It ain't over!

I saw this new shirt design over at Simon Jester's outfit, and I think it captures the mood of the city well. I am certain that they won't mind the free advertising, and it is a site well worth visiting.

Passage of Time

Time passes, and what was once only a painful reminder of loss, now hints at an opportunity. A chance to remind the world of what the Sons of Liberty showed an oppressive regime, all those years ago. Freedom is is not something that can be denied to those who seek it. No propaganda from a government controlled media can extinguish this flame. The MSM may vilify us, try to deny our significance, and even our existence. They may slander us as extremists, but I say we are passionate. They may label us - a crazy fringe group, but I say we are determined. They claim that we are few, but there are millions of us and our ranks grow every minute. For the sake of our children, we are devoted to preserve what is the foundation of America: the freedom to speak our mind, the freedom to defend ourselves, and the freedom to chose our destiny. We will win, because their control over us is an illusion. It is a fragile glass house, built on lies. Ours is built on self-evident truth, and our rights are endowed to us by our creator.

The face of a government controlled media outlet. Reporter? More accurately a propagandist. Please see the video at the coffee shop. Also see Michelle Malkin's site for more detailed analysis. Disgusting.

Tea Party NYC

I arrived early and looked around for familiar faces. I saw several members of the Brooklyn Republicans passing out pamphlets. I took one, but felt that their activity was intrusive as this was not a Republican event. There were many excellent posters and flags, including the Gadsdens. I saw working people who appeared as if they had just came out of the office, teenagers, older Americans, and there were families with small children. People were polite to one another, and at the same time fired-up. I was hoping to meet some fellow bloggers, but the crowd was so huge that it would likely have been impossible to spot a familiar face. I tried to do a rough estimate and I am certain that there were over 5k people there; it was likely around 10k. Shortly after 7PM, the speakers introduced themselves to the crowd and the roar from around City Hall park became deafening. With one voice we shouted "We are America", "U.S.A.", and we were heard! I don't care if the MSM reports this event or not, we were heard! There is just no way to suppress this kind a gathering. Chuck Schumer, deservedly, received several chants such as "Schumer Must Go" and "Chuck is a Schmuck!"

One attendee that I wish to describe in detail was a kind faced woman who was probably somebody's grandmother standing next to me. I asked her if she did any writing, hoping to hear that she also writes a blog, but she said no. She does read from such sources and we briefly spoke of Charles Johnson's turncoat behaviour. She stood there holding up her sign until her strength faded and she asked people to allow her to sit down. After a brief rest, she again stood up and held up her sign, and this pattern repeated throughout the evening. On her sign she addressed her disgust at the DHS attempt to criminalize those of us who honor our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Shame on you Napolitano, if this is who you consider a threat to the United States of America. A kind grandmother, who has difficulty walking and yet she forced herself to attend a rally to defend the Constitution and the rule of law in this land is a domestic terrorist suspect? A right wing extremist?

There were more than 700 such rallies April 15th, drawing a crowd likely totalling more than a million of concerned American citizens. As I looked around at the people present, I couldn't help but notice the similarities to another such crowd I encountered at this same location. On September 14-16th, 2001 I worked at a triage centre located near the pile of what was once the World Trade Centre. Good people came together to sift through this pile of rubble with the hope of finding survivors. Those patriotic Americans who couldn't get into the area also tried to help in any way they could. They lined up at blood banks, donated food and clothing, prepared meals and freely gave them to the volunteers walking towards the pile. Inside, there were fire-fighters, policemen and policewomen, doctors, nurses, and contractors all working together. All working to help their country at its hour of need. This crowd were no different. They came together to help their country. No babbling, infanticide promoting, imposter who bows down to foreign kings will change the spirit of these heroic citizens. No phoney news agencies will keep our voices from being heard. We will rescue our country and secure this nation for our children.

Return of Fascism.

In my last post, I pointed out certain similarities between Putin and Obama; specifically in how they exerted their control over private businesses. I used to think of Putin as a thief, because he used the power of the government to steal other's companies and consequently became Europe's richest man. I also see many of our congressmen and senators as thieves, because they use public office to line their pockets with our tax money. They award contracts to friends and they buy votes with taxpayers' money. Michelle Malkin astutely refers to the multi-staged bailout, as the generational theft act. Our government is stealing our children's future by leaving them responsible to pay off this wild spending spree.

Obama's prior behaviour with the Annenberg foundation where millions were funnelled God knows where, while Obama became richer, led me to believe that he is just another thief. That view was again confirmed when his multiple tax hikes were unveiled. At each new revelation, I thought that he simply wants to steal everything in my pocket. However, when he appropriated for himself the power to fire the CEO of General Motors, and appointed himself the de facto ruler of any corporation that partook in the bailout feeding frenzy, a very different line was crossed. That move left many speechless and wondering about what has happened to our country.

It was enlightening to read a quote attributed to Benito Mussolini, regarding the nature of fascism.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Mussolini's diary.

From Wikipedia we get more illuminating quotations:

"The Fascist State lays claim to rule in the economic field no less than in others; it makes its action felt throughout the length and breadth of the country by means of its corporate, social, and educational institutions, and all the political, economic, and spiritual forces of the nation, organised in their respective associations, circulate within the State. (p. 41)."

—Benito Mussolini, 1935, "The Doctrine of Fascism", Firenze: Vallecchi Editore.

Do you see what is happening in our classrooms? Do you recall Michelle Obama stating that her husband will save America's soul?

"State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management." (pp. 135-136)

—Benito Mussolini, 1935, "Fascism: Doctrine and Institutions", Rome: 'Ardita' Publishers.

Look around people. On March 29, 2009 the new fascist state has come into being on the North American continent. Who better to understand and to clearly characterize fascism than Il Duce himself? Welcome to our bewildering Brave New World, or if you like - welcome back to Europe, circa 1935. With the latest resurgence of anti-Semitism, we should see Kristrallnacht and other ugly faces of fascism soon enough.

Leaders and followers.

There has been a lot of talk about Obama's firing of GM's CEO. Here is a reminder of recent Russian history.


"MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday strongly defended the takeover by state oil firm Rosneft of stricken oil major YUKOS' key production unit." December 23, 2004.


Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested and jailed when Putin decided to steal his company. He placed friends in charge of its operation, and today Putin is the richest man in Europe. How exactly were Obama's actions different? How will the new GM's CEO be selected and who will he swear an oath of loyalty to? How will other executives, whose companies borrowed from Obama, fare and who do they now fear the most?

This money that Obama used to buy himself chief execute power over all these businesses...he uses it as if it is already his.

My other thought about Putin and those who follow his footsteps - there was a time when Mussolini was the head honcho, and then he became someone's lapdog.

A very brief message to the G2O crowd.

"If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." -Will Rogers.
