Another inconvenient truth down the Obama Memory Hole
American Thinker ^ | 17 July, 2008 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 07/17/2008 7:25:15 PM PDT by wgflyer

The staggering implications of another embarrassing Obama statement would remain unexplored, with the public record obscured, were it not for a video clip of one of his speeches posted to the web and alert internet journalists. As first developed by World Net Daily's Joseph Farah, the story is about what the candidate said in Colorado Springs on July 2nd:

We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

Published transcripts of the speech in the Wall Street Journal and Denver Post did not include the remarks, which apparently were added to the prepared transcript.

Hitler had his brown shirted thugs, China had their Red Guards, Pol Pot used his gullible child population, Obama wants his "civilian national security force". Perhaps they are to take over the daily intimidations now handled by liberal lawyers and the ACLU legal community.

It was one of the most disgusting statements in the history of American Politics, and almost no one will ever hear it.

At least he knows what the majority of individuals in the military think and where their loyalties are. This is the most repulsive and frightening quote I have ever heard from a major party candidate. However, I am sure it was sincerely meant.

Yes, Obama intends to have a new police force patrolling our towns and cities, ensuring racial equality, equal opportunity, freedom of minority religions ( Muslims), banning of "hate speech" ( banning the publication of the truth about illegal alien demographic warfare for example)and a suspension of the Bill of Rights of the US constitution.

Obama is a leftist, black power nationalist who finds fascism all too intriquing.

Lets hope his plane doesn't get shot down over Afghanistan!

STASI:

The Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (Ministry for State Security), commonly known as the Stasi (abbreviation German: Staatssicherheit, literally State Security), was the official secret police of East Germany...It was widely regarded as one of the most effective and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies in the world.

The MfS motto was “Schild und Schwert der Partei” (Shield and Sword of the Party), showing its connections to the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED), the equivalent to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. (snip)

Obama wants to follow the bad example of Woodrow Wilson who created a large group of henchmen whose job it was to to wipe out dissent and jail dissenters. Wilson was our first RAT dictator, followed later by FDR. Liberal fascists are on the rise and Obama is the most dangerous yet.

Okay, I’m game. Stop restricting the 2nd amendment, allow all currently available military weapons. No income tax for 2nd amendment supporters and you have your “well funded militia” We from Texas will handle the troublemakers.......(sobama included)

He knows full well what he is saying - and I believe he either:

a: thinks WE are too stupid to know what he's saying or

b: He is so thoroughly indoctrinated in Marxism, he doesn't realize how horrendous it is...

He has shown an abysmal knowledge of the history of the US - doesn't even know how many states there are (remember, his formative/school years were in Jakarta and Hawaii) and he may well not know the dark sides of WW11, Hitler's Nazi Germany and Stalin's Communist Russia.

Without that knowledge, people can be indoctrinated - as the Germans were, as many in Russia were.

He's not proven himself to be a great independent thinker. Off the script, he's lost.

He's the perfect example of someone who can be easily programmed - and that's all he is: a Polished, Programmed Puppet...follow the strings to the puppet masters.

And who is going to pay for this Civilian National Security Force? He feels it should be well funded? Great.

With the nation’s economy going soft it’s just ducky he’s thinking of this sort of thing, because I’m sure he’s also thinking of raising taxes to pay for this project.

And if you don’t pay, they will have ways to make you pay.

He's already alluded to that.

He says this 'Force' should be as large as all our military together and as well funded. He has also said he intends to strip our military down - so there are the funds....

Couple this idea with his education policies which seem to move in the direction of a national school system replacing our local school boards and state education depts., and you have a scenario should frighten every American.

Four years ago America reelected Bush with 60 milion votes. Now it's on the verge of voting into office a man whose message borders on fascism minus its nationalist element.I'm reminded of Steve McQueen's last words in the Sand Pebbles, "What happened? What the hell happened?"

We must not let this statement slip into oblivion.

Is Hannity, Rush, ANYone covering it?

He was not supposed to say this out loud, as I understand? It was taken out of the script by his handlers - who knew it wouldn't be smart to let the cat out of the bag.

However, the obamination said it anyway - maybe because he's to ignorant to know the real ramifications - he probably hasn't a clue about his coming impotence, should he get elected. Should that dark day come, I believe he will have a rude awakening as his Puppet Masters pull his strings up real tight...and Heaven help us if that day comes.

I heard it today while driving. Hugh Hewitt's show, I think. It is going to get wide coverage, I think, in the politically incorrect world. The MSM will do their darndest to bury it.

Yet there will be FReepers who will *still* vote “third party” or sit out the election because of their “prinicples” or to “teach the GOP a lesson”.

I pray the rest of us and the USA survive that “object lesson”.

However, I don’t believe that we will.

If obomber wins, we’re done.

I can accept that he was mouthing the usual ultra-liberal "If we would only try to understand the rest of the world there would be peace. We need to put equal effort into a civilian effort to do that." But..

Why were the words omitted from the MSM and his web site?

Why wouldn't the MSM jump up and down cheering?

Within hours of 9/11/2001 the best and brightest Bee brains opined that the attacks were partly our fault because we don't try to "understand" the rest of the world. The Sacramento Bee should be leading the cheers for spending as much to "understand" the rest of the world as we spend to "bomb the rest of the world." Go figure.

Maybe BHO did mean a powerful secret police -- hmm, those millions of soon-to-be legal residents gotta work someplace -- and what a deal! They are not encumbered by all that constitutional and unalienable rights of citizens stuff. They could be very effective.

We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

This is the Liberal/Democrat/Socialist/Communist wet dream. They have been pursuing it for decades by trying to control all Law Enforcement organizations in the US. And though they have made significant progress in placing their fellow travelers as upper management of many Law Enforcement organizations, they just can't control those organizations as rigorously as they wish.

So now we see Phase II of their plan. Be very afraid.

Liberal/Democrat/Socialist/Communist traitors already have partial ideological control of Law Enforcement organizations. And they have significant control of the judicial system. If they gain complete control of both they will trample freedom in this country just as they eliminated truth from the press.

If the MARXISTS (fka Democrats) win, we will lose - our rights. I bet QueenNancy and KingHarry would love to get Rush and Sean for 'terrorism'.

as you said, some of us here will be staying home to 'TEACH the GOP' a lesson, but with the MARXISTs in power, we - us FReepers - might be charged with 'TERRORISM' - ESPECIALLY if they get the unfairness doctrine to shut off FR. If you don't believe me, you are in DREAMLAND!

With the MARXISTs in power - the Cuban Straits will be busy - with AMERICANS FLEEING to Cuba!

Ok, you crybaby FReepers. Help elect Obama!!

No tyrant can last without his own, cultivated and ultra loyal gendarmes. That Oblama wants such a force of his own to cultivate is illuminating.

After all, if he wins, we’ll have to ‘get our minds right’....or else.

He's already stated that he's always believed that the Second Amendment exists to protect the rights of individual citizens. What makes you think he's not telling the truth? He knows that's why the Second Amendment exists, and that's why he seeks to undermine it.
