Trickle Down Tyranny (5 page)

Have you heard about the Occupy Wall Street movement? I’m sure you have. You’ve probably run into the dirty little punks who are living on the streets of our cities in “Obamavilles”—the contemporary equivalent of the Hoovervilles of the Great Depression. But unless you read further in this book, you won’t know the extent of the influence of American communists and influential political leftists like George Soros on the Puppet in the White House who’s masquerading as president.

I’m sure you were watching television in the spring of 2011 when Obama loosed the union thugs that are the “muscle” he relies on to create chaos in the streets as part of his takeover strategy. But how much do you know about their role in intimidating voters in the state of Wisconsin and the bankers Obama wanted to intimidate and make an example of?

And are you aware that Obama deprived stockholders of their investments in General Motors and Chrysler, instead handing the companies over to the same union thugs who are the modern-day storm troopers enforcing his will on the American people?

In the middle of this utter corruption,
Newsweek
magazine’s Jonathan Alter published an article titled “The Obama Miracle, a White House Free of Scandal.” Here’s what Alter said about the Solyndra scandal, the one in which Obama gave money to his benefactors who had invested in a green energy scam that was never intended to be successful: Solyndra was, as far as Alter was concerned, “not criminal or even unethical on the part of the administration.” The stimulus money—our stimulus money—underwent “a rigorous process supervised by Vice President Joe Biden,” who “prevented widespread fraud and abuse.” According to Alter, the only reason project Fast and Furious is a problem is that “Representative Darrell Issa, the Republican from California . . . calls the administration ‘corrupt’ without offering any evidence.”

Alter, himself a committed leftist, cites ultra-liberal political scientist Brendan Nyhan, who has declared “Obama set a record earlier this month for most days without a scandal of any president since 1977.”

Do you realize what these nitwits are saying?

The last scandal-free president, according to these two, was Jimmy Carter.

Do you understand what we’re up against when utter fabrications like this are allowed to see the light of day?

The First Socialist Lady

Don’t believe we’ve got a petty dictator in the White House?

Barack and Michelle celebrated the halfway mark of the schoolboy president’s junior year in office with a trip to Martha’s Vineyard. The vacation, in which Michelle and Barack took separate flights, cost taxpayers tens of thousands of unnecessary dollars. Michelle ordered up a separate military jet for herself and her entourage, arriving about four hours earlier than her husband, who flew in on Air Force One along with the family dog, Bo.

This wasn’t the first time the First Lady and the First Kids had traveled separately from the president for no good reason. In December 2010, she left early for the family’s Hawaii vacation at an extra cost of $100,000 to taxpayers.
⁴

Her Martha’s Vineyard trip capped Michelle Obama’s two-and-a-half-year, $10 million vacation spending spree that included five-star hotels, massages, and top-shelf wines and liquors. Calculations are that Michelle spent at least 42 days on vacation from the fall of 2010 to the fall of 2011. She’s been described as a “getaway junkie.”
⁵

My listeners are on to Michelle Obama. Here’s what one of them wrote:

The one event that really did it for me was Mrs. Obama insisting on taking a separate flight . . . and all the cost that entails . . . to Martha’s Vineyard, which apparently only netted her an additional 4 hours more than if she waited and went on Air Force One with the president. If that isn’t telling the American public “Screw you, I’ll do what I want,” I don’t know what is. Of course she’s aware of the supposed austerity push going on, aren’t we all? Apparently Obama has no control whatsoever over her actions. I’ve always been curious just what she did as a hospital administrator that warranted her being given a $300,000 plus salary (by way of Valerie Jarrett) just before the election in ’08. The Chicago way, don’t you know.

The First Lady is in good company. You remember Imelda Marcos, wife of Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos. She set the standard for lavish spending by a dictator’s spouse by owning 3,000 pairs of shoes.

First Lady Michelle Obama is our own Imelda Marcos, keeping alive the tradition that dictators’ wives should spend the money collected from their citizens lavishly on things that demonstrate their superiority to common people but, like our foreign policy, have nothing to do with our national interest. It cost U.S. taxpayers more than half a million dollars to send Michelle and her daughters—who were listed as “senior staff” on the trip manifest—along with the first lady’s mother, niece, nephew, hairstylist, and makeup artists on an African safari that was billed as “government business.”
⁶

Did you know that the U.S. is being sued over this secret “family outing”? The organization Judicial Watch—which has already demanded to know how Nancy Pelosi spent more than $100,000 on her own birthday bash—now wants detailed financial records and passenger manifests for the First Socialist Lady’s trip to Botswana. The government declined to hand over the information, so the organization has had to sue for it.
⁷

About this trip, another of my listeners had this to say: “How exactly does a safari on a private preserve help poor, starving Africans? So they can see what a fat American African looks like? Is that the deal? So they can see a big jet filled with nouveau-riche poser criminals acting like potentates? Was that the plan?”

The Obamas finished off 2011 with their most expensive vacation junket yet: a Hawaii trip estimated to cost nearly $4 million, a good chunk of which will be paid for by U.S. taxpayers. The president and the First Lady traveled separately, with Michelle racking up roughly $100,000 in personnel, travel, and security expenses while the president, flying in on Air Force One at a cost of $181,757 per hour, will have spent more than $3 million by the time he completes the nine-hour round trip.
⁸

Beyond the irresponsible use of taxpayer money, there’s the first family’s attitude toward our country. Michelle Obama revealed with five words just how great her and her husband’s lack of respect—indeed, their utter contempt—for America is. While attending a 9/11 memorial ceremony at the World Trade Center in which the American flag was folded in the traditional manner, the First Socialist Lady rolled her eyes and said to her husband, “All this over a flag?” to which Barack Obama grinned and nodded his head in agreement.
⁹

That sarcastic contempt for everything American, everything truly democratic, carries over into her political views. She’s in favor of having schools feed our children, because the kids spend half their waking hours in schools and schools shape “the choices they’re going to make for the rest of their lives.” She’s in agreement with Marx and Engels, who favored eliminating the role of the family in raising children. Michelle argues that the government “should provide clear, actionable guidance to . . . families on how to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and reduce screen time.”
¹⁰

In other words, her supposed campaign against obesity is nothing more than an excuse to have the state take over the raising of America’s children.

The First Socialist Lady is only another in a long line of wives and paramours of dictatorial leaders, living the high life while she and her husband do everything in their power to keep their subjects from doing the same.

Are you starting to understand what’s been happening in this rogue administration?

Why Do I Call It
Trickle Down Tyranny
?

Anyone who knows me or listens to my radio program will tell you that I choose my words carefully. I do exhaustive research and consider all the evidence. So when I tell you that Obama is a tyrant with a relentless desire to undermine our country, I mean what I say and I know what I’m talking about.

And when you read
Trickle Down Tyranny
, you will, too.

You’re not going to find the evidence of Obama’s tyranny in the pages of your local newspaper or on a nightly newscast. Fox News won’t touch it. Even your favorite blogger doesn’t have this. You have to follow me into the dusty stacks of government archives, peer into the pages of overseas newspapers that don’t worship at Obama’s shrine, and go where members of the Government-Media Complex fear to tread.

One of the things the network news and print journalists have refused to recognize is that we’re heading for a dictatorship. No one understands that when you put the government in the hands of someone who’s been brainwashed into believing the leftist tripe that passes for course content in American’s colleges and universities you’re submitting yourself to a tyrant.

Tyranny starts at the top. The people don’t cause tyranny, their rulers do.

The last time the country was faced with having to rid itself of a ruler like the one currently occupying the White House was in 1776. As part of freeing themselves from the rule of the British king, America’s Founding Fathers compiled a long list of what makes a tyrant and what constitutes tyrannical abuses.

As I go through that list in 2011, I find that Obama has committed many of the abuses catalogued in the Declaration of Independence.

The only thing he hasn’t done is hire Hessian mercenaries to attack Americans in their homes and on their farms. In place of the foreign mercenaries, the Obama government now uses tax collectors, environmental regulators, zoning inspectors, and every conceivable bureaucrat to invade our homes, farms, factories, and businesses!

In other words, Barack Obama fits our founders’ definition of a tyrant.

Here is what they wrote:

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. . . . The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

Like King George III, Obama, too, has become a despot, trampling on the rights of individuals and state governments.

Let’s look at some of the words of 1776 and the facts of 2011.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

Through his Attorney General, Eric Holder—who I consider one of the most, if not the most corrupt person in the most corrupt administration in American history—Obama has sued the state of Arizona in order to stop the implementation of that state’s immigration law, SB 1070. The law that Arizonans wrote in order to protect their border from further infiltration by Mexican drug gangs. The law that was necessary because the United States government under Obama was intentionally failing to carry out one of its most important constitutional duties—keeping our borders safe—in order to advance its subversive agenda.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

The Obama equivalent of the King’s crime is this: He has created more boards and special commissions than any other president since FDR. Virtually all of their meetings are
secret
and the press and the public are
barred
. These secretive task forces—which created the health-care bill, climate-control legislation, and many other measures—do not release records of their meetings or in many cases even reveal who is attending them to the public. Yet out of them come far-reaching new laws that give the government the right to control the lives of more than 300 million Americans.

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

I told you in the Prologue how Obama is bypassing Congress and using executive orders to implement his policies. In another move, Obama has managed to engineer the
de facto
dissolution of Congress through his violation of the War Powers Act. The law requires the president to receive congressional approval for any military actions overseas that last more than 60 days. Harold Koh, the Obama appointee who is the State Department’s top legal advisor, tried to get around the law and the Constitution by contending that the then-90-day-old mission over Libya was limited to air strikes and therefore, as ABC News has noted, “does not constitute hostilities as described in the War Powers Act and therefore would not require Congressional authorization.”

Obama’s authorizing his Energy Department to make taxpayer-guaranteed loans to solar energy companies that are virtually guaranteed to fail also bypasses congressional oversight. That’s because Congress might not be in such a hurry to have you and me guarantee that Obama’s campaign contributors don’t lose money on these nearly bankrupt companies.
