Venezimbabwe?

Venezuela devaluation, followed by electricity rationing-in an energy rich country, followed by troops being sent to quell rising prices. Who knew that 10 or 11 years of socialist mismanagent could produce such shoddy results?

Ok, a better question is who didn't know?

So what happens when you slash the value of the currency in half? Obviously prices must rise to compensate, any idiot can figure that out. Except maybe Hugo Chavez who sends military troops to sieze stores that do what has to be done by any logic.

Let us follow this to its extreme but logical conclusion. How long will it be before the only stores left are those owned by government and its minions? Where people stand in lines and hope there is 2-day old bread when they get there. Where the items on the shelf could change without notice, where new shipments of goods are unpredictable.

We know what happens. El Dictator gets on TV and shouts that the Capitalist American pigs have stolen their food, their electricity, their water, their freedoms.... blah blah blah

Of course it was their own government and the morons in charge of it that caused it all.

Stability Police Force/Internal Population Control?

With the President giving free reign to INTERPOL in the United States this country has taken a step toward 3rd world dictatorial status. INTERPOL is not some benign entity that simply helps track down wanted criminals, they are a tool of tyrants around the world. They are mulling a request from Iran to issue "red notices" on 25 Israeli's who help defend Israel from terrorist attacks from Gaza.

Just imagine that INTERPOL could now arrest those Israeli's inside the United States at the behest of Iran for defending their own country from terrorism. Local police departments will have no power to challenge INTERPOL, they'll just watch I suppose. Suppose they start dragging Americans away to face political show trials at the Hague?

Now imagine what the use of a National Council of Governors would be. The only thing I can think of is to help the White House form and operate its Internal Security Force, what would be known commonly as a Secret Police. The RAND CORP has already released a "study" on how the government should set up such a thing.

http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG819/

One of the things they would do is to "Shape the environment before a conflict". What does that mean you might wonder?

Let us suppose that the tyrant, I mean President, believes some opposition rally in Sometown USA might descend into violence or even rebellion, or just wants to cause one for his own reasons. The Stability Police Force could go in and arrest and detain the leaders of this area's opposition, shut down cell phone, internet and radio and have troops in place to deal with the opposition should a rally occur.

The SPF would help cause a disturbance that could then be politically useful to the powers-that-be. I have no doubt that the RAND CORP suggestion is already being implemented as we chat about it.

That is why this blog exists, to chronicle the decline of the United States into 3rd world tyranny.

Various Thoughts and Brain Farts

Bank it!

So Lord eVader, Obama, is considering a levy on banks to help subsidize badly run banks that are in danger of failing. Of course this means we will have to pay to prop up businesses that should be allowed to fail. The banking industry is improved when the bad banks go away and better banks pick up the slack, some sort of bank welfare is a bad thing.


Props

What kind of third world country would you expect to see people terrified to testify in a civil trial for fear that they and their families will be targeted? What kind of people would make death threats and make public the addresses of their "enemies" in an obvious move intending to cause terror?

That third world country is called California and the issue is the prop. 8 trial in which a court will likely, once again, overturn the will of the people. This is what usually happens in California when the will of the people conflict with those of the powers-that-be.

Then again it has also become a common practice in some states for newspapers to print the names and other information of everyone with a license to own/carry a gun. The DoJ doesn't even think of investigating the New Black Panthers guarding polling places while holding billy clubs.

Yes, this country is on a downward spiral into third world territory.

Land of Eng, a farcical territory

The headlines this week out of the UK has been extraordinary. Just a sampling of them should tell us how far down the crapper that country has gone.

Girls as young as 9 found to be forced into arranged marriages (guess the religion)

Boys as young as 10 brainwashed into wanting to be suicide bombers (guess the religion)

A woman who scared off 3 intruders by waving a knife from the kitchen window has been warned that she could be charged with a crime.

The case of the two Hussain brothers defending their family with a baseball bat sees them sentenced to 30 and 39 months in prison. These were knife-weilding intruders who had tied up the family and threatened to kill them. The real criminals got about 24 months. No doubt the violent home invaders were the key witnesses against the Hussain brothers.

Once upon a time Britain was Great.

Blago is "blacker" than Obama?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is not the only one making headlines for racially insensitive remarks about the president.Deposed Gov. Rod Blagojevich is generating heat for comments in a new interview, in which he claims he is "blacker" than President Barack Obama.

In the interview with Esquire Magazine, Blagojevich says: "I'm blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little Laundromat in a black community not far from where he lived. I saw it all growing up." ...

Poor = Black?

Now that is a prime example of racism.

The Democrats lately have been cleaning out their closets and finding their Klan hoods. Someone should hurry up and ask Senator Robert "sheets" Byrd about all of this.

Harry and his light-skinned apology

Nice to see Harry Reid is finally being taken to task for saying, more than a year ago, that Barack Obama was a "clean and articulate" black man. Oh, my bad, that was then-Senator Joseph Biden. What Harry Reid actually said was Obama was "light skinned" and didn't have that "negro dialect".

He has now apologized, over a year later, how timely.

Some people have expressed shock and awe that the word "Negro" is also included on census forms. Interestingly the government uses the word that people have to apologize for using in private conversations. I am sure the NAACP will be holding marches and protest rallies calling for the Senator to step down in shame. Or not.

Apparently Democrats cannot be racist, ask Senator Byrd.

I am sure the apology was heart-felt and all of his racist thoughts were abrogated by the Lord eVader himself. Okay, not really.

Face it, Harry Reid, Joseph Biden and Sheets Byrd are all racists, so are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They get a pass because they are leftwing Democrats and the media says so. Liberalism comes before anything else, ask those thre-quarters of American jews who would vote to re-elect Obama even if he personally nukes Jerusalem. *opinion alert*.

Hoax'n'haggle failure-Health Deform

It is interesting that the failure of the Copenhagen stuck-up morphed into a seeming victory for the far-left over the HealthCare Deform Bill. Incredibly that has morphed again into a bill that neither the right, left or middle are happy about.

Not only does it not contain a public option, which is its eventual goal, but the healthcare mandate will force many to buy insurance who had been planning to get free government healthcare.

Then there is the fact that the bill will force every single one of us to pay a monthly fee to fund abortions. That is a non-starter for a lot of people, possibly even a majority of the House of Representatives.

Despite that the Conference seems to be breaking down over the special deal given to Nebraska, and lesser deals included for Nevada and Lousiana. This could very well drag on a couple of months. Now we hear that Obama is again going to focus on "jobs and the economy" in his State of the Union! Apparently they don't think healthcare might be done by then.

They did such a great job last time. /sarcasm

Forget the GDP numbers, which are ever being revised downward, without including government spending the GDP would have been down in the 3rd quarter. We are in a deep recession. 2009 was worse than 2008 and some say the affects of the housing bubble have not wholly been felt. Oh and I saw a story that said in 2008 California lost 47,000 employers.

California is about a million jobs down right now in the last couple of years. They are asking for the federal government to bail them out or they will start cutting welfare. Welfare. Why not all those bureaucrats? Gay libraries? Ethnic community centers? blah blah blah.

The whole country is going the way of California. I wonder if we have to go through Venezuela and Zimbabwe as we become North Korea?

Bad time lately.

I have taken some time off from here and a lot of other things because of personal issues.

I'll be back.
