In Triage Mode, Economic Team's Goal To Expand Fed's Power Trumped Others

•
Washington Post
Geithner asked the lobbyists what they were up to. When they
explained they preferred that a council of regulators, rather than the
central bank, safeguard the financial markets, Geithner silenced them with a string of obscenities: "I don't believe in rule by committee," he said.

Ten Steps To Close Down an Open Society
06-17-2009
•
Naomi Wolf - Huffington Post
It is my argument that, beneath our very noses, George Bush (and now Obama) and his administration are using time-tested tactics to close down an open society. It is time for us to be willing to think the unthinkable - as the author and political journalist Joe Conason, has put it, that it can happen here. And that we are further along than we realise.
Conason eloquently warned of the danger of American authoritarianism. I am arguing that we need also to look at the lessons of European and other kinds of fascism to understand the potential seriousness of the events we see unfolding in the US.

Lawmakers clash over cost of health care overhaul
06-17-2009
•
AP
But the more important Senate Finance Committee announced it would
delay action, as senators sought to retool their proposals to slash the
cost by more than one-third, from an initial $1.6 trillion over 10
years, to less than $1 trillion. Of the five major panels working on
health care, Finance has the best odds of coming up with a bipartisan
proposal that could overcome gathering opposition.

New financial rules: Major changes for big, small
06-17-2009
•
AP
Aimed at preventing a repeat of the
worst economic crisis in seven decades, the changes would begin to
reverse a determined campaign pressed in the 1980s by President Ronald
Reagan to cut back on federal regulations.
Obama's plan, spelled
out in an 88-page white paper, would do little to streamline the
alphabet soup of agencies that oversee the financial sector. But it
calls for fundamental shifts in authority that would eliminate one
regulatory agency, create another and both enhance and undercut the
authority of the powerful Federal Reserve.

dirtyrottenscoundrels
Barack Obama " the opponents of this plan are lying. I am not trying to take over the medical industry with government.
First of all, Mr. President " I am not lying, I just know how you and your type run things that are meant to be good into major problems by piling on.Example: Smoking " first you go from non smoking sections in airplanes in the 60’s to total government control in 2009.
The fact is " you said you weren’t trying to take over the auto industry.
Why should we believe you now?

HR 2749: Totalitarian Control of the Food Supply
06-17-2009
•
Food-Farm Citizens
A new food safety bill is on the fast track in Congress-HR 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. HR 2749 would empower FDA to regulate how crops are raised and harvested. It puts the federal government right on the farm, dictating to our farmers. This astounding control opens the door to CODEX. WTO "good farming practices" will include the elimination of organic farming by eliminating manure, mandating GMO animal feed, imposing animal drugs, and ordering applications of petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides. Farmers, thus, will be locked not only into the industrialization of once normal and organic farms but into the forced purchase of industry's products. They will be slaves on the land, doing the work they are ordered to do - against their own best wisdom - and paying out to industry against their will.

Nancy Pelosi’s controversial marxist connection
6/17/09
•
CFP
Like the president, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not have to go through a background investigation in order to get a security clearance. This loophole in the law enables the president and members of Congress to automatically qualify for security clearances, even if they have controversial backgrounds and associations, by virtue of the fact that they get elected to high office in Washington, D.C. ../.

While meaningless United Nations hand-wringing over the North Korean nuclear weapons program garnered the headlines, the world body is moving ahead with a global conference to lay the groundwork for world government financed by global taxes. The communist head of the U.N. General Assembly is leading the effort, but he is getting crucial support from “progressive” economists who advise the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party. ...

Obama's Anti-gun Record

Barack Obama supports handgun registration and licensing...
I know that the NRA believes people should be unimpeded and unregulated on gun ownership. I disagree. I do not object to the lawful use and ownership of firearms, but I do think it is entirely it appropriate for the state to monitor it. Too many of these guns end up in the hands of criminals even though they were originally purchased by people who did not have a felony. I'll continue to be in favor of handgun law registration requirements and licensing requirements for training. [Chicago Defender, 7/5/01] and more....

CFP
In light of the now almost daily bombardment of the US Constitution by the sitting US Commander in Chief, the question ‘is our Constitution still the law of the land?’ is increasingly being asked by We-the-People. The problem of Barack Hussein Obama seeming not to be a natural-born citizen is still an extremely salient issue"an issue that has led Obama to hire a team of lawyers to keep all information on his actual country of birth and all of his college records hidden. The latest estimate on the fees charged to do so is over $1Million.
