Chavez-Obama Parallels Greater Than You Think! Flashback January 21, 2007: The Washington Times

“   Collapsing Venezuela Flashback January 21, 2007: The Washington Times nails it with Collapsing Venezuela. If Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez President Obama deliberately intended to sabotage his nation's economy, he would be hard-pressed to do anything different from what he is now doing to his country. It has been widely reported that Mr. Chavez President Obama has been increasingly taking control of the oil, telecommunications and energy housing, banking, auto, and insurance sectors, as well as the media. What has not been reported is the full extent of the corruption in Venezuela the United States and how this ultimately will destroy the economy. The financial scandal taking place is far bigger than Enron, and may ultimately even exceed the U.N. "oil-for-food" scandal, the biggest financial disgrace of all time. Since 2004, the Venezuelan Central Bank Fed has transferred about $22.5 billion untold $billions to accounts abroad by the Chavez government held by foreign governments, and about $12 billion all of that remains unaccounted for. It has also been reported that the gold reserves have been removed from the Central Bank. While the rest of the world has been moving away from socialism for the last quarter-century for good reason, Venezuela the United States is becoming socialist. We know governmental use of central banks to basically print money to cover expenditures results in rising inflation and eventually monetary meltdown. And, finally, we know that when a state becomes totally corrupt an economic collapse always follows. Mr. Chavez President Obama and his cronies had already been spending far more than they were taking in and you can bet the blood from the innocent Venezuelan people United States citizens will be drained long before those on the take from Mr. Chavez President Obama agree to have their looting stopped. The original Washington Times article was extremely good, but a few minor changes would have made it the most prophetically accurate post the world had ever seen. Mike "Mish" Shedlock ”

A ball of MAD

A ball of mad!

As if we don't have enough to worry about, it says here that Los Illegals con un sentido de derecho  are back, and "ready to fight!"  Pro-immigration groups are more united, better-funded and, unlike the last battle in 2007, are ready to fight back against what they say is a wave of hatred from opponents as they gear up for another bruising immigration fight in Congress. The groups range from businesses and Hispanic rights organizations to labor unions and religious denominations. They lost their fight for immigration reform three years ago after finger-pointing and disagreements between businesses and labor. The groups also blame a Washington-centric strategy while their opponents ran a spectacularly successful grass-roots campaign. ” Conditions are right for a perfect storm.  One big enough to wipe Democrats off the political map.  I can't say it will happen, just that the public anger is palpable, and an election is coming. My sense it that even the most causal voters have in their heads, not the details maybe, but a conglomeration of grievances picked up at the water cooler,  car radio, news headlines, etc. Imagine a  ball of string made from strands  of  of these impressions:  phony baloney global warning bad economy botched war on terror this democrat and that democrat jailed accused of lying ethics complaints Medicare trashed voting against constituent wishes taking bribes arrogant hideous looking scowls secret meetings birth certificates tax increases death panels why the hell ain't we drilling for oil bowing to everyoneChristmas Eve votestax increases health care system destroyed I got laid off but gummint clerks make 6 figures trillions of dollarsillegal immigration freeing al Qaeda terroristsunderwear  bomber won't be able to use light bulbsACORN union thugs indoctrinating children and on and on and on ...  One great mental glob of mad looking for an outlet.  That outlet will arrive the 2nd of November, 2010.

Naked travelers and Nice Nazis “ Oliver Stone to Put Hitler, Stalin 'In Context' With New Miniseries "We can't judge people as only bad or good," Stone said Sounds like a Howard Zinn screenplay You will remember that during the Clinton occupation, "pop" historians went on a mission to charge  as many past presidents as possible with adultery (falsely accusing Eisenhower and Jefferson in the process). The idea being, I guess, to mitigate Clinton's behavior with the "hey, they were human too," analogy.  Same deal here.  Ratbastard socialists love their dogs.
