On the Edge
On this cool October day in 2012 our country literally stands on the edge of disaster. Our political and social systems have been systematically torn apart by a president and political party bent on total government control. The very foundations of our Republic that have been under leftist attack for decades are now showing signs of complete failure. Our economy and our debt are unsustainable; mathematically impossible to repair under current political conditions. Our once dominant position in the world is now floundering leaving the entire world with a power vacuum that someone else will fill. That is where we sit about 30 days from the most important election this country has ever had.
These statements are very dire indeed but an objective review of recent history will prove them out to be accurate and maybe even a bit rose colored. Let’s review just a fraction of the illegal and unconstitutional acts of the recent past. It is my contention the most dangerous problem we face is the breakdown of The Rule of Law. Without a rule of law we are no longer a Democratic Constitutional Republic.
Rule of Law:
George Washington said: “The administration of justice is the firmest pillar of government” and today we live under a broken justice system. If you are a little guy you can’t afford to engage in a civil system that costs more then your redress unless seeking multimillion dollar opponent killing settlements. Anything less is a multiyear exercise in futility corrupted to enrich the bureaucracy, lawyers, and politicians denying justice for average citizens. The perception that our civil justice system works for those of modest means is laughable.
Our criminal system is even worse especially when it comes to government malfeasance. Criminal trials seam to take years to adjudicate and government officials are rarely prosecuted for offenses that a decade before would have quickly landed them in prison. The most recent egregious examples that show an unaccountable government unchecked and beyond justice are:
- The Fast & Furious scandal where an Attorney General lies to congress and a president enacts an illegal Executive Privilege claim to cover up for the AG and the covered up continues.
- The continuing Cover-Up of the Libyan Embassy attack.
- The dozens of unconstitutional executive orders issued by President Obama. Over 900 Executive Orders ranging from imposing Marshall Law to take over’s of every sector of private property.
- The Unconstitutional White House guidance for defense contractors not to issue layoff notices (required by law) and that the gov’t. would pick up the tab for fines and compensation. This is outright bribery.
- Obama essentially stopped enforcing a number of laws like Immigration and Welfare Reform.
- Obama has a kill list for terrorists including American citizens and has been using drones to execute U.S. Citizens without due process.
- For the first time in U.S. history the executive branch has manipulated unemployment reports.
- Sweetheart Dept of Energy loans to alternative failed energy corporations including foreign companies, many of which were Obama bundlers and supporters ($20 Billion plus).
These are but a few of the most recent examples; there are no doubt hundreds more behind the scenes illegal actions occurring with no oversight and consequences. Most of these scandals and illegal acts are still continuing. Congress appears to be powerless to stop or prosecute them. A democratic majority Senate (that has not submitted a budget in 4 years) has blocked any actions against the Executive Branch.
Worst of all is the press, which has completely allied itself with Obama and the Democrats. Media bias and malfeasance has reached such a level that it has become a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. Citizens have few ways to be aware of these scandals let alone have the Press aid them in stopping the corruption of this administration.
Vladimir Lenin said: “When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward – or go back. He who now talks about the “freedom of the press” goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.” Without a free press (which has voluntarily abdicated its responsibility) the rule of law will die and is dying.
The only hope American citizens have is an upcoming election whose corruption can only be speculated upon and overcome. Otherwise 4 more years of this President will fundamentally transform our country into something that resembles the USSR instead of the USA.

Interesting Quotes:
George Washington Quotes
“Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.”
“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.”

Jefferson Quotes
“Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.”
Nikita Khrushchev
The press is our chief ideological weapon.
Vladimir Lenin
The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.

Review of the World Situation
If you ever had reason to prepare for an emergency / disaster now is the time. The world appears to be coming apart at the seams and in case you were sleeping the following will wake you up:
Social Unrest
World: On the heels of the so-called “Arab Spring” comes the Islamist Winter. Anti-American protests are flaring up all over the Muslim World and are increasing in strength. The map below, to include the highlighted areas are the latest areas where protesters are burning American Flags and trying to storm U.S. Embassies. (As of 9/18/12) The weak U.S. response emboldens even more Anti-US activity.
The U.S.: The left and the right are setting themselves up for a titanic battle in the U.S. Elections in November. The National Press has thrown all pretense of fairness away and has virtually become an arm of the Democratic Party. The real concern here is the day after the election and the inevitable social unrest that will occur.
The Economic Crisis
World: The European Union is on the brink of economic meltdown. Efforts to bail out the PIIGS of Europe (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, & Spain) are getting nowhere and it is only a matter of time before one of them completely defaults. Since this is a global economy this will affect the U.S. and could cause our weak economy to meltdown as well. Even China is going through an economic slowdown.
The U.S.: Our debt is now over $16 Trillion and our unfunded liabilities (federal pensions and benefits) are more than $120 Trillion. It is mathematically impossible to correct our disastrous economic condition and the Federal Reserve Bank has just started printing more money with QE3. With QE3 inflation prospects are very high especially after the failed QE1 and QE2. Commodities such as gas, food, & consumer goods are sure to rise very soon.
The U.S. also faces an avalanche of new taxes and automatic spending cuts culminating in January 2013 which will cause massive damage to the already weak U.S. economy. The U.S. Government appears helpless to stop this.
The Crisis in Iran
Israel is poised to launch an attack on Iran to take out their Nuclear Weapons program. The U.S. has been kicking this can down the road and signaling that when the attack occurs; Israel will be on their own. If our elections oust the Obama régime Israel will soon launch an attack that we will support leading to a potential World War.
What does all of this mean to you? Those that are not prepared are in for quite a surprise. If our economy goes into meltdown with all of the social problems we face now, we are in for a rough ride. Stores will be looted, the Government will squash all in their path, and the world will radically change for the worse. Please prepare yourselves so that we can pick up the pieces and try to rebuild this great nation.
