ACORN Lives and Dies by Chaos 

All governments steal from their subjects it is their nature. That theft comes in three forms: coercion; taxes, and inflation. “That government is best which governs least” is the ideal that our founding fathers put forward in 1787 when creating the American Constitution. The most Republican of documents, the “Bill of Right” ensured that governmental stealing such as the colonists had faced under British rule via coercion and taxes would be held to a minimum. That worked well. 

Then by insisting upon hard currency, the founding fathers attempted to limit the theft-vehicle known as inflation. That also worked well, but only for 140 some years . . . Franklin Roosevelt in his inanity decided those creators of America were passé and he undertook measures that turned a mild panic into the worst depression the country has known. Although objectively the country was on the rebound four months after FDR assumed office, it was only the arrival of World War II that saw a full-fledged American rebound as a 33-month debacle became an 11.6 year ordeal thanks to Roosevelt’s destruction of hard currency, creation of overnight inflation and general socialistic programs . . . .

That great admirer of FDR, Barak Obama is striving mightily to create his own Great Depression and to initiate an inflation of such a magnitude as America has never known. Inflation and deficit spending, indeed, are weapons in the Obama arsenal just as the big lie “we’re facing the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression” is also a weapon in the Obama arsenal.

1.       Creation of the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913

2.      FDR’s confiscation of Gold and “overnight” inflation of 41% in 1933-34

3.      FDR’s creation of the Social Security Administration (now bankrupt) in 1934

4.      Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society and most particularly the creation of Medicare  in1965 (Medicare obligations are now $34TRillion which cannot be met) and the Nanny State.

5.      LBJ’s further atrocity requiring the individual states to fund the Medicaid Program which is also bankrupt

6.      Social engineering based upon radical feminist demands (beyond the sensible demands of the “women’s movement” itself) that fundamentally worked to undermine the American family and the institution of marriage.

7.       The combination of the 1977 Jimmy Carter and 1998 Bill Clinton liberal programs creating absurd mortgage guarantee legislation that first created 19% inflation in 1980 and 1981; and then bankrupted the nation in 2006-2008.

8.      The government string of bailouts and stimulus programs in 2008 and 2009 that have doubled the national deficit in five months combined with the Bernanke printing of funny money to the extent of fourteen new dollars for every dollar in circulation in 2008.

Obamacare (health care “reform”; Cap and Trade; and the promise/threat of Obama creating five million green-tech jobs (at the cost of eleven million real jobs from the greater economy to create only 500,000 permanent green-tech jobs) are three more incredibly short-sighted liberal initiatives designed, it seems to bankrupt the nation and recreate the Great Depression.

However, another Great Depression is perhaps the least of the threats. Either runaway inflation/hyper inflation or an accompanying depression-like stagflation accompanying the hyper-inflation would bring on the ultimate economic misery. That, of course would cover up the four great boondoggles created by mortgage guarantee tomfoolery; Medicare and Medicaid and the creation of Social Security which has brought the nation to the brink. If an artificial crisis of such magnitude as a second great depression can be manufactured, none of the sins of the liberal past need be uncovered by the unobservant masses. Hey, it’s a plan!

                Obama’s paid leave initiative a.k.a. the “Healthy Families Act” is the most radical Marxist wolf in sheep’s clothing of the bunch. Yes, it’s an obvious GSB, government spending boondoggle. Yes, it’s an unnecessary infringement on the workplace by government again. Yes, it sounds good but will cost a lot of money . . . but “the most radical”????? Let’s face it Barak’s pretty radical . . . the most radical?

                This bill providing a mere seven paid days of sick leave will either destroy the American workplace or so fundamentally alter it that it will become unrecognizable within ten years. The very first thing to recognize is that it is another liberal “social engineering” experiment.   Any employer with fifteen employees or more will be required by the law to provide paid leave for any personal medical condition including mental health considerations; or the diagnosis of such a condition for that employee, any family member or anyone with whom the employee has the “equivalent of a family relationship.” Obviously homosexual relationships spring to mind; but “living together” without benefit of marriage is clearly covered and Rajjpuut can imagine a whole slew of new ambulance-chasing scheisters making a living off just that last provision of the law guaranteeing protection for all manner of distantly-extended families and “friendship” relationships as well as real families.

 “I will NOT approve any plan that cost one dime** more in deficits. I will, of course, approve any plan that costs $20 TRillion in deficits, but absolutely ‘NO’ to any plan that costs exactly a dime more in deficits . . .” Since the CBO (Congressional Budget Office shows a minimal cost of $239 Billion more . . . it took some brass huevos to make this claim, Mr. Obama. Moral bankruptcy is definitely your ace in the hole. Common sense would make anyone with a 70 IQ or higher realize that the president’s whole speech was a pack of lies.

On top of his lies, there is the smoke and mirrors involved in eliminating abuse, fraud and waste that 50-some years of Medicare and Medicaid inspections have yet to eliminate . . . truly Houdini has nothing on Baraki.

Free lunch-wise even the most obtuse must be wondering where do all the new nurses, doctors, specialists, equipment, clinics and hospitals arise from to make this new system work (because he did guarantee a program without greater cost or inconvenience for those who already have insurance coverage, didn’t he?) – in fact, some may even be wondering about the free lunch program called Medicare that is now up to $34 TRillion in obligations it can NEVER cover and scheduled to run officially bankrupt in 2016. Is this new program just to cover up the tracks of the old morally and fiscally bankrupt government spending boondoggle and push its day of judgment so far off into the future that Americans will not equate the truth with the . . . uh truth?

Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,

1.  
   1. Obamacare will not cost one dime in increased deficits.
   2. Seniors have absolutely no worry. Everything they have now is guaranteed at the same price and quality after Obamacare.
   3. No rationing of health care will occur and no inconvenient lines for health care will result from Obamacare.
   4. Everyone will be satisfied, no one will be disappointed by the finished product
   5. Single-payer health care insurance coverage is NOT really important to me, to us, and is really NO part of this debate.  Talk about this being the first step in government takeover of the health care industry is ridiculous.
   6. People with insurance in force now needn’t worry, they will have the same insurance when Obamacare arrives.
   7. If a consultation group ration health care medicine and treatment to the elderly that’s not exactly a “death panel, seniors will stil get EXACTLY the same treatment, of course.
   8. Even if we do NOT require proof of American citizenship for patients, indeed took out those provisions, Obamacare still will NOT allow illegal immigrants access to covered care.
   9. Even if we removed provisions saying that abortion would NOT be covered by the bill, that doesn’t mean abortion will be covered, it won’t.
   10. Tort reform on malpractice will be taken into the project.
   11. States with just one health insurer like Alabama are the reason that a public sector is necessary.
   12. There is an actual finished plan now in evidence, rather than five still being written plans.
   13. This is truly a bi-partisan effort.
   14. The few problems run into so far are the results of the opposition playing politics; exaggerating; creating straw men; creating false issues; making bogus claims; using scare tactics; deliberate misinformation;  and otherwise obstructing the “real debate.”  Everybody of conscience is already on board with my ideas.
   15. The public option is just a small issue in the whole matter (really, we coul just leave it out, no problem!)
   16. Only a few details remain to be ironed out.
   17. I can be trusted.
   18. Liberal programs that increase the size of government and are set up “supposedly” to pay for themselves will only increase government’s size marginally and do pay for themselves.
   19. The president will call us out . . . for our lies, Hah!
   20. The Congressional Budget Office projections are lies but all Obama statements and liberal statements about the deficit; the cost and the impact on the size of government are true.
   21. No serious objections (just misinformation, politics, bogus claims, etc.) have been raised by independents, or conservative.
   22. Continuous expansion of the national government is the national character of America.
   23. I, Barak Obama, am the ultimate authority on all things about health care.
   24. Actually, I Barak Obama, am the ultimate authority on all things.
   25. I want this you must, in good conscience give this to me.
   26. We’ve already done a great job with the government so far.
   27. I’ve earned your trust so that my future plans are obviously trustworthy endeavors that you feel must be undertaken.
   28. Everything I’m telling you tonight makes absolute iron-clad fiscal sense and adds up in all other ways too.
   29. Nancy Pelosi who is behind be on this and smiling and nodding her head is a good bellwether on the veracity of my statements, the logic of my arguments and the soundness of my proposals. Since you trust her so much, you trust me and the points I make in this speech.
   30. My facts, logic and direction in this speech have been flawless, so you must cooperate or you are either a fool; corrupt or just playing politics.
                    That's a lot of implicit and explicit lying . . . presumably no other president in the history of the United States  has ever gotten close to that amount of chicanery while facing the congress (and by extension) and the people.  Conservatives and Republican standing and applauding the deceitful claims of Obamacare delivered by a deceitful president should be ashamed.  In fact anyone who didn't "Boo!" the president's deceitful words is not really a statesman.  Obama deliberately came before the country and the congress to lie and to deceive and he was given, what 30 standing ovations?  For shame. 

To call Barak Obama “a phony” is to insult phonies everywhere. While the media was aghast at the words “You LIE!” yelled by an outraged Republican at Obama during his propagandistic health care speech delivery, Rajjpuut was aghast that Republicans were standing an applauding the Liar in Chief. In one man’s honest appraisal the health-care reform speech by Barak Obama was 5% truth. 10% truth weasel-worded into big picture falsehood and 85% pure lies. If conservatives of any ilk, “compromise” with this evil man they deserve to sleep the sleep of the corrupt all their days on earth.

FDA Fouls up on Ritalin; Won’t Admit Error

Ritalin Does NOT Work, Creates Big Health Problems

and thanks to FDA Still on the Market

Remember that in this anti-FDA series . . . with the strong likelihood of a new and expensive health care program being created this summer, a program which is NOT calling for the complete scrap-heaping and re-organization of the FDA, Rajjpuut has boldly stated that if only one step to improve health care could be done: the only one that should be considered first is eliminating the FDA.

Criticized recently for raving against pharmaceutical companies creating “long term subscribers to their dangerous, expensive and unnecessary concoctions that do not cure anything, and only mask symptoms,” Rajjpuut was asked, “Surely you exaggerate to make your point?”  Not one iota. The groups that are exaggerating are the FDA and the huge pharmaceutical companies. Here’s the most famous recent time their exaggerations caught up to them . . . in Great Britain, but not apparently in this country, yet.

If you’ve read his blogs for anytime at all, you may be aware that as a boy Rajjpuut would clearly have been descrived as the typically diagnosed child  today with so-called ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) look like a geriatric with sleeping sickness. So the diagnosis surely would have been: Rajjpuut the ADHD child. Rajjpuut actually learned to focus and concentrate as a boy playing chess from the age of eleven on and the problem disappeared gradually at first and then quickly once he reached high school. There are perhaps a good ten thousand outlets like chess that’ll do the trick (kung fu; archery; etc., etc.,  . . .) no big deal. However, the FDA exaggerated the safety and allowed Novartis to greatly exaggerate the benefits of Ritalin which is now under fire in the United Kingdom . . . and that's the only proper way to control ADHD according to the FDA. 

So let’s look at this more closely: does Ritalin cure anything? NO!

Does Ritalin mask symptoms? YES!

Is Ritalin prescribed for long-term use? YES!

Does Ritalin have side effects we should be aware of? YES!

Is Ritalin expensive? YES!

Should this drug Ritalin be reclassified as a POISON?   YES!

So Ritalin qualifies on every count, (or from the FDA viewpoint:  Ritalin should have been DISqualified on every point!) and Novartis fits perfectly in the niche as a big pharmaceutical company creating “long term subscribers to their dangerous, expensive and unnecessary concoctions that do not cure anything, and only mask symptoms.” In fact I’d heard that there were ongoing class action suits against Novartis, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and CHAD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) for colluding to dramatically increase the number of incidences of patients being diagnosed with this disease. In seventeen years the number of referrals with this diagnosis has risen 3000 percent. Thus if one child in a huge 3rd grade class were ADHD in 1992, today all but one child in that class would have such a diagnosis (imagine the joy of teaching the little zombies!) and in all cases they would be told that “Ritalin is the drug of choice.”

So the psychiatric definition has been so significantly altered that virtually any child with any energy in America is considered a very likely ADHD kid . . . how’s that for corrupt? Remember again, that Rajjpuut’s favorite kicking boy, the FDA is the one that down-played any evil side-effects of Ritalin and its imitators and that agreed with Novartis that the benefits were great. Well let’s fast forward to recent times when, as they always do the FDA chickens have come home to roost and it looks like Ritalin is about as dangerous as they come but like so many other instances of FDA incompetence, the drug is NOT recalled, they just add a bigger sized set of warnings on the packaging and inside the box. How bad is it, you ask?

A.    Recent studies indicate first of all, there is absolutely NO beneficial long-term effect. In fact, the studies indicate that the initial short-term benefits were deliberately exaggerated. NICE!

B.     Studies also indicate long-term usage brings about significant damage to the cardiovascular system:  patients get CV disorders, sometimes have heart attacks and strokes (much more likely in adults taking Ritalin, but even children can suffer from this problem).

C.     Studies also indicate long-term usage brings about behavioral problems like increased aggression, moodiness, anorexia, depression and suicidal thoughts, etc.

D.    Studies also indicate long-term usage brings about stunting of growth in both height and weight and may postpone puberty.

E.     Studies also indicate long-term usage brings about very powerful symptoms like: “hearing voices,” “acute paranoia,” sudden death from CV problems and suicide attempts.

F.      Recent studies indicate, you’ll remember: absolutely NO long-term beneficial effect and that any short-term benefits were deliberately exaggerated!

Rajjpuut would like to ask his detractors and any thinking person to carefully re-read the six paragraphs immediately above this one and ask himself: A.  What benefits ever came from this drug? B. What harm came from this drug? C. Who besides Novartis and the FDA benefits from it being initially approved and NOW kept on the market instead of being removed from circulation? (The FDA doesn’t look so bad, if all that’s necessary is to add a firmer warning).

The premise of this and all the rants against the FDA are that it is the single most corrupt and harmful government source of health care problems and NO health care program now or later can succeed without complete elimination or revamping of this “Evil Empire.”

               Special Treasury Department Inspector General to oversee the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) Neil M. Barofsky made himself very Unpopular in the Obama camp a few months ago^^ when he called a spade a spade.  Barofsky, daring to tell the world there is NO FREE LUNCH calculated the government’s maximum exposure on the financial sector bailouts he was watch-dogging:  could reach $24 Trillion.  He has repeatedly attacked Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and the Treasury Department for repeatedly failing to adopt recommendations aimed at making the government financial rescue effort more accountable and transparent. Now lets’ put that $24 TRillion figure in perspective . . .

1. 1.        That’s just the first bailout the $819 Billion TARP he’s talking about, the one passed during the waning days of the Bush administration by bi-partisan efforts
2. 2.     That comes to a $78,076 obligation for every man, woman and child in this country. Most children, by the way, average a $3 allowance per week.
3. 3.      Obama’s personal stimulus plan of $1.34 Trillion passed almost exclusively by his Democratic majority in the House and Senate can be expected to have a similar effect on the economy. There was a strong effort to get the second bailout to be called Bad-Asset-Relief-Fund or BARF. Today’s taxpayers presumably feel that the acronym is personally apropos. The net downward drag on the economy from that one might well reach $45 or $50 TRillion (we can’t tell because there are no Barofsky’s watching over those funds for us) . . . but if it comes to $48 TRillion, which is easy to work with, then there’s another $156,000 obligation for each man, woman and child.
4. 4.      Obama has more than doubled the National debt to $11.8 Trillion which comes to $36, 874.73 cents for each man, woman and child.
5. 5.      Medicare is scheduled to run out in 2016 and right now has incurred contractual obligations of $37.8 TRillion. The reason that President Obama was in such an all-fired toot to pass his Obamacare initiatives is to cover-up the fact that Medicare is a huge GSB (government spending boondoggle) by replacing it with a new (and much worse) form of health care interference by the federal government to push the problem as far back in history as they possibly can so that citizen tax-payers never see or understand the real price of GSB** interference in their lives. In this case that $37.8 TRillion obligation from Medicare comes to $121,000 more for every person.
6. 6.      The other two great GSBs, Social Security and Medicaid are likewise going broke and have at various times been projected to end in bankruptcy with huge UN-MEETABLE obligations . . . but, surprise-surprise, each time the key “moment of truth” approached some sort of miraculous new GSB was created to push that Judgment Day back into the future. Social Security, for example is now supposedly OK till 2037. Social Security, was, of course the first great government spending boondoggle. It survived sort-of because the ratio throughout its history was roughly 3.3 workers putting in funds to every worker receiving assistance. Now with the Baby Boomer generation and through the foreseeable future to at least the year 2083, seven decades in the future, the ratio is expected to be roughly 2.2 workers for every benefits recipient but dipping slightly below 2.0 workers for every recipient by 2080. The key concern here is that while Social Security is a pittance compared to funding Medicare, right now a whole lot of workers (roughly 15.3% not the government’s official 9.7%) are out of work and NOT earning money to create payments into the Social Security Trust Fund. If this continues and the Social Security bite becomes $3.1 Trillion dollars in unfunded obligations than the taxpayers can be on the hook for another $10,000.
7. 7.       All told $10,000 + $121,000 + $37,000 + $156,000 + $78,000 . . . why, Rajjpuut, believes we’re talking BIG money here . . . roughly $402,000 in obligations for every man woman and child. NICE! That is the now not-so-hidden cost of government spending boondoggles (GSBs). Aren’t you glad you know? Wouldn’t that have helped us make better decisions way back when?

^^On July 20, his office released a report estimating the $700 billion effort to shore up the nation's wobbly banking system could end up costing taxpayers as much as $23.7 trillion, due to estimates for programs offered by the FDIC, federal money for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other institutions on top of $7.4 trillion in TARP and other Treasury aid. A spokesperson for the Treasury Department quickly called the numbers flawed, making this the latest in the back and forth between Barofsky's oversight office — which currently has 35 ongoing criminal and civil investigations of suspected accounting, securities and mortgage fraud — and the Treasury Department over the handling of TARP disbursements.

**As an aside, going back to Medicare: the “death panels” that Obama denies are part of his bill (but really are) are actually vital. If you look at the history of medical bills and drug costs for people over age 65, typically 47% of the total cost to take care of these factors is incurred during the last six months of life. The simple expedient of having an inhumane set of decision-makers decide upon resource allotment for these dying folk would do a lot to make Medicare approach fiscal-viability . . . however, whether it’s done by Democrats or Republicans it’s a political disaster as loyal readers can already see . . . Of course projections for creating a society akin to that of the “Logan’s Run” movie where no one above age 30 was allowed to live are, at present, a bit far-fetched LOL! Anyway the nature of GSBs is that they quickly  multiply and spin all out of control because it’s always popular to appear to be “giving away something for nothing” (a.k.a. free lunch) and incumbents like to do popular things to keep getting re-elected. Who’s paying for all this? Right now a few American and a lot of foreigners. 

 Europe and China, Japan, Russia, India and the big holders of U.S. Debt have a choice they can get out of the dollar-investing club and come up with a new “world reserve currency” or they can continue to be the fall guys for Washington’s excesses and inanities and buy America out of its problems while dooming their own countries to bankruptcy . . . what will they decide? Rajjpuut’s got his money on them protecting their countries’ and their own power self-interests by ship-canning the American Dollar forever. Chances of a new world gold currency are very high.

                At the 11^th hour yesterday, on the verge of making a historic breakthrough, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reverted to form as its members voted unanimously against approval of clean, clear Rocky Mountain air as a healthful substance.

                Citing precedent, “We’ve never before voted for anything that couldn’t be expected to kill 10,000 people in the first three months of use . . . so we figured this was no time to ‘get fancy’,” said FDA consultant Ima Dumass.   “No, we looked into the matter quite carefully and decided that the  . . .

• C.      fishing was bad for the mosquitoes in the environment slapped to death
• D.     a diet of roasted potatoes,  hot dogs and marshmallows cooked over an open fire was not sufficient to sustain life

                Calling  Van Jones “an official specializing in advice on green jobs” rather than Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar,” Whitehouse officials praised the efforts and input of the controversial Black Power advocate who had just resigned.  Controversy about Jones’ association with and signature of a petition for the 9/11 Truther organization; Marxist economic views; and vile defamation of President G.W. Bush and the Republican Party proved to be an unwanted distraction as Obama puts everything on the back burner but his Obamacare health care insurance initiative.

                “On the eve of historic fights for health care reform and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,” Jones said in announcing his resignation.  Jones omitted to mention that he called Bush a “crackhead” for wanting to drill for domestic sources of oil; that he signed a petition accusing high-level officials in the Bush administration of creating 9/11; that his Marxist past was easily verified and that he’d produced an album narrated by a cop-killer that attacks everything possible to attack about the United States which mentions the word “revolution” about a half-dozen times. The unimpressive “music” can be found here:

http://www.thedcwriteup.com/2009/09/green-jobs-czar-van-jones-resigns/

                From the first moments, the long list of past inflammatory statements from Van Jones made it obvious that nomination of such a man could never have stood up during normal vetting and interview processes, so he became one of Obama’s 36 czars. Jones’ most recent shenanigans included leading an “advertising boycott” of Glenn Beck’s show on FOX because Beck called Obama a “racist”  based upon his lip-slip comment in the wake of  Professor Gates' arrest.  The boycott effort was run via “colorofchange.org" a group that Jones created, although he denied any association with the group or even knowing about the boycott.

                It was a heady time, Inauguration Day, President Obama’s overall approval rating had begun at an amazing +31% (65% - 34%) and his strong approval rating an even more amazing +30% (45% - 15%). In less than seven and a half months, however, Obama the Deity has shown himself to have feet of clay as a politician, as an idealist and especially as a man. 

As a politician, Obama’s troublesome gaffes, inconsistencies and Biden-like blurt-outs would fill a large book. Indeed, if he didn’t have the liberal press protecting him by omitting reports of his incompetent acts, he’d already have made the younger Bush look like a “smooth operator.” Obama’s foibles, however, don’t make him seem more human,  just more petty and inconsistent.

As an idealist, it’s becoming more and more common even to the most obtuse that Barak Obama is a Marxist, not a socialist, a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist who surrounds himself with a cadre of czars with Marxist leanings. As that fact sinks in, fewer and fewer Americans feel kinship with Obama, for his vision of American is alien to the average man’s idealism and vision of America's possibilities. Where Everyman sees strength and good, Obama sees only shortfalls and horrid imbalances in need of drastic change. Obama may push through legislation bringing about stark change by the power of the sweeping antipathy giving Democrats control of both houses and the oval office at the same time, but each move to bigger government and more controlling government makes more and more people distinctly uneasy. 

Of course the Republicans are to blame for that antipathy (they didn’t persevere and get the true story out so every American could know it) . . .  and the media, too willing to grab on to a feel-good liberal story (electing the first black man into the presidency) and a chance to point the finger at conservatives for the mess they made (being liberal and unwilling to trace the simple history of the problem back to 1998 and Clinton’s and the Democrats’ mortgage-guarantee legislation which created all the sub-prime defaults). Even today, they let Obama get away with obvious falsehoods like “I don’t want to hear a lot of noise from the people that caused the mess.” Getting it balanced and getting it right -- that would be asking for too much from the liberal press.

But it is as a man that Barak Obama is now shown up the worst. It’s beginning to be obvious that he has no integrity, he makes up facts, he covers-up lies with other lies. The average American doesn’t seem to notice these obvious things very often, but when the pattern gets to be plain, too plain . . . well, even a blind sow can stumble upon an acorn from time to time. The Gates-Beer Summit fiasco, showed that he like most Blacks is more willing to spout racism, than most Whites are. The masses of Americans don’t like him nearly so much, and trust him far less than they did. If he raises taxes on the middle-class, consider him cooked. If runaway inflation rears its ugly head, consider him cooked. If 95% of Americans don’t have a job by this time next year, consider him cooked. Barak Obama can still survive and even thrive, but he’s going to need the greatest string of luck since “The Three Princes of Serendip”  back in 1557.

Barak Obama is still in bed with powerful and evil allies like Pelosi, Frank and Reid and he still has majorities in both houses to ease his journey . . . but he no longer enjoys the absolute adulation of the American people. Their blinders are coming off.
