It's amazing how so many Americans are willing to have the wool pulled over their eyes - and held in place - by the Obama administration. How else do you explain his re-election, and lots of other things?
However, he may have acted in haste to attempt to consummate his major second-term goal of assuming almost dictatorial-like control over an America that he appears to want to financially ruin.
There's striking evidence to show that just last week, he made a tactical mistake or he may have been acting out of inevitable hubris. His attempt to grasp more power is triggering alarms even in the vast numbers of the U.S. population that Rush Limbaugh refers to as uninformed voters.
Why is Obama so eager to push this great nation even further in the wrong direction? Today, even concepts long thought to be isolated to "nutcases" like us at Real Money USA are becoming the subject of mainstream concerns.
The evidence comes in the form of how the American public is reacting to Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster last week on the drones issue and how online readers are flocking to a new posting on Forbes.com that raises questions about the 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition that are being stockpiled by the Department of Homeland Security.
At I write this, more than half-a-million people have clicked on an op-ed piece on Forbes.com written by Ralph Benko. In this article, he raises numerous questions about why Homeland Security finds it necessary to purchase enough ammo to sustain a battle as big as the Iraq problem for a period as long as 20 years. Why has the department in charge of internal security found it necessary to order more than 2,700 retrofitted MRAP automobiles--vehicles that were initially used as mine-resistant leviathans in the service of the U.S. armed force in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"It's time for a national conversation," shouts the headline on the post. It's a good idea, and the discussion should begin with a question that Benko himself does not get around to asking: Where in the "national theater" could Homeland potentially be intending to use such arsenal?
One of the things that Senator Paul's filibuster raised in the U.S. Senate last week was to highlight his issues about the constitutionality of any drone strikes that the administration may actually plan to make against Americans in their own country. His brilliant act of political stagecraft was able to bring attention to the reality of martial-law actions from the fringe of awareness-- where we gladly reside -- to the center of a national concern. This is a concern that is shared not only by Christian right-wingers, but also by liberal and Democratic civil libertarians -- these conscientious people don't desire to see the federal government think about using its power against its own citizens.
Close readers will recall that both of these areas are concerns that we at Real Money USA have been raising for a long, long time.
And in view of all of this, we have another suggestion: Review your investment portfolio and consider converting it all from the crumbling fiat-money system to God's Money, gold and silver instruments.
