The times are changing faster than a baby's diaper..
The Obamunist's and their quisling lackeys are making strides towards locking down the nation and the states by using illegal laws, edicts from corrupt agencies and Executive orders from the pimp himself.. they are on a roll and desperate to remain in power but remember one thing.. even if the pimp looses the election he has had 4 years to embed his radical marxist scumbags deep in your governments bowels so the change he was talking about is done, you just haven't been a victim of it yet.
It wont take long after the EU collapse for it to get here since our banks with our tarp money, that wasn't spent by Obama to pay back his suitors, financed their debt that isn't getting paid back. When it does you will have very little time to do anything useful.. when people get hungry and desperate they will react and the government will respond with force.. assuming that a big show of overbearing force up front will cow most people into submission however it might just cause them to strike at the root of the problem instead of allowing themselves to be enslaved by a corrupt and unconstitutional government and their quislings..
what if ?
The possibility brings to mind something that bothers me on an all too frequent basis.. what will our civil servants and military do should their employers refuse to submit to illegal power and force ?
Will they follow illegal orders to suppress and destroy the opposition, will they refuse these corrupt orders as they are bound to by their oath before God or will they themselves rise up against our common enemy and strike them from within. Will they fire on Americans who refuse to disperse ?
We must remember something from this scenario in its many possibilities.. there is a commonality in their numbers. They are the sons and daughters of the people they will be sent against to commit violence. It may not be their direct family or neighbors for some other force will be sent after them. Will our own sons and daughters then, by their own willful actions condemn their own families to the servitude and violence they will commit on others ?
Will their willingness to follow such corrupt and illegal orders place their own family members in jeopardy because of the actions of their serving family members ? Is it possible that a PBA or Army, USMC, etc. bumper sticker make them a target as they target others ?
I would hope America's serving members would think it criminal and un-American or Treason to attack their own at the direction of corrupt and illegitimate political orders emanating from traitors just because they said so. I would hope those serving us had better sense than to push this country into such a depraved state that would make the civil war condition of "Brother vs Brother" look like a child's game by comparison.
We all witness how citizens were treated by them during Katrina, we all witnessed the old lady being tackled by a fat slob cop to take away her only means of defense because they all chose to follow illegal orders of a Quisling democrat. Do they really think they can do it again without direct cost ?
I hope and pray to God they have better sense because they do not understand the the storm of violence they will release from their actions if they should act foolishly and stupidly. They may get away with it a bit but it will start and the fault will be theirs and they will regret their sins forever.
I say these word in an attempt to bring about the realization of the possibilities and to make people see that things aren't always the way they appear. We have allowed ourselves to be divided by race, social status and belief because we have been distracted for too long by a comfortable convenient life. When the time for our domestic enemies is right they will try to turn us all against each other one last time to solidify their power and enslave us all, black, white pink or blue, we will al wear the same chains unless we stop the madness now.
Please Open Their Eyes Dear Lord, make them see before it's too late. I pray that the possibilities scare them as much as they scare me.

Taxed by the boss
Across the United States more than 2,700
companies are collecting state income taxes from hundreds of thousands
of workers – and are keeping the money with the states’ approval, says
an eye-opening report published on Thursday.
The report from Good Jobs First, a nonprofit taxpayer watchdog organization funded by Ford, Surdna and other major foundations, identifies 16 states that let companies divert some or all of the state income taxes deducted from workers’ paychecks. None of the states requires notifying the workers, whose withholdings are treated as taxes they paid.
General Electric, Goldman Sachs, Procter & Gamble, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors and AMC Theatres enjoy deals to keep state taxes deducted from their workers’ paychecks, the report shows. Foreign companies also enjoy such arrangements, including Electrolux, Nissan, Toyota and a host of Canadian, Japanese and European banks, Good Jobs First says.
Why do state governments do this? Public records show that large companies often pay little or no state income tax in states where they have large operations, as this column has documented. Some companies get discounts on property, sales and other taxes. So how to provide even more subsidies without writing a check? Simple. Let corporations keep the state income taxes deducted from their workers’ paychecks for up to 25 years.
It was not always this way. Letting companies keep their workers’ state taxes apparently began in Kentucky two decades ago as a way to retain jobs.
Last July when I wrote about six big companies that pocket Illinois state taxes I knew there was more to this. But I had no idea how pervasive these diversions were until I read an advance copy of the 39-page report by Good Jobs First.
CORPORATE SOCIALISM
Deals cut with the states over the past two decades diverted $5.5 billion from public purposes to private gain, the report says. Close to $700 million more was diverted last year, Good Jobs First estimates.
New Jersey approved $73.2 million in new deals in 2011 on top of $178 million diverted that year alone under previous deals. I calculate that at nearly $80 per household in corporate welfare based on New Jersey’s 3.1 million households.
These deals typify corporate socialism, in which business gains are privatized and costs socialized. They also mean government picks winners and losers, interfering with competitive markets. Leaders in both parties embrace these giveaways because they draw campaign donations from corporate interests and votes from people who do not understand that they are subsidizing huge companies.
Michael Press, a Connecticut consultant on tax incentives, says such deals, however troubling, are an inevitable result of the U.S. Constitution setting up competition between the states.
“In an ideal world we would not provide any corporate subsidies,” Press told me. “It looks like corruption. But if you do it right, if you only target those companies whose behavior you change to create jobs or keep jobs in your state then these targeted temporary arrangements are cheaper – much cheaper – and can be more effective than an overall reduction in tax rates.”
The mission of Good Jobs First is making economic development subsidies accountable and effective. In years of working with their data I have always found it sound. While Greg LeRoy, Good Jobs First’s founder, has rooted out all sorts of hidden subsidies over the years, he emphasizes that he is not inherently hostile to them, only to secrecy, waste and what he calls job piracy and job blackmail.
“Job piracy” occurs when one state diverts taxes to lure an employer across state lines. AMC Entertainmentannounced a deal last year to move its corporate headquarters from Kansas City, Mo., to a nearby Kansas suburb. In return, Good Jobs First said, Kansas will let the multiplex chain keep $47 million of state income taxes withheld from its workers’ paychecks, a drain on public finances that did not create any jobs, but does enrich the Wall Street firms that own AMC including arms of J. P. Morgan, Apollo Management, Bain Capital and the Carlyle Group. AMC declined to answer my questions.
“Job blackmail” occurs when a company threatens to close a plant unless it gets tax money.
In Illinois, the law requires companies to threaten to leave before they can keep taxes withheld from paychecks. Motorola Mobility, now being acquired by Google; the truck maker Navistar; the German manufacturer Continental Tire, and three auto makers – Chrysler, Ford and Mitsubishi – get to keep $346.8 in taxes over 10 years because they threatened to leave Illinois. Navistar can pocket $62.1 million even if it fires a quarter of its Illinois workforce, its contract shows. A recent deal gives Sears $150 million, Good Jobs First reported.
PROMISES OF JOBS
Promising to retain jobs can be lucrative. General Electric invested $126 million updating part of its Ohio operations. In return, GE gets a tax credit equal to $115.3 million of its worker taxes, recovering 92 percent of its investment. A sweet deal for GE, but not its competitors.
Gary Sheffer, GE’s top spokesman, said the company told its workers about the deal. In all, he said, GE is investing around $300 million in Ohio and “the resulting taxes the state will receive will far exceed the tax credits provided to GE.”
That response, I think, misses the point – GE should pay its own bills without taking welfare.
Many figures in the Good Jobs First report are from disclosure reports some states make. Others come from news accounts and company announcements.
Total revenue losses are higher than the report states. First, some states hide the costs. Phil Mattera, the research director at Good Jobs First, said he lists the cost as zero for states that hide the numbers.
Good Jobs First wants to end these diversions, but failing that recommends mandatory disclosure to the workers as the first reform. I concur. It’s the first step in ending corporate welfare as we know it.

A Citizen's Guide to Identifying Modern Day QUISLINGS
At every turn those voicing opposition to the present call for "Change" to globalism, Socialism or whatever you choose to call the treason being perpetrated on us by our domestic enemies have been libeled and labeled by those presently in power as Terrorists, Right Wing Extremists, Whacko's and other vile names. There are numerous posters in every type of business, utility or entity explicitly defining just how to identify someone who presents actions or attributes of what these domestic enemies claim identifies them as potential terrorists.. one of their favorites is the "Lone Wolf" which is an all encompassing description that gives them leeway in accusing damn near anyone.
In order to level the playing field and to help those remaining useful idiots open their eyes its time "We the People" had a primer of our own describing how to identify those who are acting against us, our families and our country. While the broad brush approach may not be the best way it will surely cover the majority of the scum you should be watching out for..In that vein I present this Citizens Guide to Identifying Quislings:
For starters lets define a QUISLING
noun traitor, betrayer, collaborator, renegade, Judas, turncoat, fifth columnist
QUISLING WATCH LIST
1. Not all Civil Servants qualify however while most appear to be God fearing citizens who work hard and honor their oath of service it takes but the few that do fit paint them all the same color because they go forward, unopposed by any, from fear of reprisal, loss of pay or union pressures.. They don't all work as civil servants, some are hiding out as teachers or other educational sector vermin who have historically been the most active and effective in producing ignorance and the collective mindset in the unsuspecting minds of the children of America for the past 5 generations that has its roots in the radical 60's emanating from leftist ratholes like Berkley,Columbia and the like. Their recent performance as protesting union members in Wisconsin further enforces the vision of activist teachers violating the trust of American families while promoting anti American collectivist crap and false guilt. Some are elected, some appointed but they all have that special stench of betrayal and lies.
2. They almost always become agitated and angry when confronted with factual evidence or complaints about their activities. Typically the higher up the pecking order the higher the anger and agitation level rises.. after all who are you to question them ?
3. Enforcers.. most commonly identified as law enforcement at all levels including federal state and local. May also include private security firms under "contract", non official govt employees and even unsworn federal employees. Over the last 50 years there has been a decided and measurable increase in the amount of violence and of Civil Rights Violations perpetrated on citizens by this group. You can track and/or verify that HERE if you have a mind to. it has become SOP for law enforcement to violate your rights as a matter of course claiming that the "Safety of the Officers" overrides your right to constitutional protection from their abuses. What ever happened to their sacred oath to "Serve and Protect" ? ..oh that's right, its just a marketing phrase.
4. Like termites they despise the open air and public arena. They rarely allow themselves to be put in positions that take away their ability to intimidate, lie, misrepresent, obfuscate or redirect the topic of the minute.
5. They all continually manipulate the situation of the moment to promote peer pressure by political correctness and intimidation by threat to accomplish their goal to gain or manage your compliance. They never ask, they always use power.
6. They always present themselves as friend with a helping hand but they just want to get it in your pocket.. like that grubbing relative who only comes around when there's a handout or no work.
7. They talk down or at you rather than to you because in their eyes you need to be managed and monitored.. by police, teachers, govt, doctors.. they want to control your every move and they see you as having no right of refusal.
There are more definitions but these will get you started.. Always remember that creepy feeling you get around people who, for some weird reason, give you the creeps. It makes no matter who they are or what they do.. remember that feeling.. when the hair on the back of your neck stands up pay very close attention because while they are reaching out to shake your hand in greeting their other hand has cuffs and chains in it.
That's about the time you should act.

I had hoped to not ever find ourselves in such a position and the ranting implications and veiled threats of Obama and his mutant minions to SCOTUS among others has become a screech in my ear like nails on a chalkboard. It was only until reading this post that it became a clear and present danger in reality of becoming fact all too soon.
On thinking this through it appears the Domestic Enemies have left us few choices they don't already feel comfortable dealing with on one level or another. It's almost as if they think its now time for them to get us out of their way once and for all.. I would hope and pray Americans are made of better stuff than these bastards. My guts tell me we wont have to wait long to find out, I predict this spring/summer before elections, and they also tell me that if Americans, not black, white, hispanic or other Americans but ALL who see themselves as Americans, from all sides in this battle, don't come together and put these bastards in the chains they have planned for us we are done as a Free Land and People. Our ancestors, fathers, brothers and sons who have made the ultimate sacrifice will hold us all in deep contempt and our children and grand children for generations to come will cure our putrid souls forever.

Coming to YOU.. This Spring and Summer
We've all heard about the OCCUPY idiots coming back when things warm up a bit more for the Obamunist minions.. but what happens when you combine their activities with the rampant race baiting and calls for "Dead or Alive" by the Black Panthers, aids and useful idiots in the media of "Rev' Al Sharpton, Jesse "the Poverty Pimp" Jackson and all the sub level radical black marxist and comsymp activists dredged up by your Domestic Enemies all get cranking this summer ?
Did you really believe Obama thought Travon Martin's looking like his never born son was an innocent fathers comment or was it one to demonstrate that he is sympatico with all the preps for upcoming race strife and angst his organizers are stirring up for this summer when its 98 degs out and humid and the Occupy mutts go off on a tangent somewhere.. Lets not forget the pimp's enforcer Eric Holder who in keeping faith with "his people" gave the Black Panthers a pass for intimidating voters and this is from the head of the DOJ.. and you expected what ?
Does anyone remember the race riots in the 60's ? We are being prepped people. We are being setup for race riots and occupy riots and the perfect excuse for the Obamunist's to declare a state of emergency and put off elections.. remember his recently signed Executive Order 3 weeks back now dont you ? Anyone seen Valerie Jarret lately ?
How about those Flash Mob Attacks that started out as dance renditions and quickly degenerated in racial attacks in major citoes across the country then disappeared as if they never happened.. imagine that. What if all of this was just a dry run to test the feasibility and effectiveness ? ..can you say Van Jones ?
What if I'm right ? You would be concerned if you had any brains. How will you defend yourself against a mob in a mall ? How will you protect your home if riots break out ? How will you deal with the military being in the streets telling you there will be no election and you cant do anything about it ?
This country has a lot in common with the Fire Triangle that defines what it takes to start a fire burning..
This administration and its collection of czars planning for years in the back ground dont do anything with out options to cover changes and detailed ops plans for contingencies.. they have it all laid out.. there are NO Coincidences in anything these Domestic Enemies do.
If you choose to ignore this so be it. I would prefer to be wrong but history and circumstances say otherwise.. Its much later than you think.
Domestic Enemies by any other name.

Obama's Concessions to His Handlers
"This is my last election, I will have more flexibility after I'm elected"
During discussions about American defensive measures in europe and asia our president gets caught sucking up to the Russians.. imagine that. They have been his paymasters for years.. its time to pay up but..
..an open mic gives the people some insight to Obama's marxist agenda. Most of the media is speaking to his words of "I will have more flexibility after I'm elected" but the tell is in the begnning.
What exactly does he mean by "This is my last election " and how does he know for sure he will be elected ?
Then you have Medvedev's reply.. "I understand completely"
After all the corruption this administration has brought to us, his violation of so many constitutional limitations and his connections to so many radical activists why would anyone think this is just an innocent conversation ? The useful fools will fall in step.

The Spiritual Leader of our Domestic Enemy has Declared..
Shriveled Old Commie Bitch
This shriveled old communist twat has been actively engaged in subverting your liberty and your country for too many years. Her scumbag husband and co-conspirator, Richard Cloward, died in 2001, while he is rotting in hell his comsymp wife carries the hammer and sickle onward and this rank old bitch is still poisoning the gene pool to some extent, I can only hope she gets her just deserts soon, her useless idiot followers are on the march as she declares openly their connections to Democrats, Progressives and those scumbags who have been their paymaster since the 60's, Communists, Marxists and the other part of the globalist equation.. oxygen thief George Soros and his pals.
As it stands now there isnt anyone with a brain who could honestly declare that the Unions and their membership, the Progressive and Democrat parties along with all those fake caucuses in both houses and every branch of govt but for a few individual exceptions, are really not your enemies.. and if you are stupid enough to make such a claim I'm sure there will be a hole reserved for you, along with others, by them when they are done with your services. If you cant remember.. historically all communists and their lackies always execute those who no longer serve a purpose, it reduces the threat from within their ranks should you morons ever get a clue.
Pay attention people.. your Domestic Enemies are very active in real time. The racists are cranking up the drums of riots and retaliation in Florida, the comsymp at the DOJ, Eric Holder is instigating and even Obama has chimed in with his racist slick doubletalk.
The enforcers are already practicing how to manage and control you enmasse for when you begin to object to their treason and if you need more look to police/law enforcement training in preparation for the RNC in Tampa.. all federally funded by the Obamunist's of course.
When the occupy trash and their associates start up in the spring you will get a new feel for how much they can get away with but keep in mind that only they can do those things, you will get arrested quick.

Everything they do, plan or create was always posted there as a requirement to allow queries, complaints or general discussion about the topic posted. Believe it or not its usually more accurte then you would think. To test my theory try a search using a few random letters by themselves, you might be surprised at you results. The actual posting is done by some low level minion who does his job in exacting detail.. good for us.
Dig deeply in all the lists, search at first using generic wide ranging words and then filter the result to get your topic, dont try and search accurately for the specific term it rarely gets all the data. Things in government are not always in order or the proper location according to normal thinking. These groups and listings are from all agencies from executive orders, Dept of State to local agency office details..

Executive Order -- National Defense Resources Preparedness
EXECUTIVE ORDER
NATIONAL DEFENSE RESOURCES PREPAREDNESS
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2061 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:
PART I - PURPOSE, POLICY, AND IMPLEMENTATION
Section 101. Purpose. This order delegates authorities and addresses national defense resource policies and programs under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the "Act").
Sec. 102. Policy. The United States must have an industrial and technological base capable of meeting national defense requirements and capable of contributing to the technological superiority of its national defense equipment in peacetime and in times of national emergency. The domestic industrial and technological base is the foundation for national defense preparedness. The authorities provided in the Act shall be used to strengthen this base and to ensure it is capable of responding to the national defense needs of the United States.
Sec. 103. General Functions. Executive departments and agencies (agencies) responsible for plans and programs relating to national defense (as defined in section 801(j) of this order), or for resources and services needed to support such plans and programs, shall:
(a) identify requirements for the full spectrum of emergencies, including essential military and civilian demand;
(b) assess on an ongoing basis the capability of the domestic industrial and technological base to satisfy requirements in peacetime and times of national emergency, specifically evaluating the availability of the most critical resource and production sources, including subcontractors and suppliers, materials, skilled labor, and professional and technical personnel;
(c) be prepared, in the event of a potential threat to the security of the United States, to take actions necessary to ensure the availability of adequate resources and production capability, including services and critical technology, for national defense requirements;
(d) improve the efficiency and responsiveness of the domestic industrial base to support national defense requirements; and
(e) foster cooperation between the defense and commercial sectors for research and development and for acquisition of materials, services, components, and equipment to enhance industrial base efficiency and responsiveness.
Sec. 104. Implementation. (a) The National Security Council and Homeland Security Council, in conjunction with the National Economic Council, shall serve as the integrated policymaking forum for consideration and formulation of national defense resource preparedness policy and shall make recommendations to the President on the use of authorities under the Act.
(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall:
(1) advise the President on issues of national defense resource preparedness and on the use of the authorities and functions delegated by this order;
(2) provide for the central coordination of the plans and programs incident to authorities and functions delegated under this order, and provide guidance to agencies assigned functions under this order, developed in consultation with such agencies; and
(3) report to the President periodically concerning all program activities conducted pursuant to this order.
(c) The Defense Production Act Committee, described in section 701 of this order, shall:
(1) in a manner consistent with section 2(b) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2062(b), advise the President through the Assistant to the President and National Security Advisor, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, and the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy on the effective use of the authorities under the Act; and
(2) prepare and coordinate an annual report to the Congress pursuant to section 722(d) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2171(d).
(d) The Secretary of Commerce, in cooperation with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and other agencies, shall:
(1) analyze potential effects of national emergencies on actual production capability, taking into account the entire production system, including shortages of resources, and develop recommended preparedness measures to strengthen capabilities for production increases in national emergencies; and
(2) perform industry analyses to assess capabilities of the industrial base to support the national defense, and develop policy recommendations to improve the international competitiveness of specific domestic industries and their abilities to meet national defense program needs.
PART II - PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONS
Sec. 201. Priorities and Allocations Authorities. (a) The authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2071, to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, is delegated to the following agency heads:
(1) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;
(2) the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;
(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;
(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation;
(5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and
(6) the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.
