This piece should be read by all Americans, anyway those who still believe in America. To understand the end goal and what we have to look forward to all you have to do is open your eyes and read history yourself.

"Atlas" Geller began her publishing career at The New York Daily News and subsequently
took over operation of The New York Observer
as Associate Publisher. She left The Observer after the birth of her fourth
child but remained involved in various projects including American Associates, Ben-Gurion
University and being Senior Vice-President Strategic Planning and Performance
Evaluation at The Brandeis School.
By Pam Geller:
I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books in six
languages, and have studied history all my life. I think there is
something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking
crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist but
they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming
into a sharper focus.
Something of historic proportions is
happening. I can sense it because I know
how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there
is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about 10 -
15 years.
The pace has
dramatically quickened in the past two. We have spent two or more decades
intentionally de-industrializing our economy.
Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our
schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why
we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think
critically, read, or articulate. Parents
are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, and school boards continue to
back mediocrity. Why?
We have now established the precedent of
protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition
that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and
one woman. Did you ever think such a
thing possible just a decade ago?). We
have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to
write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist
groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing,
housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking
system is on the verge of collapse, Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare
and our entire government. Our education
system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am
talking about.) The list is staggering in
its length, breadth, and depth. It is
potentially 1929 times 10. And we are at
war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same
religion who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the
opportunity to do so.
And now we have elected a man no one knows
anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as
big as Wasilla, Alaska. All of his
associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment,
and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright
scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a
mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our
borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over
and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and
$150,000 wardrobe are more important.)
I have never been so afraid for my
country and for my children as I am now. This man campaigned on bringing people
together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along
philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a
new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same
nation again.
I thought I would never be able to
experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In
those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the
streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated
with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they
disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and
promises. Economic times were tough,
people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And
people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown
shirts" would bully them into submission.
And then he was duly elected to office,
with a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression].
Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department,
person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where
they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money
to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children,
advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and
promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe, and
across the world.
He did it with a compliant media - Did you
know that? And he did this all in the
name of justice and change. And the people
surely got what they voted for. (Look it
up if you think I am exaggerating.) Read
your history books. Many people objected
in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious
in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet
Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker.
He was right, though. Don't forget that Germany was the most
educated, cultured country in Europe. It
was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years - a shorter time
span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency - it was rounding up its own citizens,
killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors
against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.

Since many of you enjoy senior citizen status or will sometime in the not too
distant future, I thought you might be interested in this information. Everybody that is on this mailing list is
either a senior citizen, is getting close, or knows somebody that is. Most of you know by now that the Senate version
(at least) of the "stimulus" bill includes provisions for extensive rationing
of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill,
former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle was credited today by Bloomberg
with the following statement.
Bloomberg: "Daschle says health-care
reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions
that come with age instead of treating them."
If this does not sufficiently raise your
ire, just remember that Senators and Congressmen have their own health-care plan
that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder
of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes.
Please use the power of the internet to get
this message out. Talk it up at the
grassroots level. We have an election coming
up in one year and nine months. We have
the ability to address and reverse the dangerous direction the Obama administration
and it allies have begun and in the interim, we can make our voices heard! Let’s do it!
If you disagree, don't do anything.
