Littman’s News – Obama, King of Pain

By: Toddy Littman

I thought I’d try a little change in format and hope the following demonstrates the evaporation of life as we know it. 2008 began the continuing epic reality show saga as the “POTUS with the leastus” was inaugurated, and the era of America’s Dear Leader was born. And, as it is the normal Progression of centralized power, Barack Obama bears an uncanny resemblance to the character portrayed in the song King of Pain by the band, The Police. May the following suggestions and commentary elucidate the key points of this analogy, please enjoy their song.


Lyrics, http://easylyrics.org/?artist=Police&title=King+Of+Pain

Subversive Tyranny for Dummies

According to the powers vested in Barack Obama, apparently by Barack Obama, he can nationalize our entire productivity and the entirety of all resources attached thereto, http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness (NDRP).

Anyone else find it rather puzzling how our “Dear Leader” can fail entirely to follow Our Lead?… But then again he is “Dear Leader” after all. I mean, let’s look closely at Eric Holder’s 1995 speech, care, of course, of Breitbart, that immortal presence of defiance to tyranny, who linked us to this C-Span piece of history lost in Obama’s Cult of Personality & Propaganda Presidency:

Move along, move along, nothing to see here, folks. Confiscated guns, while arming the cartels in Mexico á la Fast & Furious, and, Holder’s boss is taking control of the production of resources, while the crickets leave the House and Senate out of boredom, and a bad case of leg rash.

Now a lot of people got upset over the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), though I was happy with the legal exclusion in the act, it seems succinct and reasonable. And then comes the NDRP + NDAA to completely liquidate the idea of a private/public separation of property, and thereby, power, authority, and who is beholden to whom.

To illustrate how the Government is claiming to be the victor over the American People, one needs look to today’s (May 16, 2012) article regarding the Obama Administration’s adding footnotes to the historical bios of past Presidents, and their justification “this is no different than other websites in promoting their policies and products” as they politicize and footnote the factual history of others with spun claims of being no different than any other President, http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/05/16/.

It is worth noting what President Ronald Wilson Reagan actually said regarding fairer taxes, http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=38734. And what must be said is that there is a difference between paying capital gains on post-tax money (the gains on profits made from productive investment in a business), and gains made from, as Reagan put it, “unproductive tax loop-holes.” This is the income tax situation prior to the 1986 Tax Reform Act, http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/85inintxr.pdf. If one looks they’ll notice the amount collected for those making 1,000,000 or more (50% tax bracket) was equivalent to the amount collected for the 14% tax bracket, thus it is clear that the reported income subject to tax by the wealthy, at the time of Reagan’s speech, excluded certain “non productive investments” (money held in tax-shelters, that were fake businesses producing nothing, and abusing certain IRS rules), which are the loop-holes Reagan spoke of. This loss of tax-shelters is why the maximum tax bracket was able to be lowered to 32% and allowed for simplification of the number of tax brackets as well. It is easy to see how this higher 50% tax chased people to tax-shelters and how the lowering of the income tax, while maintaining a low capital gains tax (15%) on productive investment of post-tax money, created a willingness of those with property to include more of their property as subject to the income tax. Today this has resulted in the wealthy paying a higher percentage overall, which is why the upper 5% of income earners are paying 70% of the income tax revenues today.

Feigned National Debt

No, I don’t have it on video, but maybe it made it up on youtube since Karl Rove explained the debt in terms that simplified the reality of our Ponzi Government (see this video as he mentions the public debt and “intergovernmental transfers,” which is what needs to be highlighted, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Gg-Lc4zD8)

Mr. Rove explained on O’Reilly (where the crickets have found respite when Bernie Goldberg is on or Bill has no guest), as I quote the best I can recollect, “First we have the debt that’s about 10.1 trillion, that’s a bond, China owns about 1 trillion of that,” and then the important part, “and then we have another about 6 trillion, of intergovernmental transfers, what government agencies owe to, or amongst each other.”

Wow, isn’t that a revelation of what Obama has done in that whole redistribution of wealth thing? He’s shifted the debt which was mostly the public bond prior to his election, and therefore money we actually owed to run the United States of America (which would be around $31,010/person the date of this article) – even if mostly on unconstitutional expenses as they are not listed under Article I, Section 8 – to accruing what is considered “each American’s debt” to a “debt-we-owe-to-government” (around $49,617/person the date of this article) for government agency benevolence amongst each other, both State and Federal, WITH OUR OWN MONEY!

In corporations they call this type of financial cross-support between the various divisions, “internal sales.” What Obama’s done is identical, except our government was organized to own nothing without us as the funding principle and actual beneficiary, and using this, naturally, all funding of government is debt we owe, an ever-growing debt we owe due to this inter-department/inter-agency bookkeeping “Ponzification,” mostly under the “Government Union Label.”

Now, apparently, this is how they plan to “fund” healthcare. I say this because it seems the new 6 trillion out of 16 trillion is a means for the government approach of an actual right to take off the top of what we pay in taxes to refund these agencies first (approaching 40%) so the government doesn’t have to shut down (yeah, a shut down would end government agency bureaucrat “budget directors” yelling, “we must Ponzi, Ponzi, Ponzi” in reply to their excessive spending, said in Saturday Night Live John Belushi fashion of “Pepsi, Pepsi Pepsi” which is always the bureaucrats answer, when the polar opposite of “CUT SPENDING” is said by We The People. As a matter of Socialist course the Progressives in the House and Our Unconstitutional Senate say: “No Cuts,” or “No Coke” the static “stay the course” mantra in conversion of private property to public use, of “Government redistribution of wealth.” And of course, this is why we have a deficit in the first place, the remaining, currently 62.5%, is for the affording of that unconstitutional spending I mentioned earlier that far exceeds that percentage of the 2.2 trillion dollars our Government already receives in revenues every year.

Thus it does certainly appear that 6 trillion of our national debt is not debt at all, but merely the rigging of books between agencies to have the appearance of money owed between each other, to chase the overall figure higher and higher, in a pressurizing of America over the breaking point, a zealous march of Socialism, of Fascists when you consider the President’s push of “African-Americans for Obama,” (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdjoHA5ocwU). It should be obvious that Obama’s 2nd term is the necessity for his persistent goal to end Capitalism, which is merely the idea of private property as a legal regime of rights to which the Citizen as Sovereign earns the fruits of their labor for themselves instead of a King/Government. This is why Capitalism has been the footing of unalienable Rights and Freedom for 234 years.

Do you feel historic as you witness Progressivism 2.0 for the 21st Century, brought to you by Obama 2008 and 2012, where everything you need to know about America is on the Teleprompter Of The United States? I can already hear Dorothy, “Pay no attention to the typist behind the teleprompter keyboard, Toto.”

Conclusion

I’d quote James Madison from Federalists 46-49 to present Our Founders’ voice here, but, to keep this short I’ll instead offer up a bit of a solution. And so ends the news/commentary part of this Blog post of the illegal tyrannical taking of power by America’s Dear Leader, Barack Obama, a post that used the somewhat Progressive GOP pundit Rove’s explanation of the debt to explain how Obama is using the bureaucratic cost of government as a feigned “leverage” to end Capitalism, to end Private Property Rights, and the United States of America from within. Now, should you want a lengthy read, I suggest you stop whatever social networking you’re doing for about an hour and go read Federalist 46-49, and take your time too, hear the words in your head, it helps a lot to understand what Our Founders meant, start here, http://thomas.loc.gov/home/histdox/fed_46.html.

One Solution

Though I realize why we can’t be on a “gold standard,” to use gold as the item in exchange for transactions, I cannot say we shouldn’t have a direct gold backing to the dollars we have.

I’d find this a particular limit to how much they can use the printing presses if this ratio were by law, and subject to a 3/4 ratification in both Houses to be changed.

More important than this is that such a backing establishes a private ownership in the gold through paper that has a direct value in ratio to the gold, even when held by the United States Government, since the monikers of value held in every facet of the U.S. Government do belong to us.

Snippet of Reality of Our Failure to Act

Essentially, we are the principle to which all money in government is a form of asset, no matter how they claim the values, and especially amongst each other, the entirety of the system is assets belonging to the People when one makes a balance sheet of it all, with government entirely on the liability side of the equation, sucking up the entire amount as through a black hole to another dimension. That dimension is poverty, oppression, and losing all dignity, all Individual Liberty and right to anything without government’s license, without their permit, their blessing, or sanction, a parallel universe of darkness and despair coming soon to a reality near you: Yours, mine, everyone’s.

I finally agree Obama’s kept his promise of “change we can believe in,” and his change, as delivered, is one that destroys all belief, to leave its reality the only thing to deal with, suffocating all futures, all plans, hopes, and dreams, for the sake of his power, of his need to be a dominant, tyrannical, militant ruler, and to which America is merely the last of mankind on the world to be “objectified.” America has historically been the only one to stand tall against this oppression of our entire race of mankind, carrying out the genuine act of doing “what’s right,” stopping this oppression in its tracks in 2 world wars. Yet, in perfect Progressive hi-jacking fashion, those words, “what’s right,” are now a historical truth in manipulation used by those seeking power over everyone else, the siren song of the corrupted, and now it has returned full circle to destroy America, Obama singing it gleefully as though knowing the song as intimately as the Muslim Call To Prayer (see http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.158), and that this singer has his eyes on doing “what’s right” for the world. This tune promotes the notion that one alone who claims they could know “what’s right” for everyone else is a an absolute truth beyond reproach, though Obama hides behind the chorus, the collective. Their rhythm, a beating drum of our duty to deny that we each know best for ourselves, our feet picking up the beat, they begin moving in lock step to give up our wherewithal to accomplish on our own, and our minds swaying back and forth as we look for others to sacrifice or take from in our denied affirmation and acknowledgment we are dependent, “that someone else knows best what’s right for me.”

This is the way of those present Americans, the corrupted, who support Obama now, and whose entire mode of discerning difference is based on “the issues.” Witness the American future, the “Obama Citizen” if we do not rise knowing our Life, Liberty, pursuit of Happiness, and all other unalienable Rights, are soon to be extinguished, and thereby, every future generation placed in blindness by us, by our failure to act when Liberty, as a matter of right to each and every single one of us, is about to be destroyed forever, “Freedom” to become a historical remnant of a time when we were immature children who failed to appreciate the wisdom and authority of the collective over out very Soul.

May God be with you and thank you for reading,

P.S. So now, if we are able to actually have an election, which candidate do you think is going to comprehend and appreciate what’s been said above, and do something about it? Vote your conscience.

Barack Obama’s pathetic quest for past presidents ‘coattail effect’

By: Jeffrey Klein
Political Buzz Examiner

As poll results far and wide paint an increasingly bleak outlook for President Barack Obama’s future, White House [campaign] staffers have sunk to a new low by editing the White House website in a flagrant attempt to give flight to the Obama Albatross, using the positive “coattail effect” of past presidents, as reported in a FOXNews article today.

The premise is simple, contextually “marry” a minor Obama accomplishment to the historic legacy of a past president, by appending the reference to the end of a past presidents’ “official” WH website biography, using the “Did you know?” method.

“Did you know?”

“On Feb. 22, 1924 Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people. President Coolidge later helped create the Federal Radio Commission, which has now evolved to become the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

President Obama became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls using Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, etc.”

“Did you know?”

“On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act.

Today the Obama Administration continues to protect seniors and ensure Social Security will be there for future generations.”

“Did you know?”

President Dwight Eisenhower established the President’s Council on Youth Fitness on July 16, 1956 (now known as The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports) after learning from a study that American youth were less fit than European youth.

Today the Council is still going strong … working in conjunction with the First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative to help promote healthier lifestyles.”

“Did you know?”

President John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: “Ask what you can do for your country.” In 1961, the Peace Corps was created, facilitating service among citizens working toward peace in developing countries.

In 2011, President Obama celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps with a Presidential Proclamation.”

“Did you know?”

President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare signed into law in 1965—providing millions of elderly healthcare stability.

President Obama’s historic health care reform law, the Affordable Care Act, strengthens Medicare, offers eligible seniors a range of preventive services with no cost-sharing, and provides discounts on drugs when in the coverage gap known as the ‘donut hole.’”

“Did you know?”

“In 1973, Richard Nixon created the President’s Export Council (PEC), which was expanded and reconstituted under President Jimmy Carter in 1979.

Today the PEC continues to work towards reaching President Obama’s goal of doubling the nation’s exports by 2014’s end.”

“Did you know?”

“1. President Reagan designated Martin Luther King Jr. Day a national holiday.

Today the Obama Administration honors this tradition, with the First and Second Families participating in service projects on this day.

2. In a June 28, 1985 speech Reagan called for a fairer tax code … one where a multi-millionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary(?).

Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the ‘Buffett Rule.'”

“Did you know?”

“In 2002, President George W. Bush’s State of the Union was the first to be live broadcast on the Internet.

In 2011 and 2012, President Obama’s State of the Union speeches were available in an enhanced live stream version that featured infographics, charts and data side-by-side in real time with the President’s speech.”

This is excellent display of President Obama’s cheap and tawdry degradation of the Office of President–equaled only by President Bill Clinton’s famous West Wing “internal” adventures.

Nonetheless, even if the entries that are outright lies were removed, the remaining correlations are so comically trivial that they only serve to shrink Barack Obama’s already puny stature in the eyes of most Americans.

So, in view of this total disregard for presidential decorum, what’s next–Marine One flying grid patterns over the D.C. metroplex sporting a “Rock with Barack in 2012” tail banner?

Media Pundit Named in Jesse Jackson Lawsuit

By: Cliff Kincaid
Accuracy in Media

Tamara Holder, a Fox News contributor, is accused of having an affair with Jesse Jackson, Sr. in a lawsuit that alleges the illegal use of a gay Jackson employee to facilitate the relationship.

The accuser, Tommy R. Bennett, was Jackson’s personal travel assistant and ran the legal clinic at Jackson’s organization, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. He says he was eventually fired for protesting his treatment by Jackson and other PUSH employees and is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.

Holder has not responded to repeated requests for comment from Accuracy in Media, but Jackson’s press representative, Lauren Love, says the allegations are false and will be proven so.

Bennett attorney Thomas V. Leverso says that Jackson and PUSH have been stonewalling a legal response for many months but that investigations and the case are moving forward. Leverso tells Accuracy in Media that witnesses have come forward to verify the allegations against Jackson.

Jackson, a minister and Democratic politician who served as an aide to Martin Luther King, Jr., suffered a major embarrassment in 2010 when he admitted to an extramarital affair that produced an illegitimate child.

Bennett worked for Jackson for more than two years and was known as “Aruba Tommy” on local Chicago radio station WVON. The lawsuit alleges that Bennett was subjected to “humiliating tasks” because he was a homosexual, such as “escorting women to his [Jackson’s] hotel room” and then being ordered to clean up after Jackson had sexual intercourse with them.

One of those women, the suit claims, was Tamara Holder, a pundit and criminal defense attorney who claims she “single-handedly” founded what she calls “a pro bono legal clinic at Rev. Jesse L. Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition.” A self-described Democrat, she appears regularly on Fox News to defend the Obama Administration and other prominent Democrats. “Because of the Democratic Party’s deep Chicago roots, Tamara has worked closely with some of the City’s most prominent leaders,” her website says.

Another Holder website says that, in addition to being “a legal and political contributor for Fox News Channel,” she “previously wrote for The Huffington Post and now writes for The Daily Caller.” The latter identifies her as “one of the nation’s rising attorneys and legal analytical stars.”

On one occasion, “Mr. Bennett was instructed by Rev. Jackson to escort Ms. Holder to Rev. Jackson’s hotel room at the Hilton at Chicago O’Hare airport,” the suit says.

The lawsuit, filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, says Bennett was director of the clinic but that when he objected to Holder taking a majority of the cases and charging too much to poor clients, he was replaced. He says Jackson then gave control of the clinic to Holder.

The allegations are the subject of several legal actions and complaints, including one by Bennett to the Chicago Commission on Human Relations, which is still under investigation, and another to the Illinois Department of Human Rights, which was not acted upon, prompting the lawsuit.

Bennett’s original complaint consisted of seven charges, including that Jackson exhibited a “bigoted attitude” toward homosexuals and ordered him to perform “improper job duties.” This was followed by a “supplemental statement of facts” from his attorney that runs eight pages in length.

This document declares, “It was well known that Ms. Holder was a mistress of Rev. Jackson,” and states that the Jackson family was informed of this because of a letter from another Jackson mistress.

It refers to Jackson visiting Holder’s apartment, while Bennett waited in a car outside, and “several occasions” during which Bennett “was instructed by Rev. Jackson to escort Ms. Holder to Rev. Jackson’s hotel room at the Hilton at Chicago O’Hare airport.”

Lauren Love, who runs the Rainbow PUSH Coalition press department, provided a statement to AIM that said:

“The Rainbow PUSH Coalition unequivocally denies Tommy Bennett’s false claims of harassment, retaliation and discrimination. The Rainbow PUSH Coalition and Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. unequivocally denies Tommy Bennett’s false claims of harassment, retaliation and discrimination. We are fully cooperating with the Chicago Commission on Human Relations and expect to be fully exonerated.

“The organization does not condone or tolerate discrimination in any form. Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition stands on their record of advocating for equality and human rights for all people—from standing up to affirm the humanity of persons with HIV-AIDS and advocating for HIV-AIDS education and research, to supporting marriage equality and the abolition of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy of the U.S. Military.

“His inflammatory allegations are an attempt to malign Rev. Jackson and the organization, and are hurtful and harmful to the progressive community.

“Rainbow PUSH and Rev. Jackson will have no further comment while the matter is pending before the Commission.”

The Bennett allegations have been covered by some gay media and one of the supermarket tabloids. The National Enquirer, which broke the story of the Jackson mistress that produced the illegitimate child, wrote about the Bennett charges in a story headlined, “Jesse Jackson Gay Sex Shocker Legal War.”

The Courthouse News Service has run a lengthy account of the “lurid” allegations, while the Chicago Sun-Times published a small story which made no mention of Tamara Holder being named in it. Holder says the Chicago Sun-Times once recognized her as one of “50 People Who Make Chicago a Better Place.”

In addition to the alleged relationship with Holder, Jackson is accused of demanding sexual favors from Bennett, such as being told to apply a cream on Jackson’s inner thigh to treat a rash. Bennett says he refused, Jackson became angry, and called Bennett a “little mother——.”

“My termination was discriminatory and retaliatory,” says Bennett’s complaint. He was told he was fired because of a “drastic economic downturn” when in fact another individual was hired to replace him.
