August 29, 2013 by Wayne Allyn Root
Hello, I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Two things are happening right now under President Barack Obama that are unprecedented.
First, Obama is about to go to war in Syria and risk your sons’ and
daughters’ lives on behalf of our enemy, al-Qaida. Second, he is about
to risk starting World War III.
Are you on board?
And then there’s Obama’s “red line.” Obama’s defenders say, “Syria
passed the red line. We have no choice.” Really? So we now call
extremist Muslims killing other extremist Muslims a “red line” that
demands U.S. intervention. But extremist Muslims in Egypt burning more
than 70 churches to the ground and killing Christians is not a “red
line?” In one place (Syria), we want to go to war. In the other (Egypt),
we continue to send billions of dollars in foreign aid as a reward for
killing Christians.
Do you support Obama’s definition of a “red line?” I know I don’t.
So why the rush to war? Could it be because America’s unemployment
problem under Obama is unfixable? Ninety million working-age Americans
are not working. The labor force participation rate is the lowest for
men since 1947 (since measurement began). Obama has no way out.
The same holds true for our partners in the European Union like the
United Kingdom and France. Unemployment for the EU region is 12.1
percent, the worst in history. Almost 20 million Europeans are
unemployed. Youth unemployment in the EU is just below 25 percent.
How do you solve such a human psychological disaster? You go to war.
Voilà. Suddenly, young people with no job prospects
have a job — in the military. They have a check, a place to live,
something to do. They no longer have time to commit crimes or riot in
the streets.
America got out of the last Great Depression with the help of World
War II. How convenient that Obama lit the fuse for the Arab Spring,
helped to topple dictators friendly to U.S. interests and took the side
of the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, it’s all coming home to roost.
We fomented instability, supported the radicals who hate America and
Israel, and now we’re feigning shock that the Mideast is in flames?
Remember that line from the police captain in the movie “Casablanca”:
“I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!”
What a funny coincidence that a war would solve Obama’s worst problems all at once:
A) War would stir patriotism and force Americans to rally around the President.
B) Obamacare is a nightmare for Obama and his party. It’s so
unpopular even Democrats and unions are running away from it. Congress
has passed a law to exempt themselves. Obama himself is postponing major
aspects of Obamacare for fear it will lead to a GOP landslide in 2014.
Going to war is the perfect distraction, at the perfect time.
C) Obama couldn’t create a job if it hit him in the face. He can’t
spell J-O-B. War will create instant jobs. And, hey, if thousands of
young men die, that, too, will reduce the ranks of the unemployed for
years to come.
“Nonsense,” Obama’s supporters will protest. You know, those same
people that marched in the streets protesting our involvement in Iraq,
those same people who questioned CIA intelligence about “weapons of mass
distraction” yet who now readily accept the CIA’s claims about Syria’s
using chemical weapons, those same people who called Bush a murderer yet
now accept Obama’s bombing and killing citizens in Syria. Syria is the
new Iraq.
The key to life (and politics) is to choose your friends carefully.
In Egypt Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the same group
that supported the Nazis during World War II. Their leader, Muhammed
Morsi, said in speech last year: “The Koran is our constitution, the
Prophet is our leader, jihad is our path and death in the name of Allah
is our goal.”
In Syria our new friends are worse than the Muslim Brotherhood (if
that’s possible). The rebels fighting the Syrian government are
al-Qaida. These are the murderous terrorists who are the sworn enemies
of America and Israel. This is who Obama is asking our sons and
daughters to die for? Not my sons, not my daughters.
How about yours?
Have we learned nothing from Iraq? I was gung ho about Iraq. I
thought it was a noble cause to set the Iraqi people free from a tyrant.
You know what I found out? We meant well, but it was a disaster. It was
none of our business. It was not worth the cost — in dollars or human
life. The Iraqi people we heroically risked and sacrificed for don’t
thank us; they hate us. Why would we want to do it again? Our Mideast
interventions cause more hatred, more terrorism, more death.
Let’s not forget that our intervention in Libya put weapons in the
hands of radical Muslims who, it now appears, used those weapons to
attack our own Libyan Embassy and murder our U.S. Ambassador and three
brave Navy SEALs. You know, that’s the tragedy that was covered up by
Obama and Hillary Clinton by blaming it on a movie. Who killed our brave
men in that Libyan embassy? Al-Qaida, the people Obama now wants to
partner with.
Have we not learned that our Mideast interventions always work out
badly? Now, we are going to do it again. Except this time, it’s far
worse. This time, Russia and China and Iran are on Syria’s side. This
time, it could lead to World War III. Have we lost our minds?
I have obvious questions.
First, was this Obama’s plan from the start? Foment anger and
instability in the Mideast, topple the friends of America and wait for
war? Is this his only way out to save the U.S. economy from collapse? Is
war the perfect distraction from the economic carnage caused by his
policies?
Second, would you send your son or daughter to die to support al-Qaida? I know I wouldn’t.
This is a new level of insanity — even for Obama. I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. See you next week. Same time, same place.
God bless America.

…You Better Think Again
Despite what the cheerleaders of Wall Street, Washington, and the
financial sector propound I foresee such troubled financial, social, and
economic times that it will make the years since 2008 look like a glide
down the Ol’ Mill Stream. Folks, we are in for some rough water; …most
especially if we get into a tangle with the Syrian-Russian-China-Iran
Alliance. Since 9/11 we’ve been strategically limiting the energy
options of Russia, China, and India. These countries have had crude oil
contracts with Iraq, Libya, and other rich oil producing states. With
our various incursions into North Africa and the Middle East we have
forced Russia, China, and India to seek other sources of energy for
their emerging economies. Now with Syria firmly in the crosshairs and a
lustful eye on Iran, these nations are drawing a line in the sand
because their energy options are running out. Just this week both Russia
and China warned that any intervention by the US will have catastrophic
consequences and result in region wide conflict, however, there is a
distinct possibility of igniting World War III. This could lead to the
long dreaded thermo-nuclear devastation that folks of my generation have
had dangling over our heads like the sword of Damocles.
The effects of such conflict aside, the most immediate problem is the current state of economic doldrums which most of the world finds itself in, and with no viable solutions in sight. Most national economies are printing money in an attempt to debase their own currencies in the vain hope of better trade conditions. Such actions are really just playing economic Russian Roulette, sooner or later a live chamber is found and the results will be devastating. A unique feature of the global situation is that for the first time all national banks and financial institutions are following the same pattern of debasement. That being the case, we, in the West should look to the so-called PIGS nations to see what has been occurring there of late. In the past few weeks, before the Cone of Silence fell on the mainstream media we saw popular riots taking place as the citizens were forced to swallow the bitter medicine to reverse the fat years of false-plenty under Socialist economic leadership. First there were huge layoffs, even of government sector workers; then the utilization of so-called bail-ins, which virtually confiscated the life savings of many under the guise of being “investors” of the banking system. Additionally, many pensions were also seized under such phony policies. In many of these PIGS nations the populace was left to their own devices and as such black-markets and back to land subsistence has become a popular lifeboat.

Now
apply this scenario to the current situation in the US and we can see
that overtures, as previously reported in CRS, are being formulated to
gain control of 401K, IRA, and pension funds. This likely will be in the
form of forced investment in T-bills or other Federal vehicles with a
“guaranteed” return. However, if the return is in inflated Greenbacks
the net effect will be zero growth and thus zero worth. So the question
is what to do about this? However, I don’t have an overall solution.
Preparation will be up to each individual and his particular
circumstances. Meantime, I’ve taken steps which, I hope, will safeguard
my own particular situation. I urge the readership to do due-diligence
and consider all your options.

Government Agents are Coming to Check on Your Children
Botox-riddled Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi is infamous for
saying in 2009 that Congress needed to pass Obamacare so that we, the
people, could see what’s in it. The phrase sounded idiotic when it was
uttered, but Pelosi is smarter than she often appears. What she really
meant to say was that the bill needed to pass before we could see what’s in it … and with good reason.
This week we learned that buried deep within what is quickly becoming the Unaffordable Care Act is a neat little section called the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program. In practice, MIECHV authorizes state agencies to send government inspectors to your house if a “home visit” is seen as appropriate per U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) guidelines – the ones meant to “create social and physical environments that promote good health for all.”
So no longer are suspicions of child abuse or neglect the proper criteria to justify government agents examining private residences. We’ve now reached a point where parents can expect a visit if their home doesn’t meet the government’s definition of an environment conducive to “good health for all.”
I’m not making this stuff up, folks. In fact, HHS has allocated $224 million to the state agents who will be carrying out the home invasions ... I mean visits. Home visits.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is on record stating: “Home visiting programs play a critical role in the nation’s efforts to help children get off to a strong start. Parenting is a tough job, and helping parents succeed pays big dividends in a child’s well-being and healthy development.”
Well, Ms. Sebelius, I’d like to introduce you to something called the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. It states that: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated …,” and it supersedes your Orwellian blather about the right of government bureaucrats to supervise the lawful raising on one’s own children.
It’s only a matter of time before the MIECHV program produces additional constitutional challenges to Obamacare … and they won’t be just related to the Fourth Amendment. Is it too far-fetched to envision a day when HHS demands to inspect the homes of registered gun owners to make sure firearms are stored according to its definition of “child safety”? Are we to think that is beyond possible for an administration that brought us (and lied to us about) a massive, unlawful domestic spying operation and political targeting by the IRS?
