Welcome to Call to Decision
THIS
IS VERY SCARY. PLEASE
READ THIS ALL THE
WAY TO THE BOTTOM.
by Pam Geller
I am a student
of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books in six
languages, and have studied history all my life. I think there is
something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a
banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes,
these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone
that is only now coming into a sharper focus.
Something
of historic proportions is happening.
I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks
like, and how people react to it.. Yes, a perfect storm may be
brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has
been evolving for about 10 - 15 years. The pace has dramatically
quickened in the past two.
We demanded and
then codified into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans
to people whom we knew could never pay back? Why? We learned
recently that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real
oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars
(that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but
will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms.
That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times
the $700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September.
Who has this
money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to
us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought
this was a government of "We the People," who loaned our
powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.
We have
spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.
Why?
We
have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no
longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we
are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think
critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting,
teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity.
Why?
We have now
established the precedent of protesting every close election (now
violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that
it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you
ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?). We have
corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to
write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream
Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a
banana republic. To what purpose?
Now our
mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major
industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse,
Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire
government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach
college and know precisely what I am talking about.) The list
is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially
1929 x 10.
And we are at war
with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same
religion who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they
have the opportunity to do so.
And now we have
elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so much as
a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All
of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen
fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip,
is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak
about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense
force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No?
Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over
and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant
daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more important.)
Mr. Obama's
winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change...radical
change. Why?
I have never
been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This
man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever
done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide
us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the
pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is
indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same
nation again.
And that is
only the beginning.
I thought I
would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt
in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former
smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average
German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was
associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people
with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage
through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough,
people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled
and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak
out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully them into
submission.
And
then he was duly elected to office, with a full-throttled economic
crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized
the controls of government power, department by department, person by
person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy.
The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were
taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side?
He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless,
and goodies for the military-industrial complex.
He did it
by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for
all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once
again in the country, across Europe , and across the world.
He did it
with a compliant media - Did you know that?
And he did this all in the name of justice and...change. And
the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if you
think I am exaggerating.) Read your history books. Many
people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at,
and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in
the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not
yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy
troublemaker. He was right, though.
Don't forget
that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe .. It
was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and
universities. And in less than six years - a shorter time span
than just two terms of the U. S. presidency - it was rounding up its own
citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against
parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of
intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.
As a practical
thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice:
I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me
(even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history
is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope
I am wrong, close my eyes, have another latte and ignore what is
transpiring around me.
Some people
scoff at me; others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps
I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and
tell them exactly what I believe - and why I believe it. I pray I
am wrong. But, I do not think I am..

Since many of
you enjoy senior citizen status or will sometime in the not too distant
future, I thought you might be interested in this information.
IN GOD WE
TRUST
Everybody that
is on this mailing list is either a senior citizen, is getting close, or
knows somebody that is.
Most of you
know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the
"stimulus" bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of
health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the
bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle, was credited today by
Bloomberg with the following statement.
Bloomberg:
"Daschle says health-care reform will not be pain free.
Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age
instead of treating them."
If this does
not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that Senators and
Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar or very
low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and
are not subject to this new law if it passes.
Please use
the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at
the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in one year
and nine months. We have the ability to address and reverse the
dangerous direction the Obama administration and its allies have begun
and in the interim, we can make our voices heard! Let's do it!
If you
disagree, don't do anything
