OK, let’s begin with the list. Oh, I forgot to mention, this is where you, my fellow Americans, have to fill in the list. This is an exercise in getting you to think hard about this and tell me how much more are you going to take before it’s too late. It may already be too late.
I think it was Milton Freidman who said “You can’t survive being a welfare state and having open borders.”
Here’s a great start...
FINANCIALLY DISARMED
WE HAVE BEEN FINANCIALLY DISARMED Trafalgar (for Atlas)
Much commentary on the trillion-plus “stimulus package” has noted its wastefulness and expansion of government power into every crevice of an individual citizen’s life. But no one has caught what should be blindingly obvious: We have unilaterally disarmed ourselves of the financial power to wage war. The cost of this bill surpasses the total outlay of the combined wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and will serve as the irrefutable excuse for Obama’s previously-expressed desire to de-weaponize our military. As the bill’s costs mount - in welfare payments, health expenses, union kickbacks and more - we will simply be unable to summon the financial strength to answer attacks on our country. Combine this with the soon-to-come ending of sanctions against Syria and Iran, and the nationalization of our banks which can then freely convert to sharia finance models, and the situation is clear: Less than a month into Obama’s presidency, the United States has already surrendered to radical Islam.

9/11/2008 CATASTROPHIC FINANCIAL TERRORIST ATTACK CAUSED ECONOMIC MELTDOWN
The recent bombshell that Rep. Kanjorski dropped gets bigger and bigger. Atlas reader Suzanne picked up on a mindblowing “detail” in my blog post: “RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT HUSSEIN: “A $550 Billion Electronic Run on the Banks”. Paul Kanjorski describes the closed door session of Congress where it was revealed that there was a $550 billion electronic run on the banks and that was what caused the economic crisis.
In the video, Kanjorski says this occurred on Thursday, September 15, 2008. September 15th was a MONDAY.
THURSDAY was .......SEPTEMBER 11, 2008
This was a Financial Terrorist Attack on the seventh anniversary of 9/11. Aren’t the American people entitled to know who was behind the run on the banks?
Why was this kept from the American people before the most important election in US history? And why did Obama treat it as an unimportant incident - accusing McCain of grandstanding when McCain left the campaign trail and flew to Washington? Remember what President Hussein said? “They’ll call me if they need me.”
FLASHBACK: “Call me if you need me”
When President Hussein was campaigning and the “economic crisis” hit, he did not think it pressing enough to leave the campaign trail, but now we should push through a trillion dollars in legislation without oversight because a few weeks later the King deems it urgent?
The financial crisis was deliberate, planned, staged. Who made the run? “Someone threw us in the middle of the Atlantic ocean without a life raft. We are trying to determine which is the closest shore and whether there is any chance in the world to swim that far. We don’t know.”
Electronic Run On Banks - $550 Billion Withdrawn In 1 Hour, Federal Reserve Halts Withdrawals - US Economy Would Have Collapsed Capitalism Gone Wild hat tip Cathy
Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania explains what former Treasury Secretary Paulson and Fed Chairman Bernanke told congress during the September 2008 closed door session. During the first third of the video an enraged caller is ranting to Rep. Kanjorski about how wasteful the first $700 billion bailout was. The best part is 2 minutes and 15 seconds into the tape where Rep. Kanjorski reveals what Paulson and Bernanke told congress that shocked them into supporting the first $700 billion bailout.
[...]
“Why did we do that? Look I was there when the Secretary and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve came those days to talk to members of Congress about what was going on. It was about September 15th. On Thursday (Thursday was September 11th] Here’s the facts and we don’t even talk about these things.
On Thursday [Thursday was September 11th] at about 11 o clock in the morning The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two. Money was being removed electronically.”
The Treasury tried to help, opened their window and pumped in $150 Billion but quickly realized they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. So they decided to closed down the accounts.
Had they not closed down the accounts they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon. Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawn and the entire economy of the United States would have collapsed, and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed.
Kanjorski also explains why Paulson spent the bailout money differently than he originally proposed.
Some other gems from the recording:
It would have been the end of our economic and political system.
We would have had to spend 3 to 4 Trillion dollars to buy up all the toxic assets. But we didn’t have that much we only had 700 Billion.
Without a banking system you don’t have an economy.
We are no better off now than we were three months ago.
Someone threw us in the middle of the Atlantic ocean without a life raft. We are trying to determine which is the closest shore and whether there is any chance in the world to swim that far. We don’t know.

Pass a new version of the Fairness Doctrine. The first step to destroying a county from within is to silence opposition.
Second, get every gun out of the citizen’s hands.
I would continue to vote the same idiots to Congress and the Presidency that we currently have. Then I would make sure that they lived very healthy and long lives. If something is working, why change it?
>If You Wanted To Intentionally Destroy This Country, What Would You Do?
Elect Obama and other politicians (”republican”, “Democrat”, it doesn’t matter as long as they are our politically-powerful Lords and Masters!!) [/cynic]
I was going to post a question earlier today to FR and ask how many fellow FReepers believe that Obama and the Dem’s plan is actually to finish this country off as we knew it so they can gain absolute power.
I’m more and more of this belief. I don’t believe these people are just misguided and think their ideas actually work to make things better. I always knew they wanted power, but I guess it never truly dawned on me to what end.
I thought they believed that socialism actually works. Over the last year or so, I’ve come to believe that they know it doesn’t work and that’s the point.
So I guess I’ll ask the question here:
Do you think the Dem politicians are trying to destroy this country to gain absolute control?
or
Do you think the Dem politicians are just misguided and believe that socialism really works?
or
Do you believe something entirely different?
Economically: control the free market with thousands of laws and regulations and use the Federal Reserve to jack with interest rates until the banks have run out of money to loan and cannot attract more (because the rates are too low). Declare that the “free market” and capitalism has failed and take over as much of the private sector as possible. Keep telling people that the government will be their savior.
Culturally: Start by indoctrinating the children to be obedient to the state and to believe that the Bible is a fairy tale. Teach them that an unborn baby is a “blob of tissue” and no more worthy of constitutional protection than a cancerous tumor. Teach them that all good things come from the government and that individualism is bad. Get as many people on welfare as possible by making it easy to obtain and qualify for. Punish the biggest producers with heavy taxes and then call them “greedy” for earning. Tell the people that their employers owe them more.
Militarily: Denigrate military service as for idiots and trailer trash. Pay them too little and then prosecute them for battlefield decisions. Promote generals and admirals based on party loyalty rather than ability.
I can’t add to the list; the current crew of Lords, ladies and assorted royalty in Versailles are doing an “excellent” job of destroying this country.
They need to be all locked up - either in jail or a home for the clinically insane.
That’s easy- do exactly what Obama and the Democrats are doing now and the left has done for decades. It is all so plain to see that this has been done by design- liking working right out of a play book. This is not an unfortunate fluke of ‘oh no, we elected the wrong guy and have to suffer a little for 4 years before we can go back.” No, this is the crowning achievement of the master plan- the end game. If this was a game of chess, I’d say we were in check. Not quite check mate, just yet. We only have one or two more moves before that, but it is looking pretty inevitable at this point, unless something drastic happens (or should I say, is done).
But to answer your first question alittle more specifically, I would say:
1.break the spirit of the people (done and in progress at a very rapid rate)
2.gain control over every aspect of people’s lives so that they are under total control of the state, and thus will never fight back lest they lose their livlihood, food, shelter, and medical care(the phase we are entering now with the ‘stimulus bill)
3. corrupt and control the police and military so that they will ultimately carry out the plans of those doing the destroying. I have a feeling of how compleste this phase is, but will refrain from comment since many are offended by the mere mention of this and consider it almost blasphemy to even think that this is possible. However, make no mistake that it is part of the plan and vital for success.
4. disarm the people (coming very soon)
Elect Obama.
Limit all education to the emotional and avoid any critical analysis (especially of history)!
I’d begin this in a state sponsored pre-school.
Then, close to the "Presidents' Day Holiday" Feb. 16th (occurring between the respective birthdays of Lincoln on Feb. 12 and Washington on Feb. 22nd) have a public display of images of the recently-"elected" Communist PRES[id]ENT jointly with images Lincoln (no Washington), so the First President Washington is effectively eclipsed and then removed. (I'm thinking about the "cupcake" display.)
Witness my tagline link.
They’ve been HARD AT IT at least since 1900 . . . very successfully . . .

I couldn’t imagine a better plan from hell than they’ve been successfully carrying out increasingly grandly and increasingly rapidly.
Now with OThuga the Super Destroyer at the helm, they’ll be speeding things up even more.

Compelling question: Was the $550B run on US banks on 9/11/09 done by a foreign entities? Mike Savage interviewed a person on air last Wednesday about this (sorry, I don’t recall his name). This person supposedly is in the know of what took place re this bank run and claimed that it was done by US citizens withdrawing funds in fear of the banks collapsing further. Given the 2 hour window of that run, how likely is that to occur? The people running our Gov (since most are lawyers) know “It’s not what we know, it’s what we can prove.” How can we take them to task given the structural divide that exists between gov and we the people? Our calls, our letters, our emails to them obviously mean nothing. A gov Of, By, and For the People was at one time a very noble concept but no longer exists in this country. Now what?
However if you mean complete and consummate destruction. Why not just lob a few ICBMs at Russia. Retaliation will follow in kind. Maybe repeatedly nuke the Yellowstone Caldera? Hopefully it blows.
Shut down all the sewer systems. If people can’t flush the crap away cities and towns become unlivable.
