Tea Party and Beck draw Blood in Massachusetts

January 19, 2010
Posted by Economics9698 @ 18:34 PM

The Tea Party movement came onto the national scene a little over a year ago about the same time as Glen Beck made his television debuted on Fox. In that short time both have raised from cult figures to national forces to be reckoned with. Beck has provided the public with much needed information that is easy to understand about the fascist nature of both the Democrats and Republicans. 41% of voters believe the two major parties are so close in philosophy that a third party is needed. With the grass roots organization by the Tea Party and the defeat of Martha Coakley in the Massachusetts senatorial run off the Tea Party is about to receive a lot of unwanted attention from the two major political parties.

The first will come from the left. With Coakley’s defeat the Democrats are going to come after the Tea Party with all they have. They will use overt tactics like New York Times columnist Frank Rich questioning the motives of the Tea Party calling them a “profit seeking affair” for charging $560 a head at their Nashville Tea Party Convention February 4th to the 6th. He demonizes the Tea Party for having the audacity to use the affair to raise money for their organization. Where was this tool when Obama was charging $28,500 per plate at the Beverly Hills Wilshire Hotel? The Tea Party needs to ignore the tools on the left and open the books for all to see. End of story.

The second attack will possibly be penetration and sabotage. The Palm Beach Post reports Orlando Attorney and Democrat Fred O’Neil recently changed his party affiliation to Tea Party and will field Tea Party candidates in selected congressional races. O’Neil states “We want to get one — but only one — conservative candidate on the ballot in November” in each race. “Sometimes the candidate that the Republicans put up is not a true conservative.” But many are questioning his motives suggesting he will be trying to split the conservative vote in Democratic congressional districts between a Tea Party candidate and the Republican. This would create safe districts for Democrats and foil any upset bids. Palm Beach Post staff writer Tim Dunkin argues that the Tea Party is better off taking over the Republican Party and not forming as a third party.

Fred O’Neil has also allegedly sent e-mails to smaller Tea Party groups threatening legal action against them if they continue using the name. Who appointed Fred O’Neil the protector of the Tea Party name? Nobody I know of. Sounds like political sabotage to me.

The third avenue of attack will be from the Republican Party. Republican candidates will use the Tea Party movement to advance their political careers. Two politicians come to mind. The first is Palin. She will be the key note speaker in Nashville. She is on the record on the Glen Beck show as having stated she will not charge for the event. What is her motivation? She declined a chance to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference or CPAC. To me it’s pretty obvious. She is sending a strong message to the Republican establishment that she may run as a Tea Party candidate in 2012. Flashback to 1992 with Bill Clinton winning with 43% of the vote and Ross Perot 19% of the vote. If Palin runs as a Tea Party candidate she will get that 41% of the vote and then some. The Republican Party will be the third man on the outside looking in. Anyone who thinks this lady is dumb is delusional, a tool or dense.

The second candidate to use the Tea Party as a vehicle to rise to stardom is Marco Rubio. At 38 he is challenging incumbent Florida Governor Charlie Crist for the Republican nomination to the US Senate seat formerly held by Mel Martinez. In normal times before the Tea Party this would be a casual affair where the young upstart is gently put in his place come Election Day by the political establishment. But these are not normal times and the electorate is hyper aware of Crist’s record as a RINO.

The most recently supporting a high speed rail line to nowhere known to us locals as Poinciana south of Kissimmee. I can just see all those retirees and cowboys paying that $5 to go to the big city of Sanford. It was a pure pork project designed to get $2 billion in federal funds with no thought of where the line would have been utilized to its fullest advantage. With a little planning and political heat the line could have connected Orlando International Airport to Disney, Sea World and Universal Studios. It would at least stimulate the tourist industry. As it is it will cost federal and Florida taxpayers billions and utilization by the public will be limited. The death blow to Crist and his senatorial campaign and the rise of the Tea Party favorite Marco Rubio. Without the Tea Party this revolt would not have been possible.

Rubio’s motives may or may not be pure. But who is to say a young candidate like Rubio comes on the scene and just replaces an older candidate with a more established track record? The grass roots Republican Party using the Tea Party to clear a little dead wood and get a better candidate with a better chance of winning in position? Rubio is of Cuban decent and speaks fluent Spanish. Republicans need all the Hispanics they can get. Looks like it already happened. I would be dismayed and shocked if Crist wins this primary.

The point being is that the Tea Party can be a long term force or a flash in the pan. It will get attacked and used from all sides. Democrats, Republicans and the press. Welcome to the big show. The Tea Party needs to get more centralized at the national level to organize what its goals are. The main goal of the Tea Party should be to become independent of the Republican and Democrat Party. It should work with both parties when it is in their interest but keep a safe distance.

What the Tea Party leadership needs to remember is that 44% of conservatives ARE NOT Republicans for a reason. For me personally as a Libertarian I disagree with Republicans holier than though attitude about abortion. Abortion should be decided at the local level by the local people. I disagree with their attitude about gambling, prostitution, spending, social security, Medicaid, education and every other federal program they and the Democrats have inflicted on this land. Let the locals set up the types of communities they want and go away with your bible thumping patriots. Live free or die.

A lot of Democrats dislike their party just as intensely as I do Republicans. They hate the hijacking of their party by the radicals. They hate the deficit spending. They may be compassionate and want to help others but would rather do it at the local level where they can have direct access to the politicians spending the money. Maybe they support the Tea Party because they see no alternative to bringing back the Democratic Party to its roots before Woodrow Wilson when they truly were the party of the people. If the Tea Party becomes the lap dog of the Republican Party they can kiss any Democrat support goodbye.

What conservatives and liberals need to realize is both parties were hijacked by progressives at the turn of the 20th century. Teddy Roosevelt (R) and Woodrow Wilson (D) changed the parties into what they are today. There is not a dimes worth of difference between them and both are dedicated to dictatorship over the masses.

Traditionally in the past liberals would oppose the police state, militarization of society and imperialism. Their party has been taken over and now Obama is working with large corporations to conquer the world and eliminate competition. Monopolies and oligopolies for all. GE, GM, Goldman Sacks, Citi Bank to name a few of Obama’s favorites. Obama also wants to create a domestic police force just as large as the military. For what? We all know what and so do thinking liberals. And where do these liberals have to turn? Not their party. They are in the same predicament Republicans were with Bush spending like a drunken sailor on leave. If the Tea Party gets to close to the Republican Party this support will be gone and that segment of the Democratic Party will once again be in the political wilderness.

The correct course for the Tea Party would be to stick to its principals of limited government as outlined in the constitution of the United States and the elimination of the Federal Reserve as it is currently configured. Ignore wedge issues designed by politicians to create brain lock in the electorate like Global Warming and abortion. Ignore all other political distractions and concentrate on the core mission of returning the nation to the constitution and federalism. It’s that simple.

Field candidates as needed. There is no need to apologize for taking Republican votes. Republicans don’t own those votes and if they lose a few elections then so be it. Republicans got where they are because they have no principals. Let them suffer. Sooner or later if they don’t shape up the Tea Party will replace them. This argument that the Democrats will win every election if the Tea Party runs a candidate is absurd if the Tea Party appeals to the natural instincts of liberals to avoid a police state. All the Tea Party has to do is effectively communicate that message to liberals. Sooner or later liberals will wake up and see how their party has been over run with fascist that are taking them for a ride to the gulag.

What would I do if the Libertarians suddenly got 41% of the population supporting them? I would kick a little ass. Both parties deserve it and I would show no mercy. Raise money and field candidates. If the Republicans want to work together fine do it on equal terms. Same with the Democrats. Don’t be anybody’s bitch and kick some ass.


Coakley vs Brown in Mass.

Everyone is interested in who grabs the Senate seat that once belonged to the late Teddy Kennedy.

Will it be Coakley or Brown?
Whatever happens it should be a wake up call for the Dems. … at how totally ticked off the mass is over their outrageous tactics and full bore corruption in their party.
Personally I will not hold my breath for their enlightenment.

Whatever success Brown has … the equally clueless NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) would like to take credit. Their paltry donations are laughable.

In truth this was an uprising by the people, and a movement that will continue all across this country. THE PEOPLE can and will do this without the permission of Washington GOP elites.


MSNBC’s Ed Schultz a cheap corrupt cheat?

This is really no big shock.
It is however indicative mentality of so many today. I have to wonder how long it will take to come back to an ethical base being the status quo rather than the lie, cheat, and screw your own grandmother mode of operation that seems so prevalent today.

Apparently MSNBC television and syndicated radio host Ed Schultz does not care that now the whole world knows his true character.

What an embarassment to this great United States and all that it has endured to enable us all to have a FREE HONEST VOTE.
Who on earth wastes their time listening to this piece of “pond scum” for long?
His sponsors should all die of SHAME.


Advice from an Israeli Agent

January 19, 2010
Posted by Economics9698 @ 7:33 AM

There is a lot of common sense information in this e-mail that points to the reactionary nature of government. This applies to security but also economics, health care, transportation and all aspects of bureaucracy. It is the age old dilemma of the “military fighting the last war” that applies to all aspects of government and why Libertarians support privatizing and no regulating most aspects of society. Government more often than not gets in the way of progress. Once in a while government does something right but for the most part if it’s politicized it lame and wasteful or in extreme circumstances deadly.

Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie ‘Munich’ was based. He was Golda Meir’s bodyguard, and she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games.

In a lecture in New York City he shared information that EVERY American needs to know — but that our government has not yet shared with us.

Juval Aviv gives common sense advice on terrorism

Juval Aviv gives common sense advice on terrorism


He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O’Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O’Reilly laughed, and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. Unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.

Juval Aviv gave intelligence (via what he had gathered in Israel and the Middle East) to the Bush Administration about 9/11, a month before it occurred. His report specifically said they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments. Congress has since hired him as a security consultant.

Now for his future predictions. He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months.

Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke — that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective.

For example:

1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic.

2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can’t bring liquids on board. He says he’s waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all traveling naked!
Every strategy we have is reactionary.

3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates.

Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom or get a drink, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.

Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. (i.e., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as, rural America this time. The interlands (Wyoming, Montana, etc.).

The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas.

Aviv says terrorists won’t need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.

Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U. S. Government does not want to ‘alarm American citizens’ with the facts. The world is quickly going to become ‘a different place’, and issues like ‘global warming’ and political correctness will become totally irrelevant.

On an encouraging note, he says that Americans don’t have to be concerned about being nuked. Aviv says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a front-line approach. It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s effective; and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to ‘meet their destiny’.

He also says the next level of terrorists, over which America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be, instead, ‘homegrown’, having attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U.S. He says to look for ‘students’ who frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won’t know/understand a thing about them.

Aviv says that, as a people, Americans are unaware and uneducated about the terrorist threats we will inevitably face. America still has only a handful of Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks, and Aviv says it is critical that we change that fact SOON.

So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to, instead, follow Israel’s, Ireland’s and England’s hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to pay attention to, and trust ‘aware’ citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U. S. government continues to treat us, its citizens, ‘like babies’. Our government thinks we ‘can’t handle the truth’ and are concerned that we’ll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake.

Aviv recently created/executed a security test for our Congress, by placing an empty briefcase in five well-traveled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago, someone tried to steal the briefcase!

In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well ‘trained’ that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, ‘Unattended Bag!’ The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves.

Unfortunately, America hasn’t been yet ‘hurt enough’ by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it’s their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism.

Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children here in America who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, who were ‘lost’ without parents being able to pick them up, and about our schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until parents could get there. (In New York City, this was days, in some cases!)

He stresses the importance of having a plan, that’s agreed upon within your family, of how to respond in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children’s schools and demand that the schools too, develop plans of actions, just as they do in Israel.

Does your family know what to do if you can’t contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.

Aviv says that the U. S. government has in force a plan, that in the event of another terrorist
attack, EVERYONE’s ability to use cell phones, blackberries, etc., will immediately be cut-off, as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated.

How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event you cannot speak to each other? You need to have a plan.

If you understand, and believe what you have just read, then you must feel compelled to send this to every concerned parent, guardian, grandparents, uncles, aunts, whomever. Don’t stop there. In addition to sharing this via e-mail, contact and discuss this information with whomever it makes sense to. Make contingency plans with those you care about. Better that you have plans in place, and never have to use them, then to have no plans in place, and find you needed them.

If you choose not to share this, or not to have a plan in place, and nothing ever occurs — good for you! However, in the event something does happen, and even moreso, if it directly affects your loved ones, then this e-mail will haunt you forever.

Telling yourself after the fact, “I should have sent this to so and so, but deleted it as so much trash from old Bill Jones, plus, I just didn’t believe it”, will not change anything. You were alerted, had the chance to do something, and instead of erring on the side of caution, you chose to disregard, if nothing else, a sensible, valuable warning.
