Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Blatant Fascism: Probe of IRS Criminal Acvtivity

If you do not like tyranny, you had better replace the GOP drones.

Look what is being done regarding the recent criminal activity by Mr. Obama. Like Hitler, he will keep pushing until the only way to clean out the government will be ugly. To survive a republic requires intelligent citizens and honorable representatives. The first is questionable, the second is clearly not true.

It is incomprehensible that moral and awake Americans in  Congress just grumble on Fox TV and do nothing to protect the republic. They are, de facto, liars. There is strategy or game plan that authorizes conspiracy, lying, and illegal action. Get them out. Keep pouring the Draino. You do not compromise with someone shooting at you.

The Tea Party has been shot at and the marshal has appointed a hand of the boss that runs the gambling hall in town is running the farmers off the land to pretend to handle the problem.

Vote Primaries, where your vote counts. The party does not matter; the deadwood has to go.

If the following just meanders by without registering with you, I am sure the way to get your interest is to substitute Obama with Nixon. While this may wake up your dormant emotionalism, recall Nixon's first Watergate prosecutor resigned in protest over the appearance of interference.  The second prosecutor brought Nixon down so that the GOP demanded his resignation.

Now, think about Al Capone in the White House and consider wether he would ever resign for a crime or eliminate the complainant.  I sure hope you wake up.


From Washington Post:

    EXCLUSIVE:
    The Justice Department selected an avowed political supporter of President Obama to lead the criminal probe into the IRS targeting of tea party groups, according to top Republicans who said Wednesday that the move has ruined the entire investigation.
    House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell E. Issa, California Republican, and regulatory affairs subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, said they have discovered that the head of the investigation is Barbara Kay Bosserman, a trial lawyer in the Justice Department who donated more than $6,000 to Mr. Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, as well as several hundred dollars to the national Democratic Party.
    “The department has created a startling conflict of interest,” Mr. Issaand Mr. Jordan said in a letter sent Wednesday and reviewed by The Washington Times. “It is unbelievable that the department would choose such an individual to examine the federal government’s systematic targeting and harassment of organizations opposed to the president’s policies.”
    The Internal Revenue Service’s internal auditor revealed in May that the agency had been inappropriately targeting and blocking applications for tax-exempt status from tea party and conservative-leaning groups. In the immediate aftermath, Mr. Obama promised that the FBI and theJustice Department would investigate whether the IRS broke any laws.
    Eight months later, the investigation has not produced any public findings, and Mr. Issa says the FBI and Justice Department have stonewalled his efforts to find out what’s going on....

    Mr. Issa doth protest too  much. 
    Why not institute articles of impeachment? How many dozens of crimes constitute high crimes and misdemeanors? The Attorney General makes no excuses for not enforcing the law and overreaching. He can be impeached easily. We live in a republic, not serve drinks in a club.

    The End Is Neigh, Unless Individuals Act


    The recent attempt by fiscal conservatives to force the Senate and Obama to end Obamacare is, generally, discussed in three ways. 

    The stupid way is that goofy Republicans are the Gang That Can't Shoot Straight and were engaging in a pointless political attack. (If one were saying it was a political attach by conservative Republicans against establishment hack, that would be true.) The stupid people gloat about "winning" some perceived game.

    My discussions focus on Cruz' concern that the socialization of the medical system, via insurance now, brings an end to the liberty that we have all known. We don't need an efficient medical system (which would never happen) so that we can keep paying tribute to the lords. Freedom, and that means, say, freedom to offer medical insurance across state boundaries, will always find the best solution to meeting a need. 

    The third avenue of discussion is that Obamacare and our spending, in general, has put us over the edge, that fiscal cliff, and one by one our fingers are going numb. HERE is a short article, more of a blog, that simply outlines the coming end to our economic system.  It begins: 

    The Tea Party Is Not "Wrong" 
     There comes a time when one doesn't care why someone has a correct position, even if the foundation from which they proceed is faulty, only that they have the correct position. 
    The Tea Party, led by Ted Cruz, focused on Obamacare, as did a handful of House Republicans. 
    Despite the criticism leveled against them they were exactly correct to do so, even if they came at it and arrived at their conclusions due to an incorrect starting premise or analysis. 
    Here's why...

    Inside the article is a YouTube link and you can hear Jamie Diamond say in an interview that the collapse is two to five years away.  Now, we have to wonder when that was filmed. He indicates WE can stop it.

    Please, don't tell me you don't know who Jamie Diamond is. If you don't know, PLEASE do not vote.

    No, folks, the Tea Party is not wrong.  Senator Cruz is not wrong. 
    You're wrong.  You're wrong because you believe there is such a thing as a free lunch and that you can have it -- or at least, that you can force someone other than you to pay for it. 
    That's not only not how it's going to work out it's not how it has worked out thus far.
    Wake up folks -- while there's still time.
    The "take away" from the article should include an awareness that there in NO competition in the medical profession. Insurance companies are PROTECTED by government from competition. The problem is not found in a free market approach, an argument favored by the stupid, but in the state protection of large companies. This is oligarchy, a system of control that loves use socialism as that system can force people into economic bondage. 

    Note in the graph, above, that nearly 70% of our GDP is government spending. Understand what that means. In the end, it is not much of a guide, however. 

    Definition of 'Gross Domestic Product - GDP'
    The monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, though GDP is usually calculated on an annual basis. It includes all of private and public consumption, government outlays, investments and exports less imports that occur within a defined territory.
    GDP = C + G + I + NX
    where:
    "C" is equal to all private consumption, or consumer spending, in a nation's economy"G" is the sum of government spending"I" is the sum of all the country's businesses spending on capital"NX" is the nation's total net exports, calculated as total exports minus total imports. (NX = Exports - Imports)
    Got it?  There are reports that 70% of the GDP is consumer spending, yet 70% is also government.  It is best to just get out of debt, get our of dollars, and buy peanut butter.
