Predictions of 2009 movement towards socialistic formations

Sorry I have been pre-occupied with other things going on in my life to worry about what is going on in Washington DC since it appears that BHO will get what he wants and we will just have to hope that it work out for the best.

 

As someone that believes in "The Creator" since believing in Darwinism, the Big Bang, and Atheism is just plain silly due to the amount of "suspension of disbelief" necessary to accept these theories, I am prepared to allow the Divinity His way with the history of our world. It is the one thing that prevents me from really being depressed over how our country has moved from a force for good towards a whimper for "the so-so."

 

BHO and his SMDC will only be allowed to go so far before the citizenry understands that trading freedoms for government intervention in all aspects of their lives is not worth the value received. It may take some time, and it may not be reversible, but it will happen unless one event occurs: the majority of the American voting public is living off the backs of the wealthier minority. If or when this occurs, the country will slow sink into socialism and finally 3rd world status since it can only sustain an innovative and vibrant economy when everyone is working and carrying their share of the financial burdens demanded of a capitalistic-based economy.

 

No socialistic (the economic infrastructure) of Fascism, Communism, and Marxism (the political part of the equation) has survived without major political change whereby the personal freedoms of those being governed are subordinated to the best interest of the government. There will be small factions of resistance to these changes, but it will be the financial crisis that finally puts a nail in the coffin of the American dream.

 

Unions will continue to demand their "unsustainable" wage and benefit profiles especially the government employees unions that will bankrupt state after state, municipality after municipality, and city after city with their every increasing piece of the taxpayer treasury. When the local and state governments are over whelmed, they will seek increasing federal participation (with strings attached of course) to the point where those in Kansas will be paying for the mistakes in California and New York.

 

Liberal welfare programs will continue to addict the non-tax paying portion of the population to a point of demanding more and more government payments from a dwindling tax-paying minority to where innovation, entrepreneurship, and growth are stopped as is the case in all socialistic-oriented economies. Those that are working finally realize that it's not worth the effort to be innovative when the government is going to take 70-80% to pay for those that just vote for their welfare and transfer payments. Once this transformation takes place, the federal government has to take over and become "the state." Whether the government becomes Fascist, Communistic, or Marxist is simply a matter of who is power when the population finally gives up.

 

Here's the most likely outcome: if liberals are in power at "tipping point", then the government is very likely to become a form of Communism-light based on atheism, and total government control in the form of centralized planning. If conservatives are in power at TP (tipping point), then the government will most likely become Fascist since Fascism combines the government with big business to run the state. Finally, a combination of the two would likely produce a more Marxist form of government that takes the central planning of Communism with the elevation of the state to the only political entity while allowing some personal freedoms in religion and thinking.

 

Just some thoughts to begin your 2009 with during this period of major changes. Watch for two things that are already beginning to occur: the removal of the secret ballot in unionization events, and the increase spending of the federal government to cover all areas of public and personal life. These 2 events will signal the move towards the collapse of the capitalistic, free-market operation of the US economy, a prolonged recession into 2010-2011, and an increased demand for federal government intervention in every increasing areas of what was once private matters.

 

More later.

 

The next stage of human formation is coming

The BHO agenda will make it easier for the USA to become member of the global community which is the long term goals for leftists in the US. The best way to diminish the USA is to ensure that its becomes subject to the will of the global community most likely the UN or what will replace it.

 

The metamorphosis of the UN into a single, global government is in the works. The global financial crisis is the "shoe horn" that will help establish this new entity's reach and credentials by forcing countries to relinquish their financial sovereignty in order to survive. Remember the warnings of imminent global meltdown if we didn't do something? These warnings will continue until most countries are forced to become members of this new financial reorganization.

 

It's coming. Watch for signs. I am not trying to scare, but educate. The flow of events of our times have signs, warnings, and consequences. It makes sense to understand how events work together and prepare the world for the events that must happen for an ending of the era of single countries, nations, and formations into a single world government and justice system.

 

During the Cold War with two major opposing factions controlling the current events, it would have been near impossible for a world government to take control. The UN was simply a puppet for impotent 3rd world countries to feel that they had a voice in the global community. The nuclear powers were still the ones in control with little fear of losing that power.

 

When the USSR (Soviet Union) went out of business in 1989, the USA became the sole superpower and that was dangerous for most liberal-minded people in this country that are more "citizens of the world" than USA citizens. They want to be liked in all the countries they visit for vacations; they don't want the stigma of the "Ugly American" which is funny because they were the cause of most of that epitaph by their throwing around their US money and status. I have seen it first hand.

 

BHO has stated that he is going to shut down Guantanamo Bay prison, stop building/repairing our nuclear weapons stockpile, reduce our military by 25% (Barney Frank), and make the UN a world recognizable, and revered political organization.

 

Do not take my word for it. You have time to watch for these events, but just don't let the small things get lost along way to the bigger horizon. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The USA will not change overnight, it will take time. This blogger will be here to point out the small steps.

 

 

 

Good Night, America, good night.

Whewwwww! What a month October has been. The worst month in % losses in the history of Wall Street, and the worse is likely to come out over the next few month since all the bad news has yet to hit the streets.

With the election of BHO on Tuesday, the country will begin the change that will make it into a 3rd world country similar to the impotent European countries of the European Union, but, alas, I believe that the USA must diminish for the world to progress to the final stages of its existence.

Have a great weekend, and don't lose heart. Remember, the Creator has set the world in motion and established its rules and principles that can't be violated. We get exactly what we put out, and the hard work of the past USA may not mean as much in the future given the way this Bush 43 administration has turned the US Treasury into a piggy bank for Wall Street executives, auto companies, insurance companies, banks, and now your next door neighbor that isn't paying his mortgage.

The LOUC of all this will be complete dampening of the American spirit to the point where it will not make sense to do anything beyond what you can get from the government. It is going to destroy the American character of hard-working, innovation, and vision. The loss of these characteristics will be both sad and permanent as the children of this generation will not know how to remount the levels of previous American glory.

History will look back and point to this election as the point at which the USA slipped into mediocrity and third world status, but that's the way it is suppose to be.

Good Night, America.

OK, let's begin

Since the premise is that "America can be fixed" let's start with the most important issue that is facing our country: unity. We are a divided country with more and higher shrill rantings from both sides of the "isle" to coin a phrase. The country is about evenly divided on issues such as the Iraq war, taxes, abortion, God in public life, gay marriage, etc.

Now the founding fathers never imagined that the constitution would be such a divisive document, and for the most part they were correct. The divisiveness comes from the fact that most citizens do not feel that they have control over their government, and therefore, can not effect changes. The founding fathers tried to limit the federal government by 2 means: strict delineation of powers -- that being only 3 listed in the constitution, and second, by severely limiting the revenues that the federal government could collect and fund its operations.

Now, as the enlightened public we are today, the US citizenry has allowed both these controls to be slowly altered through the slow passage of time. First, we did not object to the institution of the federal bureaucracy whereby Congress passed on their legislative control to the bureaucracy's rule making control: Department of Education, OSHA, FEMA, FCC, FAA, etc (to name just a few). With the growth of the federal bureaucracy, the public lost control of their government's involvement into their lives and businesses, and this is clearly in violation of the 10th amendment. Secondly, with the passage of the now extremely important 16th amendment (establishment of an income tax), the people allowed the growing federal government to tax their citizenry's incomes without direct control of the amount or disposition of funds collected.

These 2 very important changes that the founding fathers' never envisioned has finally grown to the point where they are the crux of apex that now divides our country. Let me see if I can explain my point: since people don't feel they can effect control of their government since they can't control the revenue of the government since controlling a public entity is only effectively controlled by controlling its purse strings. This point the founding fathers knew very well.

Thus, we have become divided in that we try to force laws that will ultimately try to enforce our views or beliefs on the rest of the US citizenry when this is clearly not conducive to unity. Therefore, let me suggest the quickest way around this problem:

1. Give control of the purse strings (on a macro-level) back to the citizenry by imposition of 2 changes: a) forced balancing of the federal budget, b) giving the citizenry the right to allocate 75% of the taxes to particular federal operations: social programs, defense, education, etc. The remaining 25% of the taxes goes into a general fund.
2. Effect term limits on Congress and Judges to reduce the desire to become "career politicos": Congressional limits like Presidential limits should be 12 years in the House, and 12 years in the Senate with the House seats changed from 2 to 4 years terms to reduced time spent campaigning.
3. Complete and open transparency of public campaign financing: no limits on how much anyone person can give to any candidate or incumbent, but such funding must be openly and timely listed on the politician's web site so that anyone can determines clearly and easily where the politician derived his/her funding. In addition, all legislation favoring such donors must be clearly marked for public information.

These changes will begin the process of return the control of the government to the people, and will most likely reduce the feeling that "I am funding via my taxes" operations that are against my beliefs since each citizen will be able to fund only those operations in which they believe. The federal government will have to operate within those wishes of the governed.

This is a good place to begin this discussion of "fixing America". Please feel free to offer your comments, suggestions, opinions in a civil manner. As a systems engineer, I am interested in only solving problems, not the politics that have come to destroy the unity this country once was known for around the world.

America has problems, but not such that we can not solve them if we are willing to do the hard work and have the civil discussions.

Tomorrow, I will offer a civil solution to the very difficult issue of abortion or pro-choice/pro-life as it has become to be known.
