THE PLAN - EXPOSED?

Daily, the list of “important people” who believe it is now politically acceptable to “tell it like it is”, gets larger. Peter Orzag, who recently resigned as Obama’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, is quoted as saying “we'll likely need another economic crisis in order to rid ourselves of this unbearable political polarization” (he believes the current socioeconomic policies, including the money pump from Bernanke are suicidal), and Erskine Bowles, the co-chair of the president’s Debt and Deficit Commission, and Bill Clinton’s chief of staff during Clinton’s budget surplus years, said this yesterday: "Without tough choices, we're on the most predictable path toward an economic crisis that I can imagine."

These guys are a little more than your average political hack, and their opinions matter in important policy making circles. They are also, Democrats.

The balloon that was sent up yesterday to test the waters regarding the recommendations the “co-chairs” of the Debt and Deficit Commission would like to submit to the president, was a lot more than just a leak. It was expected to cause a major flap, and it has. Their recommendations would gore almost everybody’s ox, and it would appear to take an incredible amount of testosterone and change of ideology for the president to indorse it. However, we should wait a bit before coming to conclusions regarding how the president and other progressives, such as George Soros, will use this “manufacture a crises” opportunity. Yes, we already have a crises in the making if nothing is done, however, this “cut off the leg to stop the gangrene” approach may accelerate the process without careful preparation of the citizenry, rational controls, and orchestrated by people with good intent.

Without the right leadership, no radical approach to solving the problem can have a positive result; positive that is, to you and me. The “wrong” leadership will cause either accidental, or intentional, chaos. The progressive leaders at the grass roots level have been preparing their armies of workers (the unions, the poor, the out of work, and the “disenfranchised”) for just this opportunity. They are itching to take them to the streets in violent demonstrations, and have more than enough soldiers to make our streets look as bad as anything we see on the news in Greece. There would be a loud cry for government protection from these demonstrators, the destruction they create, the rise in crime to small business and individuals, and for relief from the abject fear this would cause. The global response to the sight of the country once thought to be the only remaining hope for the preservation of freedom and democracy coming apart at the seams, would accelerate the devastation of our currency, greatly reduce our ability to influence world affairs, and make us even more vulnerable to attack from virtually every corner of the ideological and power hungry world. Our president needs a major shift in public perception of his competence and ability to run our country without destroying it. He needs an economic event that he can use to gain the support he needs to remain in power and to implement his progressive agenda. An event like the one we had at the end of 2008 would not be enough. Violence in the streets, raging inflation, fear of personal loss and personal harm – would do it.

In my opinion, a radical plan such as the one being tested is necessary for the restoration of a healthy economy. However, in order to pull it off without devastating consequences would require leadership far different than we have experienced since Ronald Regan. In my opinion, there is no hope for such leadership coming from the White House under the current administration, therefore, I pray the “leaked solutions” are shelved until a better day. Whether my prayer is answered will depend on whether the progressives in power decide this is what they have been waiting for to put the final nail in the coffin for the Capitalist/Free Enterprise system, or not. If they get behind this plan, conservatives will embrace it with vigor, and it will be implemented. How could conservatives not support a radical plan such as this, without having to try to educate the whole population on the fact that the president of the United States is a progressive revolutionary, who would use a necessary remedy for the cure for cancer to kill the whole body, either through incompetence, or intention?

So, I suggest we have an important signal to watch for; if the leaders within the progressive movement endorse this plan, (or allow it to become law after fighting vigorously against it, citing Republican partisanship as the reason, even though they still control all new legislation) we can assume the plan will create the devastating environment I described. If that occurs we will need to take a more aggressive approach to self protection. We have received credible warning, backed by credible information that is available to anyone willing to look for it. If you are still having a hard time believing that our personal freedoms and economic way of life are being attacked by very powerful people within our own country, then you really need to consider becoming a student of history, start paying attention to the world around us, and hopefully, wake up. Restricting your educational resources to the mainstream news media will not get you there.

The country will get through this, whatever it turns out to be. However, the quality of life remaining after “getting through it” will be dependent upon individual determination to become informed, and willingness to take action when needed.
