The Manchurian Candidate

Here’s a story that is running on Bloomberg.com, presently, by Kevin Hasset.  The story is not that surprising by itself.  It basically is asking whether or not a plotting foreign power with designs on the destruction of the U.S. economy and 20 years to spare, could prepare a trojan horse candidate that could wreak more economic havoc than has Obama in his first 50 days.  Good question.  But what’s really interesting about this, is that its on Bloomberg.com (as pointed out by VanHelsing of Moonbattery).  

Here is a very mainstream business and financial news outlet openly contrasting President Wonderful to a ‘Manchurian Candidate’?  That’s not a good sign, folks.  If a story like this is making onto Bloomberg, you have to wonder how bad the actual situation is.  

From the begining of the stimulus fiasco, I’ve been of the opinion that none of this has anything to do with jobs or the economy – I think even the most ardent Obama supporters, even though they may not admit it, are pretty embarrassed about that which they have passed under the guise of economic stimulus.  The bill is about redefining America in an unprecedented manner, taking us further down the road to socialism, and quite possibly the eventuality of a Marxist state, right here in the good ol’ U.S. of A..  You wanted change, you’re going to get it.

Are we there yet, no, but consider the stimulus big shove in that direction.  Years ago, 1966, a couple of Columbia professors named Cloward and Piven theorized that it would be possible to hasten the downfall of free market capitalism by placing extreme and ever increasing demands for services from the public (government) sector.  This theory was known as the Cloward-Piven strategy and was embraced and promoted by the likes of Saul Alinsky, who was a guru to both Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton, whom he offered a job after her graduation from Wellesley.  You can read about the Cloward-Piven strategy here, and it is scary.

I think that the stock market is doing exactly what our beloved dear leader wants, at present.  Once those pesky 401k’s are 101k’s, you’ll need a lot more of what Obama and company have to offer.  Everything is under control.
