Living under tyranny and the solidification of the Obama dictatorship–Part I … Sher Zieve

Living under tyranny and the solidification of the Obama dictatorship–Part I

By Sher Zieve

The Obama dictatorship is virtually complete. Since he began the occupation of what was once our White House, the dictator-in-chief has been busy writing one Executive Order after another designed to replace US law…with ObamaLaw. Under normal and saner times, these EOs would mean little-to-nothing because the checks and balances of co-equal branches of government would render them null and void if they flew in the face of Constitutional law. But, today, insanity is reigning supreme.

Note: For those of you raised in the government public school systems over the last three decades, the US Congress (which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate) and SCOTUS (the Supreme Court of the United States of America) are co-equal (under the US Constitution) with and to the Executive branch and each of the three branches of the US federal government legally carries 1/3 each of the power to run said government.

However, co-equal branches of the US government – like the Bill of Rights for US citizens – are no longer applicable in the USA. They have been replaced by dictatorial rule of and from the US White House; specifically under the now almost complete tyrannical control of Barack Hussein Obama. Why? Because Congress refuses to act and/or follow through on stopping Obama and his demolition-of-America team from destroying the US Constitution, individual rights and SCOTUS is now openly ruling in both bizarre and unconstitutional ways. This abrogation of duty has resulted in the submission of the Legislative and Judicial branches of government to the Executive branch. Question: Are members of Congress and SCOTUS (minus their female members) now required to bow down and pray five times a day in the direction of Washington D.C. to Obama? Does Obama provide the prayer mats?

What has occurred that has allowed this to happen is nothing less than treason and the “aiding and abetting of the enemies of the United States of America.”

Militarized Police Force illegally grabbing guns (all source materials and complete articles below)

1. In April 2013, under the NY SAFE (Secure Ammunition & Firearms) Act, Governor Cuomo of New York issued orders revoking permits for legally owned guns and advised the owners that they must surrender those permits and “any and all weapons” over to the police. The persons receiving this mandate are those citizens who are taking anti-anxiety drugs. First, HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) laws were broken and the information received about individual prescribed drugs acted upon by NY was obtained illegally and second…the Right to Bear Arms contained in the Second Amendment was (following Obama’s example) thrown onto the street, stomped on and swept into the gutters of New York by another dictatorial Democrat executive.

2. In Medford Oregon May 2013, military veteran Corey Thompson’s AR-15 was confiscated and he was arrested when wanted felon Jonathon Kinsella tried to force his way into Thompson’s home and Thompson fired a warning shot. The Blaze reports: “Thompson was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, menacing and reckless endangering. The veteran’s AR-15 was seized by police because they claim it was used in the commission of a crime.”

3. Army Master Sgt. C.J. Grisham, who had previously been honored for his service by President George W. Bush, was arrested while on a 10-mile hike in Texas with his son in March 2013. He was arrested by police (who had apparently been following him) for “rudely displaying” his firearm. Huh? Is this a real law? The rifle was being carried, as the area of the hike contains wild boar, cougars and other potentially dangerous animals. His AR-15 was confiscated. By the way, AR-15 rifles are still legal in all US States.

4. After the Boston Marathon Bombings, multiple reports of house to house forced entry by Boston police and SWAT teams emerged with pictures taken of multiple heavily armed militarized police on the doorsteps of private homes. In one video (below link), the initial knock on the private home door almost knocks it in.

IRS used as another arm of the Obama Gestapo

Only those who do not have access to communication of any type can possibly not know about what has happened to the IRS. Along with the highly-militarized local police forces, Obama and his syndicate have used the IRS as, yet, another arm of his growing Gestapo. If you are a TEA Party member, Patriot organization, Christian or Jewish group or a group committed to liberty and the preservation of the US Constitution, you have likely been targeted by the now – apparently – all Marxist all the time Internal Revenue Service. The IRS – in what increasingly appears to be getting closer and closer to its orders coming directly from the Oval Office – has been summarily withholding tax exempt status from those groups that oppose Obama’s policies. These group members have also been asked highly-intrusive – and probably illegal – questions by the IRS. If they don’t answer them, the IRS has – also in writing – advised them that they can and/or will be held in contempt and subject to perjury charges. Many of the same groups have waited for years for approval and some are still waiting. However, groups that publicly agree with Obama or have group names indicating they’re on the Left politically have sailed right through and received their tax exempt status.

The IRS has actually admitted that it affected the above actions and is still continuing the illegal activities today! In fact, recently the IRS began targeting conservative groups for “audits” and “special attention” which already have tax exempt status. Additionally, the IRS has also finally been caught having leaked information on former Republican (and TEA Party) Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell’s tax records to the Delaware Democrat Party!

These are way beyond dirty-tricks and it should be abundantly clear to any and all with a bit more than a brain stem that Obama has set up and is in the process of using his personal hammer and sickle groups to implement his increasingly violent police state activity. The Iron Curtain encircling the USA is almost fully down. But, even these actions are only the tip of the iceberg.

Part II coming soon.

“Darwin’s Doubt” … Jerry Newcombe

“Darwin’s Doubt”
By Jerry Newcombe

*********************

Every time I log into a computer and have to enter my password, I’m reminded of how impossible evolution is.

One little mistake on the keypad, and I can’t log in. There’s even a website where I seem to be in permanent “log-in purgatory.” I can’t login ever. Granted, it’s operator error. But still…

How does this tie to evolution?  Because if evolution were true, then we are to believe a whole series of complex sequences managed to get everything right—-repeatedly.

To use a clichéd example: It would be like a monkey typing at random and coming out with the complete works of Shakespeare without any errors.

There’s a new book on evolution that is getting a lot of attention—-and deservedly so. It is Darwin’s Doubt by Stephen Meyer. If you’re familiar with the topic, the subtitle is very clever “The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design.”

This is not some minor book by an “obscurantist backwoods fundamentalist.” It is published by HarperCollins and was written by a man who earned his Ph.D. at Cambridge. This 500-page illustrated book made its way to 7th place on the New York Times bestseller list.

I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Meyer of the Discovery Institute on my radio show last week. He said of his book, “The title tells the story. I tell the story of a doubt that Darwin had about his own theory.” The doubt centers around what’s known as the Cambrian Explosion.

About a decade ago, TIME magazine had a cover story on the Cambrian Explosion. They called it “Biology’s Big Bang.” Geologists place the Cambrian period, which they say was supposedly 550 million years ago, seven geological periods before the Jurassic one, as in Jurassic Park.

Meyer explains, “The Cambrian Explosion refers to the geologically sudden or abrupt appearance of the major group of animals early in the fossil record, in a period of time that geologists call the Cambrian.” The key word is “abrupt.”

In his classic book, On the Origin of the Species, Darwin wrote, “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. But I can find out no such case.”

But Meyer says Darwin was aware of the Cambrian period (“at first commonly called the Silurian” (Darwin’s Doubt, p. 6)). Meyer says, “it was a challenge to his theory because he anticipated that the mechanism of natural selection, acting on random variations, would have to work very slowly and gradually. He thought that the variations would be slow, minute, and incremental. If they were big, the mechanism would create deformities that would not survive, so he thought the mechanism needed to generate small and incremental variations. And that would take a lot of time.”

As noted, Darwin was aware of the Cambrian Explosion, but hoped that future discoveries would somehow nullify the significance of the Cambrian. However, they have not.

Meyer told my listeners, “What we see in the fossil record is the abrupt appearance of these animal forms. [Darwin] knew of some of them in his time. But he anticipated or hoped that subsequent generations of fossil-hunters and paleontologists would discover the ancestral precursors to these animal forms in the lower pre-Cambrian layers.”

What has happened since Origins was first published in 1859?  “In fact,” says Meyer,  “what’s happened is that more and more Cambrian animals have been discovered—-most of which have still lacked these ancestral forms. And so we have this pattern of very abrupt, discontinuous appearance, in contrast with the picture of the history of life, which Darwin drew of a slow, gradual, unfolding of life.”

This problem for Darwinism is not just in the fossils. The so-called missing links are still missing. But Meyer also notes, “It’s this deeper problem of coming up with a mechanism that explains complex animal life, especially in the wake of all the things we discovered in the last 50, 60 years in biology about the importance of information—-digital code and other forms of information that are stored in DNA and elsewhere in the cell.”

Meyer adds, “It’s just like in computer science. If you want to have a new function on your computer, you’ve got to have lots of code, lots of instruction. If you want to build these complex animal forms, we now know, you need information, you need instructions. And that’s the crucial question that is really creating an impasse in evolutionary theory. Where does that information come from?”

Oh, I get it—-“In the beginning was the Word…”

Fearing Obama … Alan Caruba

Fearing Obama

By Alan Caruba

I have been sensing something about the mood of many Americans that I think is unprecedented in the history of the nation. It is a fear of the President. A fear that one observer, Daniel Henninger of The Wall Street Journal, calls “the president’s creeping authoritarianism.”

Obama has had four and a half years to pursue his goal of “transforming” America and, along the way, he has continually expressed his disdain for the constraints of the Constitution, his contempt for Congress and the Supreme Court, and, if his recent speeches are any indication, his belief that enough Americans are so dumb they will believe anything he says.

Overall, there is a growing sense of foreboding as four in five Americans are facing some degree of poverty and a small chance of finding work. One can feel the nation slowing down, its momentum sapped, its national sense of optimism being drained.

The bankruptcy of a major American city, Detroit, tells one everything they need to know about the result of decades of liberal governance and its acceleration under Obama. What other cities face a similar fate? Is the nation on the path to becoming a third-world economy?

I had my own fears evoked by a news report that “The U.S. government has demanded that major Internet companies divulge user’s stored passwords, according to two industry sources familiar with these orders, which represent an escalation in surveillance techniques that has not previously been disclosed.”

In countless ways, the Constitutional protection of privacy is being eroded along with reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been purchasing huge quantities of ammunition and military-style vehicles. A new book discusses the way local police forces have been developing SWAT teams with similar capabilities. What kind of domestic uprising is DHS anticipating? And why is it anticipating it?

The National Security Agency is building a huge complex in Utah, larger even than the Pentagon, to store data it collects, presumably about Americans as well as foreigners. Kiss the Fourth Amendment goodbye, yet Congress just voted to sustain the NSA without restraints.

Why hasn’t Congress acted to repeal the National Defense Authorization Act that permits the government to arrest and detain any American without recourse to an attorney or the courts?

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has been on a tear, presumably to find out the sources of leaks in the Obama administration, seizing the telephone records of the Associated Press without giving the AP due notice.

Americans are beginning to suspect that there is little justice to be found in the DOJ, particularly since the revelations about “Fast and Furious”, an idiotic program of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency to purchase and “walk” guns into Mexico in order to “track” them. It was obvious they would end up in the hands of the drug cartels. It took an executive order by Obama to shut down a congressional investigation into this bizarre scheme. His administration has done everything it could to undermine the Second Amendment.

Over at the Internal Revenue Service, one of its officials accused of targeting patriot organizations seeking tax except status has plead the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering a congressional committee’s questions.

Meanwhile, the Affordable Care Act—Obamacare—is in the process of expanding the IRS as the government begins its takeover of one sixth of the nation’s economy with a piece of legislation that has already been declared a “train wreck”, unmanageable and, most importantly, so intrusive into our personal lives that no previous generation would have ever allowed it. Obamacare is already wrecking the economy as businesses large and small try to anticipate its costs.

The appalling lies about the terrorist attack on the U.S. Benghazi consulate are evidence in themselves that the Obama administration is prepared to deceive Americans about the killing of a U.S. ambassador and three of his security personnel. The orders given during the course of the attack were to do nothing. This is unprecedented. And frightening.

Millions of Americans out of work have very real cause to fear for their well-being, but the President recently told them the real threat was “climate change”, not an economy that is not producing jobs, but in fact shedding them, keeping the rate of unemployment unchanged for years.

There is a point when one must ask if this is deliberate and not just the result of bad domestic policies. If the answer is yes, then Americans have real cause to fear the President and the prospect of living in a surveillance state where everything they communicate and everyone with whom they communicate can be identified.

There are those raising warnings about the direction in which the nation is going, but unless there are demonstrations by Americans that want to see an end to these laws and trends, the progress toward tyranny will continue.

Marches are being planned for Washington, D.C., and they may hold the key to the future before America becomes a totalitarian nightmare.
