Why do I say this? Read on…

Despite the seperation of church and state doctrine.  The state department appears to have issued a memo encouraging State Department officials to help organize campaigns to raise food for local area mosques and communities.

Say, what?!?!?!

Organize a food-drive for the end of Ramadan with religious leaders and citizens in Muslim communities to donate to a local mosque or community…

Yep, you read that right.  No Ummah or main religious leader in Islam has ever appologized for 9/11.  And perhaps as few as 200,000,000 Muslims and as many as 900,000,000 Muslims are cool with the idea of violent Jihad according to research.  And the “Religion of Peace” is still clocking in at 3-4 average documented killings EVERY DAY but moderate Muslims remain pretty silent.  Yet according to the memo I linked to our State Department should try and organize fund raising events for mosques to commemorate 9/11!

I hope the memo is a fake.   Cooperation relys on trust.  A group of people from whom no leading figure has ever apologized and from which the moderate community remains silent cannot establish a relationships of trust.   If their can be no trust there can be no cooperation.  Cooperation implies atleast two (groups or individuals) working together not one working alone.  Especially, while a large portion (20-40%) of the group not working together is actually working to stick a knife in the other groups/individuals back.  But what would somebody expect from our politicians? Less stupidity!

On the jobs front, the Labor Department said initial claims for unemployment insurance fell to a seasonally adjusted 550,000 from an upwardly revised 576,000 in the previous week. The number of people continuing to receive benefits fell by 159,000 to nearly 6.1 million, the lowest level since early April.

via The Associated Press: Trade, jobless claims figures show recession fades.

Us American’s really appreciate the fact that now for 35 months straight new jobless claims have top 500,000 mark.   At this rate another 2 years from now the rate might actually dip below the half a million mark.  Usually people look at the the results of their work to determine if they’re doing any good.  Not American politicians they look at the words they speak if they say loosing 500,000 jobs is  a good thing then it is a good thing.  So, hooray only 500,000 jobs were lost this month.

Yet, I don’t feel happy? And why do I get an ominous feeling?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – No one at the Federal Reserve advised Bank of America chief Kenneth Lewis on any disclosure issues, Fed spokeswoman Michelle Smith said on Thursday.

“No one at the Federal Reserve advised Ken Lewis or Bank of America on any questions of disclosure,” Smith said in an e-mail responding to a question. “It has long been the Federal Reserve’s view that questions of this nature are best addressed by individual institutions and their legal counsel, as they are in a position to understand clearly their obligations and responsibilities.”

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday that Lewis was pressured by senior federal officials Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke to accept a merger with troubled Merrill Lynch & Co or lose his job.

The banks are of course in the pockets of the Fed and Treasury.  They are nationalized.   They didn’t want the money and were forced to take it.  They wanted to pay it back and aren’t allowed.  CEO’s can be fired at will (See AIG and GM). 

The government now runs our banks, car manufacturing industry, health care, and energy industries.  We live in a fascist state.  This is fact.  The people being oppressed are the successfully rich.  Who is next?

I want no part in fascism. 

You may say this was under Bush’s watch which is true but to think it’s not being ramped up under Obama’s is naive and stupid.  Geithner and Obama are just if not more guilty according to CBS.

“When asked if he would leave open the option to pressure a bank CEO to resign, Geithner replied: “Of course.”

First, they come after somebody you don’t know.  Maybe some fat cat in Wall Street.  Then they oust a manufacturing CEO.  Then they tell the banks what rates they can lend at and to whom they should lend.  Then they come after your neighbor.  Who is next?

People – It’s important that we let the world know what is happening.  Fascism is not a road we want to head down.  Obama may be a bigot towards the successful and rich, but it doesn’t mean we have to buy into the bigotry.  It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t oppose a fascist regime.  Whether elected by the majority or not.  Just because the majority says fascism and bigotry is ok doesn’t mean we can stand against them. 

It’s only going to get harder for us from here on out.  Even if we are able to change the power in D.C. in 2010 and 2012 power corrupts and D.C. now has almost absolute power.
