You will be too, read on.

Aggregately, I believe we are a somewhat enlightened and intelligent society…

However, we are, at times, capable of unadulterated lunacy. We have known for years that scattered throughout the United States are groups that are seeking to destroy all that is America, our culture, our society, our people. We know that terrorist organizations out of Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Libya, Palestine, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and (yes) the U.S., including Hamas and Hezbollah operatives are moving freely among our citizenry. We know that these groups, often under the guise of “charitable” organizations, solicit support from well-meaning Americans. We know that in our forests, mountains and rural areas exist “paramilitary” camps and facilities that are actively used for terrorist training and warfare, and our urban areas are becoming the worldwide communications and recruitment hubs for these organizations. Make no mistake, these groups are well armed, well equipped, well funded, highly organized and ready for a “holy” war. 

As an American, I have fervently believed that our government, (federal, state and local) had a “handle” on this situation and were actively engaged to eliminate this monstrous threat.

I WAS WRONG!!! 

Investigations have uncovered videos, websites and publications showing these camps operating inside our borders and professing their intent and commitment to destroy America. Current estimates state these training facilities operate freely and uninhibited in at least 16 States within the U.S., Canada and Mexico and number in excess of 200 facilities, with membership in the thousands. Imagine for a moment the destruction unleashed upon us if the 9/11/01 terrorists were multiplied by a thousand! Unthinkable, it is in the planning stages NOW! While some of these facilities are well known to the U.S. authorities, no action can be taken, because our political representatives have granted de-facto U.S. Constitutional rights to these terrorist organizations. INSANITY! We have enemies operating “in-the-wire” and our politicians say we cannot violate their Constitutional Rights.

While the economy is forefront on everyone’s agenda, we cannot and must not lose sight of these imminent threats within our borders. This activity in our very midst is UNACCEPTABLE and MUST NOT be tolerated. Our elected representatives are unresponsive, HOPING this will CHANGE and go away by burying our heads in the sand. Understand that these representatives will quote PC laws to protect this activity under religious freedom and separation of church and state. These same representatives would call for heads-to-roll if these were Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, or Hindu groups. These same self-aggrandizing representatives will be at the forefront AFTER an attack to profess indignation on why nothing was done to prevent this. Remember the Branch Davidian’s under Bill Clinton and Janet Reno were decimated for far less egregious crimes than planning the annihilation of America and the murder of innocent U.S. citizens. 

The facts are undeniable; the U.S. economy is in a historically unprecedented crisis. All global economies are inextricably linked and the outlook is not hopeful on any front. There is no denying that economies undergo cyclical readjustments – periods of short and/or extended bull or bear markets. Some economists claim that recessions/depressions are unavoidable. However, was our economy precipitously manipulated to ensure failure? The following are the FACTS – you be the judge:

Please understand that I am by no means an economist, so bear with me on this somewhat lengthy, yet necessary explanation. If you try to stay informed, you have undoubtedly heard pundits on both sides arguing that the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977, either had nothing to do with our current crisis or was the cause of everything we are currently experiencing. The truth (as always) is somewhere in the middle. The historical facts are that the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) was enacted into law in 1974 and made it unlawful for any creditor to discriminate against any applicant with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age. This was a necessary law to ensure that credit equality was established on the basis of credit worthiness and not based upon the individual’s race or religion and was enforced with significant penalties and fines. The Community Reinvestment Act re-defined discrimination based upon location rather than the individual and mandated that financial institutions that receive FDIC insurance (the majority of banks) be evaluated on a quasi-quota ranking system to ensure entire communities were being adequately served. This law was not intended to fine these institutions, rather just to evaluate their performance, however by linking this law with the ECOA, significant penalties and fines could be imposed and a low CRA rating would impede a bank’s ability to operate. 

This law was enacted despite criticisms that the law would “distort credit markets, create unnecessary regulatory burdens, lead to unsound lending, and cause the governmental agencies charged with implementing the law to allocate credit”. Several laws already existed to ensure equality for the “underserved” communities, however these laws did not directly impact financial institutions, as did the CRA. 

In 1992 the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act required Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (quasi-government agencies) to purchase and review “risky” mortgages to ensure a percentage (upwards of 50%) of their portfolios included low income housing.

Additionally, in 1995 the CRA regulations were changed significantly to streamline the process and ranking systems and allow community organizations and Political Action Committees (federal lobbyists) to use these ratings to apply pressure to financial institutions. The congressional hearings during 1995 yielded a litany of criticisms including overt political favoritism in allocating credit and politically motivated micromanagement by regulators. It was stated that banks should not be expected to operate at a loss to support high-risk loans. William Niskanen of the Cato Institute predicted that these CRA regulations would be very costly to the economy and the financial system. He recommended that Congress overturn the CRA. 

Between 1993 and 1998 the majority of large U.S. cities increased mortgage credit from CRA lenders to low and middle-income borrowers to $500 billion. In addition, the usually stoic and reserved Wall Street institutions were jumping on the federal guarantee bandwagon, 1997 saw First Union Capital and Bear, Stearns issuing a half billion dollars of CRA loan securities which were guaranteed by Freddie Mac and had an implied AAA credit rating.

By 1999 this juggernaut had achieved significant and seemingly unstoppable momentum. And in 1999 the Financial Services Modernization Act was passed into law and repealed a major provision of the Glass-Steagall Act, which had regulated banking practices since 1933. This in effect gave the CRA unlimited influence upon the banking industry which could now expand into the insurance, commodities and securities markets. By 2002 it was glaringly apparent to many economists, financial analysts and politicians that the train was traveling too fast and was going to derail. This derailment was not only going to take out the commuter trains, but all the other major rail lines as well. By 2006 it was too late and markets were showing signs of major structural damage. 

Hence we have arrived at where we are today… and the reason for the name of this article “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” which is from Article 2; Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution and states that: “The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” 

This is an indictment on unchecked political corruption and influence peddling of an unprecedented scope and on a global scale. Check the facts…

In 1999 Senators Charles Schumer and Christopher Dodd forced the amendment to the Financial Services Modernization Act, which tied bank’s CRA performance to their ability to expand into the insurance and securities markets. This now put undue risk at the very heart of our financial institutions and created an omniscient mentality for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to guarantee subprime loans and high-risk mortgage-backed securities. We can only assume that this was a well intentioned, however disastrous mistake on the part of two high ranking Senators – not an impeachable offence, however a clear indication that these two should not hold any significant post. As we now know these two paragons of “virtue and intelligence” are now responsible for the financial future of our country. It gets worse…

In 2002 when all indications were that the U.S. economy was headed towards a catastrophic meltdown due in large part to the subprime mortgage-backed securities market, being driven by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, Representative Barney Frank and Senator Chuck Schumer assured the country and their constituents that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were “sound” financially, on the right track and that no crisis was looming. While lying to the public is bad enough, these imperious “geniuses” were influencing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in closed-door sessions, to expand their scope and take on significantly greater risks. In 2006, Congressman Frank even went so far as to apply pressure to federal regulators to “ease-up on their restrictions and capital requirements” – a federal crime. By the way Congressman Barney Frank is the chairman of the House Banking Committee.

This leads us to 2008 and the collapse of the U.S. and global economies. By 2008 it was apparent that the damage to our economy was so significant that no single event or person could turn the tide. This would require a rapid and radical underpinning and a long-term plan to restructure the economy to re-establish financial stability and consumer confidence. Sensing that the inevitability of an economic collapse during a presidential election year was a death-knell to the incumbent party, our “honest and courageous” political representatives feared only one thing. LOSS OF POWER. They were not concerned with the fate of the citizenry, only that if the collapse occurred on the current administration’s watch the election would undoubtedly swing to the other party’s favor and what ever happened after the election could be blamed on the prior administration. Two scenarios had to be avoided at all costs – 1. That the current administration would miraculously implement a plan that would cause an upswing or correction in the economy, or 2. That the economic crisis would not hit until after the election. 

These are the High Crimes and Misdemeanors: 

Senator Chuck Schumer writes and publishes a letter to one of the largest banks in the country, Indy Mac and creates an unprecedented run on Indy Mac (over $1.3 billion withdrawn in under 3 days), which causes the second largest bank failure in U.S. history. This created a “domino” effect, which panicked the public and Wall Street investors alike and ensured the precipitous collapse of the economy. As if this wasn’t enough, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid follows this up with the public statement that “a major insurance company” is on the verge of bankruptcy, which causes a massive stock sell-off and plummets all the insurance companies stocks into the basement. AIG (the largest insurance company) failed shortly there after. These were not random acts by the ignorant or uninformed, these were cold, hard, and calculated attacks on the U.S. economy by power hungry politicians that wanted this collapse to occur prior to the presidential elections. This is unconscionable and needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent. These actions have done more damage to America than any perpetrated by criminal organizations, cartels or terrorists. The one BIG problem, the very same lunatics that facilitated this economic meltdown are now running the asylum.   

On this the unprecedented ushering in of a new political era, we have cultivated a “New Republic” in America – an ultraliberal administration (the Executive Branch), with an ultraliberal congress (the Legislative Branch), a soon-to-be ultraliberal Supreme Court and Federal Judiciary (the Judicial Branch) and an overwhelmingly ultraliberal media (the “Watchdog” Branch). America has now created a government that no longer has any checks and balances, and is on the precipice of a Democratic Dictatorship. Impossible! Read and learn: 

This ultraliberal block will immediately attempt to break the tenuous democratic process that exists in our unions. These massive unions control millions of American jobs and hence influence tens of millions of American lives. One of the first legislative actions of our new congress will be to eliminate the secret balloting that now protects the anonymity of union members from the often corrupt union leadership. Once this protection is removed, union members will be intimidated into voting 100% of the time with union leaders or face losing union status and ultimately their livelihood. This will in effect replace all dissenting union members with “good” liberals, who will vote consistently in local and national elections to ensure a Democratic Dictatorship.

Watch for “changes” in the scope, size and power of “union” organizations like the NEA and a new Department of Education, whose ultraliberal agenda will influence American education at the Elementary, Secondary and Collegiate levels. This will guarantee ultraliberal “indoctrination” (or re-education) at an unprecedented and unrelenting pace of Americans from early childhood to adulthood and ensure the continuation of a Democratic Dictatorship.

The next legislative action of this ultraliberal block will be to pass the “Fairness Doctrine”, which will effectively silence one of the last conservative voices left in the wilderness – Talk Radio. This doctrine will not address the overriding majority of ultraliberal bias that exists in the newsprint and network television, it will focus solely on the few remaining conservative voices on the radio. This will in effect silence any dissenting voices that can influence the voting population and ensure the continuation of a Democratic Dictatorship.

Watch for an even greater level of “temporary” government takeovers of American private industries and businesses, forcing additional tens of millions of American workers to “kowtow” to an ultraliberal agenda. Priority legislations within this ultraliberal block will be to repeal NAFTA and trade agreements with pro-American countries and massively increase taxes on American Businesses. Once this is accomplished and American Industries are facing ever increasing labor and production costs, new regulations and crushing taxation, these bastions and cornerstones of American free markets will be forced to close shop entirely and move enmass to a more “business friendly” environment in which making a profit is not tantamount to criminal activity. When this happens, millions of American jobs will be lost, thus creating a highly disparaged, disgruntled and unemployed populous, which is dependant solely on BIG Government for sustenance. This has historically been the base of the Democratic party and will ensure the continuation of a Democratic Dictatorship.

Watch for “reinterpretations” of our Constitution, specifically 2^nd Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms. A limited repeal of this Amendment will make it nearly impossible for law-abiding citizens to possess a firearm. Watch for the long awaited ultraliberal agenda of impementing "Statehood" Senate representation for Washington, DC, a unequivocal violation of Constitutional law and a means to seat two additional ultraliberal Senators, ad infinitum. Keep a careful eye on the upcoming 2010 Census, the ultraliberal "block" will undoubtedly try to re-formulate the Census calculations/results (under-the-radar, of course) and redistrict, potentially every state in the union.  An ultraliberal agenda will massively increase Federal Law Enforcement size and authority, thus “warranting” the only armed segment of the new American Society will be either a newly created National Enforcement Agency or criminals. The level of intimidation and subjugation that we glimpsed during the lead-up to the Presidential Election, will continue unabated, thus ensuring the continuation of a Democratic Dictatorship.

Still not convinced that this is a Democratic Dictatorship, then please read how every fascist regime and dictatorship has risen to power throughout human history, you will be horrified at the remarkable similarities. 

We will have a totally collapsed economy. Our dependency on foreign oil will increase exponentially, due to greater restrictions on domestic drilling and the specific targeting, over regulation, and the levying of bankruptcy inducing fines on the domestic coal industry. American interests around the globe will be subjugated through our condescension to the UN and international concerns. Our Defense and Intelligence capabilities will be severely impaired and compromised, through an endless assault of “under the radar” budget cuts and our highly classified programs will continue to be leaked through the ultraliberal media. Look forward to endless unrepentant corruption, criminal activity and scandals, which will be “glossed” over by the media.

We will have become the proletariat masses, working to support our government and acceding to the wills of the limousine liberal elite and the Washington intelligentsia.

And when we are most vulnerable, we will no longer be able to bring the fight to our enemies, they WILL bring it to our doorstep.
