Fozzie Bear Fascism: Obama Launches War on "Extremists"


As Chicago Mayor and former Democrat power broker Rahm Emanuel famously put it “never let a serious crisis go to waste” and Emperor Obama gets it. With the Charlie Hebdo murders in Paris, a mysterious (and probably bogus) alleged ISIS hijacking of CENTCOM social media and the hysteria in the aftermath of the to this day unproven North Korean involvement in the Sony hacking a crackdown is coming. Barack Obama is about to give birth to the war on “extremism”, the definition of which is so vague so as to potentially include political foes, activist groups, bloggers, independent writers and of course any who refuse to worship at the altar of absolute government power. Keep in mind that Obama has already used the Internal Revenue Service to go after Tea Party affiliated political opposition groups and the police state to do crush the the Occupy movement.

Dear Leader will be hosting a “global security summit” next month in Washington that will attract world leaders including the Brits’ David Cameron whose increasingly strident rhetoric brings to mind that of Norsefire party Chancellor Adam Sutler from the movie “V For Vendetta”. Cameron shocked Brits when he advocated for the banning of encryption so that the U.K. security services and spooks will be able to monitor everything. Don’t be surprised if Obama and his NSA Stasi and their allies soon go after internet encryption in the U.S.A. too, the Holy Grail of the surveillance state has been the cracking of encrypted communications. Soon, if Obama is able to close the deal in selling the Fourth Amendment destroying cybersecurity bill to the people it will put us on a path to a society where as Orwell once wrote: "Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull".

Obama will be warming up this week for his State of the Union Address during which he will lie like a rug in pushing the new cybersecurity bill to the sheeple and it will be wrapped in the benign guise of protecting corporations. The corporations – which have armies of lobbyists and influence who gets campaign funding – will be given the green light to share EVERYTHING about you with the government. This is a very bad deal for the American people in that at least theoretically the government is supposed to have some degree of accountability while transnational corporations don’t. The kicker is that the legislation will provide total immunity to those corporations in regards to the data that is harvested and given to a fascist state that grows exponentially more powerful with every “terrorist” attack or hacking.

Libertarian financial blog has a good piece that takes a look at the implications of what Obama and his lackeys in Congress are prepared to foist off on a gullible public entitled “Obama Declares War On "Extremism" – Are You An "Extremist"?" from which I excerpt the following:

Do you know what an “extremist” is?  In the wake of the horrible terror attacks on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in France, Barack Obama is speaking very boldly about the need to win the war against “extremists”, and he has announced plans to host a major global summit on “extremism” next month.  And on the surface that sounds great.  But precisely how are we supposed to determine whether someone is an “extremist” or not?  What criteria should we use?

As you will see below, your definition of an “extremist” may be far, far different from the definition that Barack Obama is using.  When you do a Google search, you will find that an “extremist” is defined as “a person who holds extreme or fanatical political or religious views, especially one who resorts to or advocates extreme action.”  According to Wikipedia, “extremism” is “an ideology (particularly in politics or religion), considered to be far outside the mainstream attitudes of a society or to violate common moral standards.  

Extremism can take many forms, including political, religious and economic.”  Please notice that neither of those definitions uses the word violence.  In this day and age, you can be considered an “extremist” simply based on what you believe, and as you will see later in this article there are now tens of millions of Americans that are considered to be “extremists” and “potential terrorists” according to official U.S. government documents.

When you use the word “extremist”, you may have in your mind a picture of ISIS fighters or the terrorists from the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

But for elitists such as Barack Obama, the word “extremist” has a much broader meaning.  In recent years, it has become a code word for those that do not have an “enlightened” view of the world.  If your views on politics, religion or social issues are extremely different from the liberal, progressive views of “the mainstream” (as defined by the mainstream media and by “mainstream” politicians such as Barack Obama), then they consider you to be an extremist.

The writer of the piece, Michael Snyder who runs the blog Economic Collapse also has a list of who may end up on the “extremist” list and here is a very brief sampling:

Those who are anti-global, may believe in "conspiracy theories", are advocates of "states rights", opponents of illegal immigration, anti-abortion activists, those that have a negative view of the United Nations, returning veterans, those who are suspicious of centralized federal authority, people who have the wrong bumper stickers, those frustrated with "mainstream ideologies, those who are "anti-Muslim", gun rights activists, certain types of Christians and anyone that "visits extremist websites/blogs.

Chances are that many of us fit into at least one of those categories and will soon be subject to increased scrutiny by the feds for simply having beliefs that run counter to those who have usurped the U.S. Constitution and succeeded in bastardizing democracy. Not only will those who are deemed to have "extremist" views be in that big government database but once Obama and his ilk execute their deal with the devil in giving legal immunity to corporations "extremists" could be effectively blackballed in the labor market as well. It will give the government the added tool of waging economic warfare on all who question it under the cover of outsourcing the dirty work to corporations.

These are truly perilous times in which we live thanks to the moral degradation of our "leadership" class, it's just too bad that so many Americans have no clue of how rapidly that the trap is closing.

White House Petitioned to Declare Police Watchdog as Terrorist Group


The ongoing disintegration of what was once a free country into an authoritarian fascist police state under the helm of El Presidente Barack Obama is now evolving. With Barry exercising the divine right of a king in launching yet another war in the Middle East - without the approval of Congress - the forces of government must be free to operate with total impunity in The Homeland. The war on terror which is now well into its second decade has served to restrict civil liberties, enable a criminal government, justify the expansion of a massive surveillance state and transform a good number of our law enforcement personnel into thugs.

Now I am going to be right up front with my standard disclaimer that not all cops are bad. The vast majority are good people tasked with doing a dangerous and thankless job. But there are increasingly more exceptions in the post 9/11 era. The federal government bears a large brunt of the responsibility for encouraging the locals to militarize through the 1033 Program as well the exertion of fed influence through the proliferation of fusion centers.

With the increase in police brutality and misbehavior there has been a corresponding rise in citizens who are fighting back by telling their stories. This certainly doesn't make the government bullies with the badges happy. The logical conclusion to all of the government repression is that political dissent is going to eventually be criminalized. You can already see the early signs. Take for example the Obama regime's use of the IRS to go after groups affiliated with the so-called tea party or the heavy handed crackdown against the Occupy movement. The way that America is headed is best illustrated in the Ridley Scott science fiction classic Blade Runner.

In an early scene, police Captain Bryant makes the retired cop Deckard (played by Harrison Ford), an offer he can’t refuse in order to lure him back into the fold. Deckard appears to ponder it, tosses off the shot of whiskey that he had been poured and gets up. As he turns to leave, stating that he has had enough, Bryant angrily raises his voice barking “Stop right where you are! You know the score, pal! If you’re not cop you’re little people”. Understanding the gravity of Bryant’s words Deckard warily accepts his return to active duty as a replicant killer for one last job. It has come down to a few very basic but pitch black truths in our militarized fascist police state of the post 9/11 ruins of democracy. There are stark dividing lines between that haves and the have nots, there are elitists and peasants, victors and victims, vampires and cattle and cops and little people.

This mentality is evident in a scary story that police watchdog group, Cop Block at copblock.org is being subjected to a petition drive imploring the government to label it as a "terrorist" organization. According to the website Police State USA in a story entitled "Thousands petition White House to consider ‘Cop Block’ a terrorist group":

This week, anti-accountability agents have created an online White House petition to ask President Obama to “Officially label and classify any variation of ‘CopBlock.Org’ members as Domestic Terrorists with DHS.”

The petition alleges that Cop Block — a group which has evolved into a national grassroots network of activists — is “applauding and encouraging violence towards law enforcement officers and their families” as well as “committing terroristic acts by inspiring, inciting, or taking parts in acts that are designed to take human lives in cold blood for political gain.”

The majority of Cop Block affiliates’ tactics involve recording public servants while on duty and bringing awareness to various abuses committed by police around the country. While perceived as annoying to law enforcers, this author knows of no evidence to support the serious claims that Cop Block supports terroristic acts. The petition provides no examples of said behavior.

The petition might be brushed aside as a stunt, but as of this writing (9/22/2014), it has over received over 2,500 signatures. It has also been promoted by several large police advocacy pages, including Law Enforcement Today, which boasts 360,000 fans on Facebook. Its followers include a plethora of official police department pages.

This appears to be an effort to both encourage the federal government to suppress free speech and to demonize activism through baseless accusation.

Were it not for organizations like Cop Block and others there would not have been the appropriate attention paid to this scumbag, or this one, or this one, or this beating, or this dog shooting, or this incident. Groups like this perform a valuable service in shining a light on those cops who have managed to circumvent screening procedures to abuse their power. This not only is a menace to civil society and the traditional duty of the police "to protect and to serve", but such individuals who use their badges as shields to prey on the society only discredit the millions of good cops who are out there laying it on the line every day.

Once the federal government, particularly the tyrannical Obama regime is able to begin to successfully make it fully acceptable to label opponents of the state as "terrorists" there will be no end to it. 

This should serve as a wake up call to everyone who values the last vestiges of liberty.
