Obama's Nobel Peace Prize fraud, like Carter's and Gore's
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
Daily Press
October 12, 2009

Out of touch
 
President Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after only 8 months in
office with no real accomplishments comes as no surprise. It is merely Nobel
candy with costly strings attached.

Obama, along with former president Carter (2002) and former vice president
Gore (2007) were given their Nobel Peace Prizes, not for their achievements
in making peace, but as European cheap tricks to put the burden of world
problems -- real or imagined -- on the backs of American taxpayers.

The leaders of Egypt and Israel, Sadat and Begin, had already made an
agreement before they went to Carter to host the so-called Camp David
Accords because they needed us to pay the costs. Likewise, Al Gore together
with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were jointly awarded the
prize so that America would bear the primary costs of questionable global
warming. It didn't matter that the awards were based upon fraud and deceit.

Of course the Peace Prize Committee followed that up by saddling President
Obama and the United States with what Obama already put in motion to battle
climate change and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, which if carried
out would certainly break our economic back and leave us defenseless.
Indeed, the Committee has turned the Nobel Peace award into a corrupt
political tool rendering it irrelevant, and damaging most of the other Nobel
categories.

Small enough to fail

It is troubling to realize that, considering his economic recovery failures
and his obsessions with economy-busting, strong-arm government programs,
President Obama seems destined to give away the American farm rather than
guarding it and helping it prosper by any means necessary. Delusions of
omniscience and playing his world-view games in a world replete with
dangerous serial cheaters is naive, self-involved and foolish.

As the hurt wises up the American people, they will realize that President
Obama is not too big to fail, that voters made a big mistake, and that the
White House cabal and the gang of liberal Democrats controlling Congress are
wrong for us.

President Obama is not too big to fail

It is troubling to realize that, considering his economic recovery failures
and his obsessions with economy-busting, strong-arm government programs,
President Obama seems destined to give away the American farm rather than
guarding it and helping it prosper by any means necessary. Delusions of
omniscience and playing his world-view games in a world replete with

Resist Iranian ploys

Iran, not unlike North Korea, has proven time and time again that it does
not negotiate ("Defiant Iran tests missiles," Sept. 28). To the contrary,
Iran welcomes diplomacy as a mere diversion and opportunity to delay action
until it gets what it wants, which is nuclear arms power.

And what Iran really wants is to destroy Israel and dominate the region. For
President Obama to think otherwise is an exercise in delusions of his
omniscience in his quest for a nuclear weapons-free world.

Israel, on the other hand, will survive by any means necessary. It is
troubling to realize that Obama seems destined to give away the American
farm rather than guard it and help it prosper by any means necessary.

Audacity fails to secure Olympics for Chicago
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
October 2, 2009

It is gratifying to learn that South America's Rio De Janeiro was selected
by the International Olympic Committee to host the 2016 Olympics instead of
Chicago. Indeed, the audacity of the Obama's and Oprah -- along with
Chicago's culture of political corruption is -- certainly not representative
of the United States of America.


Obama's "Fire it up" will misfire
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
September 12, 2009

President Obama introduced his "Fire it up. Ready to go" pep talk story at
the AFL-CIO union gathering to sell his health care plans, then again at the
Minnesota rally to counter the tax and spend insurgency in Washington. The
problem for Obama is, his health care plan will undoubtedly misfire when the
rubber meets the road and reality sets in. Indeed, his claim that he pulled
us back from the brink, is in fact pushing us to the brink and over the edge
to social, political and economic oblivion.

President Obama and the liberal Congress simply don't get it. They can't
push their agenda on the American people because only they, the political
elite, know what's good or bad for us. The collective wisdom and judgment of
we the people know what is in our best interests, or not. The federal
government needs to be reformed and cleansed of corruption. And we the
people are "fired up" to make that happen. After all, this is our country,
warts and all. And it's time for common sense and the best of us to
represent the rest of us, as it was in the beginning of our unique nation of
liberty, freedom and justice for all.


No apology necessary for the truth - The time for bickering is over?
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
September 9, 2009

Lest we forget, Bush was booed by Democrats and nothing was made of it.
Pelosi said action may be taken because House rules prohibit calling the
president a liar. Not action taken against the many who called Bush a liar
every day. And since when is a sedition rule alright now but abandoned long
ago not long after the founding?

When the Republican Representative from South Carolina, Joe Wilson shouted,
"You lie!" to President Obama during his speech to Congress and the American
people, he spoke the truth and no apology was necessary. His statement was
spontaneous, not unlike the many dissenters attending town hall meetings
across the country. Wilson's challenge was in response to Obama's remark
that health insurance would not be extended to illegal immigrants, which is
not true.

Indeed, President Obama told an even bigger lie when he promised that there
will be absolutely no change for all of us who have health insurance. My
personal concern is that, in the name of waste, fraud and abuse, Obama
intends to eliminate Medicare Advantage for 10 million seniors, which will
double or triple our premiums to cover 10 million flakes and illegal
immigrants. As if that's not bad enough, Obama's plan will increase the
states' Medicaid burdens for the uninsured, which will raise state
residents' taxes to satisfy unfunded federal mandates.

Alas, my reaction to President Obama's speech was as if I was watching the
mesmerizing King Cobra addressing the government empire-building
Congressional snake pit, the majority of whom are venomous, and bound to
make most of us sicker and poorer to satisfy the appetite of their
slithering agenda. Obama shunned the details on divisive issues, but that's
where the devil is. Congressman Wilson simply broke the spell, at least for
the moment.


Obama the great pretender
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
September 7, 2009

President Obama took off his tie and rolled up his sleeves in a union
organizing-style, "Fire it up," campaign speech at an AFL-CIO union picnic
in Cincinnati, Ohio to support his health care proposals. Indeed, the
president demonstrated his abilities at being the great pretender. However,
his fiery rhetoric gives cause for pause when his so-called promises to
build the middle class are in reality plans for much greater government
power, which is more likely to create a giant underclass in America.

That's not the change we want, which is to control and reduce government
wildfires, rather than adding fuel to burning our economy to the ground...
Next the arsonist will put on his congressional disguise to fire it up with,
"ready to go" on government option health care. When president Obama asks
all us middle class liars, "What are you going to do? What's your answer?
What's your solution?" Our solution is to vote out big government from
Congress and the White House in the next two elections and demand a real
American recovery government.

The perverson of liberal government
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
September 1, 2009

The perversion of liberal/socialist government has been eating away our
freedoms, the American dream of the pursuit of happiness, and killing
capitalism in California and the nation. Anyone who doubts that a takeover
is happening need only review the insidious creep of left-wing radicals,
their infection of the Democrat Party, the crushing demise of California,
and the Obama cabal disease running rampant in Washington and throughout the
country.

California is the prime example of the failed government policy, costly
disabled public education, environmental strangulation by regulation,
unreasonable government growth by entitlement and dependence, which raises
the cost of living with socialist-style intrusions that consume wages and
free enterprise by taxation and sends residents and businesses running out
of state. Yet in the face of economic collapse, California government
refuses potential revenue from oil, natural gas and other natural resources,
cuts off vital water resources and continues to raise fees, taxes and
penalties.

The United States government, now controlled by socialist Democrats in
Congress and President Obama's Marxist cabal in the White House, have taken
our mortally wounded economy and exacerbated the bursted housing and Wall
Street bubbles with a grand scheme to take over finance, big business,
energy, health care and the media by default, with lies, deceit and
intimidation, enormous abuse of power and insurmountable public debt.

The irony is, it was political philanthropists like Nancy Pelosi, Barney
Frank, Chris Dodd and Charles Schumer who set the economic disaster in
irreversible motion regardless of the unintended consequences. Barack Obama
seized the moment and the crises to win the election at any cost, and to
schmooze the frightened American people into a state of euphoric
vulnerability to abide by his massive transformation of government, the
economy and society. Only now are folks feeling the hurt and realizing that
this is a very very bad deal, and they are not buying it.

President Obama's mouthpiece
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
August 15, 2009

Under pressure, President Obama thinks and speaks poorly on his feet, so he relies on his mouthpiece, the all liberal all the time news media, to wit: (GE) NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NPR, PBS, AP, most newspapers and news magazines, most of the new Internet media, the film and entertainment industry; and of course, fair weather Democrats, the president's Chicago political gang and all the secular progressive appointees who are now running the country.

Lest we forget, General Electric (GE) has a big money stake in Obama's green energy and health care push. GE has advertised it openly in terms of advanced health care record keeping technology and communications, and the engines of green energy, which will land GE $billions in government contracts.

The people's mouthpiece: Keeping informed and communicating with sources of truth, speaking out and voting in every election. The things of freedom that keep liberty alive.

DDC founder, Daniel B. Jeffs' letter to Bill O'Reilly about his article in Parade Magazine was selected by O'Reilly for the August 10, 2009 mail segment of the O'Reilly Factor show. The Parade Magazine article praised President Obama's life as a role model for kids. I disagreed as follows:

"Sorry, Bill, the article was wrong-headed. Obama is abusing his power. Wise-up, you have angered your base."

Daniel Jeffs

Bill O'Reilly's reply: "I don't think so, Dan. The article was direct toward children. And everything written is true. My base wants the truth."

The Age of the Unthinkable: Why the New World Disorder Constantly Surprises
Us and What We Can Do About It
Author: Joshua Cooper Ramo
Publisher: Little, Brown & Company
March 2009

Synopsis

For decades, American foreign policy has been based on the seductive belief that there exists a logical relationship between power of states and the physics of change. And yet today policies designed to make us safer instead make the world more perilous. History's grandest war against terrorism creates more terrorists. Global capitalism, intended to boost the quality of life of people around the world, increases the gap between rich and poor. Decisions taken to stem a financial crisis guarantee its arrival. Environmental techniques engineered to protect species lead to their extinction. Middle East peace plans produce less peace. Our world is not becoming more stable or flatter or easier to comprehend. And what we face isn't one single shift, like the end of World War Two or the collapse of the Soviet Union, so much as a revolutionary avalanche of ceaseless change.
Now, drawing upon history, economics, complexity theory, human immunology, psychology and his own...

The New York Times - Michiko Kakutani

Perfect socialist storm forming in Washington
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
July 16, 2009

19th Century British libertarian philosopher Herbert Spencer warned about the "unintended consequences" of collectivist social reforms. He wisely observed that all socialism has elements of slavery. And that, "The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools." (1891)

There is a perfect socialist storm forming in Washington as the center of all power, creating the Climate and Change of a malevolent ideological wind blowing across America. How did we let this happen? What kind of fools are we? And what are we going to do about it?

Culture of Corruption:
Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies
Author: Michelle Malkin
Publisher: Regnery Publishing
July 2009

Synopsis

The era of hope and change is dead . . . .and it only took six months in office to kill it.

Never has an administration taken office with more inflated expectations of turning Washington around. Never have a media-anointed American Idol and his entourage fallen so fast and hard. In her latest investigative tour de force, New York Times bestselling author Michelle Malkin delivers a powerful, damning, and comprehensive indictment of the culture of corruption that surrounds Team Obama's brazen tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. In Culture of Corruption, Malkin reveals:

Obama/Democrats suppress free speech

The free speech suppression tactics of the Obama administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress are in blatant violation of the First Amendment and an indictment of one-party abuse of power in a two-party system that has failed miserably. Particularly, when the party in power manipulates the Constitution, moves to nationalize health care, and refuses to hold their congressional members accountable.

Contrary to popular political belief, our republic, indeed, our democracy is not for sale at any price. Alas, our freedom cannot survive when our government is divided and conquered by faction, with far more government than our Constitution ever intended, which was and is nonpartisan limited government.

President Obama is cranking up the White House propaganda machine to distribute the deceit to get his health care program nationalized through Congress. It begins with the Senior Advisor to the President, David Axelrod's August 10, 2009 White House email and the launch of a new online resource for health care insurance at http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck
The email letter as follows:

Dear Friend,

Anyone that's watched the news in the past few days knows that health insurance reform is a hot topic - and that rumors and scare tactics have only increased as more people engage with the issue. Given a lot of the outrageous claims floating around, it's time to make sure everyone knows the facts about the security and stability you get with health insurance reform.

Federal Ponizi scheme
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
July 7, 2009

Bernie Madoff is a piker compared to President Obama and congressional Democrats who have formed the largest hedge fund Ponzi scheme of all time. Forced investment by taxpayers will ultimately yield nothing but more taxes, more economic pain and less freedom -- all for the sake of blind, ungrateful ideological ambition and the ravenous political appetite for power and control of a nation. Problem is, the greatest nation in history cannot withstand the regressive cancer eating away at its unique constitution much longer. And we, its fortunate citizens cannot allow it to metastasize and become terminal.

President Obama our lack of national security

Smooth talk will not absolve President Obama or any of the presidents before him from violating their oath of office by failing to support, protect and defend the Constitution and America. Lest we forget the final lesson of 9/11, America must be defended by any means necessary...

There are four things most important to what America is and has been until now. Our Constitution, our freedoms, our education, and our unique culture. All four have been severely diminished by corrosive political ideology, social aggression, superficial selfish interests and extremes. Hopefully, we can turn it around and get our act together before it's too late.

How's Obama Doin'?

In his first 100 days, President Barack Obama has had to address such issues as torture, pirates, increasing unemployment, trouble in the Big Three car companies and corruption on Wall Street [May 4]. And yet for the first time in a long while, I have seen Americans begin to have hope for a stronger America. Congratulations, Mr. President, for giving Americans something they were seeking and sorely lacking.

President Obama aptly characterized the current recession recently as one caused by a "perfect storm of irresponsibility and poor decision-making that stretched from Wall Street to Washington to Main Street." Yet the Obama phenomenon could be brewing a more perfect storm, wherein an F.D.R.-L.B.J.--style government would promote intrusions that could inflict great social, political and economic devastation on us.

Sizing Up Obama's First 100 Days
By Joel Stein

Joel Stein's almost glowing report on President Obama's first 100 days in office comes as no surprise. However, the media-driven excitement glosses over troubling distractions and diversions, seemingly designed to dazzle the press, while confusing the public mind by tap dancing around looming national security problems gaining steam in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea.

On the economic front, President Obama aptly characterized this recession as "different" in his speech at Georgetown University on April 14, 2009. "This recession was not caused by a normal downturn in the business cycle. It was caused by a perfect storm of irresponsibility and poor decision-making that stretched from Wall Street to Washington to Main Street."

However, we must remember one thing: the Obama phenomenon could well be brewing a more perfect storm, wherein the magnificent obsession with FDR-LBJ-style government expansion is in fact a malignant deception, which will surely promote so much intrusive government expansion that -- if we let it -- could exact more social, political and economic devastation upon us than we can handle.

Re: Obama, Congress go AWOL on fiscal responsibility
USA TODAY
Monday, May 11, 2009

It is encouraging to see the USA TODAY is injecting some cautionary fiscal sanity into the federal budget debate on Capitol Hill. Driving America's ship of state while under the influence of economic crisis is not the time to go on a progressive fiscal binder destined to hit bottom regardless of the consequences. Indeed, basking in political power is a dangerous business, particularly when it seems as though President Obama and Congress are on a thrill-seeking adventure of instant gratification tantamount to the social, political and economic irrational exuberance and irresponsibility that got us into this mess. Leading lemmings over the national debt cliff is simply not the answer.

DDC Comment:
This is President Obama and his closest advisors' hardball political play book..... Saul Alinsky founded what is known today as the Alinsky ideology and Alinsky concepts of mass organization for power.

Rules for Radicals: A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals

Indispensable since its first publication in 1971, this book continues to inform and inspire all those who believe that political engagement is the key to maintaining America's democratic tradition.

Annotation
This primers tells the "have-nots" how they can organize to achieve real political power for the practice of true democracy.

Biography

Saul Alinsky was born in Chicago in 1909 and educated first in the streets of that city and then in its university. Graduate work at the University of Chicago in criminology introduced him to the Al Capone gang, and later to Joliet State Prison, where he studied prison life. He founded what is known today as the Alinsky ideology and Alinsky concepts of mass organization for power. His work in organizing the poor to fight for their rights as citizens has been internationally recognized. In the late 1930s he organized the Back of the Yards area in Chicago (the neighborhood made famous in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle). Subsequently, through the Industrial Areas Foundation which he began in 1940, Mr. Alinsky and his staff helped to organize communities not only in Chicago but throughout the country. He later turned his attentions to the middle class, creating a training institute for organizers. He died in 1972.

Political power and greed vs the people - we lose
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder DDC
May 4, 2009

Sadly, when Jack Kemp passed away, a genuine original All American man of the people died with him. Indeed, the nine-term Congressman's legacy to us was being the architect of the Economic Recovery Act of 1981, known as the Kemp-Roth tax cut, Ronald Reagan's low tax supply-side economics, and a tireless proponent of reforming and simplifying the tax code.

In stark contrast, Senator Arlen Specter left the Republican Party for the Democratic Party to survive another election. As usual, the opportunistic lawyer-politician is working the system to retain his personal power regardless of his responsibility to country and the people who elected him.

Then there is Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, David Souter, who is prematurely stepping down from the bench because he is haunted by the highly partisan Bush v Gore decision appointing a president, and the nagging frustration over what the Court has become. However, it does smack of a disgruntled judge spitefully handing over the first Supreme Court nomination to the newly elected progressive-reformer, lawyer-President Barack Obama who will be delighted to stack the Court in his ideological direction, if he has the time and opportunity.

Alas, what is most disturbing to this member of We the People of the United States of America is the fact that our Constitution has been used, abused and ignored by the legal-political profession. With the exception of the criminal justice system, our society has been undermined by legal anarchy and overwhelmed by too many complicated laws, rules and regulations.

Surely, this is the underlying crisis we face, wherein the insidious power, greed, ambition and litigious tyranny of the few rule the many by fear, indoctrination and ignorance. Our freedom and democracy simply cannot continue to survive the rising tide of political party power struggles, reactionary government growth, judicial legislators, a chaos economy, insecurity and common nonsense. Common sense tells us it simply doesn't have to be that way.
