MARK LEVIN: We are witnessing a gradual, quiet COUP!

Posted on Jan 14, 2014 at 6:57 PM

Mark Levin opened his show today livid over Obama’s announcement that he will ignore the legislature and use his pen to write executive orders. He says the separation of powers are the key to our Republic and yet today Obama just announced that he would assume lawmaking powers via executive orders.

Mark Levin says what’s going on here is that we are witnessing a gradual, quiet coup:

He’s just announced that he is going to assume lawmaking powers. He does not recognize the majority in the House of Representatives. I don’t know how much more clearly he can say it. You know what this is folks? This is a gradual, quiet coup. That’s what is taking place. It’s gradual. It’s quiet, in the sense that it’s non-violent. But it’s a coup!

There is, quickly, coming a time for the statists, corporatists, and political elitists to go the way of the Romanovs.

Those who deposed and murdered the Romanovs actually were funded and backed by global financial elites, i.e., international banking, a.k.a. new world order.

The financial elites want to control and run nations; national leaders who refuse to submit to them are marked for removal, which may come quickly or decades or longer in the future.

The head of world communism has always been the uppermost financial elite circles in the UK, and additionally the US and Europe. Those uppermost elite circles do all the real planning for the world. Wall Street firms (elites) were the financiers behind the "Bolshevik Revolution", basically run out of 120 Broadway, NYC. It's a nice building; I used to work there but had no idea of its true but historical significance at the time, which has been whitewashed out of history.

Well Levin is right. Millions of Americans have already figured this out which is why gun sales are through the roof. This country is a tinder box. One spark is all its going to take.

"If one eliminates the wealth constraint, however, the intersection of the latter two sets is quite a bit larger. Hence the idea of people "growing" their wealth, i.e., people who may well have what it takes to do the right thing but just are not wealthy. Would 100 people with a net worth of 1 million have more or less influence than 1 person with a net worth of 100 million..."

Which is likely why we have a proliferation of government edicts designed to attack the middle class and redistribute wealth to the lower class and the already wealthy.


Exactly, that's the battlefront in the war: on the one side elites on the other side everyone else.

But the elites set up operations that profess to battle against the elites, and these operations have perhaps 20% of the population working for them, completely fooled. Also, the elites have control of news and entertainment media, capital markets, education, unions, charities and government. In their top-down hierarchies, those spheres all report up to the elites, with lower-level entities taking their cues from higher-level ones. Most of the people at the lower levels have no idea who is really calling the shots.

The elites' desire is simple: retain their power and influence hierarchy with them at the top. In order to do this, they keep their wealth and power concentrated, notably by marriage, mentoring and controlling the creation of laws, just as the old banking families always did.

A significantly wealthy person who rejects their plans and wants to go in a different direction is much more of a problem for them than a thousand grumpy poor people. The wealthy person could start their own competing cartel, i.e., influencing politicians, building their own schools, etc. Most of them, as riri pointed out, are approached with "honey" as opposed to "vinegar", and simply welcomed into the elites' capital markets "world", to which they happily saunter off. It's not their fault, really, because, of course, they are unaware of new world order. Not surprising when we consider that almost everyone working IN the elites' hierarchical institutions is not aware !

It's such a significant conspiracy that one's mind tends to just shut off and dismiss it. It's that "out there".

Too stay focused, it's helpful, IMHO, to remember a few straightforward situations that just don't make sense in terms of what our historians tell us, like: two Warburg brothers as key negotiaters after WWI, but on both sides of the negotiations. Just doesn't add up, especially that this obvious potential conflict of interest is whitewashed from history. Things like the reappearance of the same Presidential advisors - for decades, across many administrations. It's obviously a potential for outside influence, once again, whitewashed from history.

Of course, prior to having much influence on laws, one has to work within the current framework. That means instead of investing in businesses where you have no seat on the board of directors, investing ONLY in privately-held businesses where you do have a seat on the board, or at least are best buddies with someone on the board - and those businesses avoid implementing new world order agendas. Of course, one has to be able to identify these agendas.

If one is not wealthy, job one is to get wealthy. This does not involve a get rich quick scheme, but a methodical approach where one abandons what has not worked and opens ones mind to come up with approaches that will work, even if without grandiosity.

It is everyone's job to get new "converts", i.e., raise awareness. Especially with anyone you come into contact with who is wealthy. Or nearly wealthy. But everyone, because they will speak with other people.

Every person who is wealthy can "grow" others into wealthy supporters by mentoring, investing, etc.

The first step is to admit we have a problem. Then become aware of what the problem is. Only then can we address the problem.

Ego plays into it too. Look at Gates. I doubt he has any real skeletons. (but who knows, he is creepy). You can see the megalomania dripping from the corners of his mouth when he speaks. He relishes the idea of "offing" a good chunk of the population with his vaccines. He's got a certain God complex.

At the end of the day that is what this is all about. Average Joe's cant understand the desire or need for this kind of power. They don't understand the ends. A technocratic elite who control a much less populated earth who can, though technology, achieve immortality. If you are ruled by ego and Godless, that is a tough one to walk away from. The promise of immortality.

“The wealthier you can get the more influence you will have.

Patriots need to increase their wealth and put it to work to further their agenda.”


The U.S. Declaration of Independence states that “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government”

WHY we aren’t doing so, leads me to believe that my country fellowmen/women have been subdued to the point they have no fight left in them and thus, would rather have their lives dictated to them, instead of remaining FREE....as our Lord has made us to be.

Increasing one’s wealth in order to thwart an opposing agenda, is no different than trying to put out a fire, with fire. It’s really no surprise, or doubt that this is exactly what has gotten us the country we have today. And now, with, and by the usurper’s proclamation that he shall forego the law of the land and do what HE feels like doing....what kind of “money” do you think is going to thwart that? If you want to win a war...you must KNOW who your enemy is. You must THINK like the enemy, and know the full desire of his heart so that you may expose his weakness...which is HE, himself.

We should be crying out to God for His Mercy, and for Him to lift His hand of Judgement from us, therefore making way for us to defeat the enemy. We cannot overcome our adversary OTHERWISE. I pray that my fellow countrymen/women extend themselves to do this. To rebuke the ‘chains’ we have been bound by through our inaction, and come together, KNOWING, that through Honor, Integrity, Duty, and Compassion can we salvage what’s been damaged. And more importantly, the “will” to restore our nation while we still have one. I’d like to believe, that there IS such a force available within us. UNITED.

Shall we?....my fellow countrymen and women?

The time is NOW.

Post #1...what can we even do?Hammer your those you voted for, especially in your state....don't let up...get others to hammer also. Obama is not only destroying our Constitution he is behaving criminally and that warrants your congressmen and senators using all available rules to stop the man. Obama and Holder are true Racists and they are using that card for all it is worth.

"If you have something proving the states can lawfully secede, I would love to see it. I will move to the first state that secedes in a heartbeat."

------------------------->

I need to read up on the history on the nation states of Italy. If US states could turn their backs on federal rule, secede and declare independence, would any states or conglomerate of states hold up against the federal juggernaut?

Texas could probably secede by itself but would be stronger as a coalition of states like with a southern border states coalition since border states have unique issues of border problems.

Would something like that even work? States throwing off tyranny and going non-federal?

Or, after this silent coup, would the federal "pen and phone" crush any resistance? I feel like the underground/resistance in the Star Wars movies....

I concur.

IMHO...

There are two kinds of “self-made” billionaires, those who fear their own financial failure and those who are not bothered by the idea.

Some people are inventive by nature; they come up with dozens of good business ideas, inventions, creative works, etc., every year, if not over a hundred.

Other folks happened across one good idea (or bought it, stole it, or otherwise “acquired” it) and they ride that idea all the way to the top, financially. They need to control their employees, lawyers, financiers, etc., to avoid being pushed out of their own company (humiliating), and constantly, warily avoid that single key mistep that would let a competitor overtake them (also humiliating).

Some folks aren’t the “idea” type, they’re the business manager/owner type; put them on a deserted island with a lifeboat full of castaways and they’ll be running a business within a few weeks.

The greatest nightmare for a monopolist is some new “thing” coming along, redefining the whole marketplace, and making their monopoly obsolete. The ensuing financial fall from high to low for the “flagship” company, even if they had other investments and were financially in fine shape, would be a public demonstration that they were “not so smart as they thought they were”.

Non-monopolist billionaires don’t have this worry, since there business is only one amongst a herd of others. Senator Frank Lautenberg became Chairman and CEO of ADP, the payroll giant, in 1952. But no matter it’s size and visibility, it’s core was just a humdrum payroll service, and even today it only processes about a third of all W-2’s. Lautenberg’s job, IMHO, was not such a pressure-cooker as trying to maintain a monopoly on the personal computing device operating system market. The phone and tablet markets nowadays certainly must be a burr in the saddle for MS.

In terms of ego - since Gates started out by self-identifying himself as a “genius” - he is forced to maintain that image or open himself up to challenges to his leadership. Thus we see the notorious berating of even high-level management. There was a classic 60 minutes episode where he repeatedly asked an M$ executive “do you know what 5 minutes means”, treating them like a clerk.

What’s essential for the board and management of publicly-traded companies is their relationship with Wall Street, which holds the keys to their survival, how they are viewed by the business and investing community. Can they get debt financing ? Equity financing ? Did some analyst write a nasty report on them ? Are they winning or losing customers due to the “talk around town” or a well-financed competitor ? Are they a takeover target ? What stories is the business news media running about them ? Just a sample of the long list of ways Wall Street controls large businesses, especially publicly-held ones.

Every event the “Gates’s” of the world go to in Aspen, all their foundation friends, all the other CEO’s and consultants “in-the-know” from the mega-philanthropies, world government organizations, etc., they all lay out for him what the agenda is and what standard tactics are “encouraged” for businesses like his, along with nice conferences where they all brainstorm on specific projects each of them can embark on that fit in with the “direction the world is moving in”.

The only defense for the average Joe is to go into business for himself and get wealthy, but steer clear of debt and market directly to individuals and independent “average Joe” businesses.

No. For the most part States, counties, and munipalities all borrow. They float their bonds in the bond market that is controlled by Wall Street. They are in debt up to their eyeballs to Wall Street - which manages all the pensions and 401k accounts of ALL Americans, provides mortgages for them, roads, schools, food stores, etc. It's a big business empire that can only be torn apart if those at its apex decide they want it torn apart. They'd have to decide how to tear it apart, i.e., who to extend credit to and how much. Does Ft. Hood get food trucks to supply it with food, does NJ get money to pay its pensions, etc.

Banking has such a hold over the government that Hank Paulson, an ex-CEO of Goldman Sachs, could be appointed Secretary of the Treasury, and walk in to the President's office and tell him he needs a check for $700 billion dollars to bail out the banking system, and just about that quickly the President agrees.

Have you ever heard of a concept called "supply chain" ? Grocery stores nowadays keep very low inventories on hand and receive trucks on a daily basis to restock.

Americans in the time of the revolutions mostly lived on farms in a very simple economy relative to today, and thus were far less reliant on stores for food and supplies. The men could more realistically pack up and go fight and have some chance that their family would have survived and their farm would still be there if they came back, though that was frequently not the case.

Today most people live hand-to-mouth. They can not go more than a few weeks or perhaps months without needing a paycheck, and they have bills to pay monthly. In order to not be fired, they must show up to work and conform to company policies. If they own their home they would most certainly lose it in a "revolution" type scenario. Government benefits would doubtless not go to any poor who had been "revolutionaries" unless they completely gave up their arms and basically dignity.

These realities are why an armed revolution or war of any kind on American soil, or really in all developed countries, would be so extremely painful, and participation would be so low, as to render it practically impossible.

What most people don't seem to want to admit is that having wealth gives one choices. Wealthy people do not have to show up to work unless they choose to. Wealthy people have most of the political influence. The real "revolution" would be to not vote for a Congressman, but get one of your own elected. That takes money, grassroots organizing, etc. Similar spreading of the Gospel is also what's needed. A moral, intelligent, hardworking population would be more receptive to moral leadership than an immoral, stupid, lazy population.

But committing to trying to gain wealth and influence means having to work, plan and sacrifice, and run the risk of not succeeding very much, which would be embarrassing, so a lot of folks prefer to harbor hope for a mythical "revolution" rather than knuckle down and get to the business of taking their country back.

Boehner in perfect position to have his ass kicked out of “leadership position” or whatever he is doing whilst he is supposed to be the loyal opposition. He is as much a problem with his fecklessness than just about anyone else.

He needs to be replaced ASAP.

Are there any reps. who could do the right job or is Boehner, in this office of leadership, just as cog in Obama's Plan?

"Maintaining that separation will require taking up arms. Once a State declares it's independence, the Federal Government will send in troops. There will be blood."

---------------------------------> Good point, P-Marlowe. We will have to toughen up to repel the opposition - the people bringing about the coup.

Will there be blood?

Hopefully not.

We need s.t.r.o.n.g leadership on the national level and s.t.r.o.n.g leadership on the grassroots level.

Strong leadership is essential to pushing back the coup and restoring America to its glory days - the type of days Reagan envisioned. The days the Founders and Fathers set America on its course.

Maybe if we make enough fun of them they will go away! Laugh at every progressive person or display of progressive ideology. /s

I know, but a hummingbird has hope. Left has Che shirts. What kind of shirts can we have in great numbers:

T-shirt: "ARTICLE 5" - shirt to be simple or a little embellished.

Think I'll get one made for myself. Will either go a little fancy with a backdrop of Constitution in background or simple with just ARTICLE 5. Wonder if ARTICLE 5 tee shirt will put me on subversive list....as we aren't really free to express ourselves without being shouted down or threatened by progressives.

Threat is the "pen and the phone". Hussein, Jarrett and fellow travelers are dead serious in the destruction of America - as it was founded.

Maybe everyone can make the shirt in their own style regarding Article 5 - that might make the progressives' head's explode.

They wouldn't know if they were dealing with one group of patriots or several groups of patriots with so many different styles of shirts.

B. Hussein O., Jarrett and fellow travelers are dead serious in the destruction of America - as it was founded.
