		<description>Yes Pro,  I&#039;m new here, and I agree with you, this is the fruition of a long held World Marxist strategy.  Others have traced it back far better than I.  I appreciate the opportunity to post here among you, and learn more about how this is coming about.  It&#039;s my wish that tens of thousands of new people find the truths on this sight!  I&#039;m also interested in discussing strategies to disrupt these efforts, as I believe that many free men working together in even the smallest of ways can be effective in thwarting this coup.  Above all, humans crave Liberty-a condition of God&#039;s grace- and will defend it if their eyes be opened.</description>

		<description>I think a lot can be learned from Hollywood since it&#039;s so closely tied to Washington, too; but liberal filmmaker&#039;s obsession the past couple of years with apocalyptic intrigue and illuminati-esque conspiracies really makes me agree with you PR.  I&#039;m not saying Teleprompter Precedent and his shady allies are the Bavarian Illuminati, but that sense of control over people and their world I think is what they crave and admire in their false enlightenment.

It all roots itself in a complete inability to see freedom as evidence of the one true God&#039;s presence.  In that absence it is thus just that man appropriately fills the void and dictates what is right/wrong, fair/unfair, black/white.</description>

		<description>&quot;My suspicions are that a World Socialist Cabal is in effect–logic dictates it. &quot;

badcrow, you are fairly new here.

I&#039;ve been advocating a very similar position for about a year, and write about it frequently at S&amp;L.  My view is that communists made a deliberate strategic decision in the 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s to attack the US through the education system and media, since they knew they could not win a military confrontation.  The strategists are long-gone, but Ayers and the like are the second generation, and 95% of the news media is the 3rd generation.   They don&#039;t even know it.  Direct ties to the old architects are broken.  It was never documented.  Now the universities and media are filled with people raised on the mother&#039;s milk of radical socialism.

I also believe that the Moron is a creation of the 2nd generation radicals. He is the 3rd step in the strategy....the demagogue.   He was carefully selected, trained and protected for decades.  There were probably dozens like him.  He just happened to be the one who emerged.   All of this has been carefully mapped out in a decades-long process.   Every word that comes out of Obama&#039;s mouth is scripted by the puppet-master.  He&#039;s the front-man.  Nothing else.

Steve (the site host) frequently publishes articles that show how closely the Moron&#039;s agenda aligns with that of the Communist Party of the US.   Something like 47 out of 50 agenda points have been accomplished, and only 1 (Afghanistan) is in direct opposition.</description>

		<description>A great point about the actual numbers Pro!  Where&#039;s journalism on this one or on anything anymore?  Non-check and No-balance.  The desertion of the Fourth Estate
You say &quot;how can Americans be so stupid?&quot;  Well that&#039;s complicated.  It&#039;s a combination of actual stupidity, which no doubt does exist to some extent, and careful planning.  There&#039;s no doubt that the &quot;G&quot; uses well researched and highly refined psychological techniques against the people in the name of misdirection and manipulation.  They&#039;ve gained control over Media and apply these techniques 24/7.  It&#039;s no coincidence that they&#039;re now dismantling the Newspaper Industry.  TV and Internet is much more effective in reducing attention spans and discouraging thought.  There is also the infiltration of education, from &quot;Headstart&quot; on through University.  Any coincidence that violent radicals like Ayers now &quot;teach&quot; other &quot;teachers?&quot;  My suspicions are that a World Socialist Cabal is in effect--logic dictates it.  Curious and dubious policy decisions by recent administrations reveal underlying motives that cannot be explained by incompetence.  I&#039;m not promoting a far-out conspiracy theory here, merely collusion and common financial interest among the architects. Reason compels this explanation.  So all of this goes on while Americans concern themselves with the everyday challenges of dealing with the constant manipulation and the business of &quot;life&quot; while they numb themselves with 300 channels of cable, violent video, vapid pop culture and anti-depressant &quot;soma.&quot; Just what will it take to awaken a new generation of &quot;Founders?&quot;  How much misery will we swallow, how much liberty will we toss away?  How far will this go before average Americans decide they&#039;ve had enough?</description>

		<description>badcrow, I&#039;ve been pointing out the actual unemployment figures for a long time.  Earlier in the responses to this article, I had this:

“The number of unemployed persons increased by 787,000 to 14.5 million in May, and the unemployment rate rose to 9.4 percent.” 14,500,000 / .094 means that full employment is 154 million. (Note that more than twice as many jobs were lost in May as the msm reported. What they reported is something called “nonfarm employment” which is a much smaller number).
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

The quote is from the government&#039;s own bls data.  But even that data does not count the &quot;discouraged workers&quot; that your article discusses.   That gets the unemployment rate up to 16.x%.

But I suspect unemployment is probably even higher than 16%.  The census bureau tells us there are 304 million Americans and that 63% are between the ages of 18 and 65, which means there are 191 million Americans of working age.

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html

bls data says there are 140 million currently with jobs (many of whom may be younger than 18 or older than 65, and some of those jobs are probably held by legal and illegal immigrants who aren&#039;t counted in the 304 million Americans).  That means &lt;b&gt; at least 26% of working age Americans do not have jobs&lt;/b&gt;.  Now, some of those are students, some are unable to work, some don&#039;t have to work, and some are retired.    Discovering all that data would be a huge task, but somehow, in the current economic climate, I think the true unemployment rate is probably closer to 26% than it is to 16%.

And even that doesn&#039;t count the underemployed...people who have taken part-time jobs or jobs that don&#039;t utilize their skills out of desperation, because they have to have some money to live.   And even that may not count some people who have multiple jobs (which may be counted as 2 people employed in the employment figures).

But luckily for his supplicants, the president has already &quot;saved&quot; 150,000 jobs and has plans to &quot;save&quot; 600,000 more.

How can Americans be so stupid?</description>

		<description>Hey Pro, Those things are not going unoticed here.  Though the Obammy/GE/Soros propaganda machine that we call the MSM has not acknowledged the irony.  Then again, what did you expect?  It&#039;s only a matter of time until the populace grows tired of the Obammy&#039;s &quot;Let them eat cake&quot; attitude and pulls a Robspierre!  I for one would like to see a return of the American Revolutionary standby of the &quot;Tar and Feathers.&quot;  Not as lethal as the French version of comeuppance , but just as good for making a point.  I&#039;ve got to say though, I&#039;m growing uneasy.  I&#039;ve got friends in the military and the rumors they speak of are unerving to say the least.</description>

		<description>&quot;there is open subversive talk. Some would say crazy, except for the fact that these are your neighbors....screaming at the guy, waving a shovel in the air &quot;

Clingertown.

You guys need to fly in some good pizza cooks, or spend a few weekends in Paris or in NY at some Broadway shows to get over your hatred of our Dear Leader.

Exotic puppies, good-fitting tennis shoes and colorful play sets for the kids also seem to soothe the savage beast.</description>

		<description>Central PA., near our commonwealth&#039;s &quot;Great&quot; Capital.  I live in a relatively affluent neighborhood so there are still folks buying some things, and we are a &quot;Military&quot; area.  Naval Support is here.  But folks I know at DOD are taking substantial pay cuts to save their jobs.  20% in one case for a high level tech worker.  I don&#039;t exagerrate about the empty malls and stores and the closing businesses are a matter of record.  Harley in nearby York is leaving.  A large and storied Carlisle company that supplied GM for 70 plus years, gone....Hershey sent most of their chocolate making to Mexico--those jobs, gone.  A local trucking giant shut it&#039;s doors recently. Barnes and Noble, a few weeks from completing a new giant store that was to be a flagship of a growing Mall, stopped construction and backed out, leaving an almost finished store and a huge vacancy that can&#039;t be filled.  The Market where I run my business is experiencing a huge drop off in consumer traffic, as are others in the area.  Local retailer and restaurateurs are offering multiple coupons and discounts to get people in the door--and it&#039;s not really working.  Real estate here is flagging, houses have been on the market 2 or more years, many sellers giving up and offering their homes for rent only to have them still sit empty.
People are on fire here man.  A daily 3pm talk show takes callers EVERY DAY that scream into the phone about being over taxed, over governed and fed up to the point that callers regularly say things like, &quot;It&#039;s time for a revolution, you tell me where to show up I&#039;ll fight.&quot; and &quot;TEA Parties accomplish nothing until they become GUN Parties!&quot;  I&#039;ve never heard anything like it.  Ever.  And I&#039;ve been to your great Republic!  Talk in the local bars is equally disturbing.  Oh, the downtown Gubment crooks tow the line of Our Dear Leader, but outside the city, there is open subversive talk.  Some would say crazy, except for the fact that these are your neighbors, they go to your church, shop at your business--these are not crackpots-they are us!  Last week my salt of the earth, docile older neighbor ran off a census worker who was trying to get a GPS reading on his address.  He was screaming at the guy, waving a shovel in the air and shouting that the Constitution only allows a count, no questions or GPS &quot;Missle coordinates&quot;, as he called them. 
Things are bad and getting worse, you&#039;re fortunate to be in the Great Republic of Texas, and we&#039;re both fortunate that we&#039;re not in Baltimore or Detroit.  I only hope that nobody sets a major city on fire this summer and gives Chairman Obammy an excuse to impose martial law.</description>

I live in a relatively affluent neighborhood so there are still folks buying some things, and we are a &#8220;Military&#8221; area.  Naval Support is here.  But folks I know at DOD are taking substantial pay cuts to save their jobs.  20% in one case for a high level tech worker.  I don&#8217;t exagerrate about the empty malls and stores and the closing businesses are a matter of record.  Harley in nearby York is leaving.  A large and storied Carlisle company that supplied GM for 70 plus years, gone&#8230;.Hershey sent most of their chocolate making to Mexico&#8211;those jobs, gone.  A local trucking giant shut it&#8217;s doors recently. Barnes and Noble, a few weeks from completing a new giant store that was to be a flagship of a growing Mall, stopped construction and backed out, leaving an almost finished store and a huge vacancy that can&#8217;t be filled.  The Market where I run my business is experiencing a huge drop off in consumer traffic, as are others in the area.  Local retailer and restaurateurs are offering multiple coupons and discounts to get people in the door&#8211;and it&#8217;s not really working.  Real estate here is flagging, houses have been on the market 2 or more years, many sellers giving up and offering their homes for rent only to have them still sit empty.<br />
People are on fire here man.  A daily 3pm talk show takes callers EVERY DAY that scream into the phone about being over taxed, over governed and fed up to the point that callers regularly say things like, &#8220;It&#8217;s time for a revolution, you tell me where to show up I&#8217;ll fight.&#8221; and &#8220;TEA Parties accomplish nothing until they become GUN Parties!&#8221;  I&#8217;ve never heard anything like it.  Ever.  And I&#8217;ve been to your great Republic!  Talk in the local bars is equally disturbing.  Oh, the downtown Gubment crooks tow the line of Our Dear Leader, but outside the city, there is open subversive talk.  Some would say crazy, except for the fact that these are your neighbors, they go to your church, shop at your business&#8211;these are not crackpots-they are us!  Last week my salt of the earth, docile older neighbor ran off a census worker who was trying to get a GPS reading on his address.  He was screaming at the guy, waving a shovel in the air and shouting that the Constitution only allows a count, no questions or GPS &#8220;Missle coordinates&#8221;, as he called them.<br />
Things are bad and getting worse, you&#8217;re fortunate to be in the Great Republic of Texas, and we&#8217;re both fortunate that we&#8217;re not in Baltimore or Detroit.  I only hope that nobody sets a major city on fire this summer and gives Chairman Obammy an excuse to impose martial law.</p>

		<description>Hold onto your gold, silver, and precious/semi-precious stones. When our currency isn&#039;t worth the paper it&#039;s printed on, you&#039;ll need something of value. Any wonder they&#039;re trying to buy it all up?</description>

		<description>Where exactly in the country do you live? Just curious. Because where I live people are still out shopping and the restaurants, even the expensive ones are still packed.  I know there&#039;s a recession going on but I don&#039;t see too much evidence of it here. And this isn&#039;t a rich city I live in either. But it is a military city. And a red state. Yes, people are armed but they were in that state of condition long before George W. even considered running for the White House. Next to Friday night football, Texans love their guns.</description>
