The Barbarians Brownshirts are at the Gate
October 17, 2008

History repeats itself in various ways. Names, locations, and events differ, but the results are the same. Regrettably, like Nostradamus’ prophecies, historical relevance may be recognized only after the event or events have occurred. Worried that today’s troublesome geopolitical/economic situation mirrors that of the 1930s, I have been prompted to reflect on the similarities between today’s leaders and those who influenced that bleak time in history. Are we repeating the missteps of the 1930s?

 

Like others, I have found myself equating Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler, and it is true that there are many reasons for this. But now I realize I was wrong. A more correct correlation would be to Benito “Il Duce” Mussolini, the fascist dictator of Italy. Why? Because Iran, like Italy of the 1930s and early 1940s, is not a world power. So, if not Ahmadinejad, who else in the twenty-first century best fits the comparison with Adolf Hitler: A would-be king, revered by millions; a demigod who used spellbinding oratory, intimidation, nefarious associates, and un-holy alliances to rise to power, to bring Socialism to Germany, and to create the Holocaust—a time of suffering unparalleled in human history.

 

Two candidates come to mind: Vladimir Putin of Russia, a man who wishes to recreate the Soviet Union, a society comparable to Nazi Germany; and, a youthful, previously unknown orator, with the ability to mesmerize crowds and deflect all legitimate criticism pertaining to his origin and beliefs—Barrack Hussein Obama. Before you explode, the reasons I cite for choosing Obama are as follows: his oratory skills and charismatic personality; his alliances with questionable organizations, his choice of friends and advisors; and lastly, his obvious leanings toward Socialism. Hitler could hold a crowd spellbound, and so can Obama. I worry that Obama is close to becoming a demigod—I think he already is one to far-far-left liberals.

 

Well I guess that’s done it. Listen and you will hear the screams from the far-far-left calling for my head to be mounted on a pike. Criticizing their anointed one—the man some are calling “The One” and the superstar that Lewis Farrakhan seriously calls “the Messiah”—is heresy. Any non-believer daring so to do must expect to be excoriated in blogs and the media. Next, the far-far-left will be calling for my crucifixion—a fatwah is also a possibility.

 

Sadly for America, all of the above leads to the subject of this article—those nefarious associates and unholy alliances who played such an abominable role in Hitler’s infamous rise to dictatorship—his Socialist cronies and enforcers know as “brownshirts,” and their twenty-first century equivalents. Who are today’s brownshirts? The answer many of the following: the fascist far left wing of the Democrat party; some members of the national news media; and those who publish MoveOn.org and DailyKos.org—attack blogs that care nothing about the truth, only about spreading propaganda; as well as those elected and appointed government officials who abuse their Constitutional authority to suppress criticism of their candidate, while doing nothing to prevent slanderous and libelous statements about the other side.

 

Some Examples

Obama supporters have threatened critics with criminal prosecution. In September, St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch and St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce warned citizens that they would bring criminal libel prosecutions against anyone who made statements against Mr. Obama that were "false." This prompted Missouri Governor Matt Blunt to issue a press release, “What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, ...” These events, of course, were ignored by the mainstream liberal news media.

 

When Mr. Kurtz (a conservative who had been researching Mr. Obama's relationship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers in Chicago Annenberg Challenge papers in the Richard J. Daley Library in Chicago) appeared on the Milt Rosenberg show on WGN radio in Chicago, brownshirts jammed WGN's phone lines and sent in hundreds of protest e-mails. See the complete article in The Washington Times. Senator Obama’s involvement with Ayres and his wife has been ignored by the mainstream liberal news media.

 

If a potential president’s association with an admitted terrorist is not important, what is?

 

Then there is the sub-prime mortgage mess. After Congress passed its $700 billion bail- out legislation, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid held a news conference and canonized two of those most responsible for creating the problem: Congressman Barney Franks and Senator Chris Dodd. In 2003 Congressman Franks opposed President Bush’s attempts to increase oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Perhaps Fannie’s $42 thousand plus contributions, and his relationship with Fannie Mae executive Herb Moses, his house mate and boyfriend, had some influence on Frank’s judgment. Rupert Murdoch repeatedly blamed Frank as one of a few responsible for the current housing crisis. Senator McCain attempted to regulate Fannie and Freddie in 2005, and again Franks and Dodd helped defeat his bill. More facts that have been ignored by the mainstream liberal news media—again.

 

Senator Obama was the second largest recipient of campaign dollars form Fannie Mae. Nancy Pelosi and good old Harry Reed got some too.

 

And, there’s the $60 Billion put up by Fannie Mae, most of which went, thorough ACORN, to Obama for use by community developers, in developing low-income Chicago housing and registering voters. ACORN has publicly endorsed Barack Obama, and is under investigation for voter fraud in twenty-one states.

 

Race

The race card has been and continues to be played by the brownshirts. Apparently there are two sets of rules: one set for the brownshirts, that allows them to do and say whatever they want to; and a restrictive set for the rest of us. Black and white brownshirts can preach hate for America and whites from church and bully pulpits, while the rest of us dare not criticize them for doing so. Preachers in black churches can preach political sermons, but white preachers can’t. Brownshirts can attack, with false accusations, the family of the Republican Vice Presidential nominee, while mention of the Democratic Presidential nominee’s socialistic leanings, questionable friends, association with ACORN, college records, employment, and place of birth is off limits.

 

Experience

John McCain, Joe Biden, and Sarah Palin all have stronger qualifications for the presidency than Barrack Obama. That is a simple fact—and a fact that the brownshirts will do anything to hide. We must elect leaders, both the president and Congress, who understand what’s going on in the real world.

 

The United States is in serious trouble, and the current economic mess is just a small part of it. We have allowed our manufacturing base to be replaced by a service economy. Our military needs replacement equipment, new weapons, and more men and women. We are over committed in foreign lands, policing the world with no payment from those we are protecting. We have incurred huge debts to fund our excesses, debts that may prove impossible to repay. Our nuclear arsenal is graying, while China and Russia are upgrading theirs, and Iran is close to producing nuclear warheads. Security at our nuclear weapons labs is lax. We no longer have the ability to produce the “pit” for a nuclear warhead (the ball of plutonium-239). There is more, but I think you get the idea.

 

Energy

Brownshirts and environmental wackos are doing everything in their power to keep the U.S. dependant on foreign sources of oil. Why? I have no idea. Approximately 700 billion dollars flees the county each year to purchase oil. The brownshirts in Congress passed a bill allowing off-shore drilling starting one hundred miles off shore, knowing that most of the oil is within fifty miles of shore. In fact, there are existing oil platforms within fifty miles from shore that can be brought on line in less than two years.

 

We hear much talk about nuclear power, but little talk about how long it will take to grant a license for a nuclear power plant. Wind energy requires new power lines. Both will become WPA projects for consulting engineers doing environmental impact statements. How about hydrogen powered vehicles? Providing funding is available to develop the engines, establish manufacturing, sales and maintenance facilities, and install convenient fueling locations, we will be driving H powered cars in fifty years. Natural gas powered vehicles offer the best near-term solution. Existing internal combustion engines can be retrofitted to run on natural or liquefied gas. The barrier is establishing a nationwide fueling system.

 

There are answers to our energy problem. Will the brownshirts and enviro-wackos allow us to find them?

 

Eligibility to Be President

There are serious questions about Senator Obama’s citizenship. The U.S. Constitution requires the president to be born in United States territory (a natural born citizen), and to have lived here for fourteen years. Questions have been raised about where Barrack Hussein Obama was born, and if he is a natural-born or naturalized citizen. It seems a simple question for Obama to answer—provide a certified copy of his Hawaii birth certificate. Why has he not done so? The brownshirts and the national news media have circled the wagons around Obama. A scanned copy of a birth certificate has been posted, but there is no way to validate it.

 

The question is now before the courts. Attorney Philip J. Berg filed a lawsuit on August 21, 2008 in Pennsylvania Eastern District Court, alleging that Defendant Barack Obama is not eligible for the Office of the President because Obama lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married an Indonesian citizen and relocated with her son, Barry, to Indonesia. Obama’s mother naturalized in Indonesia and Barry Obama followed her naturalization, as he was a minor in the custody of his mother. Plaintiff further alleged that Obama failed to take an oath of allegiance when he turned eighteen (18) years old to regain his U.S. Citizenship status.

 

The following day, Berg filed a motion for a restraining order preventing Obama from running for the office of the President of the United States, and expedited discovery (prompt production of documents such as a certified birth certificate), which was denied.

 

I learned that when the flow in negotiations is going against you, introduce suspended solids (i.e. put mud in the water and stir). It appears others also employ this tactic. Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S., Citizen of ONE OF the United States of America, Private Attorney General, Criminal Investigator and Federal Witness (hereinafter “Relator”) filed a motion to intervene. It has come to Mr. Mitchell’s attention that Senator McCain, born in the Panama Canal Zone, is not a natural-born Citizen of the United States. Mr. Mitchell further claims that he “has done arguably more research and litigation on the correct construction of the various Qualifications Clauses in the Constitution for the United States of America (“U.S. Constitution”) than any other lawyer currently practicing Law in America at the present time.”

 

Mr. Mitchell cites Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution which he included in his motion, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States at the time of Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President...” And what does Mr. Mitchell find to be most important? Why, he finds that the capitalization of the first letter of “Citizen” to be of earth-shaking importance. One may ask why. He provides the answer by citing Pannill v. Roanoke in which a Federal court held that federal citizens aka “citizens of the United States” were not even contemplated when the organic Constitution was first drafted. Horror of all horrors—the Federal court did not capitalize citizen. In Mr. Mitchell’s fine legal mind, the next President of the United States may be decided by whether citizen is capitalized.

 

Well folks, there’s more. Mr. Mitchell also has concluded, for similar reasons, that Barack Hussein Obama is likewise not eligible to serve in the Office of President. What can one say when faced with such a brilliant analysis? That leaves Biden v. Palin. You know, I sorta’ like that!

 

Motions to dismiss Berg’s lawsuit have been filed by Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and other parties. On October 9th, Mr. Berg filed and ORDER with the Court that orders Barack Hussein Obama and the DNC to produce by October 15, 2008 the following:

 

1) A certified copy of Obama’s “vault” (original long version) birth certificate; Certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates of Obama in the names referred to in the caption of this lawsuit;

 

2) A certified copy of Obama’s Certification of Citizenship;

 

3) A certified copy of Obama’s Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of majority;

 

4) Certified copies of Obama’s Application and Admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School; and

 

5) Certified copies of any Court Orders or legal documents changing Obama’s name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Hussein Obama.

 

Berg’s ORDER is awaiting signature by the judge.

 

Ancient Romans became engrossed with their internal pleasures and ignored the barbarians at their gate until it was too late. Will we elect more brownshirts in November and send them to sack Washington and the U.S.?

 

If Obama is elected president, along with a Democratic controlled Congress and Senate, the U.S. may well follow Germany into socialism.

 

Vote wisely in November.
