Reflections From a Murky Pond

Capitulate to Obama’s will, whims, and desires or be destroyed, that seems to be the modus operandi for America’s First Black President and his Chicago-style regime. Do as he says, irrespective of laws, contracts, or your own best interests and responsibilities, or be destroyed by the regime and/or its propaganda corps.

A leading bankruptcy attorney representing hedge funds and money managers told ABC News Saturday that Steve Rattner, the leader of the Obama administration’s Auto Industry Task Force, threatened one of the firms, an investment bank, that if it continued to oppose the administration’s Chrysler bankruptcy plan, the White House would use the White House press corps to destroy its reputation.

ABC News – Political Punch

The White House, in the person of White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton, denied the claim that President Obama’s Auto Industry Task Force threatened to use the Press Corps to destroy the reputation of Perella Weinberg Partners LP.

Right; they deny the charge, but does anyone with any sense or with love for America believe them? This is exactly the same strong-arm tactic of intimidation that they’ve used before.

Their denial falls flat in the face of the truth, as can be seen by President Obama’s own words on Thursday, April 30, 2009, when Obama revealed his plan for Chrysler.

While many stakeholders made sacrifices and worked constructively, I have to tell you some did not. In particular, a group of investment firms and hedge funds decided to hold out for the prospect of an unjustified taxpayer-funded bailout. They were hoping that everybody else would make sacrifices, and they would have to make none. Some demanded twice the return that other lenders were getting. I don’t stand with them.

Remarks By The President On The Auto Industry

Those stakeholders who “made sacrifices and worked constructively” are: JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs. Together they are owed approximately 70% of Chrysler’s debt and had already agreed to participate with the administration’s plan, which comes as no surprise to anyone who’s been following politics and the US economy. All four financial institutions are recipients of up to $100 billion each in federal government bailout funds (TARP) and they’ve all seen what happened to AIG and its employees.

While Obama’s not a Muslim – it’s doubtful he accept any authority greater than himself – he follows a twisted variation of their principles. To him, there are only Dar al-Obama and Dar al-Harb.

According to Thomas Lauria, Global Practice Head of the Financial Restructuring and Insolvency Group at White & Case, the boutique investment bank Perella Weinberg Partners were willing to take 50 cents on the dollar from Chrysler for their debt – which, it should be noted, is similar to what they would receive under an interfered with bankruptcy proceeding.

That’s apparently not good enough for Obama and his cabal though; they demand absolute submission to their will and are more than willing to use any means at their disposal to punish and, if needs be, destroy their opposition and silence any dissent.

Obama and his Liberal coterie will probably get away with it too, which is an atrocity and a crime against America in and of itself. They’ve made good use of the Race Card and have – with the eager collusion of the MSM –  done a masterful job of fomenting Class Warfare in America.  This has and will continue to allow them to attack and destroy any financial institutions or other large corporations in America with near impunity.

This means that  President Obama has an easy time painting firms like AIG , Perella Weinberg Partners, and others as greedy, divisive, and contrarian. After all, they’re  just a bunch of “evil, old, rich, White men.” The dark heart of Obama’s constituency has long desired to see them destroyed and their wealth redistributed.

… And of course any dissent with his agenda will be decried as Racist.

New York’s unelected Governor, David Paterson, is in a bit of hot water, or he will be if this story gets the media attention that it deserves. It seems that he’s cost the New York taxpayers an unexpected $300K because of his racism and explicit and overt racial discrimination.

Because of Paterson’s racism the state of New York has had to spend &300K to “secretly” settle an embarrassing federal racial-discrimination lawsuit stemming from Paterson’s firing of a White photographer in order to hire a Black one.

So far, as of this this posting at least, this is getting only local attention, and that even that is minimal, but the New York Post is running the story. I’m unsure, given the color of the times, if it will be picked up by other outlets or not.

The state has secretly settled an embarrassing federal racial-discrimination lawsuit, The Post has learned. The suit accused Paterson, back when he was Senate minority leader in 2003, of firing a white Senate photographer in order to replace him with an African-American.

The settlement ends a civil-rights action first filed in 2005 by Joseph Maioriello, 56, of Schenectady, a 26-year Senate employee who originally sought $1.5 million.

He was fired from his $34,000-a-year job as a photographer two years earlier and replaced by a black employee, El-Wise Noisette. The shakeup happened after Paterson ousted then-Sen. Martin Connor (D-Brooklyn) as the minority leader.

~*~

In the lawsuit, Maioriello claimed he was told by John McPadden, then Paterson’s chief of staff, that he was being fired because a number of minority senators wanted to replace him with “a minority photographer, a black photographer.”

He said he was also told, “You got to remember who Sen. Paterson is. Sen. Paterson is black.”

Governor Paterson’s disrespectful and flippant response – with more than a touch of the “Cripple Card” – was to claim that he didn’t see well enough to have fired Maioriello because of his race.

As reported by the Daily News, the firing of Joseph Maioriello was not an isolated incident. It was part of a concerted effort on the part of the Democrats to purge Whites from State Senate offices.

The suit was filed after the federal Equal Opportunity Employment Commission ruled that “there is reason to believe that [civil rights] violations have occurred” in the case.

The agency found a possible pattern of discrimination, noting that the Democrats in the Republican-controlled state Senate also fired a white graphic artist and replaced her with a Hispanic after Paterson took the leadership post.

Paterson served as Senate minority party leader from 2002 until 2006. It seems that, under Paterson the Blacks in the New York Senate added a new and darker meaning to his position as “Minority Leader.”

Fortunately for the rest of us Mr. Maioriello was brave enough and perseverant enough to fight the up-hill struggle that any White man must fight when filing a charge of racial discrimination against a Black. While I wish he’d refused the settlement and had forced Paterson and his “posse” to go to federal court in Syracuse, I can understand his need to take the settlement and get on with his life.

With the announcement of Justice Souter’s retirement, President Obama will have his first chance to affect the makeup of the US Supreme Court. This is the most long lasting impact that any sitting POTUS can have on the United States of America during the course of normal events. Effectively appointed for lifetime terms, SCOTUS judges’ rulings and power normally last far longer than that of the Presidents who appoint them or the Congresses that approve them.

So what are President Obama’s criteria for his selection of his first SCOTUS appointee? Experience? President Obama – or his teleprompter – has already told America what his criteria are for anyone he appoints as a US Supreme Court Justice:

We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that’s the criteria by which I’m going to be selecting my judges.

— Sen. Barack Obama
Washington D.C. Planned Parenthood Conference, July, 2007

So Obama’s dream SCOTUS judge would be a crippled old Black woman who had been an unwed teen or pre-teen mother – baby mama – before deciding that she was a lesbian, preferable one who got into college and then law school based upon some racialist scholarship and affirmative action subsidy.

Pretty standard 1st Tier criteria for the US Postal Service and many local fire departments, but not so good for the highest court in the land –  if that land is still to be America.

An American President would desire – and base his choice of appointee upon – a US Supreme Court Justice that had a firm understanding of US Law, the scope and limits of the roles of the three branches of government, and most importantly the US Constitution.  But Obama is a Liberal President and they have far different ideas and goals.

Of course this is absolutely no shock whatsoever; every American knew that Obama was far, far more interested in furthering “judicial activism” than in preserving American law. Remember this is the man who said aloud that the Warren Court, with all of its violation of the Separation of Powers and the 10th Amendment, didn’t go far enough when it came to Blacks and the Civil Rights laws.

A 2001 radio interview of Barack Obama surfaced yesterday in which he said that “one of the tragedies of the Civil Rights movement,” and one of the limitations of the Warren Supreme Court, was that although they won such formal rights as the right to vote and “sit at the lunch counter and order,” they “never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth.”

While Americans were expecting this, it’s still a sad thing to see happen to this once great land. At least it came quickly which is something of a mercy since it eliminates the vain hope that we might somehow have avoided the compromising and corruption of the 3rd and final branch of the US government. As of this posting we’re 102 days into the Long Night and counting as, one by one, the lights of America go dark.

What would happen if someone gathered together a list of queers and those who support faggotry in America and posted their personal information on the internet? Would various criminal charges – including federal “Hate Crimes” charges, and lawsuits be filed? Would there be huge amounts of outcry from coast to coast? Would whoever did so be accused of hunting down queers? You damn well better believe it.

If someone gathered together the names, addresses and signatures of tens of thousands of queers and those who support the legislated acceptance of their chosen lifestyle and made such information public the storm of litigation and outrage such an act would raise would be overwhelming. But apparently it’s perfectly OK for faggots to do that very thing to Americans who do not vote in favor of pro-queer legislation or who initiate legislation that queers don’t like.

A group of queers calling themselves KnowThyNeighbor.org didn’t like the fact that Americans in Arkansas initiated and got approved a 2008 ballot resolution – the Unmarried Couple Adoption Ban (Act 1) – that made it illegal for any individuals – irrespective of sexual preferences – cohabiting outside of a valid marriage to adopt or provide foster care to minors.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS:

Section 1: Adoption and foster care of minors.

(a) A minor may not be adopted or placed in a foster home if the individual seeking to adopt or to serve as a foster parent is cohabiting with a sexual partner outside of a marriage which is valid under the constitution and laws of this state.

(b) The prohibition of this section applies equally to cohabiting opposite-sex and same-sex individuals.

Section 2: Guardianship of minors.
This act will not affect the guardianship of minors.

Section 3: Definition.
As used in this act, “minor” means an individual under the age of eighteen (18) years.

Section 4: Public policy.
The public policy of the state is to favor marriage, as defined by the constitution and laws of this state, over unmarried cohabitation with regard to adoption and foster care.

Section 5: Finding and declaration.
The people of Arkansas find and declare that it is in the best interest of children in need of adoption or foster care to be reared in homes in which adoptive or foster parents are not cohabiting outside of marriage.

Section 6: Regulations:
The Director of the Department of Human Services, or the successor agency or agencies responsible for adoption and foster care, shall promulgate regulations consistent with this act.

Section 7: Prospective application and effective date.
This act applies prospectively beginning on January 1, 2009.

So the very angry faggots at KnowThyNeighbor got copies of the original petition that initiated the Arkansas ballot initiative and entered all the information – including reasonable quality scanned images of the Americans’ signatures – of the approximately 83,000 Americans who signed it into a searchable database and posted it on their site.

The only two purposes for such an act are to intimidate Americans into never speaking out against anything that the queers want to do, and to facilitate reprisals against the persons and property of the Americans who exercised their constitutional right to initiate legislation. As we have seen in post Prop 8 California, such reprisals are likely to happen and are likely to include instances of violence against both people and their property.

Suddenly the hype about the “gay agenda” and what queers will do to further it doesn’t seem quite so far-fetched anymore, does it? Maybe the AFA wasn’t as wrong as many of us wanted to believe.

Would anyone care to hazard a guess about what would happen to anyone who made a similar database of the names, addresses, and signatures of the queers and their supporters who signed any of the petitions that started the various Gay Marriage laws? But then hunting down queers is wrong, whereas doing the same to heterosexuals is “activism.”
