Have you been able to take a breath and just relax yet dear reader? It is increasingly more difficult to do these days is it not. The news just keeps coming at break neck speed of one crisis after another with no end in sight. Sorry, I wish I could give you some more happier news, maybe that it is all going to go away and everything will return to a 1980’s ‘norm’.   But it’s not. 

    I live on the Gulf Coast, the part near Pensacola that is now under assault by the oil from the never ending gushing pipe we all see daily on the news. I met three people this week who’ve had enough of this area and either have moved or are in the process of doing so. Ever since hurricane Ivan, this area has struggled to gain it’s footing as a prosperous region/city again. Now we have the oil spill. I met a woman, who has a friend who owns a condo in Navarre, Florida. This woman had this condo rented out for the entire summer, every week, for $2000.00 a week. Plush condo. But every reservation has been cancelled.

    We’ve seen President Obama…come down here a few times now, to Louisiana at least, and do some photo ops, try to act tough and concerned, but anyone with a clue to politics and people, knows better.   He has though, over the course of the past few weeks, been doing what he is good at….radicalism. Alinskyism. Especially when it has come to British Petroleum aka BP. We all know BP now do we not? Hasn’t the main stream media been feeding the populace hourly,daily about BP? This is the same BP that gave Obama $77,051.00 during his Senate and Presidential campaigns. How has Obama rewarded BP, yesterday: And in the increasingly forceful tone he's directing toward BP PLC, the British oil giant that was drilling the well that blew up, Obama said: "We will make sure they pay every single dime owed to the people along the Gulf coast."

     This is classic Alinskyism: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

     Obama is now moving himself away from BP, and making the people focus on BP as the sole enemy in this disaster. He is planting in the minds of the people that BP will pay them…that he, Obama, is going to ensure this will happen. We haven’t heard much about any other company’s that are involved have we? BP is part owner of the blown well. Other companies involved include rig operator Transocean; oil services company Halliburton, which handled the cementing of the well; and Cameron Inc., which made the blowout preventer that apparently failed.

     Cameron Inc who?? All we hear about is BP?! Why is that dear reader? Pick the target…freeze it…personalize it…polarize it.   Did you see the demonstrations on the news at BP’s headquarters in Houston and Washington DC…..the mindless masses have focused solely on BP, thanks to the MSM and the Obama White House. 

     So now the Obama Administration has purposefully or lack of real leadership, knee jerked reacted to the oil spill by calling for halt of Gulf oil production and drilling. Did a sideways jump on Israel’s case as Netanyahu said, ‘Israel is guilty before being found guilty’.   Has not a clue about how to deal with North Korea and the very real threat of all out war on the Korean peninsula. Threw Japanese Prime Minister Hatoyama under the bus as well by not moving the Marine Air Wing out of Futema. 

     Do you see the pattern? Do you dear reader? Do you Obama supporter? Do you see the pattern? If you make Obama look bad, make him drop in the polls, cause people to question Obama….Obama will throw you so fast under the bus…the driver will not have a moment to step on the brakes before running your confused arse over. Ask Blagojevich, Adm. Blair, the Nation of Israel, Hatoyama, Sestak, Romanov, MLB’s Washington Nationals, and it goes on and on. We hear them daily via talk radio. His word is no good.

    Towards that note, and connected, is our economy which saw the DOW drop below 10,000 this past Friday, fraudulent employment numbers released by Obama’s Government, the impact of the oil spill, the continuing war of attrition in Afghanistan, and the MTV awards which made the front page of our local newspaper alongside the oil spill update. The Arizona “Enforcement of Immigration Laws”, bill and the knee jerk reactions by most Hispanic activist, Mexican Government, and Obama White House.

    How is our Nation reacting to all of this? Code Pink has a new cause, maybe the Sierra Club (if they have any money), but something was brought out this week by Glenn Beck that is making a whole lot of sense. Something old, but well proven to be true, factual, and undeniable. 

The Cycle of Nations:

"From bondage to spiritual faith.

From spiritual faith to great courage.

From courage to liberty.

From liberty to abundance.

From abundance to selfishness.

From selfishness to complacency.

From complacency to apathy.

From apathy to dependency.

From dependency back again into bondage."

--Sir Alex Fraser Tyler, A Scottish jurist and historian

   We are definitely at the complacency to apathy to dependency stages right now. With the growing welfare state being pushed by the Obama White House under the guise of Health Care reform, corporate take overs, and media manipulation. Few who stand up to challenge this cycle and it’s directors, Obama and company, are finding themselves under constant assault of Alinsky rules.   The general populace is so dumbed down, their larger concerns are getting money from BP, making marijuana use legal, watching the Obama’s have fun in the summer concert series. 

    Over the past year, I’ve learned, watched, and studied about Japan’s shift from their Samurai feudal system, Shogunate, to the modern era, it’s called the Meiji Restoration. It is scary how much of that era and time is reflected to our era and time now. Great calls for change in governance, control, wealth, diplomacy.   If you saw Tom Cruise’s The Last Samurai, that has a bit of that era and you can see the ‘change’ and what happened. 

    On a much deeper level, the Japanese people felt and knew change was coming, but what and how it would, and who it would affect, was unknown. Much like it is now here in the United States. Change is in the air, you can feel it. But who manipulates whom, and the outcome of this coming change, that too, is up in the air. Unless, brave, smart, and just people, take charge now to ensure that during our turbulent times, this Nation does not falter, fall, and become a victim to outside forces. Change swept Japan, it helped move Japan into the modern world, but if you look at the history of Japan, that change of a more liberal form of governance, led Japan back into isolationism and eventually, World War Two. Such could happen here as well. Many point out on radio, TV, and books, that they fear that our extreme shift left, will reach such a point, that the USA will swing hard and far right, and that could bring out disastrous consequences for the Nation and the World. 

     So much on the news to watch….Israel and a possible summer war from Hizbollah and Hamas, the Korean Peninsula, Venezuela (Venecuba), crash of the Euro, fall of the EU?, Ottoman Empire rising, Persian Empire rising, double speak and lies from the Obama White House (in between party’s and vacations of course) and more oil on our Gulf Coast beaches.
