I cannot comprehend the madness of the times. Treason is in the air around us everywhere. It goes by the name of patriotism.
Thomas Corwin to Abraham Lincoln, 1861
P eople can justify a governments controversial policies and actions for only so long until they see a pattern of abuse of power. Then, even the most devout supporters of any regime must decide if they support these extreme policies and actions or oppose them.
With the current government, this point of no return was reached for some when they slowly realized the extent of the vast National Security Agency spying scandal.
For others it was the release of known Islamist terrorists from the Guantanamo Bay prison without congressional knowledge.
For most Americans, the flood of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America purposely created by the administration to overwhelm our southern borders was the final straw.
Still other supporters kept justifying one extremist act after another, justifying the presidents policies and actions with rationalizations that included saying that those who opposed them were right-wing conspirators, racists, Obama haters, and the like.
Yet for those of us who study governments that have taken nations from freedom to fascism, the handwriting has been on the wall for many years.
My question is this: Will the Obama inner circle of extremist left-wing radicals trigger an event that will provoke an American insurrection, even a civil war?
Is this concern to be dismissed as a right-wing conspiracy?
Let me explain to you what is happening.
The desperate Democrats are all pursuing policies of race and class warfare. As their failures and many deceits become clearer to the people, as the war theyre fighting against the freedoms promised in the U.S. Constitution materializes, they are counting on minority voters to turn out for them at the ballot box. Look at these excerpts from some of their speeches to high school and college graduates.
Heres Michelle Obama, the First Lady. Is she trying to agitate these children? Stir them up to do what?
The fact is that your experience here in Topeka would have been unimaginable back in 1954, when Brown v. Board of Education first went to the Supreme Court. This would not be possible. Back then, Topeka, like so many cities, was segregated, so black folks and white folks had separate restaurants, separate hotels, separate movie theaters, swimming pools, and, of course, the elementary schools were segregated, too.
How do you feel about the First Lady stirring up such racial enmity in this speech? How would you feel if I told you that I believe its not an isolated incident?
Heres what Attorney General Eric Holder said in his graduation speech:
Codified segregation of public schools has been barred since Brown [v. Board of Education]. But in too many of our school districts, significant divisions persist and segregation has reoccurredincluding zero-tolerance school discipline practices that, while well-intentioned and aimed at promoting school safety, affect black males at a rate three times higher than their white peers.
Do you hear what Eric Holder said? He told his audience that black males are targeted, not because they cause more disruption and violence in the classroom, but because they are black. Its Animal Farm. Its upside down. Its doublespeak. Its everything we were warned about since the dawn of social engineering in this country.
Tim Geithner, a spoiled, rich white boy from Queens who had everything handed to him as he grew up, has the nerve to get down with the other administration doublespeakers to push a biased and untruthful racial message:
We have tremendously high numbers of people living in poverty. Weve had a long period where the median income has not grown, [and a] big rise in inequality. And, to an extent, this should not be acceptable to Americans. How well you do in life today, how good your education is, how good your health care is, depends too much on the color of your skin or how rich your parent is.
Finally, here is none other than Nancy Pelosi, a very wealthy woman, acting as if shes a member of the Occupy Wall Street movement. When you read this, youll understand that these four graduation speakers are trying to exacerbate class and racial division in this country:
Our founders were successful disruptors of the then status quo. Being called a disruptor, in my view, is a very high compliment. You here in Berkeley are already disruptors in many ways. In 1964, Mario Savio and company were disruptors of the status quo, too. When he and his fellow activists occupied Sproul [Hall], their exercise of free speech could only travel as fast as television, radio, and newspapers. Think of your possibilities. Now its all about you.
Do you understand what Pelosi is doing?
Shes inciting the graduating seniors from the University of California, Berkeley, an institution that once was a hotbed of free speech but where students and faculty now fear speaking their minds to express an opinion that doesnt agree with the opinion of those in power. In my view, Pelosi is inciting them to become disruptors.
Why would these four people put forth what I see as a message of class and racial division to graduating college seniors on the same weekend, with Pelosi further telling her audience to go out and become disruptors?
Why would they spread the message of racial inequality?
Not to be outdone by the race-baiting, Democrat Jay Rockefeller espoused his view that skin color was behind the rejection of our Euro-African presidents failed policies.
How do you feel about this governments stoking racial divisions?
Why do they do it?
Im telling you, theyre setting the stage for more confrontations between citizens of the United States and their government.
From the arguably traitorous foreign policy decisions to the bloated, biased, incompetent bureaucracy, the current administration is aiding and abetting our terrorist enemies while refusing to provide medical support to the soldiers who have fought against the very enemies this administration seems to be supporting.
Three events in the early summer of 2014 make very clear what this governments positions are:
The release of five radical Islamist leaders from Guantanamo Bay prison in exchange for the return of an American soldier who deserted his post and may have aided and abetted the enemy in Afghanistan
Inviting hundreds of thousands of Central American children and young adultssome of them known gang members with distinguishing gang tattoosto enter the United States illegally and then providing food and shelter for them before sending them off to friends and relatives in other U.S. cities
What I see as the intentional refusal to provide critical medical treatment for injured and ill American servicemen through the Veterans Affairs medical system
Let me take you through the Gitmo detainees exchange first.
According to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, the president of the United States approved the transfer of five of the most dangerous long-term Gitmo inmates to the country of Qatar in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl, an American soldier who is described by some of his fellow soldiersas many as six of them were killed attempting to find and rescue Bergdahl after he left his postas a deserter.
