Before I move further into this thread, I would first like to reveal that I am in fact African American, despite the many attacks I've received in this forum over the years for being an "angry White male." I chose to reveal this information so that no one can respond to this thread by saying that anything negative I say about Obama is related to his race. Now that we've got that out of the way, the next thing I would like to say is that though I voted for Obama, I voted for Ron Ernest Paul at my state's caucus. I still think that Ron Paul would make a better president due to his age and deep understanding of economic principles, as well as in incorruptibility. The World Currently Celebrates The world is currently celebrating the election of our first Black president. At this moment, his approval ratings are high, but this is not because of anything he has actually done or achieved in regards to his political policies, but rather because of the fact he is America's first Black president. However, I urge all people reading this, especially Black people, to look past this fact. The time for celebration is over. We now have to take the time to consider what the man will actually do once he is in office. If he does what he "should" do, it will become the greatest president ever, and will remake America into the strong nation that she is. If he doesn't do the things I recommend in this thread, then he is doomed to be another George W. Bush, but his fate will be worse since he would be the first Black president. As the first Black president, Obama can't afford to be a Bush. He has to be the exact opposite. Unfortunately, his economic stimulus package proposed so far endangers the U.S. to a hyperinflationary collapse. To solve the problems America faces today, here are the things Obama must do: What Obama Must Do to Solve America's Problems 1. Obama must immediately pull all our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He must refuse to wage war with any other nation without "just cause," including Pakistan or Iran. Restrict our military to defensive purposes only and restrict them to 200 miles off the U.S. coast. Only wage war if we're invaded. 2. Obama must refuse to send aid to Israel, and stay out of their business. All the money the Obama administration would send to aid Israel should be used to help Americans who are suffering during this economic crisis. Following George Washington's advice of "avoiding foreign entanglements." 3. Close down all the U.S bases around the world. The locals don't want our troops there and it is costing us hundreds of millions which should be flowing through our own economy. 4. Back the dollar by silver and gold. Shut down the Federal Reserve, at gun point if necessary. 5. Have George W. Bush and Dick Cheney arrested immediately for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and put them on trial for breaking both national and international law. Open new investigation of 911 attacks. 6. Replace your economic advisers with Ron Paul. Ron Paul is the only man who has real solutions to America's economic problems. 7. Stop with the bail outs and "stimulus packages" or risk destroying the dollar and the U.S. economy. Follow Austrian economic theories instead of Keynesian theories. 8. Seek to restore America's manufacturing capacity. No nation can prosper without manufacturing capability. 9. Be prepared for war against the Illuminati. Replace your entire secret service agents, and increase your security 1000 fold, for if you do the things I advocate in this thread Obama, "they" will come for you. You must be prepared for them. Bomb sniffing dogs, counter snipers, food scanners and body doubles should be just some of the things you should employ to avoid assassination. Trust no one, especially the CIA and NSA. Most American agencies have been compromised. 10. In your state of the Union address, appeal to the American people and tell them that "enemies of the Republic seek to do our country harm." Name names, reveal the list of Bilderberg members, and begin hunting them down. 11. Get the U.S. out of the U.N for our national security. 12. Get rid of the stupid income tax, and replace it with a consumption tax. 13. Call in author Robert Greene as Your foreign policy Advisor. His wisdom would be an indispensable tool for dealing with foreign and domestic threats and issues. 14. Seek to build strong relations with Russsia. Ignore those in your administration which seek to increase aggression against Russia. 15. Hold a state of the union address in which you reveal that you will arm the American people with fully automatic weapons. Relax gun laws to make it easier for Americans to get automatic weapons. Purchase hundreds of thousands of guns from different sources, and arm Americans, especially those who live in inner city ghettos. By arming the public, gang members would be eradicated and violent crime would fall dramatically. What If Obama Followed the 15 Recommendations Above? If Barack Hussein Obama were to follow the 15 recommendations above, he would go a long ways towards restoring America's credibility and capability throughout the world. He would not only be the first African American president, but the greatest president this country has ever known. All the stereotypes and racism leverage against Blacks would forever be eradicated, harbored only by an ignorant few. By following my recommendations, Barack Obama would become as great as Julius Caesar, George Washington, or Napoleon. He would go down in history as the greatest leader the world has ever known, for he was capable of rebuilding an Republic that is in decline, a feat that few leaders, past or present, have been able to accomplish. Why The Illuminati Allowed a Black President Most of the African Americans and other people of color around the world who celebrate the current inauguration of Barack Obama are too ignorant to understand the ramifications of his presidency. The question that I have been asking myself since his November 4th win is Why? and Why now? The answers to this question are terrifying. First off, The Illuminati originally wanted Hillary Rodham Clinton to become president, and had been gearing her for this. However, the public's intense hatred of her and enthusiams with Barack Obama, who is much more charismatic, gave the Illuminati the decision to push Obama to the forefront. While I don't know exactly what was said at the latest Bilderberg Conference last year in Chantilly, Virginia, I believe that both Obama and Hillary met with the Elite to be told that it was Obama who had been chosen, but this is only speculation. Obama is a pawn in his current position. He has been allowed to become America's first Black president at a time when the country is on the verge of an economic train wreck, one that would no doubt destroy us financially and perhaps send us into the status of a second world nation. The current economic plan that Obama has ensures that we would end up in this state, and suddenly the world would go from celebrating Obama to loathing him. If Obama's economic policies lead to a massive collapse, then he would get the blame, and the world would get the impression that a Black leader is incompetent. The Illuminati already knows this, they already know their system is in serious trouble and they need a "fall guy." The fall guy is Barack Obama. He was put in office to further the goals of turning America into a police state, and merging Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. into the NAU(North American Union). Obama will be hated if he allows himself to be a pawn, and again, the world will see Black Leaders as being incompetent. To get around this problem, Obama must turn on his Illuminati masters and follow the recommendations I've listed in this thread. He may be killed by the Illuminati if he takes these recommendations, but he has no choice, because the weight of America is on his shoulders. The whole world is watching, and as America's first Black president, he CANNOT afford to screw this up. Do what must be done to make America strong.
lol @ all the free articles being posted on DP lately. P.S. I was with you most of the way until you went off on the Illuminati crazy-train. They "allowed" him to be elected, yet they originally "wanted" Hillary to be elected so I guess they "allowed" themselves to NOT get what they want? Then "you believe" (yeah you said you believe...) they had a secret meeting attended by Hillary and Barack where Barack was told that he was chosen..... cookoo - cookoo .
You have some good points there, but sadly it is people like you who give a bad name to the traditional conservatives and Ron Paul supporters because of the whole conspiracy thing.
The proposals are good and I support most of them except for (a) pulling the US out of the UN? (b) an "Illuminati" conspiracy theory?
i agree in many points. now the us must stand for her self. she can't help anybody if she weak inside.
The United Nations is controlled by the globalists, also known as the Illuminati. It is the first step towards a one world government, which the Illuminati will control. President Woodrow Wilson, also a puppet of the elite, founded the League of Nations, which was the first step towards a one world government, but the American people shut it down, and other nations backed out. The U.N. is bad news, trust me, we don't need to be in it. The Illuminati isn't a conspiracy theory, it is a fact:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group The Bilderberg Group "is" the Illuminati, people just call them by different names. They are basically a really powerful global Mafia, bent on world domination with the means to achieve it. Do your research, they funded Obama's campaign, you can't run for president in this country without having tens of millions, where did Obama get the money? From guys like the Rockefellers. They give Obama the money so that they can be sure he follows their goals when he becomes president. Ron Paul shares my views, he is quoted on video saying we need to get out of the U.N. for a our national security, he himself says there are people in Washington "who don't care about our borders." Conspiracies are real, I don't know where you get the idea that they aren't. When two guys plan a robbery, that is a conspiracy, they happen every day. Don't you watch the tv series 24, the show may be fictional, but the reality is that it is exactly how the government works, every season there is a conspiracy. The latest season of 24, season 7, is an excellent example of how our government "really" works. Art indeed imitates life. For example, in the latest episode, president Allison Taylor's husband is murdered by his own secret service agent, who is himself in cahoots with a higher authority. The presidential administration has been infiltrated and compromised over diamond deposits in the fictional African country of Sangala. 24 is just a preview of the government and how it functions at the highest level. For those of you who think this stuff is a joke, even JFK made statements about "secret societies, secret oaths, and secret proceedings." What was he talking about? There have been so many books written on this subject, those of you who think I'm a conspiracy nut simply don't read. Spend less time watching football and start reading books on the subject, you will find out the truth for yourself. As quoted from the TV show the X-files: The Truth is Out There.
Even if you don't believe in "conspiracy theories" take a hard look at Obama's economic plan. Even Democrats are skeptical. Another stimulus package of $800 billion? Isn't that not what Bush did? Where does Obama get the money? The answer is that Obama either borrows it or prints it, and either way, if he continues on his present course, he will destroy the economy because the dollar can't keep getting pounded like that and still maintain its value. Hugo Chavez is right, Obama does have the "stench" of Bush. But he can change this by sticking to his principles and choosing to be a true leader instead of a puppet for a shadow government. Whether or not Obama will do this remains to be seen, but his economic policy, quite frankly, scares the living daylights out of me. Obama's proposed tax cuts have been proven to be a joke, and he isn't getting to the root of the problem, which is the Federal Reserve. Obama knows who put him in office, he isn't stupid, he knows he was given millions of dollars by powerful groups that DO NOT have the best interests of the American people at heart. So Obama can serve the people who funded his campaign, or the voters. Sorry, you can't do both. Those of you who laugh at me for being a conspiracy nut are funny. You guys should really hit the books more. Even in The Prince, written by Machiavelli, he says that the "prince must make the choice of serving either the nobles or the people." Machiavelli makes it clear that the prince can't do both. And Machiavelli also says that "the nobles seek to oppress the people, while the people do not wish to be oppressed." So, you guys keep laughing, there is the wisdom of a famous writer at work. I tell you one thing, Obama better choose the side of the American people. I'm going to do like Jim Rogers, by the summer I'm getting most of my assets out of U.S. dollars, because I can see the handwriting on the wall. As an African American, I'm proud to see a Black man become president, but if Obama is going to be a puppet of the elite, we would be much better off with Ron Paul. I also want to say if Ron Paul had got the Republican nomination, I would have voted for him over Obama any day of the week. I'm smart enough to look past race, and look at policy, and Paul is the better man. I was recently watching an old TV show from the 1990s, and on one episode they were talking about the cost for going to Harvard. On the date this episode aired, in 1991, going to Harvard ran you $16,000 per year. Today it costs $40,000. That is inflation at work for you. Ask yourself how long this can go on before the dollar finally collapses. Oh yeah, I had to throw in one more thing...........why is it that Obama's inauguration had to cost $150 million? Why so much extravagance in a time of such financial difficulties. Couldn't Obama have had, say, a $5 million inauguration, and used the rest to provide food for the homeless, or do some other work that would help the public?
Well like I have said, If you wanna know more about any candidate just follow the money trail. See which big companies contributed to obama and which contributed to mccain. Anyone own any mirrors.
I don't buy into the Obama is historic rhetoric. If he fails, the democrats are to blame and not any race or religion. The US is in too much of a rush to throw money at the problem. What we need first is a plan and reform. I believe that most of the financial bailout money is going to be wasted and then we will be in deep trouble. Throwing money at New Orleans didn't solve anything and the place is still a disaster.
I agree with you Bogart, but you have to see how the world sees things, as well as race relations in the U.S. As the first Black president, a lot is riding on Obama. He really can't afford to go in there and become a disaster. Bush could get away with it for two terms, but Obama can't. He really needs to turn things and around and put the country on the right track, but if he chooses to be a puppet, then he will never be anything but a Black Bush. And I have to tell you, a $150 million inauguration at a time when half the U.S. population is struggling is very questionable. The cost of his inauguration scares me. This guy is living it up and partying at a time when millions struggle, this is BS. If I were Obama, there is no way in hell I would do that. I would use the money to purchase books or computer equipment for inner city schools, I would give some more to the homeless, I would try to give back to Americans and be as frugal as a president can be. I would have left the Inauguration at $5 million and not went a penny above. Here is another thing that no one is talking about. First off, I've found that a lot of the money from the inauguration actually came from some of the same executives who received bail outs. In other words, Wall Street foot the bill. Now why would Wall Street pay money for Obama's inauguration? The answer is because they are trying to keep him at bay, keep him off their backs. Obama recently said that "the greed of a few has caused the problems we have today." Hmm, I agree, but he doesn't specifically name any group. Is he talking about the Wall Street boys that funded his party, or the Americans out there who are hard working, self reliant entrepreneurs who made themselves rich with hard work and sweat equity? My biggest fear is that this guy is going to come for those who us who are self made, when we are not the problem, it is the elite blue blood Wall Street guys who are the problem, but Obama won't go after them because he is in their pocket. The problem with the Democrats is that when they talk about taxing the "rich" they are really talking about upper middle class Americans who make more than $100,000 per year or more. While this group is indeed well off, they are not the true elite, it is these Wall Street CEOs and Fortune 500 executives with their $50 million annual salaries, as well as the Illuminati above them, but you won't see Obama go after those guys. Nope, it is all about destroying the Middle Class. By the way Bogart, I clicked your signature link to go to that Eva Mendes site............that woman is extremely gorgeous, to say the least. Eva Mendes is eye candy.
Ron Paul does not share your views on the conspiracy thing, which is what I was talking about. And I know what a conspiracy is, but these huge conspiracies like the Illuminati controlling the United States are absurd. Also, quoting television shows isn't helping your case, especially when you say "don't you read books?" Those shows are fictional and I have never seen 24, but I am guessing it has something to do with your ideas of a higher power controlling the presidency. If so, how do you know that that's how the government runs? Are you in the government? I highly doubt it. I know there are plenty of books on the subject, but that doesn't mean its true. Heck, there are plenty of books about goblins and dwarves and elves, does that mean they are real too?
The Democrats believe that $75,000 a year ($150,000 for couples) is rich. After taxes, social security and rent, there's not much left over. Of course, it depends on the part of the country you live in. I don't have a problem providing services to the poor but it has to be paid for. Obama wants to give people that don't pay taxes, a tax refund. Basically, that is income redistribution or as Obama calls it, 'share the wealth'. A flat tax would be a step in the right direction. That way everyone feels the pain. Lets say that we have a 40% tax rate. The guy making 10k would pay $4,000 and the guy making 100k would pay $40,000. The big issue with the income tax is that there is no limit. On paper the government could increase the rate on people making 100k to 90% The current stimulus that the Democrats are pushing isn't too much of a stimilus. Looks more like socialism. Most of these items look like they will need to be renewed in 2010. Where's the money going to come one? http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/106461/How-Stimulus-Affects-You There's plenty more where that came from in Havana. Let's see what happens when Fidel/Raul turn over power. Havana is 90 miles from Miami and there probably be a window of opportunity where you could buy cheap.
You should listen to the alex jones refeed on winamp. He broke Obama's speech down almost sentence by sentence to expose him for the NWO puppet piece of Illuminati trash that he is. Hopefully with people's continued donations to Alex Jones' cause we will soon all finally be free. I must go now, the NWO information control task force, ahem, the secret service is probably moving in on my location. /poof
If you don't believe me when it comes to conspiracies, then maybe you will believe Major Smedley Butler, a Medal of Honor winner who fought for this country on numerous campaigns. He went on national television and revealed a plot known today as The Business Plot. He said that powerful people in the government approached him about the possibility of leading 500,000 U.S. troops to attack Washington D.C. to set up a fascist dictatorship, but he turned them down and blew the whistle:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot I challenge anyone in this forum who doesn't agree with my views to show evidence which counters that which I linked to above. Will you believe what the talking heads tell you on TV, or a Major General? Will you believe a fellow citizen, or Barack Obama? This conspiracy stuff is real, if you read you will find out the "facts." Obama is an errand boy for the elite, I've actually heard some people here comparing him to Malcom X. Are you kidding me? Malcom X was a real leader, a hero who died for what he believed in. Obama is an errand boy, if Malcom X were president he would hang Bush and Cheney by their balls for war crimes. You guys think this economic situation is a joke, but I assure you the U.S. economy will collapse. You have pundits comparing Obama to FDR, but FDR was a piece of trash who stole gold from Americans and prolonged the Great Depression due to his economic policies. The dollar is going to collapse under Obama, I hope you have some silver, gold, and foreign equities when it does. I voted for Obama largely because he was the lesser of two evils, and as an African American, I wanted to see the first Black president. I didn't like the fact that all the states in the Southern United States went for McCain, so that prompted me to go vote for Obama. But I originally voted for Ron Paul at my state's caucus, and he is the person I really wish became president. The problem is, Obama and McCain are basically two sides of the same coin, you've got people in America that think Obama can walk on water. You're right Bogart, it is basically socialism. The Republicans push Fascism, while the Democrats endorse Socialism. Each path leads to the same destination, which is the end of America and a totalitarian police state. Obama can turn around and change things, but he if sold his soul then all hope is lost. My biggest fear is that this guy is going to destroy the value of the dollar. Cuban women are hot, I've been with one Cuban girl and she had such a nice body, smooth golden brown skin. I'm still working on my Spanish, maybe I will go to Havana one day. Right now I'm reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, and I will be reading a bunch of investment books related to Warren Buffet over the next few weeks. I'm getting my assets out of U.S. dollars, I can clearly see where the economy is heading. So many prominent investors have been warning of a dollar collapse that anyone who doesn't take the economic situation seriously is a damn fool, who will lose any wealth they have. America is headed, in my opinion, towards the greatest wealth redistribution which has occurred in history. In Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Kiyosaki says that his "rich dad" warned him that "great civilizations usually collapse once the gap between the rich and the poor becomes too big." His rich dad also said that he foresaw a day when the dollar would lose its gold and silver backing, and then Americans would be slaving for money that wasn't "true" money. No wonder Rich Dad, Poor Dad became a best seller....... These conversations Kiyosaki had with his Rich dad occurred during the 1950s, and the book he wrote is prophetic, because the things he talks about are the things that are actually happening. I urge people to get their financial advice from "real" sources as opposed to these fake Wall Street Illuminati puppets. Below is a 25 minute video where Kiyosaki and Tim Maloney predict the future collapse of the U.S. dollar, and explains how Americans can protect themselves by investing in precious metals: http://thetruthaboutsilver.com/
The only way to turn the problem around is pass a balanced budget amendment. The chances of that happening I remember reading a book back in the 80's that was written by Robert Riech. Reich goes way back with the Clintons and used to date Hillary. The Book that I sounds a lot like what Obama is proposing. I'm wondering if Robert Reich is feeding Obama his ideas. Reich's blog is located here
