Topic: Barack Obama Fiddles While Ferguson - and America - Burn

I. Is Barack Obama the Contemporary Roman Emperor Nero?

Regardless of whether this ever happened, the cliche remains the same. The tyrannical Roman emperor Nero was said to have fiddled during a massive fire along the Circus Maximus in Rome which started in the shops, which most claim was to construct his new villa. When I provide for you the details of Nero's notorious reign of terror, you might wish to ask yourselves, "Is Obama the contemporary Nero?" courtesy of Biography.

Lucius Domitus Ahenobarbus, a.k.a. Nero, Emperor of Rome, Theater Actor and Poet (37-68)

Nero 

Emperor, Theater Actor, Poet (37–68)

As Roman emperor, Nero’s reign was lavish and tyrannical. He killed his mother, persecuted Christians and is said to have "fiddled while Rome burned."

Synopsis

Nero was born in 37 A.D., the nephew of the emperor. After his father’s death, his mother married his uncle and persuaded him to name Nero his successor. Nero took the throne at 17, rebuffed his mother’s attempts to control him, and had her killed. He spent lavishly and behaved inappropriately. He began executing opponents and Christians. In 68, he committed suicide when the empire revolted.

Early Life and Ascent to the Throne

Nero was born as Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, the son of Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Agrippina, who was the great-granddaughter of the emperor Augustus. He was educated in the classical tradition by the philosopher Seneca and studied Greek, philosophy and rhetoric.

After Ahenobarbus died in 48 A.D., Agrippina married her uncle, the emperor Claudius. She persuaded him to name Nero as his successor rather than his own son, Britannicus, and to offer his daughter, Octavia, as Nero’s wife, which he did in 50 A.D.

Claudius died in 54 A.D., and it is widely suspected that Agrippina had Claudius poisoned. Nero presented himself to the Senate to deliver a eulogy in Claudius’s honor and was named Emperor of Rome. He took the name Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, and ascended to the throne at the age of 17.

Agrippina’s Influence

Agrippina was domineering and attempted to influence her son’s rule. She was angered by the more moderate advice of Nero’s advisors, his former tutor Seneca and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Burrus.

Agrippina also tried to assert her authority in Nero’s private life. When Nero began an affair with Claudia Acte, a former slave, and threatened to divorce Octavia, Agrippina advocated for Octavia and demanded that her son dismiss Acte. Although he and Octavia remained married, Nero began living openly with Acte as his wife in spite of his mother’s protests.

After Nero spurned his mother’s influence in both public and private affairs, she was infuriated. She began championing Britannicus, then still a minor, as emperor. However, Britannicus died suddenly in 55, the day before he was to be proclaimed an adult. It is widely assumed that Nero poisoned Britannicus, although Nero claimed that he died from a seizure. Even after Britannicus had died, Agrippina tried to agitate the public against Nero, and Nero banished her from the family palace.

By 58, Nero had dismissed Acte and fallen for Poppaea Sabina, a noblewoman who was married to a member of the Roman aristocracy. He wanted to marry her, but public opinion did not look favorably upon a divorce from Octavia and his mother staunchly opposed it. Fed up with his mother’s interference and no longer content with her removal from the palace, Nero took matters into his own hands. Agrippina was murdered in 59 at Nero’s command.

Nero’s Reign

Until the year 59, Nero was described as a generous and reasonable leader. He eliminated capital punishment, lowered taxes and allowed slaves to bring complaints against their masters. He supported the arts and athletics above gladiator entertainment and gave aid to other cities in crisis. Although he was known for his nighttime frolicking, his actions were good-natured, if irresponsible and self-indulgent.

But after Agrippina’s murder, Nero descended into a hedonic lifestyle that was marked not just by lavish self-indulgence but tyranny. He spent exorbitant amounts of money on artistic pursuits and around 59 A.D., began to give public performances as a poet and lyre player, a significant breach of etiquette for a member of the ruling class.

When Burrus died and Seneca retired in the year 62, Nero divorced Octavia and had her killed, then married Poppaea. Around this time accusations of treason against Nero and the Senate began to surface, and Nero began to react harshly to any form of perceived disloyalty or criticism. One army commander was executed for badmouthing him at a party; another politician was exiled for writing a book that made negative remarks about the Senate. Other rivals were executed in the ensuing years, allowing Nero to reduce opposition and consolidate his power.

The Great Fire

By 64, the scandalous nature of Nero’s artistic antics may have begun to cause controversy, but the public’s attention was diverted by the Great Fire. The fire began in stores at the southeastern end of the Circus Maximus and ravaged Rome for 10 days, decimating 75 percent of the city. Although accidental fires were common at the time, many Romans believed Nero started the fire to make room for his planned villa, the Domus Aurea. Whether or not Nero started the fire, he determined that a guilty party must be found, and he pointed the finger at the Christians, still a new and underground religion. With this accusation, persecution and torture of the Christians began in Rome.

Political Demise and Death

After the Great Fire, Nero resumed plans for the Domus Aurea. In order to finance this project, Nero needed money and set about to get it however he pleased. He sold positions in public office to the highest bidder, increased taxes and took money from the temples. He devalued currency and reinstituted policies to confiscate property in cases of suspected treason.

These new policies resulted in the Pisonian conspiracy, a plot formed in 65 by Gaius Calpurnius Piso, an aristocrat, along with knights, senators, poets and Nero's former mentor, Seneca. They planned to assassinate Nero and crown Piso the ruler of Rome. The plan was discovered, however, and the leading conspirators, as well as many other wealthy Romans, were executed.

Just three years later, in March 68, the governor Gaius Julius Vindex rebelled against Nero's tax policies. He recruited another governor, Servius Sulpicius Galba, to join him and to declare himself emperor. While these forces were defeated and Galba was declared a public enemy, support for him increased, despite his categorization as a public enemy. Even Nero’s own bodyguards defected in support of Galba.

Fearing that his demise was imminent, Nero fled. He planned to head east, where many provinces were still loyal to him, but had to abandon the plan after his officers refused to obey him. He returned to his palace, but his guards and friends had left. He ultimately received word that the Senate had condemned him to death by beating and so he decided to commit suicide. Unable to carry out the deed by himself, however, his secretary, Epaphroditos, assisted him. As he died, Nero was said to have exclaimed, ‘What an artist dies in me!' He was the last of the Julio-Claudian emperors.

____________________

Indeed, the similarities are not only frightening, but uncanny. And like all tyrants to ever rule as absolutists throughout human history, Nero fell. He committed suicide once it was clear that if he did not, he would be done in by his enemies. If John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the Chicago Mafia should one choose to believe the hitman named James Files who claims to have fired the single bullet which killed him for obstruction of the corrupt organized crime and labor bosses, should one consider that one day, Obama might meet his demise that bullet's edge in the same light? After all, the Secret Service recently admitted that 40 instances of White House fence jumpers have occurred and were kept mum to the media. While on vacation in Martha's Vineyard, SWAT Team forces likely from Boston accompanied the Secret Service as part of the Obama family's security detail.

II. The Democratic Party and Orwellianism: All Animals are Equal, But Some Animals are More Equal than Others

"A house divided against itself cannot stand."
- Abraham Lincoln

"I have a dream that one day my four children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

For nearly a century and a half, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) has demonstrated its evil through intolerance of all to which it hates, among such peoples being the black community and Jews. Today, the white community is under attack for being guilty by dent of its skin color, and of more than 400 years of "white privilege" by our own government, which has successfully manufactured a socialist United States of America. How better could they achieve their goal of destroying popular sovereignty through Marxist-style class warfare than to employ The New York Times, who just metaphorically lynched Sgt. Darren Wilson for doing his duty as a police officer by placing in their newspaper his home address and information so that the rabid subhuman mongrels in Ferguson, MO can track him down and slaughter he and his family?

There was never any intent upon the rioters in Ferguson to stand down if the grand jury had decided to indict him. They were intent upon one goal only, which was to slaughter as many American citizens who were white, who shared his race and skin color with Wilson as a symbolic gesture that anarchy through far left-wing Jacobin designs would render social justice. Having spoken with several dear friends who are part of the black community, all of them share this common theme, that America is one nation under God. This includes one former NFL player, Albert Haynesworth, who has turned around his life after many years where he had lost his way, as he once was married to a dear friend of mine from high school. I have also spoken to others, also black, who declared that they have no intention of seeking an end to racial class warfare because then their cause is lost. Sadly, not only has Ferguson, MO proven that racial class warfare is a dead end street leading deeper into government's plantation, the Obama administration has usurped the role as both Jim Crow and Simon Legree while Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson continue to demonstrate how they sold them down river to the worst slavery they will ever know.

If conservative black Americans like Sen. Tim Scott, who is the first popularly-elected U.S. Senator to win such an election of his race from the South, and Congresswoman-elect Mia Love from Utah as the first black female elected to her position in the GOP's history are considered "Uncle Toms" because "They are not black enough" by the Democratic Party as a whole, the black supremacists in the civil rights Politburo and finally those who suffer the most living in squalor amid morbid poverty, than America I fear has been lost because the house is divided in full.

I originally replied on my Facebook page this very commentary to an interview former U.S. Rep. Allen West, Ret. Col. U.S. Army, discussed on Fox News on the subject of Ferguson. I want to share with you what it is Col. West stated, a man who also attended the University of Tennessee just as I did and who could just as easily play the race card by a feckless declaration that he is a victim to history.

I have the utmost respect for Col. West and am ashamed that the Democrats used a common military tactic for interrogation as a show of violence against the Islamic jihadists by an Uncle Tom member of the black community. If I were to compare what we are being forced to witness across the nation today, this likely will metastasize into the American cover of the United Kingdom's Winter of Discontent of 1978/9. Rioting diffused overnight to large cities nationally, including protests just last night in downtown Knoxville and in Nashville about three hours to my west on I-40. The danger with the Ferguson protests is far worse than what Britain faced leading into the Thatcher Government in 1979, as multiple left-wing, communist, anarchists and yes, Islamic terrorist groups have deployed their minions to participate in what could destroy this nation. Why this will be worse than the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s-60s is due to the unending media coverage sensationalizing class warfare and guiding the left-wing lunatic fringe into acting dangerously as if mob rule is their mandate.

III. If Black Americans are Conservatives, Socialists Will Never Consider Them "True Blacks"

From 1863 through the 1968 elections, the issue of civil rights was dominated by the GOP. Insidiously, President Lyndon B. Johnson, a virulent racist with a track record that is an indictment upon his own character, signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1965, effectively ceding the South to the GOP while brokering the unholy partnership with Northerners who are still far more racist than any social contingent where I reside. His distrust of Martin Luther King, Jr. is noted today when one understands LBJ ordered the FBI to tap MLK's phones and to spy on him. Margaret Sanger, the whore of Babylon and supreme heroine of militant feminism nationally, might have been the most virulent racist in American history as she not only wanted to exterminated among others, "the unfit" black peoples of the world, but "morons", "human weeds" and many, many others. Having checked each quote to verify their authenticity, I want you each to read for just a moment what both LBJ and Sanger stated that doomed the black community to government's design to exterminate them through medical and social eugenics.

Margaret Sanger truly was a libertine type, marrying wealthy men to achieve her goals while sleeping promiscuously with multiple partners at a time. She also associated herself with the New Jersey women's KKK chapter, which you may find below as well.

Socialists would not approve how in this photograph, Sanger is delivering her speech before the KKK chapter of Silver Lake, NJ, which comprised of women. It would be, in echoing Al Gore, "an inconvenient truth" to demonstrate to the world that aborting the unborn child is not at all an act of compassion, but the intention of population control through mankind's racial selectivity. 

The next one only proves she did not preclude all other races from her uncanny bigotry, treachery and deceit through her public persona:

There can be no doubt then that among the iconic figures of the radical American left-wing, Sanger may have set the standard for what would be to come. If anyone ever doubts that the Democratic Party is no longer the same one which fought to maintain the peculiar institution of slavery and manifested the enigma of Jim Crow, President Obama is the most emblematic of the Sanger legacy of any other politician in American history. The trouble therein lies in how he can conceal his true intentions as a man who claims he is what some today would claim as a racist term, a mulatto, or what political correctness today demand to be referred to as "of mixed race".

There should not be any question as to why Democrats grow virulently offended and taken aback by black men and women who are conservatives. This hearkens to the party's heritage predating the Civil War to the Age of Jackson. It always has declared itself as the party catering to "the common man", but that term has always been the most malleable, duplicitous term in the nation's political history. There are three videos I wish to present that demonstrate why conservative blacks who refuse to yield to socialist repression of compulsory votes for Democrats or face the wrath of the mass left-wing dominated media.

The first video is of Tim Scott on MSNBC. It is a beautiful answer from a man who is a true progressive, not a politician regressing to an American dominated by Jim Crow and a Confederacy bent upon maintaining its peculiar institution or to negate the rule of law and secede from the Union.

Mia Love, the congresswoman-elect from Utah, has faced far worse racism by socialists than even Sen. Scott, the South's first elected U.S. Senator. It is atrocious what she is enduring, a woman married to a white man, which has grown into a very hypocritical issue of consternation by Democrats. 

You cannot teach class to people beyond a point of no return. Class is a trait instilled by one's parents. Dodging on multiple occasions questions of her race by speaking upon the core issues we conservatives champion - smaller government, lower taxes and a governing body which answers to we the people - she and Sen. Scott best exemplify the great movement that our generation born and raised during the Reagan Revolution now exemplify. We were the first who by history's gift of our birth to reject racism institutionally. No one must ever kill another due to his or her skin, to target by race or creed and gender or to govern under the socialist duplicity of societal unity through demographic partitions. 

Why then must the left-wing radicals continue to denounce black conservatives for their right to choice? It is because under socialism, the right to choose for the individual is not permitted. It is therefore why I choose to include Dr. King's epic speech from 28 August 1963, "I Have a Dream". Dr. King wanted peace; Al Sharpton and Barack Obama are cashing in by hedging their bets that through violence, Atlas will be forced to shrug.

IV. A Stern Warning by James Madison from Beyond the Open Grave

Most Americans with any breadth of historical knowledge understand that James Madison (1756-36) was not only our fourth president of the United States (1809-17), but the principle "Father of the Constitution". He also served under the pseudonym PUBLIUS as one of the three founders who authored The Federalist Papers. Perhaps no other American of yesterday will ever better echo the dangers we have breached than those which "The Great Little Madison" warned. This piece, Federal Papers No. 56, may perhaps have foretold the fall of our shining city upon a hill.

The Structure of the Government Must Furnish the Proper Checks and Balances Between the Different Departments

Independent Journal

Wednesday, February 6, 1788

[James Madison]

To the People of the State of New York:

TO WHAT expedient, then, shall we finally resort, for maintaining in practice the necessary partition of power among the several departments, as laid down in the Constitution? The only answer that can be given is, that as all these exterior provisions are found to be inadequate, the defect must be supplied, by so contriving the interior structure of the government as that its several constituent parts may, by their mutual relations, be the means of keeping each other in their proper places. Without presuming to undertake a full development of this important idea, I will hazard a few general observations, which may perhaps place it in a clearer light, and enable us to form a more correct judgment of the principles and structure of the government planned by the convention. 

In order to lay a due foundation for that separate and distinct exercise of the different powers of government, which to a certain extent is admitted on all hands to be essential to the preservation of liberty, it is evident that each department should have a will of its own; and consequently should be so constituted that the members of each should have as little agency as possible in the appointment of the members of the others. Were this principle rigorously adhered to, it would require that all the appointments for the supreme executive, legislative, and judiciary magistracies should be drawn from the same fountain of authority, the people, through channels having no communication whatever with one another. Perhaps such a plan of constructing the several departments would be less difficult in practice than it may in contemplation appear. Some difficulties, however, and some additional expense would attend the execution of it. Some deviations, therefore, from the principle must be admitted. In the constitution of the judiciary department in particular, it might be inexpedient to insist rigorously on the principle: first, because peculiar qualifications being essential in the members, the primary consideration ought to be to select that mode of choice which best secures these qualifications; secondly, because the permanent tenure by which the appointments are held in that department, must soon destroy all sense of dependence on the authority conferring them. 

It is equally evident, that the members of each department should be as little dependent as possible on those of the others, for the emoluments annexed to their offices. Were the executive magistrate, or the judges, not independent of the legislature in this particular, their independence in every other would be merely nominal.

But the great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department, consists in giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others. The provision for defense must in this, as in all other cases, be made commensurate to the danger of attack. Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.

This policy of supplying, by opposite and rival interests, the defect of better motives, might be traced through the whole system of human affairs, private as well as public. We see it particularly displayed in all the subordinate distributions of power, where the constant aim is to divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that each may be a check on the other -- that the private interest of every individual may be a sentinel over the public rights. These inventions of prudence cannot be less requisite in the distribution of the supreme powers of the State.

But it is not possible to give to each department an equal power of self-defense. In republican government, the legislative authority necessarily predominates. The remedy for this inconveniency is to divide the legislature into different branches; and to render them, by different modes of election and different principles of action, as little connected with each other as the nature of their common functions and their common dependence on the society will admit. It may even be necessary to guard against dangerous encroachments by still further precautions. As the weight of the legislative authority requires that it should be thus divided, the weakness of the executive may require, on the other hand, that it should be fortified. An absolute negative on the legislature appears, at first view, to be the natural defense with which the executive magistrate should be armed. But perhaps it would be neither altogether safe nor alone sufficient. On ordinary occasions it might not be exerted with the requisite firmness, and on extraordinary occasions it might be perfidiously abused. May not this defect of an absolute negative be supplied by some qualified connection between this weaker department and the weaker branch of the stronger department, by which the latter may be led to support the constitutional rights of the former, without being too much detached from the rights of its own department?

If the principles on which these observations are founded be just, as I persuade myself they are, and they be applied as a criterion to the several State constitutions, and to the federal Constitution it will be found that if the latter does not perfectly correspond with them, the former are infinitely less able to bear such a test.

There are, moreover, two considerations particularly applicable to the federal system of America, which place that system in a very interesting point of view.

First. In a single republic, all the power surrendered by the people is submitted to the administration of a single government; and the usurpations are guarded against by a division of the government into distinct and separate departments. In the compound republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments, and then the portion allotted to each subdivided among distinct and separate departments. Hence a double security arises to the rights of the people. The different governments will control each other, at the same time that each will be controlled by itself.

Second. It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers, but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. Different interests necessarily exist in different classes of citizens. If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure. There are but two methods of providing against this evil: the one by creating a will in the community independent of the majority -- that is, of the society itself; the other, by comprehending in the society so many separate descriptions of citizens as will render an unjust combination of a majority of the whole very improbable, if not impracticable. The first method prevails in all governments possessing an hereditary or self-appointed authority. This, at best, is but a precarious security; because a power independent of the society may as well espouse the unjust views of the major, as the rightful interests of the minor party, and may possibly be turned against both parties. The second method will be exemplified in the federal republic of the United States. Whilst all authority in it will be derived from and dependent on the society, the society itself will be broken into so many parts, interests, and classes of citizens, that the rights of individuals, or of the minority, will be in little danger from interested combinations of the majority. In a free government the security for civil rights must be the same as that for religious rights. It consists in the one case in the multiplicity of interests, and in the other in the multiplicity of sects. The degree of security in both cases will depend on the number of interests and sects; and this may be presumed to depend on the extent of country and number of people comprehended under the same government. This view of the subject must particularly recommend a proper federal system to all the sincere and considerate friends of republican government, since it shows that in exact proportion as the territory of the Union may be formed into more circumscribed Confederacies, or States oppressive combinations of a majority will be facilitated: the best security, under the republican forms, for the rights of every class of citizens, will be diminished: and consequently the stability and independence of some member of the government, the only other security, must be proportionately increased. Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit. In a society under the forms of which the stronger faction can readily unite and oppress the weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in a state of nature, where the weaker individual is not secured against the violence of the stronger; and as, in the latter state, even the stronger individuals are prompted, by the uncertainty of their condition, to submit to a government which may protect the weak as well as themselves; so, in the former state, will the more powerful factions or parties be gradnally induced, by a like motive, to wish for a government which will protect all parties, the weaker as well as the more powerful. It can be little doubted that if the State of Rhode Island was separated from the Confederacy and left to itself, the insecurity of rights under the popular form of government within such narrow limits would be displayed by such reiterated oppressions of factious majorities that some power altogether independent of the people would soon be called for by the voice of the very factions whose misrule had proved the necessity of it. In the extended republic of the United States, and among the great variety of interests, parties, and sects which it embraces, a coalition of a majority of the whole society could seldom take place on any other principles than those of justice and the general good; whilst there being thus less danger to a minor from the will of a major party, there must be less pretext, also, to provide for the security of the former, by introducing into the government a will not dependent on the latter, or, in other words, a will independent of the society itself. It is no less certain than it is important, notwithstanding the contrary opinions which have been entertained, that the larger the society, provided it lie within a practical sphere, the more duly capable it will be of self-government. And happily for the republican cause, the practicable sphere may be carried to a very great extent, by a judicious modification and mixture of the federal principle.

During a time where America, like many other Western nations, still legalized slavery, such a tide was rising that rejected this scourge of human history. Slavery may be traced as far into the history of world civilizations as one dares to undertake, and no matter the purpose, one man or woman can never own the life of another and rule as a just governor. Upon the Missouri issues of balancing slave states with their free state counterparts some 10 years following his retirement from politics, Thomas Jefferson, by now a very old man retired to his home at Monticello, wrote the following in one of his 18,000 letters to John Holmes, dated April 22 1820. (Courtesy of The Library of Congress)

Monticello Apr. 22. 20.

I thank you, Dear Sir, for the copy you have been so kind as to send me of the letter to your constituents on the Missouri question. it is a perfect justification to them. I had for a long time ceased to read the newspapers or pay any attention to public affairs, confident they were in good hands, and content to be a passenger in our bark to the shore from which I am not distant. but this momentous question, like a fire bell in the night, awakened and filled me with terror. I considered it at once as the knell of the Union. it is hushed indeed for the moment. but this is a reprieve only, not a final sentence. a geographical line, coinciding with a marked principle, moral and political, once concieved and held up to the angry passions of men, will never be obliterated; and every new irritation will mark it deeper and deeper. I can say with conscious truth that there is not a man on earth who would sacrifice more than I would, to relieve us from this heavy reproach, in any practicable way. the cession of that kind of property, for so it is misnamed, is a bagatelle which would not cost me in a second thought, if, in that way, a general emancipation and expatriation could be effected: and, gradually, and with due sacrifices, I think it might be. but, as it is, we have the wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go. justice is in one scale, and self-preservation in the other. of one thing I am certain, that as the passage of slaves from one state to another would not make a slave of a single human being who would not be so without it, so their diffusion over a greater surface would make them individually happier and proportionally facilitate the accomplishment of their emancipation, by dividing the burthen on a greater number of co-adjutors. an abstinence too from this act of power would remove the jealousy excited by the undertaking of Congress, to regulate the condition of the different descriptions of men composing a state. this certainly is the exclusive right of every state, which nothing in the constitution has taken from them and given to the general government. could congress, for example say that the Non-freemen of Connecticut, shall be freemen, or that they shall not emigrate into any other state?

I regret that I am now to die in the belief that the useless sacrifice of themselves, by the generation of $76. to acquire self government and happiness to their country, is to be thrown away by the unwise and unworthy passions of their sons, and that my only consolation is to be that I live not to weep over it. if they would but dispassionately weigh the blessings they will throw away against an abstract principle more likely to be effected by union than by scission, they would pause before they would perpetrate this act of suicide on themselves and of treason against the hopes of the world.

to yourself as the faithful advocate of union I tender the offering of my high esteem and respect. Th. Jefferson

___________________

There have been three separate but equal generations in American history which sacrificed all so that their progeny could have liberty. Liberty is not democracy; mob rule by anarchy like we watch to our horror in Ferguson and now even in my hometown of Knoxville, TN at this moment threatens to disquiet the peace for many decades to come. Progress in liberating our continent from our British masters, to fight a civil war and emancipate slaves and to finally prevent global annihilation by the same generation who won World War II and defeated Soviet communism are now threatened in multiple facets for the American people, but none so great as the one where we devour our own people due to racial prejudices and manufactured class warfare. With the rise of the Islamic State's caliphate and as Russia and China consummate their political entente, the currency is being devalued and the global economy threatens to collapses unless dire measures are undertaken soon, will it be my generation which, in Teddy Roosevelt's most famous phrase, "speak(s) softly and carr(ies) a big stick"? Or will America be the catalyst to the dying British Empire's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in declaring ignominiously that "there is peace in our time"? Composing oneself from the position of strength will at least provide hope that a better solution is at hand; appeasement only rewards evil men and women per the governors' ignorance of the times by ceding away the world before their own turf is swept away with them on top. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher won the Cold War not because of a final catastrophic global war where "us" kill "them", but through the Barry Goldwater phrase "peace through strength". 

I again want to reiterate why I am proud to say I am an  American citizen born on June 15, 1981, some five months into the Reagan presidency. When I was delivered, America reeled from a period of incompetence in our government, the expansion of Soviet communism and for the first time in modern history, the rise of radical Islam. The economy was the worst it had ever been, on par at least with the Great Depression, during the phenomenon history calls stagflation. America was a nation having accepted defeatism, living with the mentality that the Soviet Union had transcended human liberty in establishing itself as the most powerful nation on Earth. But history teaches us that with every crisis of confidence, brave men and women rise to the top to stand for those who no longer have a voice as a result. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher did this for the United States and the United Kingdom, and our special relationship destroyed the most evil empire in human history. America and Britain never fired a shot at a Soviet military officer, but rather demonstrated why liberty and the rights of man will always crush totalitarianism and the suppression of the collective through individual opportunities and encouraged innovation that a free market economy will provide that communism never will. It was morning in America; in Britain, time ran out on socialism. Just two short weeks ago, the world celebrated the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the most enigmatic symbol of all that was wrong under communist dictatorship. We preached no manifest destiny, just the rights of free peoples to determine what course their societies should take under governments of their choices. Aside from the Christmas Day arrest, trial and execution of communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu in Romania of 1989, no Eastern Bloc nation that rejected Soviet communism did so through bloodshed. Solidarity defeated the communist establishment in Poland under the leadership of Lech Walesa; the human spirit crying out for liberty and freedom reunited the two Germanys away from Moscow and West German dictator Erich Honecker. 

Socialism failed because the people were united as a mass of individuals, not a collective of empty faces and godless gets. The same is transpiring in Hong Kong today, defying the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Beijing's will to crush its democratic right to self-determination as an autonomous locale. Yet just one short generation has slipped by and it appears that what was achieved in 1989 has now been forgotten. The narrative is not just the same; it is far worse than at anytime in human history due to so many diverse angles at which the evil seeks to achieve its dictatorships at the world's apex. The generation of the 1980s through this past November 4 appeared to reflect those from the 1960s that stood for prescribing justice for all, but liberty to none but a very vocal minority in power. But last month, an unusual phenomenon occurred, where there were more millennials - my age group - who support conservatism by voting Republican, according to Harvard University Institute of Politics.

Likely Millennial Voters Up-for-Grabs in Upcoming Midterm Elections, Harvard Youth Poll Finds

 In Contrast to Four Years Ago, Half of “Likely” Young Voters Prefer a Republican-controlled Congress. 

While more 18- to 29- year-olds (50%-43%) surveyed in the IOP’s fall 2014 poll would prefer that Congress be controlled by Democrats instead of Republicans, the numbers improve dramatically for the GOP when only young people who say they will “definitely vote” are studied. Among these likely voters, the IOP’s latest poll shows the preference shifting, with slightly more than half (51%) preferring a Republican-run Congress and 47 percent wanting Democrats to be in charge – a significant change from the IOP’s last midterm election poll in the fall of 2010 when Democratic control was preferred among likely voters 55 percent to 43 percent

President Obama’s Job Approval Rating Decreases, Nears Low-Water mark. 

Overall, President Obama’s job performance among America’s 18-29 year-olds has fallen from 47% (April 2014) to 43 percent (53%: disapprove), the second-lowest rating in the IOP polls since he took office (41%: November 2013). Among 18-29 year-olds saying they will “definitely be voting in November,” the president’s job approval rating is 42 percent, with 56% saying they disapprove.

Deep Political Divisions Harden Along Racial Lines. 

The IOP’s fall poll finds young whites disapprove of President Obama’s job performance by more than a two-to-one margin (31% approve, 65% disapprove) while African-Americans continue to show a strong loyalty to the president, giving him a 78 percent approval rating (17% disapprove). This approval gap (47 percentage points) among Whites and African-Americans is significantly wider than the 36 percentage point gap in Obama’s approval rating between African-American and whites found in fall 2009 IOP polling. On the question of which party should control Congress, young whites preferred Republicans over Democrats by a 53 to 40 percentage point margin. African- Americans, meanwhile, said by a 68 to 23 point margin that they preferred Democrats running the legislative branch. Among Hispanics, Democrats also fared better, with 59 percent preferring a Democrat-controlled Congress with 34 percent wanting Republican control.

Millennial Interest in Midterm Voting Similar to 2010 Levels; Conservatives Seem More Enthusiastic.

Roughly one-in-four (26%) young Americans under the age of 30 say that they will “definitely be voting” in the fall, a very similar proportion to that seen during a similar time period prior to the 2010 midterm elections (27%: Sept. 2010). Further, compared to the last midterm election of 2010, traditional Republican constituencies seem to be showing more enthusiasm than Democratic ones for participating in the upcoming midterm elections and are statistically more likely to say they will “definitely be voting.” By a significant 12-point margin, 42 percent to 30 percent, a greater proportion of young Republicans say they are definitely going to vote in November than young Democrats, a wider margin that seen in Sept. 2010 IOP polling (38%: Republicans “definitely” voting;; 33%: Democrats “definitely” voting). Others who are more likely to participate than their counterparts include: college students (31% say they will definitely vote), college graduates (40%), males (31%), Romney voters (57%), Whites (29%) and African-Americans (28%) compared to Hispanics (17%).

Hispanic Support for President Obama is Weakening. 

Support for the president among young Hispanics, who just two years ago supported Obama over Mitt Romney by 51-points (74% to 23%), appears to be weakening. The president’s job approval rating among Hispanics now sits at the lowest since the IOP began tracking the administration in 2009, with only 49 percent saying they approve (46% disapprove) – a significant drop from six months ago among the young Hispanic community (60%: April 2014) and a sharp slide from five years ago (81%: November 2009).

Concerns Over Terrorism Exist, as Support is Seen for Expanded U.S. Campaign Against ISIS. 

Sixty-one percent of millennials say they are “a great deal” or “somewhat” worried about another terrorist attack. Women, by a 66 to 56 percent margin, are more concerned about it than men. Among ethnic and racial lines, Hispanics were most worried, with 66 percent fearing another attack, compared to 61 percent of whites and 54 percent of African-Americans. Republicans (73 percent) are more concerned about an attack than Democrats (62 percent). By nearly a two-to-one margin (39 percent to 20 percent), millennials approve of President Obama’s expansion of the US air campaign against ISIS (38%: unsure; 3%: refused). Men are more likely than women to support the expanded strikes, by a 44 to 33 percent margin, but outright opposition to the campaign is fairly similar, with 19 percent of men and 21 percent of women opposing the strategy.

Social Networking Preferences Vary by Race and Ethnicity. 

Even in social media use – common among young people in general – the preferred method of communication differs. White millennials are substantially more likely than African-Americans to use Facebook and Snapchat, and are more than twice as likely as African-Americans to use Pinterest. African- Americans, on the other hand, are more likely than whites to prefer Instagram and Twitter. 

The methodology of this study can be determined here.

V. The Mission Statement for All Americans Wishing to Reclaim their Liberty: Restoring "Morning in America"

Reagan was a populist, but anyone can become one if the will is presence and enough care is undertaken. They called him "The Great Communicator", but in his own words, so eloquently enunciated:

Well, he - and the other "opinion leaders" - were wrong. The fact is, what they called "radical" was really "right"; what they called "dangerous" was just "desperately needed." 'The Great Communicator'

And in all that time I won a nickname - "The Great Communicator." But I never thought it was my style or the words I used that made a difference - it was the content. I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn't spring full bloom from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation - from our experience, our wisdom, and our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries.

They called it the Reagan Revolution, and I'll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the Great Rediscovery: a rediscovery of our values and our common sense.

Is America on the cusp of a new great awakening of the spirit, "a rediscovery of our values and our common sense", or are we being goaded into believing in the voice of the people is "the word", but all we really will be paid is in Fool's Gold? Political alchemy seems to have permeated our world's first experiment in democratic-republicanism, and no one seems certain just what the future might hold. But as I remain optimistic that the good permeates the human spirit overall evil forces, our great movement is just and will be everlasting so long as our progeny learned of our efforts. In closing, I wish to echo Ronald Reagan's Farewell Address of January 11, 1989 - when I was just eight years old - that will forever remain among the most heartwarming and positive speeches ever delivered.

The lesson of all this was, of course, that because we're a great nation, our challenges seem complex. It will always be this way. But as long as we remember our first principles and believe in ourselves, the future will always be ours.

 And something else we learned: once you begin a great movement, there's no telling where it'll end. We meant to change a nation, and instead, we changed a world...

... My friends, we did it. We weren't just marking time, we made a difference. We made the city stronger - we made the city freer - and we left her in good hands.

If we the people succeed as the citizen foot soldiers for liberty and democracy, we will have met what President Reagan set as his standard. He will be in Heaven smiling down upon the American people, telling us all, "All in all, not bad. Not bad at all." God will still be blessing America because the American people will have restored His gift to us as a city upon a hill. Therefore, populism was not just a Reagan "thing". It is the moral right that makes might by a people proud of their families, their faith and culture and lastly, that through diffusing liberty as the right to choice, hope will always spring Eternal because God will forever bless America.

My Very Brief Interpretation of Obama's Nefarious Use of The Bible - the Book He Hates the Most - to Shame Conservatives Into Accepting His Amnesty Plan

My Very Brief Interpretation of Obama's Nefarious Use of The Bible - the Book He Hates the Most - to Shame Conservatives Into Accepting His Amnesty Plan

Perhaps the most sickening speech of the Obama coup d'etat of the White House was his announcement of the declaration of amnesty on Thursday night. I refused to watch it because I cannot stand the man's voice, a voice that when I listen to its tone, is enveloped with nothing less than pure, unbridled hatred and intolerance of all to which he surveys other than his own supporters. I had a brief response to that Friday afternoon I thought you, my loyal readers, would like to read and digest. There will be a like to BibleHub.com with all the verse for Exodus 23:1-11 to verify the account Obama used and why he likely never considered alongside the variable of time, the rest of this portion of that passage. 

Please let me know what your thoughts are, if I interpreted these lines from Scripture correctly and lastly, what your reaction was to his use of The Bible at all in light of the push to Christianity's eventual ban in American society.

To segue into my commentary, I will first poison your eyes and ears with the sight and voice of this president whom I liken to the modern day Caligula, emperor of Rome, and what could metastasize into a Pol Pot form of psychopath, who I consider to be the most evil dictator in human history as he presided over the Killing Fields in Cambodia.

My Response to the Unilateral Declaration of Amnesty by President Barack Obama

Topic: My Response to the Unilateral Declaration of Amnesty by President Barack Obama

Copies of the Gettysburg Address

There were two very divergent anniversaries marked by 19 November 1862 and 20 November 1910. For the American people, it served as the 152nd anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's delivery of the Gettysburg Address following the most pivotal battle in post-Revolution history. While not perfect and indeed, a racist by today's standards, Lincoln never favored slavery, as he invoked the Declaration of Independence's most iconic message of all have the inalienable right "...to life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". The true irony behind the Declaration is how no mention of African slavery is present, but still as time progresses, so too did the American people. The North never claimed not to be racists because they were, virulently so. This was the first major step in declaration of the intent and not the act of gaining the final piece to the puzzle towards "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". Indeed the dead did not die in vain along the fields of Gettysburg, but rather established the precedent for all time that the spirit of liberty is to be cast upon all, not some, nor simply the elite. As John Adams put it best to Thomas Jefferson, the legacy of the American Revolution was realized due to our foundation upon "... the general Principle of Christianity; and the general principles of English liberty and American liberty." American liberty only was declared for those comprised of full citizenship; slaves were only counted as three-fifths per head during elections. The United Kingdom had abolished slavery 31 years prior with the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 through the British Empire with the exceptions of territories controlled by the East India Company, Ceylon and St. Helena. Ten years later, those territories too were included with the rest of the Empire's policy of emancipation. As British Common Law freed slavery, so too did federal law, only it was not the Emancipation Proclamation which did so, but rather the Thirteenth Amendment. America does not subscribed to the rule of tradition with no standard by which to apply, but the Constitution, which was our contract with government in understanding that sovereignty will for all time reside with we the people.

Among the most iconic speeches in American history, Lincoln was not considered the keynote speaker, and his Address is just 272 words in total. Yet no shorter speech has provided the moral fiber behind which the American people are willing to fight sectional divisions by uniting all inhabitants are one whole body politick. No longer were a few a whole and the remainder two-fifths shy of an older standard. All Americans were freed by the actions of those men having perished on both sides. Whether the Johnnys died while the Yankees were not denied, all America was victorious. The Confederate States of America never acquired a measure of legitimacy because not all people were free. Gettysburg's victory by the Union in July granted the right to make might because God so helped their quest to emancipate and reunite the nation. 

Lincoln's speech must be read amid its brevity to grasp how so little authored could be so voluminous in its rhetorical impact on history. Below is the Address, and I pray you find reason why I state what I have, courtesy of Abraham Lincoln Online:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Abraham Lincoln

November 19, 1863

History never dies, but it is forgotten if its inscriptions are lost. We too often are forced to witness government misapply history as if a clock may be rotated back counterwise. Once history is created, there is no going back; it has transpired and it is an absolute truth because the truth alone may set us free. Revisionist scholars and politicians choose to rewrite history because it never serves their agendas to acquire sociological hegemony over the people's stream of consciousness. In Tennessee today, a debate rages over the curriculum for AP U.S. History, a class that I took, earned an "A" and a 5 on the AP exam my junior year (11th Grade). Education bureaucrats want to remove vital information pertinent to the understanding of how and why our republic was formed. Key Founding Fathers and even the Declaration of Independence are either heavily censored or cut out of lesson plans due to concerns over political correctness. When the children of today fail to learn of their forefathers' struggles, they will become tomorrow's leaders with no mandate for the historical record from which to draw. Through empiricism alone may we draw upon our tabula rasa. America will never be destroyed by a foreign aggressor invading the people's sovereignty; there will always be patriots fighting for the cause of liberty that is always just. In the words of Lincoln, though, she will destroy herself (Courtesy of Great American History):

"If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time or die by suicide."

As 20 November 2014 marks the 104th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution's launch, that bloody conflict led only to a constitution still being paid in blood money by drug cartels and Islamic terrorists. Since this is Obama's intent, Mexico and the U.S. may one day become a Pan American state, alongside the rest of South America.

II. President Obama by Way of Treason Has Arranged the Invasion of the United States

Does America exist still today?

Automatic citizenship for newborns of illegal aliens having been presented the opportunity to forgo the naturalization processes all other legal immigrants have must be repealed from the immigration statutes dating to the fledgling days of our republic. If taxpayers will be required to pay for welfare benefits for as many illegal aliens as who want to unconditionally cross over into American sovereign territory, the wealthiest Americans will be by comparison to the middle class and the poor paying a far less intrusive cut into the bottomless cauldron. The middle class and the poor will lose big again due to a disproportionately higher increase in relationship to what each individual on average can afford with price changes with first the devaluation of our currency by the recent restart of quantitative easing (QE) followed by lowering the already dangerously low interest rate from 0.25% to the Eurozone's negative figure, or in essence requiring banks to pay applicants to take out loans, thereby nullifying any true reasoning to require repaying those. Once this happens, the dollar will be worth one day a negative total per unit as with some Eurozone states, the euro purchases nothing while debts spiral out of control, collapsing not just Wall Street, but the global banking interconnectivity in general. America will then have no choice but to either default on its debts - most of which are now owned by the Federal Reserve and China - or to completely reverse course, which means interest rates will be rapidly increased to new heights equitable to the Carter presidency (+/- 20%) and the printing presses engage in QE at record levels of printing "Obama Dollars", which then will result in the dollar becoming hyperinflated as did the Deutsch mark during Weimar Germany's post-World War I economic and financial disaster.

To those who are students of history, the hyperinflated Deutsch mark resulted in the rise of Adolf Hitler to power, promising "change" to a population desperate for a renewed belief in German nationalism and economic reforms, and the bloodiest war in human history. Germany through the War Guilt Clause within the Treaty of Versailles was required to pay reparations to the victorious allies France and Britain, which it could never do. And as the U.S. national debt comprises 106% of total GDP, government is spending more in total revenue than it is acquiring from nation's dwindling workforce being taxed beyond its capacity to pay. Americans pay more into Uncle Sam than at anytime in the nation's history, and while the currency is deflated, debt is rising with very little interest and inflation to compound it. As Greece and Spain are now facing the problem America soon will too as their national debts are more than 220% of total GDP while unemployment totals are at more than 27%, the global economy may one day collapse, resulting in a post-capitalist style of bartering and trade due to America's inability to borrow from the American people who no longer have the financial resources for bonds and securities to be purchased. Civilization as we have known it will cease to exist when the banks are indebted to the taxpayers of the international community following runs on each banking firm.

The Racist Animus of Barack Obama, Live and in Ferguson, MO Doing What Hes Does Best - Organizing a Community Riot

The Racist Animus of Barack Obama, Live and in Ferguson, MO Doing What Hes Does Best - Organizing a Community Riot

Forget Orwell and Big Brother. Barack Obama has been watching us for years.

To Barack Obama and the now-Marxist Democratic Party poised to embark upon the penultimate putsch of the American Dream and her people's sovereignty, if you are not an inner city urban black person living amid Global South-standards of morbid poverty, you are not black enough; you are an "Uncle Tom". If you are Hispanic and reside in the U.S. already, you are not Latino(a) enough; you must be illegally a resident and undocumented, but still earn more than those who are employed. And while the Islamic State may at anytime finally topple Baghdad and is only meeting resistance from the brave Kurdish rebels - particularly the women, who Muslim men fear that if they are killed by them, they will not receive their 72 virgins in Paradise - Obama is not only content with this, he is the Islamic State. Today, it was reported that Kuwait declared the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) a terrorist organization because it has been linked for years to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. 

Yet Obama, in all his delusional mental vacancy, found time to fly to St. Louis to meet with protesters inside Ferguson, MO organize the coming war in the community. This is a page straight from his forbearer in the community organization business on the South Side of Chicago, Saul Alinsky, who employed Marxist measures to organize labor bosses and organized crime to enforce the Democratic Party's absolute power in what is modern-day America's closest example alongside Detroit and Washington, D.C. of communist political machinery. As you might suspect, the results have been disastrous and continue to grow far worse by the day even as murders in Chicago have drastically declined to near-record low rates and numbers over the past three generations due to concealed carry laws being implemented across the state of Illinois from Springfield. 

Barack Obama is more Marxist than any president in America's history. His family members and even mentors in college and the Rev. Wright were all the same; he has also been tied alongside his brother Malik (a.k.a. "Roy") have been tied to the potentially genocidal plans in Egypt and across the Arab League and for the president, he likely launched the Arab Spring as a means to achieve his end. This article, however, will address only the fire he just exacerbated in Ferguson, MO, one where as Billy Joel once sang "we didn't start fire" but which cannot be hidden even if the left-wing media were to try. I received this news earlier today of the frightening details of what is known about what Obama stated. If it is true, he has hearkened upon the true legacy of Nelson Mandela, who was not a man of peace, but a communist genocidal maniac who ordered from his prison cell the necklacing of white Afrikaners in the quest of ending Apartheid. And at the end of the day, it was not Mandela who ended it, but the conservative F.W. DeClerk, who through the lens of working alongside his predecessor, P.W. Botha, understood that in order for a people to be free, the state cannot enslave them by declaring them secondary citizens when especially they comprised of nearly two-thirds of the nation's population in South Africa. Like any communist, Mandela receives all the credit; DeClerk is largely forgotten to have been the other Nobel Peace prize winner in 1994 alongside Mandela. And because of this, DeClerk is considered erroneously to be a racist while Mandela is now a terrorist exalted to the level of a god globally. 

I. Barack Obama to Ferguson, MO Protesters: "Stay on Course"

Indeed, an event that Jefferson might equate to a "firebell in the night" has been rang in as the inevitable, but by the state of Missouri. None other than Barack Obama himself flew to St. Louis to meet with Ferguson, MO protesters in order to organize the calm before his decreed storm. After, what else can community organizers do well if it does not entail militant communist uprisings?

Per The New York Times, the following is provided which Gateway Pundit unearthed deep within that article's details from November 16 (yesterday) which should have us all thanking God the Democrats did not succeed at all in confiscating all Americans' firearms:

In Ferguson, Tactics Set for Grand Jury Decision in Michael Brown Case

By JOHN ELIGON, JULIE BOSMAN and MONICA DAVEY NOV. 16, 2014

FERGUSON, Mo. — Several dozen people gathered in a dim church basement here on Thursday night to share plans for what to do if a grand jury chooses not to indict the white police officer who shot Michael Brown, an unarmed black youth, three months ago. Among their ideas was to descend in large numbers on the nearby county seat of Clayton at 7 a.m. on the day after the grand jury’s announcement to snarl business.

A day earlier, a different group, chanting “no justice, no profit,” met in St. Louis to announce it will boycott the region’s retailers during the Thanksgiving shopping period as a response to Mr. Brown’s death.

Since August, a disparate array of demonstrators — some from longstanding organizations, others from new groups with names like Hands Up United and Lost Voices — has been drawn here to protest not just the shooting of Mr. Brown, but also the broader issues of racial profiling and police conduct.

Now, with the grand jury’s decision expected in the coming days, the groups are preparing with intricate precision to protest the no-indictment vote most consider inevitable. Organizers are outlining “rules of engagement” for dealing with the police, circulating long lists of equipment, including bandages and shatterproof goggles, and establishing “safe spaces” where protesters can escape the cold — or the tear gas.

Yet the most important part of the planning may also be the hardest: how to prevent demonstrations from turning violent. Organizers say they want their efforts here to blossom into a lasting, national movement. So they say they hope for the protests to be forceful, loud and unrelenting, but without the looting or arson that could undermine their message. But they also know that some among the ranks may be more volatile and harder to control.

“We’ve come to the conclusion that we really don’t want violence,” said one organizer with Lost Voices, who goes by the name Bud Cuzz. “We want to fix this. We still want to fight to make the laws change. We still want to raise awareness. But we don’t want the city to turn upside down.”

Montague Simmons, a leader of the Organization for Black Struggle, said there was a growing circle of demonstrators with “a clear message about what we are about and what kind of behavior we are looking for.” Yet beyond their carefully orchestrated plans for a series of shows of protest and civil disobedience, leaders here acknowledge that there are disagreements about what form of response is fitting and whether militant acts might spill over into violence.

At least one group has said on Twitter that it was offering a reward for information on the whereabouts of the officer, Darren Wilson, and, at another point, that it was “restocking on 7.62 & 9 mm ammo.” Law enforcement authorities said they would not discuss individual groups, but that they were “constantly looking,” at several groups, according to Brian Schellman of the St. Louis County Police, “trying to separate the rhetoric from the actual threats.” 

Immediately after Mr. Brown’s death on Aug. 9, protests began. For days, people marched and chanted along West Florissant Avenue, not far from where the shooting took place and, for brief periods, the protests grew violent. Stores were looted, and the police said demonstrators threw gasoline bombs and tried to set fires. The police used tear gas and rubber bullets. Protesters said the police response was an overreaction to just a few in the otherwise peaceful crowd.

Though the confrontations quieted, the demonstrations have continued nearly nightly since. About 50 organizations, including Mr. Simmons’s, have joined forces in a “Don’t Shoot Coalition,” and the level of planning is intense.

In dozens of training meetings like the one held at the church here on Thursday, demonstrators have been given lists of items to keep at the ready for when a decision is announced: gloves, maps, protest team names and phone numbers, medical supplies and a “jail support number,” in case of arrest, to be written in permanent marker on a protester’s arm. Leaders have shared text alert numbers to keep in constant contact.

They have announced safe spaces in area churches where leaders say protesters can warm up and stay clear of the police, as well as “hot spots,” locations around Ferguson where demonstrations seem likely. In another indication of the level of planning going on, some leaders say they intend to carry out their acts of protest even if the grand jury brings charges against Officer Wilson to show that the issues raised by this case reach beyond a single shooting. One more sign of the elaborate organizing: the group Hands Up United has produced its own polished video.

And they have proposed 19 “rules of engagement” with law enforcement authorities, including tolerance for “more minor lawbreaking” (like thrown water bottles) and 48 hours’ notice for the protesters before a grand jury decision comes in. Some of the rules have been agreed to during talks with law enforcement authorities, leaders said, but others have been rejected.

At the meeting here, Derek Laney, an organizer for a group called Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment, drew a fine line on the question of how far to go. He said the protesters wanted to be peaceful, but they also wanted to rouse the community.

Mr. Laney said: “We want to appear strong and forceful because we believe in what we’re pursuing. But we also definitely want everyone to know we’re committed to nonviolence. We want to disrupt. We want to make the comfortable uncomfortable.”

Organizers declined to provide details of their new plans, but they pointed to the “Weekend of Resistance” in October as a model. The acts of civil disobedience throughout the region that weekend included protesters stepping into a police line to be arrested outside the Ferguson police station and unfurling banners inside St. Louis City Hall. In another hint at what may be ahead, protesters on Sunday held a “die-in” that stopped traffic on a local street while they lay in the snowy road as their bodies were outlined in chalk.

Continue reading the main story

Protest leaders here say there have been conflicts, at times, over leadership, tactics and even over individuals. The St. Louis County Police say they are still investigating a report by a university student who says he was beaten after a strategy meeting last week and questions about whether he was trying to broadcast the events. Some protest leaders say he was not harmed.

But leaders say that is the nature of a movement that has taken place, in part, on social media and that does not match an earlier-era protest structure where a single, outspoken leader might have led the way. “This is not your momma’s civil rights movement,” said Ashley Yates, a leader of Millennial Activists United. “This is a movement where you have several different voices, different people. The person in charge is really — the people. But the message from everyone is the same: Stop killing us.”

At times, there has been a split between national civil rights leaders and the younger leaders here, who see their efforts as more immediate, less passive than an older generation’s. But some here said relations have improved in recent weeks.

Some of the national leaders met with President Obama on Nov. 5 for a gathering that included a conversation about Ferguson.

According to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has appeared frequently in St. Louis with the Brown family and delivered a speech at Mr. Brown’s funeral, Mr. Obama “was concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”

Protest leaders said wholesale change was ultimately what they were demanding, though not all agreed on what that meant. Some called for the removal of the Ferguson police chief or the entire department. Others said they want the police to wear cameras; civilian review boards for all police shootings; or a requirement that ethnic and racial makeup of police departments match the communities they serve.

“It must be changing how police and citizens relate to one another,” said Michael T. McPhearson, the co-chairman of the Don’t Shoot Coalition. “We’re calling for police accountability, police transparency, changing how the police do their work. If there’s an indictment or if there’s not an indictment, we still have that work to do.”

"This is not your momma's civil rights movement". How every indicting indeed of how six years of communism under Barack Obama have led to a new movement far worse than any America has ever before seen, perhaps worse than the Antebellum Era controversy over abolitionism and state nullification rights. Today, any opposition to the black community and to the president himself is met with the charge of the white person being "racist" or evil due to repressing the black community's right to be killed by the federal government under that the despicable heading "white privilege". The Democratic Party has for over 80 years thrived upon the very powerful weapon it alone possesses to create class warfare between the "haves and the have-nots". But today, just who are those "haves"? It appears that 13% of the racial demographic that is today's black community own America from their front porch swings in the ghettos of inner cities, and the Democrats will tell you they are the true black community - the blackest of the black - and they now rule by the mobs this nation as emblematic of Michael Brown's mother speaking before the United Nations in what had to have the toughest translation job ever for an English language interpreter since she likely speaks in Ebonics. The same is to be stated about the LGBT community, comprised of no more than 3% of America's total population and of course, the new influx of illegal immigrants which has not fared as well as Obama would have liked since 40-49% of all Hispanic voters sided with the GOP, of which a total of one-quarter of the entire eligible American electorate took to the polls - including those in most states who were not required to possess a Voter ID. How intriguing then that the elections were won by far more lopsided margins than what originally was projected. 

Where does Obama fit in? Again, I provided the above-provided link from Gateway Pundit to expose his poorly-maintained agenda which was just exposed:

President Obama met with Ferguson protest leaders on November 5th, the day after the midterm elections. The meeting was not on his daily schedule. He was concerned that the protesters “stay on course.”

What does that mean?

And why is the president meeting with the violent Mike Brown protesters before a verdict is reached in the court case? 

The New York Times hid this in the 21st paragraph of their report:

But leaders here say that is the nature of a movement that has taken place, in part, on social media and that does not match an earlier-era protest structure where a single, outspoken leader might have led the way. “This is not your momma’s civil rights movement,” said Ashley Yates, a leader of Millennial Activists United. “This is a movement where you have several difference voices, different people. The person in charge is really — the people. But the message from everyone is the same: Stop killing us.”

At times, there has been a split between national civil rights leaders and the younger leaders on the ground here, who see their efforts as more immediate, less passive than an older generation’s. But some here said relations have improved in recent weeks.

Some of the national leaders met with President Obama on Nov. 5 for a gathering that included a conversation about Ferguson.

According to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has appeared frequently in St. Louis with the Brown family and delivered a speech at Mr. Brown’s funeral, Mr. Obama “was concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”

Obama wants the protesters to stay on course?

Unbelievable.

The incitement of rabid dogs already frothing at the mouth for years to kill those of us who Rep. Charlie Rangel himself referred to as "white crackers" within the Tea Party contingent will be bloody. But thankfully, record numbers of firearms have been purchased by all people in the St. Louis area as radical protests have deluged over into the downtown area that had no involvement. To consider that one organization - the Organization for Black Struggle - is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood is the disturbing truth of all, as are the inevitable deluge of the Nation of Islam led by the Louis Farrakhan and the New Black Panthers. Islam is not precluded from the federal government's incitement of virulent violence to manufacture the situation where martial law might be order under Executive Order #13,603, but also the launch of the official Islamification of a major urban metropolitan area just as we saw the House of Representatives and the National Cathedral being required to host Islamic prayers services. In the House, I must add, each congressman was required to bow before Allah. 

On the subject of the Organization for Black Struggle, the first details I will provide are from Breitbart on October 4, 2014:

The cable news klieg lights, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson may have moved on, but residents of Ferguson, MO continue to experience nearly nightly unrest stemming from the shooting death of Michael Brown. Eye witnesses have told Breitbart News that pro-Palestinian and other Muslim activist groups are a growing presence in the protests. On October 10th, a number of these groups, named "The Palestine Contingent," are planning to join a "Weekend of Resistance" in Ferguson to highlight the connection between the midwest community and Gaza.   

From its call to action:

Local groups including the Organization for Black Struggle and the St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee, joined by national groups listed below, are inviting those who support the Palestinian struggle for liberation to stand in solidarity with the people of Ferguson as part of a Palestine contingent in response to the call. We recognize that none of us is free until all of us are free.

The effort is part of a broader protest and direct actions planned over the holiday weekend. On Monday, organizers hope to engage in "direct actions" of civil disobedience throughout the St. Louis areas. The "Palestine Contingent is planning "[a]ction focused on a target highlighting intersections of militarized policing in Ferguson and Palestine."

The "Palestine Contingent" includes: St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee, Organization for Black Struggle, U.S. Palestinian Community Network, Muslims for Ferguson, US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, Council on American Islamic Relations – St. Louis, Palestinian BDS National Committee,

National Students for Justice in Palestine, Palestinian Youth Movement, American Muslims for Palestine

and African Americans for Justice in the Middle East and North Africa.

The details of what happened this summer in Ferguson remain unclear. As the facts of the situation became more complicated, the national media largely left town. Radical leftists, however, seem to have poured into Ferguson in their wake.

The news of the Organization for Black Struggle would likely not be so great a cause for alarm as it is had it not included CAIR, which was declared by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) again today as a terrorist organization. CNSNews has this portion with further length details:

(CNSNews.com) – Two Islamic groups in the U.S. that portray themselves as moderate and mainstream expressed shock to learn at the weekend that the United Arab Emirates had included them in a list of terrorist organizations.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which describes itself as “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization,” and the Muslim American Society (MAS), which calls itself “a religious community service organization,” were among more than 80 groups whose designation was approved by the UAE cabinet and announced on Saturday.

Others listed included al-Qaeda and its various affiliates in Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and North Africa; the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL); the Muslim Brotherhood and several of its U.K.- and Europe-based affiliates; and some Iranian-backed radical Shi’ite groups.

Conspicuously absent was Hamas, despite being the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). Like most Arab states the UAE is a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause.

Also not listed was Iran’s Shi’ite proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah – a curious omission since Hezbollah-linked groups in the Gulf states and Iraq were included.

___________________

Hamas is ironically omitted from the new declarations. Most Muslims support the Palestinian cause to fight Israel; that is a historical initiative one should expect even as most Americans oppose the rise of a Palestinian state that never before existed.  Hezbollah, a Shi'ite terrorist strongarm for the Lebanese government, is connected to Iran, the world's largest Shi'ite Islamic theocracy. Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, now in a pact to fight the West and the Kurdish rebel forces, would be declared as terrorists, but like all Sunni terrorist cells, they are connected to Hamas, who is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood - the parent of the vastly expansive tree of genocidal barbarians. Superficially, the UAB looks to have declared to the world its stance in unison with the West to defeat al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, but through the glaring omission of Hamas, which again is another offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, the motto from President Reagan of "trust, but verify" must eternally be observed since Hamas has already reached out to the Islamic State. Hezbollah, meanwhile, is fighting the Islamic State and soon al-Qaeda in order to preserve Beirut's sovereignty; Iran, again, is preparing for war against both al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. The fact some foreign policy experts believe that neither Syria nor Lebanon exist today could point to why the UAE did not declare Hezbollah as a terrorist cell as they are aligned with the Assad regime in Damascus, another of Tehran's allied nations surrounding Iraq should all three forces converge to encircle the Islamic State and al-Qaeda.

III. Conclusion: The Eye of the Storm Had Been Setting for Over a Year

Amid the furling embers of a raging wildfire from Ferguson in August was lost to most how such an event had been planned, or at least there was a contingency initiative. On August 14, 2014, USA Today provided the following article which perhaps explains how the Obama administration, the Rev. Al Sharpton, the Missouri National Guard and yes, the Islamist organizations have all been preparing to riot once the legal details on Michael Brown are announced... and the federal government will likely be providing them the weapons to do so.

Ferguson, Missouri erupted into a fourth night of rioting following the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, by a police officer. Now, it's journalists who are getting caught up in the fray.

David Mastio and Kelsey Rupp 1:44 p.m. EDT August 14, 2014

Department of Defense provided surplus military vehicles, rifles, pistols to local police departments.

UPDATE: St. Louis County law enforcement agencies received twelve 5.56 millimeter rifles and six .45 caliber pistols from the Department of Defense between Aug. 2, 2010, and Feb. 13, 2013, a Missouri public safety official confirmed Thursday. Ferguson, Mo., is within St. Louis County. The Pentagon allows information on "tactical" equipment to be released only at a county level, so which police department(s) in the county received the weaponry is not available.

Pentagon fueled Ferguson Confrontation

The Pentagon might not have boots on the ground in Ferguson, Mo., where 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot by police on Saturday, but it does have wheels on the street.

Michelle McCaskill, media relations chief at the Defense Logistics Agency, confirms that the Ferguson Police Department is part of a federal program called 1033 that distributes hundreds of millions of dollars of surplus military equipment to civilian police forces across the United States. The materials range from small items, such as pistols and automatic rifles, to heavy armored vehicles such as the MRAPs used in Afghanistan and Iraq.

USATODAY

Police forces pick up surplus military supplies

"In 2013 alone, $449,309,003.71 worth of property was transferred to law enforcement," the agency's website states.

According to McCaskill, the most recent transfer of military equipment from the Department of Defense to small Ferguson was in November and included two vehicles as well as a trailer and a generator. Details on the vehicles and their intended uses have not been released by the Pentagon. Information on any prior transfers is also unavailable. 

A state public safety official told USA TODAY that the Pentagon does not allow detailed information on "tactical" equipment to be released at a police force level, only at a county level. According to a document provided by the official, police forces in the same county as Ferguson received advanced rifle sights and night vision equipment between 2012 and 2014.

There is no evidence that any such equipment has yet been used in the Brown case and its aftermath. But such "police militarization" is just one element of an often toxic relationship between minority communities and local police.

Since the creation of the 1033 program by Congress in the early 1990s, the program has distributed $4.3 billion of excess equipment, ranging from innocuous office supplies to bomb-disposing robots and other advanced technology. The flood of military supplies — along with the continuing drug war and grant programs from other federal agencies that provide military-style equipment — has pushed the culture of police forces far from its law-enforcement roots.

Indeed, the motto of the 1033 program is "From Warfighter to Crimefighter."

So it is not a surprise that police officers often seem prepared for war. In Ferguson, that change is most dramatically revealed in the images of camouflage-wearing police officers with assault rifles, body armor and multiple extra magazines facing unarmed protesters with their hands preemptively raised in the air.

The disturbing trend of police militarization permits law enforcement agencies to view people in their communities as threats, rather than as citizens with rights, reports TheWashington Post's Radley Balko, who has covered the militarization of the police extensively.

Elsewhere in Missouri, agencies participating in the 1033 program have acquired "aircraft (both fixed wing and rotary) and four-wheel drive vehicles (such as pickup trucks, blazers, ambulances and armored personnel carriers)," according to the state's Department of Public Safety.

If there's one thing a community in turmoil does not need is for anyone to turn up the heat as protesters and police face off and tempers simmer. But before a local police officer fired his first shot at the unarmed teen, the U.S. military helped make sure there was plenty of fuel to bring things to a boil.

The Defense Department provided the city of Ferguson, MO itself with $449,309,003.71 in 2013. Why does any small suburb of a major urban area that is comprised of more than two-thirds blacks need with just under a half billion dollars for one year's worth of arms and munitions from the world's most powerful military? For the Democratic Party that dominates the St. Louis-area as well as the Obama administration, what the federal government giveth, it can taketh away. In this, if the federal government can provide a people with their livelihood's sustainability, it can also kill them when it is no longer politically-expedient to let them live. It appears such an initiative as with opening at a disproportionate figure of abortion clinics in poor black communities is consistent with engaging in measures of population control by any means necessary. Dr. Alveda King, the niece of her legendary father and conservative Martin Luther King, Jr., has often stated that the deadliest place for a black person is within the womb. If a black person survives child birth, the government will fund his or her capacity to survive on bread and water until an opportunity arrives to kill and exploit it as white prejudice at work.

My blog entry from August 28, titled BREAKING: Michael Brown Allegedly a Party in a Second Degree Murder Case, discusses how Michael Brown was in the middle of a 2nd Degree Murder Investigation.

The last name for Michelle McCaskill should be familiar to those following politics very closely. Claire McCaskill is the United States Senator from Missouri, and a Democrat. As both are alumna of the University of Missouri in Columbia, they are likely related, but beyond that, I was unable to procure further information. If I find more, you will know.

Just as I prepared to finish this article, a very intriguing and potentially deadly video from one Mike Arman on October 28, 2013 surfaced. The officer is reportedly Darren Wilson arresting this gentlemen for filming him after repeated warnings to put down the camera. According to Mad World News, the arrest was allegedly illegal.

According to The Daily Dot, the following was revealed:

As the Daily Dot reports:

According to the official police report filed by Wilson at the time, Arman was arrested for “Failure to Comply, as he refused to comply with all the requests needed in order to complete the summons process.”

Gawker reports the charge was dropped after Arman showed the video to his attorney, and he beat another charge against him—violating pit bull regulations—“by proving his dog was actually a bull dog.”

The arrest report is below, as well as the video recording. No mention of the Arman's race is on it. If he is black, he is the whitest sounding one I have ever listened to.

And finally, the video.
