Story of 2011: The Rise of Progressive Fascism

While many pundits are offering up their stories of the year, Doo Doo Economics is not going to mince words.   The progressive left was revealed as a crazed group of National Socialists, aka fascists. I would use the abbreviation for the National Socialist German Worker's Party, but I know how people have been desensitized to the term.

Over the last year, progressives have assaulted Doo Doo Economics with physical and online assaults to stifle free debate.  It began with physical assaults on my home with miscellaneous objects including at least 2 attacks involving human feces. Google shut down our ability to generate ad revenue through Adwords. Facebook currently does not allow its sharer service to post articles from this blog. Several paid advertisements on Facebook for shirts, books and articles were shut down. On occasion this blog itself has disappeared. Apparently, Google throttles the domain name service (dns) resolution of this blog to limit the number of visitors per day. Twitter teamed up with Team Obama's AttackWatch.com to hide the trending fact that the website was an immediate laughing stock. All of these assaults on speech harken-back to "the debate is over" mentality that devours anyone who goose-steps out of order.

On several occasions, individuals on the left have challenged my facts. I enjoy debate but cannot debate people who do not believe in objective truth. Overwhelmingly their claims against my research have turned out to be false. The crazed brown shirts oppose facts with anonymous entries on Wikipedia, leftist Snopes.com entries, poorly conceived talking points memos and irresponsibly political IPCC pseudo-scientific references.

On fronts from free speech, to scientific debate, to gun rights, to racism, to propaganda and through intimidation the progressives are now a power mad cadre of anti-American evil doers. The old adage, "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" rings precisely for our leftist countrymen.  Because of this, I am going to relate a couple brief parables that point out the ageless evil inherent in the progressive ideology.

Parable One:  The Origin of Satan

Lucifer (aka Satan) was the most beautiful Angel and God's most adored. One story portrays a misguided intent for Satan. The story is that he disagrees with God and believes man must be led to God. Satan does not rely upon man's free will, but exploits it to prove our inadequacy. Satan knows best how to lead humanity (to God). DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?

I appologize for the lack of source reference but this seems to be an interpretation of several verses.

Parable Two:  The Angel with The Flaming Sword

When Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden, God placed an Angel with a Flaming Sword at the gate. The Angel's charge is to prevent our entry back into Eden. The more we attempt to create utopia on Earth, the more misery, death and destruction befall us.  DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?

Conclusion 2011

Our imperfection can never be overcome, to do so would remove our humanity. We are meant to pursue happiness through our own free will. To be forced, or to force others, to do (or be) good is meaningless. We each much choose to do good. That is why we are here.

It would be better if I could at times choose more flowery, inviting words. It would be better if my appeals to  hearts and minds were more persuasive.  Due to my imperfections, my most potent appeal is truth. So 2011 ends with an appeal from the wisdom extracted from the truth of my life.

America is not a place, it is an idea. The last few years we have seen that idea attacked by those who oppose human free will aka freedom. There is no need to destroy America the place, if America the idea of constitutional freedom is destroyed. The destruction of the idea of freedom is the consequence of progressivism. There is only one alternative to constitutionally protected freedom and that is slavery. This is the unvarnished truth and I ask you to rejoin the cause of freedom in all manners during 2012.

I am a Victim of Voter Identification Fraud!

After growing up in and completing six years of college in Indiana, I moved to San Diego, California. It was summer 1996 and I was proud to help offset the overwhelming leftist voting in California. I registered and voted for the Republican Presidential candidate Senator Bob Dole in November 1996.

I had been a life long Republican from a conservative state. In 1988, it was my honor to attend the Presidential Inauguration of George H.W. Bush with others from my hometown including the Vice President Dan Quayle. It was also my honor to challenge the liberal establishment in the political science department of Indiana University.

Despite my voting history a shocking phone call reaching my mother prior to the 2000 Presidential election. My mother was called to confirm that I had voted for Bill Clinton in November 1996 in the State of Indiana. Initially, we viewed the call as a prank, but now that call has been revealed as no joke.

I am currently investigating the extent by which I have been the victim of voter identification fraud. There is a good chance that my vote has been counted for every Democratic candidate in Indiana from 1996 to present day. My name may have helped put Barack Obama on the primary ballot in Indiana.  In the coming weeks, I will get to the bottom of this and my hope is to bring attention to the theft of the American political system.

MSNBC, the Department of Justice and progressives around the country are currently waging a publicity war against Voter Fraud reduction measures. This war is being waged despite repeated examples of voter fraud by ACORN, the Indiana Democratic Party and the Black Panther Party. My hope is to gather proof and present it as widely as possible.

In the last 10 years there have been voter fraud convictions in 46 states. In April, a Mississippi NAACP executive committee member was sentenced to 5 years in jail for voter fraud. Mississippi now has 62% approval of voter ids. Fifteen states currently require voter identification including Indiana. Hopefully we will see this number increase drastically in 2012.

Texas Santa was Muslim Honor Killing

Fellow San Diego Local Order of Bloggers writer W.C. Varones reported on a murder in his Greenspan's Body Count column. It turns out there is more to the story. The media initially did not report the fact that the Texas "Santa Killer" was angry at his daughter for dating a non-Muslim. This was a "honor killing."

Several new media sites, including Atlas Shrugged, are now reporting the fact following reports from The Dallas Morning News. He was also estranged from his ex-wife and, as W.C. Varones describes, financial difficulties had led to foreclosure on his home. The white washing of facts surrounding murder is becoming disturbingly common in America.

Indiana Man Smacks Jihadist with Shoe

Evansville, Indiana

Assault and hate crime charges were filed against an Indiana man for hitting a militant Islamist in the face with his shoe. The charges were dropped after the Judge met with the defendant, members of local law enforcement, a local Jewish leader, local Islamic leaders and Native American activists. The defendant then received a hand written death threat from an unknown source.

The charges stemmed from a visiting Islamist who had been invited to speak at an Evansville, Indiana mosque. After hearing the militant nature of the presentation, he was ejected from the mosque. The militant Islamist then began spouting hate on a street corner.

The Native American activist defendant and a Jewish leader happened upon the wrong street corner and were confronted by the militant man. The defendant had a short conversation with his companions about the situation. At that time the Native American activist threw his shoe and struck the militant Islamist in the face.

In a phone interview question about why the shoe was thrown, a friend of the defendant added, "He is an ex (U.S. Army) Ranger and worked as a mercenary in the Turkish Army. He was married to a Turkish woman, and is considered Turkish by the local (Turkish) community. He knows the culture." In reference to the type of shoe thrown his friend stated, "He wears shoes that can stomp people."

The names of the men involved are not being released for their personal safety.


UPDATE: article corrected for an error.

Christmas Update: On Christmas day, it is reported that as the militant Islamist spouted his beliefs from a street corner, Christmas cookies were delivered along with other items. Although the context may have been questionable, the spirit of "Hoosier Hospitality" lives on.

Merry Christmas to Freedom Lovers

Thank You for reading this blog.  I hope that it has served the needs of we who believe in individual freedom. I will continue to look for important, under reported, and new information to share.

Merry Christmas

Government Takes Over Marriage

In the name of "Marriage Equality" the Feds have decided to take over the institution of marriage. President Obama promised that "People who are happy with their current marriage can keep it." A representative for Americans for Progress added, "It is clear that the free dating market does not work.  The number of unloved and sexually unemployed people has been stagnant.  We can no longer wait, it is time for bold action."

The newly formed Reproductive Services Agency (RSA) will decide who is to be married. The agency will begin hiring immediately. Favorable disposition will be given to existing public employees seeking managerial positions within the RSA. Unspent funding from the 2009 stimulus will be used to establish the agency. The President and his supporters in Congress point to the legal authority to establish the RSA as granted under the mandatory provisions for health insurance and the interstate commerce clause.

"No longer will individuals with incomplete information be burdened with this important decision," according to Senator Harry Reid, "President Obama was elected with the promise for change and it has arrived, finally." Opponents immediately resorted to incendiary descriptions including "socialism", "communism", "tyrannical and unconstitutional."

Gay marriages will be included due to constitutional equal protection requirements.  Unmarried tax filers will be used as the pool of available adults. They will be paired with other unmarried filers and shall hence forth be legally married. Spouses will be revealed upon filing individual 2010 tax returns. Those who do not file 2010 tax returns but are eighteen years of age or above are also eligible.

Marriage is the single most important factor determining American poverty. So this move will significantly improve key economic indicators. The estimated 100,000 new RSA agency positions will reduce unemployment numbers. RSA offices established throughout the country will impact the commercial housing market. Foreclosures are predicted to plummet as single income families convert to dual income due to the progressive policy. Keynesian economist Paul Krugman predicts a baby boom that will benefit the failing Social Security and Medicare systems.

Marriages may be appealed to a RSA review panel. Objections require both spouses to submit individual requests.  Valid objections include non-gay same sex marriages and pre-existing relationships in which a couple lives together. A congressional oversight commission will also be established. Congress is exempt from the new marriage provision.

Kim Jong Il Death Adds Nuclear Uncertainty

"Thus always to tyrants" (Sic semper tyrannis) is my general sentiment with regard to Jim Jong Il's death at age 69. He will not be missed, but his nuclear state is now in a power vacuum.  Markets in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Australia are down due to the news of this death. The fact that North Korea 24 million people have been isolated and repressed due to Kim Jong Il's leadership, adds to the uncertainty. The U.S. dollar is up, as the world's safe-haven currency.

The North Korean leader's third son Kim Jong Un, a 20 something year old, was unveiled as the successor in September 2010. Kim Jong Il inherited power, at age 33, after his father in 1994, the North Korean founder Kim Il Sung. Putting a nuclear state in the hands of a spoiled, isolated, man-child could lead to disaster, as it has in the United States since 2008.

Kim's body will be in the Kumsusan memorial palace in Pyongyang and a North Korean national mourning period has been imposed until Dec. 29. Kim's funeral will be held on Dec. 28.

The Daily Mail is reporting:

"Cause of death: Kim Jong Il ... died while aboard a train on Saturday, and was believed to have suffered some kind of heart ailment stemming from physical and mental exhaustion."

NDAA Passes Senate After Modification

The Los Angeles Times has made the following assertion that the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 has been modified to address the suspension of Habeas Corpus which Left Coast Rebel explained.

The final compromise mandates that terrorism suspects thought to have ties to Al Qaeda and planning attacks against the United States be taken into military custody, even those captured in the U.S. In response to some complaints, though, the bill carves out an exemption for U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.  

The bill also allows the military to indefinitely detain terrorism suspects accused of having ties to Al Qaeda, the Taliban or forces engaged in hostilities against the U.S. That provision specifies that such power cannot be applied to U.S. citizens captured in the U.S.

The actual text of bill that passed the Senate S1867 (now HR1540) after the previous version inexplicably passed the House of Representatives is as such: (look for red text)

Subtitle DDetainee Matters
SEC. 1031. AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES TO DETAIN COVERED PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE.(a) IN GENERAL.
Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40) includes the authority for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain covered persons (as defined in subsection (b)) pending disposition under the law of war.
(b) COVERED PERSONS.
A covered person under this section is any person as follows:
(1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.
(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.(c) DISPOSITION UNDER LAW OF WAR.
The disposition of a person under the law of war as described in subsection (a) may include the following:
(1) Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.
(2) Trial under chapter 47A of title 10, United States Code (as amended by the Military Commissions Act of 2009 (title XVIII of Public Law 111-25 84)).
(3) Transfer for trial by an alternative court or competent tribunal having lawful jurisdiction.
(4) Transfer to the custody or control of the person’s country of origin, any other foreign country, or any other foreign entity.
(d) CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this section is intended to limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.
(e) AUTHORITIES.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities, relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.(f) REQUIREMENT FOR BRIEFINGS OF CONGRESS.
The Secretary of Defense shall regularly brief Congress regarding the application of the authority described in this section, including the organizations, entities, and individuals considered to be ‘‘covered persons’’ for purposes of subsection (b)(2) .

SEC. 1032. REQUIREMENT FOR MILITARY CUSTODY.(a) CUSTODY PENDING DISPOSITION UNDER LAW OF WAR.
(1) IN GENERAL.
Except as provided in paragraph (4), the Armed Forces of the United States shall hold a person described in paragraph (2) who is captured in the course of hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40) in military custody pending disposition under the law of war.(2) COVERED PERSONS.
The requirement in paragraph (1) shall apply to any person whose detention is authorized under section 1031 who is determined
(A) to be a member of, or part of, al-Qaeda or an associated force that acts in coordination with or pursuant to the direction of al-Qaeda; and
(B) to have participated in the course of planning or carrying out an attack or attempted attack against the United States or its coalition partners.(3) DISPOSITION UNDER LAW OF WAR.
For purposes of this subsection, the disposition of a person under the law of war has the meaning given in section 1031(c), except that no transfer otherwise described in paragraph (4) of that section shall be made unless consistent with the requirements of section 1033.
(4) WAIVER FOR NATIONAL SECURITY.
The Secretary of Defense may, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, waive the requirement of paragraph (1) if the Secretary submits to Congress a certification in writing that such a waiver is in the national security interests of the United States.(b) APPLICABILITY TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS AND LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.
The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
(2) LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.
The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States.

The compromise version of this bill adds the administrative hurdle of a signature on a form submitted to Congress. On the surface, this is comforting but substantively this may be meaningless. The military cannot pickup or detain American citizens or lawful resident aliens (without a waiver). 

As patriots we need to keep laser focus as this bill is resubmitted to the House of Representatives. To be frank, the intent of this bill is unclear.  Sec 1032 (a)(4) defines a waiver to allow detention, but Sec. 1032 (b) uses the phrases "The requirement to detain". This language reads like a military order, but as legislation there is a difference between authorization and legal requirements.

I do not know if legal authority for the military to detain American citizens exists elsewhere. If not the case, the language of Sec. 1032(b)(1) and 1032(b)(2) should be changed.  "Authorization to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend..." would be preferred.

San Diego Tea Party Helps Stop The Dream Act (AB 131)

On the evening of December 14th, members of The Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition and other Tea Party groups gathered around San Diego to collect petition signatures to stop the "Dream Act." AB-131 is the official designation of the measure that will divert additional tax payer dollars to support illegal immigration. To add the ballot measure that will stop AB-131 requires 500,000 signatures by January 5.

The California Dream Act allocates tax payer funds to financial aid for undocumented students. Illegal immigration currently costs California $22 billion a year and AB-131 adds to an unsustainable debt burden. Scarce funds should be prioritized to children of military families and other responsible tax payer groups.

The California Dream Act is cloaked in the facade of compassion. Such compassion falls between fiscal irresponsibility and extortion. Compassion does not exist where the threat of force is used to secure other peoples scarce resources in self-serving pursuits.

Dawn Wildman, and a dozen other volunteers, including your humble correspondent, met in front of Walmart on Murphy Canyon Rd to collect signatures. Similar events are being held all around California. Radio coverage from KFI AM 640's John and Ken, 760 KFMB's Rick Roberts and others helped get the word out. Supporters who signed my petitions had traveled to Mission Valley from as far away as Chula Vista and Encinitas.

In addition to the usual Tea Party voices, another volunteer stepped up to talk to the media. Fox 5 San Diego interviewed volunteer Michelle Fitzgerald. Her enthusiasm was apparent and she inspired several drivers and passersby to stop and sign petitions.

One California patriot who stopped to sign the petition made an interesting observation. Some registered voters may not remember how their names were added to the Registrar of Voters. If signatures contain mistakes, missing middle names or maiden names, they may be discounted.  In the future, we could bring an IPad or other internet ready device to review and display this information upon request.

UPDATE: 12/15/11 If you want to help the cause, we need additional volunteers today at 5950 Balboa Avenue at the Albertsons to continue the petition collection.

Center for American Progress: Shut up Conservatives through Election Fraud

During a 12/9/11 CSPAN covered "Presidency of Barack Obama" event, panelists including former Newsweek Senior Editor Jonathan Alter made the case that progressives need to stop the conservative movement through election fraud. Conservatives must be beaten in the 2012 election "when they have 9% unemployment and every external factor in the economy working in their behalf, if they got stomped or even beaten in this next election then they're going to have to" reconsider their beliefs. Alter added, "They won't make that assessment until they get beat.  But they won't get beat if people are waiting for somebody else to do it."

These comments followed a discussion on opposing sane voting procedures. Paul Glastris, Washington Monthly editor in Chief, disdainfully commented that "Part of the problem is that for the average person, the average voter, the idea that you need a drivers license to vote doesn't seem all that outrageous...You and I might know that there is little to no actual voter fraud..., but to the average person to be careful about voter fraud doesn't strike them as a stretch."

Faiz Shakir, Vice President of the far left Center for American Progress injected vitriol into the subject. Shakir smugly fumed that there is "a callousness on the right of how we approach the franchise of voting.  If people aren't allowed to vote on voting day, that's OK with them (Conservatives). Certain populations, students that can't vote, elderly that can't vote, that's alright." Shakir continued that what is needed is to "find a way for them to have voted...the vote is counted and then we ensure that the person who cast that vote was a proper person."

Yeah, right count them all then check if they are valid. I wonder how that fits into the National Popular Vote scheme to use voter fraud to enshrine a Chicago style dictatorship. This is code language to push the message that conservatives must have this election stolen in an effort to demoralize and disenfranchise them out of the system as completely as possible. Glastris drove the point home by suggesting, " if Occupy Wall Street or some progressive groups want to actually have, um, a project, I'd love to see them go and get 8 million people who don't have a photo ids, photo ids by November."

Enter the Democratic party in Indiana. They could not get enough petition signatures to get Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton on the primary ballot. Undeterred they forged the names for the primary ballot and then won the Presidential vote with a mysterious surge at the end. I grew up in Indiana and visit the state often. People in Indiana loath Chicago politicians and there is absolutely no chance Barack Obama legitimately won in that state.

Fox News is now reporting on the Election fraud investigation in Indiana. Despite Jonathan Alters contention that voter fraud "does not exist," Dan Parker has stepped down as head of the Indiana Democratic Party in scandal denial.

Several voters told Fox News that they never signed nor gave their names that appeared on the Obama petitions.

"It's scary," Charity Rorie said, adding that her signature and name, and those of her husband, were faked.

"It's shocking ... it definitely is illegal.”
...
So far, the only resignation citing the scandal came two months ago from long time St. Joseph County Democratic Chairman Butch Morgan.

Mark my words, progressives will stop at nothing to enslave others. This fact will again be revealed in the 2008 presidential election fraud investigation in Indiana. The 2012 election is a clear choice between freedom and tyranny, a choice that the average person is not trusted to make by progressives.

Banana Shaikh: Women Banned from Sexy Vegetables

A Saudi Arabian report concluded that driving is the enemy of virginity, but the latest news is the topping. Handling bananas, cucumbers and other phallic shaped fruits and vegetables gives women "sexual thoughts" according to an Islamic shaikh. The religious publication el-Senousa News, reported the European banana shaikh as saying that if a woman wished to eat cucumbers or bananas, it should be sliced into pieces, preferably by her husband or father, before she eats them.  Immoral and blasphemous carrots and zucchini are also on the list of banned foods.

The banana shaikh was also questioned if holding these vegetables while shopping is “harmful” to women. He replied that it was a matter between God and women.

I, for one, am asking my wife to take me out for a banana shake Va-va-voom!

Global Warming Hoax Update: Little Ice Age Censored from Books

Global Warming aka Climate Change is wrong.  The Little Ice Age occurred between 1500 to 1850 and modern climate monitoring began around 1870. We have been watching the climate recover from the Little Ice Age.

Information on the Little Ice Age is not widely known due to academic censorship and climate change propaganda. Using Google's NGRAM technology the above graph shows how "Little Ice Age" has been suppressed by publishers in two key time frames. First, between 1985 and 1987 a sudden dip in books discussing the "Little Ice Age" coincided with the launch of "Global Warming." This suppression of discussion allowed global warming to get off the ground without typical scientific review.

The next suppression of the facts behind climate change appears during the "hide the decline" years starting in 2002. The suppression of Little Ice Age mentions in books flows through the end of the data in 2008 and likely continues today. The relationship between censorship and propaganda behind climate change is clear in the above graph of book meta data by Google's NGRAMS. 

This information reveals the truth that Global Warming proponents are the real climate change deniers. The climate changed in the 1500s. Earth's climate is now recovering. 


To see the wide view of the climate change debate consider this NGRAM coinciding with the same trends. As further evidence of censorship, consider the google web search results of "little ice age global warming."

Michele Bachmann Kicking Butt!

Today's Glenn Beck Radio program included Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Michele Bachmann. During Bachmann's visit she referred to Newt Gingrich as a "frugal socialist."  Her comment referenced the Speaker's Medicare prescription drug program example of coverage lacking kidney medications being more cost effective than covered kidney dialysis treatments.

“Well, my response is it doesn’t help to have a frugal socialist. That’s really what we’re talking about is managing socialism and trying to be a frugal socialist. Because you’re looking at proposals and programs that are in effect redistribution of wealth and socialism based. And are we going to have real change in the country or are we going to have frugal socialists,” as transcribed by GlennBeck.com (full video link).

"Frugal Socialist" is a sound bite that will stick in the annals of the tea party.

I recall when House Speaker Gingrich was fighting the Clinton idiocy.  He earned my respect for helping get America off the socialist track in the 1990s.  In my opinion, Newt is a modern day Winston Churchill. Remembering that Churchill was a great British Chancellor with many flaws. The fact that Americans are turning to a politician in the image of an Englishman instead of an American is somewhat damning.

It is refreshing to see Rep. Bachmann and others approach the primary more seriously. Western civilization hangs in the balance. This is no time for timid leaders who stand for nothing and will fall for anything.

Environmental Justice EPA Strategy EJ2014

The Environment Protection Agency is doubling down on Environmental Justice with Agenda EJ2014. The agency has published resources at the website, which include the strategy's effusive goals:

The goals of the plan are to:

• Protect health in communities over-burdened by pollution
• Empower communities to take action to improve their health and environment
• Establish partnerships with local, state, tribal and federal organizations to achieve healthy and sustainable communities.

Plan EJ 2014 is not a rule or regulation. It is a strategy to help integrate environmental justice into EPA's day to day activities.

It is time to do some further reading, but an example of how EJ2014 works has already been revealed in Corpus Christi, Texas, From PowerlineBlog.com's John Hinderaker:

The EPA’s stated concern is for communities called Hillcrest and Dona Park, which are “located along the fence line of Ship Channel facilities.” The EPA cites a single local pressure group, Citizens For Environmental Justice, as a source of its focus on Corpus Christi. So, what does the agency propose to do, given that Corpus Christi’s refineries are already satisfying the government’s emission standards?

Members of the Hillcrest and Dona Park neighborhoods have concerns about excess emissions, flaring, and industrial accidents affecting residents near the fenceline of large industrial facilities, even if environmental compliance is improved. In addition, some community residents have expressed a strong desire to be relocated.

Relocated? Does that mean the EPA might buy them a bus ticket? Or does it mean the agency will try to pressure the owners of the refineries to buy them a new home, somewhere else?

EPA Commitments: EPA will encourage and join in discussions between concerned members of communities, the City, industry and other interested stakeholders regarding voluntary options for addressing important fenceline community issues, including increased buffer zones, reduced emissions, better communication and relocation.

“Increased buffer zones” means relocating the people who live closest to the refineries and razing their homes.

Although EPA’s legal authority to require the creation of buffer zones or to order industries to relocate nearby residents is very limited, EPA will work to bring all parties together at a Summit where issues can be identified and workgroups can be formed to find constructive solutions.

“Very limited”? To my knowledge, the EPA has no authority whatsoever to order citizens to move, to destroy their homes, or to force industries to buy new houses in different locations for people who happen to live near their facilities–most of whom moved there long after the refineries were constructed.

The EPA does have the ability to cost private businesses millions of dollars through extortion by slowing or blocking access to the government agency's permitting process. Businesses who do not pay "protection money" in the form of whatever is deemed "Environmentally Just" will be damaged or destroyed.

Chicago style government corruption is growing at a startling rate. Bribes and extortion are inevitable when reasoned equal justice through publicly debated law is swept aside by Eric Holder and Barack Hussein Obama in favor of social, environmental or other meaningless forms of "justice."

Last Call for Incandescent Light Bulbs

For the holiday season, I recommend a 48 pack of cheap, reliable, 100 watt, incandescent light bulbs.  Time is running out as the bloated government raises the price of lighting your home from 50 cents per incandescent bulb to as much as $50 per LCD bulb.

Here are a couple online stores that can ship your orders before it is too late on January 1, 2012.

Herman Cain Bye-Bye-Bye

Herman Cain says bye-bye-bye in a speech in Atlanta, Georgia. Disappointing as it may be, we have seen the next victim in the smear campaign of Chicago politician Barack Hussein Obama.

Herman Cain like all leaders has interacted with many people over his life. Some of these people have been women and in desparate economic times, the least honorable among them are easily tempted by promises of money and fame. I can only guess that the next step for Herman Cain accusors will be songs or reality television.

As a conservative, the idea of charity is fundamental and it is not suprising that Herman Cain would assist those in need around him. Women in danger particularly engender the protective instincts of men. So, it is entirely believable that Herman Cain is innocent of the allegations levied. He should have been in consultation with his wife over any such matters, but we do not know if such decisions are within their relationship's established level of trust.

It is a sad day in the 2012 Presidential Campaign and the next step for Herman Cain is an endorsement. Cain will likely endorse Michelle Bachmann who has a breadth of foreign policy and tax law experience. Other obvious options are Rick Santorum, Rick Perry or Gary Johnson in that order. Unlikely is an endorsement for Newt Gingrich or John Huntsman. Endorsement of Ron Paul or Mitt Romney would be shocking. My Cain endorsement bet is Michelle Bachmann due to certainty in her conservative convictions.

The only modern politician with no track record of leading women and no ex-girlfriends is Barack Hussein Obama. His wife Michelle was a political crony in Chicago of Richard Daily, but that is all we know. Obama's relationship with Reggie Love and facts like his membership at a gay Chicago bath house add to this "not that there is anything wrong with that" storyline.  Resultingly, President Obama is free of heterosexual scandal. Maybe gay bath houses are the only places progressives feel safe from conservatives when discussing their evil plans for world domination.

Postmodernists

I have been very badly mistaken in my personal view of Barack Hussein Obama.  After years of attempting to reason, moderate and rationalize the actions of our current president, I gave into the educated but incorrect belief that he was attempting to dismantle our republic.

President Obama is not resorting to unfettered, bare knuckled, mudslinging in order to maintain his office or destroy America.  He is on a ideological Jihad to destroy western civilization as a whole.  Mudslinging at Herman Cain is nothing compared to the lengths he and his kind are willing to go. The office of POTUS is far to important to be left up to a fair election when the future of human domination hangs in the balance.

Postmodernists are insane, irrational beings who can only be compared to unreasoning beasts. Their only real skill is hiding and changing definitions because they do not see any definition as meaningful. Our postmodern aka post racial, post American president is their fraudulent figurehead.  Conservatives do not acknowledge this due to gullibility. A gullibility based upon our need to reason through problems, even when looking at human motivations.

We must stop looking to reason to explain postmodernists who do not believe in reason. They hate us. THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO DESTROY what they see as inadequate empirical truth to pursue collectivist spiritual truth. 

Investor Wars

Beware of large investors pushing the notion that stock allocations should be increased. European gurus are calling for increases in stock allocations from approximately 50% to 75%. This is actually a play to lower the price of gold. Large investor's portfolios have taken a beating this year while gold prices shot through the roof. In order to improve their portfolios before year end, a narrative has been penned to push down the price of gold and pull up the price of stocks.

We can expect to see a short term pull back in the price of gold and a rally in the stock market. Large institutional investor's stock portfolios will reach sell triggers and convert into cheapened gold. Small investors will take a beating as gold prices fall while they try to cash out. Freshly purchased small investor's stock portfolios will then suffer as the price of gold recovers due to large investor and governmental reallocation from stocks.

To beat this strategy take a contrarian tone. I have no doubt that large and governmental investors will successfully manipulate the market with this strategy. Small investors armed with their gameplan will protect themselves. Buy gold on the next weakness and sell stocks on strength over the next couple months.

Cain is Innocent

Herman Cain has been under a lot of scrutiny due to the barrage of accusations against his character.  Several women appear to have been paid to claim that the conservative black presidential hopeful engaged in sexual misconduct of varying degrees. In all cases these accusations have been investigated and determined to be false or financial gain sticks out as the motivation. So let me be the first to call it as I see it, this is a smear campaign.

Welcome to Chicago brand politics on a national level.  A cheap (or expensive depending on how much of that $1 Billion Obama campaign chest was used) way to affect how conservative women view Herman Cain. A smear released as other sexually charged stories dominate the headlines.

I do wonder what the craigslist ad for women accusers looked like...
