AGK: America’s Gotta Know

Here’s a WorldNetDaily article which chronicles an example of the rationing threat posed by any government run healthcare system, including the one currently actively being pursued in the U.S. Congress…

Executive Orders (EO) themselves fly in the face of one of the tenets of our U.S. Constitution, despite having been exercised by every U.S. President since George Washington. In general, it takes a 2/3 majority of Congress to override an Executive Order.

The International Criminal Police Organization or Interpol’s primary function is to collect and share information on international criminals with countries federal police agencies - the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for the U.S.  Why, at this time, would President Obama amend a standing Executive Order bestowing diplomatic immunity privileges upon Interpol, exempting Interpol from search and seizure by law enforcement including the FBI, exemption from U.S. taxes, and immunity from FOIA requests? This happened with little mainstream media fanfare (of course) on December 16th.

As stated by WorldNetDaily, “Anthony Martin at the Examiner noted the international agency (Interpol) now can operate in the U.S. will (sic) ’full immunity’ from U.S. laws and “with complete independence from oversight from the FBI.”

Some of my thoughts on Obama’s potential “true objective(s)” of this Executive Order based upon past actions by the Obama Administration…

1. Is Obama positioning the U.S. for oversight by a “higher order” international government and police entity?

2. Could this be a critical piece of the puzzle toward organizing a civilian force that rivals the U.S. military as he has previously stated as one of his objectives?

3. Is there information on Obama’s purported checkered past (and those of the many criminals from whom he seeks counsel) dangerously close to being made public, such that he needs a vehicle to protect it from ever seeing the light of day? Potential examples, to name only a few, are his radical associations, his true Islamic heritage and the origin of his “real” birth certificate.

4. Is he attempting to control the dissemination of information which could thwart malevolent Islamic terrorist activities throughout the world such as to corruptively support his international diversity initiative (ie. his goal to prop up every nation in the world by undermining everything that America has stood and for which it stands as an appeasement olive branch)?

I suggest you draw your own conclusions on this most suspicious EO amendment, which undermines the Interpol exemptions that were put in place when this EO 12425 was originated by Ronald Reagan in 1983.

Finally, here’s an article with some alternative motives…

Remember when George W. Bush was castigated by the mainstream media when he replaced several federal attorneys who happened to be Democrats (even though Bill Clinton did the same thing to 90+ federal attorneys at the beginning of his administration)? This practice is typical since federal attorneys are understood to be government employees who serve at the whim of the acting President.

Well, the Comrade Obama Administration is taking this many steps further. Their recently instituted policy opens the door for them to terminate any Republican appointed to a civil service position within the last 5 years (the period which NOT coincidentally, begins with the end of George W. Bush’s first term as President). Looks like Obama is clearing the way in the civil service realm the same way he is everywhere else… to be politically uncontested for every statist policy that he institutes.

Here are the details per RedState.com…

Van Jones, Obama’s Green Czar, resigned yesterday according to this WND report…
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=109041

This is unquestionably significantly due to the stories highlighting Jones’ left-wing radicalism that WND Jerusalem Bureau Chief, Aaron Klein, has chronicled for the past five months and upon which talk radio followed. The mainstream media, however, has been reporting on Jones’ escapades for only the past few weeks when the heat from the man’s idiotic public statements became too significant for them to suppress any longer.

Responding to an press conference inquiry by a reporter, Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary, gave a less than confident response to the future of Van Jones as Obama’s Green Czar. See this informative WND article, which highlights this guy’s radical associations and positions including a recent public conspiracy theory assertion that the 9/11 attack was an inside job orchestrated by the Bush Administration…

How does an individual like this get appointed by the White House to anything? Only in Obama’s America, I guess.

Witness the amazing exchange which took place around May of this year as Congressman, Alan Grayson, directly questions an apparently oblivious Federal Reserve Inspector General, Elizabeth Coleman. This is extremely troubling and underscores the reckless abandon, utter disrepect and downright criminal irresponsibility that this renegade organization maintains for the hard earned tax dollars that it is squandering without any apparent accountability.

Washington’s abysmal fiscal management continues to astound while the government prepares to assume unconstitutional control of 20% of our economy based upon their current House H.R. 3200 healthcare bill. I don’t think so. Continue your vigilance at concerned citizen rallies and town hall meetings to shut down this travesty. I hope to see you at the Washington Taxpayer March on September 12th.

Dr. Zane F. Pollard MD, a Pediatric Opthamalogist from Atlanta, has penned his recent past experiences with Medicaid, a microcosm of Obama’s envisioned public option healthcare, and his enlightened perspective of the fallout that will ensue in the medical profession if this legislation is passed by Congress in anywhere close to its current form.

Well, I made it yesterday morning to the second row of Senator Arlen Specter’s Town Hall Meeting at Harrisburg Community College in my childhood hometown of Lebanon, PA. I arrived there to stand in line at about 7:15AM for a 9AM door-opening and a punctual 9:30AM start when the Senator and his entourage arrived. I can tell you from the ground, there was no appearance of a consolidated conspiracy to undermine the House’s current version HR 3200 healthcare bill. There was, however, an outpouring of passion by concerned Americans about the direction that this bill and many others which have been and are currently being pursued by Congress are taking this country. It was not the radical, organized, anti-American “Nazi”, “KKK”, so-called “astroturf” “mob” being portrayed by liberal congressional Democrats and echoed by the mainstream media. It was just average Americans, who wouldn’t even be there had they not been “awakened”, exercising their 1st Amendment constitutional rights in voicing their displeasure with the Obama Administration and this Congress. For this they are being demonized and marginalized despite their numbers, which cannot be ignored.

The response was overwhelmingly in opposition. In fact, out of 31 citizen speakers, only 1 indicated any favoritism at all to the healthcare bill in its current form and/or the path on which the federal government is leading us, in general. A professional colleague of mine, even got an opportunity to express himself (he’s the one in the red shirt, the final speaker shown in the video that follows). Here’s a news video…

The Democrats, however, appear to be indignant and in denial to the reality that confronts them. Either that, or they are just so set in their ways that they believe they can, in partisan fashion, do whatever they want to do due to their numbers in Congress, regardless of the desires of their constituency. Post town hall statements by Specter and PA Governor Ed Rendell substantiate this fantasy…

Specter did apparently, however, take to heart the healthcare referendum recommendation made by one of the Lebanon town hall speakers…

I’d say congressional Democrats had better wake-up. No one can force feed such significant liberty infringing legislation upon American people who have this much animosity toward it, without suffering retribution by those same passionate Americans. My prediction is that, unless the Democrats experience a near-term epiphany and respond accordingly, they will find themselves at a significant numeric disadvantage in Congress following the Nov-2010 mid-term elections.

Healthcare or Cap-and-Trade legislation passed anywhere close to their current forms will be not only a death knell for America as we know it but, as well, the political aspirations of many career politicians. Who knows, maybe fending for themselves in the private sector is just the dose of reality they need to become productive citizens as opposed to the condescending, elite royalty of which they currently believe they are the benefactors?

Are these good things for Americans? The following are actually in the House healthcare bill currently under consideration…

1. Healthcare will be rationed. Yes, it states your annual limitation to be $5,000 per individual and $10,000 per family and covers no preventative care. A government committee, composed primarily of individuals who can be appointed by the President, will determine the treatments and benefits for which you qualify.

2. Healthcare will be provided to all non-U.S. citizens and any nonresident alien is exempt from individual taxes (ie. citizens pay for illegals’ healthcare).

3. The government will have access to your finances and direct access to your bank accounts for electronic funds transfer.

4. A single payer system is the end game despite President Obama’s statements otherwise concerning “his bill”. The government is creating a healthcare exchange to bring private plans under their control. No company can sue the governments for price-fixing, which means the government has the means to eliminate all private competition with no fear of litigation. Businesses will be significantly penalized for not providing the public option.

5. The government will use community organizers like ACORN and Americorps to “inform and educate” people (ie. sign them up).

6. Individuals are “forced” to have heathcare deemed “acceptable” by the government, whether they want it or not, since they will be taxed 2.5% of their income if they don’t.

7. The government will have access to all your medical records and finances and a National ID Healthcare Card will be issued.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The infringement upon our liberties, trampling of the Constitution and imminent destruction of the finest medical delivery system in the world goes on for 1017 pages in H.R. 3200…

If you prefer the abridged edition, here’s a very comprehensive summary that was developed by Liberty Counsel on 7/29/09 based upon review, revisions and adaptations of Peter Fleckenstein’s previously posted FreeRepublic.com version…

There’s no doubt that our healthcare system requires reform, however, what’s needed is a private-sector overhaul with government oversight, not a socialist government takeover of 1/7th of the U.S. economy.

This is what concerned citizens are bringing to light at these town hall meetings throughout the country. These individuals are not the lunatic fringe. They are patriots exercising their 1st Amendment right to free speech, which the government apparently desires to suppress. The lunatic fringe is the 500 plus so-called public servants in the legislative and executive branches of our current government that are trying to ram this atrocity down the throats of the American people.

Don’t be intimidated by the demonization of us concerned Americans that’s being done by the President, extreme liberals in Congress and their willing accomplices in the mainstream, virtually state-run, media. Make no mistake, the government bureaucracy and the consequential assault on American liberties that this bill would create will be virtually impossible to reverse at any time within our realistic futures, once enacted.

Demand that your voice be heard by contacting your congressmen and attending these town halls during the congressional recess over the next few weeks. This bill would usher in a “new” America… one in which most of us will have no desire to live. If you won’t do it for yourself, do it for your kids and their kids.

Be afraid, be very afraid. This is truly that important!

This is a verbatim anecdote which was recently passed on to me. Whether it actually happened is irrelevent since it demonstrates a simplistic example of socialism and its real world effect that anyone can wrap their mind around.

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.
