in this country is which faction is going to win? If the progressives win, we’re done. If the real, hardcore conservatives like Ted Cruz, [Trey] Gowdy, [Rand] Paul, [Louie] Gohmert, [Jim] Bridenstein come to ascendance, then this country has a chance of fighting back.”
Loudon further said anyone else who appreciates their First Amendment rights – even liberals, atheists and other groups that might be typically sympathetic to socialist policy – had best be warned of the inherent tyranny associated with the communist agenda.
“Even from a purely secular point of view, this is a battle between good and evil,” Loudon said. “It really comes down to [the writings of John] Milton [ironically, born on Bread Street in London, England] This comes down to the reason Satan left heaven. To Satan, it was better to rule in hell than serve in heaven. This is the motivation of the communists. They want power. They want to rule. They don’t give a d— what this earth turns into as long as they are running things.”
And if freedom falls to communist rule in America, Loudon warned, the rest of the world may fall as well.
In light of the wars and violent turbulence that currently engulf the Middle East and parts of Africa, a coalition of concerned citizens, journalists, and activists are launching a campaign to expose a most infamous and pernicious sponsor of Islamic terror: the Gulf state of Qatar.
Qatar, (pronounced“cutter,” or “gutter”), is, per capita, the richest country in the world ($93,352 in 2013). This is partly due to the fact that they control the third largest natural gas reserves in the world, the North Dome field in the Persian Gulf. It is also because Qatar has a mere 278,000 citizens, with a total population of 2.05 million; the remaining people in Qatar are a mix of well-paid ex-pats from countries such as the United States and Great Britain, and a substantial slave labor population.
A backer of international terror from Nigeria to Gaza to Syria and Iraq, the Qatari ruling family, the al-Thanis, exploit Islamic jihadi groups and their ties to illicit smuggling.
What is being smuggled? Mostly narcotics and people – slaves.
Unfortunately, the United States is integrated into the Qatari “economy” as much as any other developed nation. Doha, Qatar’s capital, is home to two of the largest American military bases in the entire world, as well as familiar companies like ExxonMobil, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin. Doha also hosts a number of campuses for prestigious American universities, such as Georgetown, Carnegie Mellon, and Cornell. Other companies and organizations, ranging from the film production company Miramax to financial behemoths like Bank of America, have accepted significant amounts of investment by the al-Thanis.
Hamas, a Qatari client, launched a war against Israel this summer. There is an ongoing genocide across Iraq and Syria, with mass graves and grisly beheadings of Christians and Shiite Muslims. Boko Haram continues to rampage across Nigeria, threatening the political stability of Africa’s largest economy and population. Qatari fingerprints are on each of crises.
Over the course of the next month, companies, organizations, and individuals with significant investments and activities with and in Qatar will be identified and contacted with the reality of their host country. These letters, once published, will be sent to press outlets around the world.
We call on the parties identified in this campaign to review the evidence, which is all credibly sourced and vetted. In light of the terror, slavery, genocide, and narcotics trafficking, we urge the parties to demand that Qatar immediately cease any and all involvement in these activities.

“To the Students for Justice in Palestine, a Letter from an Angry Black Woman”
Chloe Valdary concludes this terrific piece by saying, “It is of course your prerogative to continue to utilize platitudes for your cause. You are entirely within your rights to chant words like ‘equality’ ‘justice’ and ‘freedom fighter.’ You can keep using those words for as long as you like. But I do not think you know what they mean.” Indeed. Or maybe they know full well what they mean, and want to confuse and manipulate people into no longer being sure , so they can more easily claim them for themselves.
“To the Students for Justice in Palestine, a Letter From an Angry Black Woman,” by Chloe Valdary, Tablet, July 28, 2014 (thanks to Linda):
The student organization Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is prominent on many college campuses, preaching a mantra of “Freeing Palestine.” It masquerades as though it were a civil rights group when it is not. Indeed, as an African-American, I am highly insulted that my people’s legacy is being pilfered for such a repugnant agenda. It is thus high time to expose its agenda and lay bare some of the fallacies they peddle.
• If you seek to promulgate the legacy of early Islamic colonialists who raped and pillaged the Middle East, subjugated the indigenous peoples living in the region, and foisted upon them a life of persecution and degradation—you do not get to claim the title of “Freedom Fighter.”
• If you support a racist doctrine of Arab supremacism and wish (as a corollary of that doctrine) to destroy the Jewish state, you do not get to claim that the prejudices you peddle are forms of legitimate “resistance.”
• If your heroes are clerics who sit in Gaza plotting the genocide of a people; who place their children on rooftops in the hopes they will get blown to bits; who heap praises upon their fellow gang members when they succeed in murdering Jewish school boys and bombing places of activity where Jews congregate—you do not get to claim that you are some Apollonian advocate of human virtue. You are not.
• If your activities include grieving over the woefully incompetent performance by Hamas rocketeers and the subsequent millions of Jewish souls who are still alive—whose children were not murdered by their rockets; whose limbs were not torn from them; and whose disembowelment did not come into fruition—you do not get to claim that you stand for justice. You profess to be irreproachable. You are categorically not.
• If your idea of a righteous cause entails targeting and intimidating Jewish students on campus, arrogating their history of exile-and-return and fashioning it in your own likeness you do not get to claim that you do so in the name of civil liberty and freedom of expression.
• You do not get to champion regimes that murder, torture, and persecute their own people, deliberately keep them impoverished, and embezzle billions of dollar from them—and claim you are “pro-Arab.” You are not.
• You do not get to champion a system wherein Jews are barred from purchasing land, traveling in certain areas, and living out such an existence merely because they are Jews—and claim that you are promoting equality for all. You do not get to enable that system by pushing a boycott of Jewish owned businesses, shops, and entities—and then claim that you are “against apartheid.” That is evil.
• You do not get to justify the calculated and deliberate bombings, beatings, and lynchings of Jewish men, women, and children by referring to such heinous occurrences as part of a noble “uprising” of the oppressed—that is racism. It is evil.
• You do not get to pretend as though you and Rosa Parks would have been great buddies in the 1960s. Rosa Parks was a real Freedom Fighter. Rosa Parks was a Zionist….
Indeed, they and many more men and women signed a letter in 1975 that stated: “We condemn the anti-Jewish blacklist. We have fought too long and too hard to root out discrimination from our land to sit idly while foreign interests import bigotry to America. Having suffered so greatly from such prejudice, we consider most repugnant the efforts by Arab states to use the economic power of their newly-acquired oil wealth to boycott business firms that deal with Israel or that have Jewish owners, directors, or executives, and to impose anti-Jewish preconditions for investments in this country.”
