Someone has to tell it.

This economic fiasco (Sept 2008) represents the failure of socialism; the
idea that you can take from capitalists the money to "help the poor." This
principle is a Marxist maxim inaugurated by the Democratic party in an effort
to provide housing for people who did not have the means to pay for that
housing. For the Democrats, it did not matter that they could not pay; what
was important was that the state provided that housing for them.
This is the principle of the Democratic Party who created Fannie, Freddie and
AHF (ACORN) and who threatened private financial institutions and loosened
lending practices which created thousands of worthless mortgages. This is not
a problem created by greed or Wall Street, it was created by government, run
by government, enforced by government and covered up by government. Wall
Street is the victim and now it is being taken over by government, more
thoroughly regulated by government and will be enslaved by government. This
is not a problem of Bush's de-regulation (which means a problem of economic
freedom; deregulation is merely the scapegoat; the problem is socialist
intervention in the economy which Obama says is the solution to the problem -
are you seeing the pattern here?) Today, we are attempting to "fix" this
problem by capitalizing these worthless loans, sending good money after bad
money and making the good money worthless. This ridiculous socialist response
to a failure of socialism will only prolong the problem and possibly forever
enslave every man, woman and child in this country. The terrorists can't wait
for that to happen - they will then have free reign.
It is no coincidence that the original bill that Bush created to fix this
problem, which was rejected by the Republicans, included a provision to
provide additional funding to ACORN which is an organization whose philosophy
caused this mess. I would almost bet you that Obama was the behind-the-scenes
proponent of this giveaway. ACORN is an Obama supporter and a voter fraud organization
(for Obama) who helped the poor get loans they could not afford to pay. The
company was very active in "working" with banks and mortgage companies to
offer loans to the poor. In other words, the company threatened to
boycott and hold public protests against these companies unless the companies
donated to ACORN and offered low interest loans to more "poor" people.
These tactics were the very tactics that Obama taught as a lawyer for ACORN. The
effort to fund ACORN in this bill is an effort to create an organization of
storm troopers to support the takeover of the United States by a group of
socialist radicals bent on destroying the capitalist system and enslaving
hard working Americans for the sake of the poor, uneducated and unmotivated.
This new bill, even without the ACORN funding provision (which they will
accomplish in another bill, no doubt) will accomplish that enslavement.
What we truly need is the resignation of Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd and Barack
Obama...just for starters. These people are responsible for this mess and
they should be held to account. Look at ACORN, its principles, its methods
and the Alinsky-style tactics that it employs, the very tactics taught to
them by Barack Obama and you will know who the real agent of change in the
country is; it is Barack Obama and ACORN and their shady dealings, practices
and associations.
Barack Obama is behind this fiasco and what is happening is nothing less than
a political revolution in our country; a takeover. When are you people in
the media going to get it; that Obama is behind this whole mess and it is a
deliberate strategy. Just look at ACORN. You will undoubtedly
find many ACORN people working in the Obama campaign.
Recently, in an
article sent to me by a friend, I read the following:
"Most significantly,
Penny Pritzker, the current Finance Chairperson of Obama's presidential
campaign helped develop the complicated investment bundling of subprime
securities at the heart of the meltdown. She did so in her position as
shareholder and board chair of Superior Bank. The Bank failed in 2001, one
of the largest in recent history, wiping out $50 million in uninsured life
savings of approximately 1,400 customers. She was named in a RICO class
action law suit but doesn't seem to have come out of it too badly.
As a young attorney in the
1990s, Barack Obama represented ACORN in Washington in their successful
efforts to expand Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) authority. In addition
to making it easier for ACORN groups to force banks into making risky
loans, this also paved the way for banks like Superior to package mortgages
as investments, and for the Government Sponsored Enterprises Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac to underwrite them. These changes created the conditions
that ultimately lead to the current financial crisis."1
When you rationalize the meaning and intent of political action by using
altruism as justification, originally you start with the idea of helping
innocent victims - this leads you early on, to do more and more to fool the
"system" since you have identified the "system" as the obstacle to
achieving your altruistic goals. This is the key to the evil of altruism.
This puts you on a slippery slope and eventually leads to more and more
overt ways of challenging the system until you confront directly the
morality of self-interest which you must turn into your enemy. You do this
by reversing the role of self-interest in the life of the capitalist and
turning it into survival by any means for the capitalist. This is
accomplished through threat of physical harm, threat of exposure to the
public, making irrational demands and extorting donations in return for
"peace." The capitalist, confronted by demands to sacrifice his profits
for the sake of the "good", can only capitulate to the take over. So what
Obama did and said years ago to justify his organizing work on behalf of
the poor, has today become a Presidential campaign based on the very
same premises, methods and stated goals...but now supported by a shakedown
scheme and a racketeering scheme that violates the law or attempts to
change the law so that it can function. This is ACORN. What began as a
supposed ideal becomes a criminal gang making millions through extortion
and racketeering...with the same "goals," the same "ideals," all supported
now by the power that the gang has acquired and broadcast using mass media
paid for by extorted dollars. The gang is better now at doing the
shakedown and it has made billions of dollars that they spend training more
people. Ayn Rand would say, rightly, that the basic motivation of altruism
is not to help the poor but to destroy the rich and successful. As we can
see, that is exactly what ACORN accomplished.
New Post:
I've been accused of going out on a limb in blaming Obama for the
financial crisis. Here's my reply:
Well, the fact that Alinsky is actually a communist from Russia who came to
the U.S. and his goal is power rather than to advance an ideology makes me
think it is more than just a hypothesis that Obama is responsible for and
behind the crisis. You have to ask yourself why mortgage companies
capitulate to ACORN and give them money? It is because they turn the
concept of "self-interest" in on itself. They change the motivation of
businesses by threatening them with boycott and bad publicity. As a matter
of self-interest they feel that they have to capitulate to ACORN. This is
all ACORN needs to take over the neighborhood and the businesses. They did
this to Countrywide. Do you wonder why many companies would never come
into these neighborhoods? They know they will not make a profit there. So
ACORN creates the very poverty it says it fights. Smart companies would
move out of these neighborhoods because ACORN has taken over. They are a
nationwide organization whose goal is to take over the poor neighborhoods
and businesses in the same way the Nazis did in Germany. Their goal is not
to create a good economy but to gain power...they don't care if there is
any good done which means they really don't care about poverty or helping
communities. They destroy communities by means of taking over the people.
They call it community organizing. No one benefits except the the leaders
of ACORN like Obama.
ACORN was founded to advance Alinsky's methods and goals and certainly Obama
learned from Alinsky's books. But the fact that he taught the strategy and methods of
ACORN has to put into doubt that he is just a guy who taught there and was
a lawyer because they wanted his services as seems to be the conclusion in
the media. He had to be infested by these methods and the philosophy, he
had to be a top thinker in the movement, a leader in the movement which
means that the acquisition of power by any means necessary is Obama's goal
and he is following ACORN and Alinsky methods to the tee. ACORN
represents the storm troopers of Obama's enslavement of America; the people
who have prepared the way for his dictatorship. What else could
it mean when he wants income redistribution through the tax system
and through organizations like ACORN and Fannie and Freddie? The long
range plan is to build relationships with businesses that they take over
and through community organizing obtain the votes of the poor and create a
revolution where communist principles are advanced. The whole idea is
self-defeating but the defeat won't come until our society reaches a
tipping point...that tipping point came with high oil prices which made it
harder for people to pay their mortgages and this precipitated the
financial crisis... High oil prices were caused by the environmentalists
(Democrats) in government and the mortgage crisis was caused by the
socialists (Democrats) in government. The scheme failed (socialism failed)
because it defeated itself in its own corruption. The whole idea of ACORN
is to violate the free market by skimming profits from businesses that they
influence through their methods. That is how they make money and that
money is used to organize and get out the vote and win elections by any
means necessary. The crisis they caused is now blamed on capitalism and
they promise a solution that is exactly the same thing that caused the
crisis. They have every intention of
taking over and they don't care that they are responsible for the mess
because the mess is just another obstacle to overcome while they continue
their lies and power grab. Do you think they care that they might lose the election? They've got the voter fraud and lawyers to
ensure the election. Someone is thinking ahead here. Who could that be?
Now, I can't say that I've read anything where Obama explicitly states what
his goals are and his plans. But the basic method of Fabian-style
socialism is to change things a little bit at a time until you have a
socialist society. This appears to be the plan of ACORN and they have been
at it since the 90s. The bill that was passed by the Democrats in 2007 to
establish AHF which is an ACORN program was done after Obama became a
Senator and when the Democrats were in power. They had the votes for it.
But in 2000 an effort was made to establish AHF but it was defeated because
the Republicans were in power. This program is the cause of the ideas that
created our situation. ACORN has influenced most of the major mortgage
companies and by threat (with the help of Frank and Dodd in the government)
they have forced these companies to loosen lending standards. Obama was a
teacher, they support Obama, ACORN people are in his campaign, Obama has
helped them get grants and he has donated money to them, and he was a
co-sponsor of the bill that established them and he (in his demands for the
bill) even tried to get money for them in this new bailout bill. There is
a pattern here and I have no problem saying that he is behind our current
situation. Someone should look into it. Is he their leader? Well if he
isn't then it is Barney Frank or Christopher Dodd but they weren't there
when ACORN was just a fledgling group practicing Alinsky's methodologies in
Chicago. Obama was there. Alinsky was from Chicago and he established
ACORN. In my opinion, the preponderance of the evidence makes me
suspicious...at the very least, the philosophy behind ACORN can be directly
connected to the economic crisis and this is what I'm trying to point
out...that this philosophy caused this problem and that Obama is a
proponent, a major proponent of this philosophy. Socialism does not work;
who is the most vocal proponent of socialism today?
New Comment:
This bailout bill is nothing but slavery for Americans (defeated by
Congress on Sept 29, 2008). The
Founding Fathers did not say "Give me liberty or give me death" because
they wanted a society of social workers. They said it because the forces
poised against them had every intention of ruling and dominating their
lives; forcing them to live as told and to give up their production for the
sake of the King. To say that self-interest is all about lying and cheating
and getting what you want regardless of facts, is like saying that the
Founding Fathers wanted freedom so they could squash their business
competitors and make them go broke. No, they established freedom
(self-interest) so that all citizens could live according to certain
principles that they put down in writing; principles that left people free
to do what they decided (not the government); principles that allowed them
to live their lives free of government coercion. They instituted free
speech, the pursuit of happiness, freedom of association, property rights
and self-interest and a whole host of other freedoms so that people could
decide for themselves what it is moral to do and say - in other words, so
they could live according to their self-interest. Freedom is not about
sacrifice; it is about living without being forced to do the will of the
slick cats and Harvard grads who say that service to the collective is the
ideal. Service to the collective is the problem the Founding Fathers sought
to eliminate because it was swallowing the world at the time. Likewise, the 20th
Century with communism, socialism, fascism, welfare-statism and the mixed
economy are all the hallmarks of forced servitude (social service) of man
by the state. The result was mass slaughter in war, concentration camps,
destroyed cities, economic depressions, genocide and group warfare as well as racism. We have a
choice before us. We either give people the freedom to live according
to self-interest or force them to die for the collective. This bailout bill is the
beginning of the end of freedom, self-interest and affluence. It will
destroy our country while Obama and his ilk will blame self-interest.
It is either Obama or freedom; Obama or America; you make the choice.
