The Administration: Scarier Than You Could Imagine [Updates!]

In a recent blog post here at Talk Wisdom, I requested readers here to view a documentary entitled Agenda: Grinding America Down. I also posted this information at the TEA Party Community site. [It is a conservative alternative to Face Book]. Yesterday, I sent an email out to relatives, friends, fellow bloggers, and acquaintances, encouraging them to view the documentary. 

After viewing the documentary, you will completely understand why Obummer and his ilk think nothing of spying on everyday Americans using all social media available - under the guise of "keeping America safe."

Remember this?

Snowden speaks: Washington Examiner: Edward Snowden: I mistakenly believed in Obama’s promises.

Also see this video!! The Guardian: NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden: 'I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things' – video


I truly believe that when we are well aware of the past and are shown how liberalism/ socialism/progressivism/communism has infiltrated America, we will finally realize how we got to this huge level of corruption in government in Washington D.C.  Hopefully, such an understanding will lead us to be better prepared and equipped to fight against it.  What is sorely needed is a break through the media of mass deception that doesn't care that Obama is a wannabe dictator,  and get the truth out to the public.

I was very heartened to read that several TEA Party Community friends have viewed the video.  Here is what some of them had to say:

Thanks, Christine! I appreciate the videos. I do know a little bit about how Communism came into this country. Anything by John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr are great on this subject, as well as Paul Kengor's books ("The Communist" as well as "Dupes").

Also, I own "Hollywood Party," by Kenneth Billingsley, and it's an account of how Communists took over Hollywood, from the early 1930s-late 1950s/early 1960s.

Thanks so much, ma'am, and God Bless!


As you can see, that gentleman shared many other resources on the subject.

D.S. replied:


Hi Christine, it sounds interesting. The show starts in 30 minutes, but I'll check it out after and maybe talk about it next week. Have a great day!

That gentleman has a radio show and I'm looking forward to hearing back from him.

Update:  I received some reactions from people that received my email:

Chris,
Thanks for the video. It shows exactly what is happening to our country. I
never thought I would see this in my time
on this earth.

"Bing" also shared the video with others and wrote:


Is there a connection? Homosexuality acceptance, family deterioration, abortion (women’s lib.), no prayer in schools, wealth distribution, racism, evolution, freedom of speech, repression of dissention, gun control, Obamacare, environment (the latest), school indoctrination, church apostasy, capitalism, anti Christianity, increased socialism, individual moral values, and desire for change.

Hitler and Stalin did most of these things, especially gun control, school indoctrination of youth, anti-Christianity, socialized medicine (Obamacare), racism, wealth distribution, and the others were affected too.
 
Yep, we are headed there by design of the Communist Party and its hotbed at the University of Berkeley.

In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill.” (Club of Rome).

Continuing with blog post:

With all of the criminality that is happening and surrounding this ObaMARXIST BADministration, have you noticed that NO ONE is being held accountable?

Why is that??

 Well, I think that Lloyd Marcus has written an essay over at American Thinker that will answer that question.

The Administration: Scarier Than You Could Imagine
American Thinker - 7 hours ago
Folks, when are we going to hold these people's feet to the fire?
 
Excerpt:
 

If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound?  If the Obama administration breaks the law at will, lies to the American people, uses every government agency at its disposal to punish its conservative/Republican enemies and no one does anything about it, does the administration make a sound?  Yes it does -- resulting in devastating consequences for the American people.

Despite a trifecta of scandals, Obama and company continue to stonewall, lie, or refuse to answer questions -- in essence, giving Congress and the American people the finger.  Pundits are shocked and taken aback by the unprecedented arrogance of the Obama administration.

Such pundits are a bit late coming to the dance, as we in the Tea Party have been well aware for years of the lawlessness and arrogance of this bunch of thugs from Chicago.  Have these surprised pundits forgotten Obama's unprecedented overreaches into the private sector -- nationalizing General Motors, bullying banks, ignoring the ruling of federal judges, trashing the Constitution, and more?

Still, pundits are missing the much greater horrifying picture.  My fellow Americans, we are in deep, deep trouble.  The cold reality is that until someone steps forward in real opposition to Obama governing according to his will while ignoring all the laws, checks, and balances, we are defenseless, expendable supplicants of a tyrannical dictator.

Remarkably, the mainstream media is complaisant with Obama acting like our king rather than our president because he is liberal, he is black, and his presidency is historic.  Obama's agenda fits neatly with the mainstream media's socialist/progressive agenda.  So they are elated to have a Teflon liberal black guy in the White House furthering their cause.

Speaking of expendable supplicants, let us not forget Ambassador Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and Sean Smith, who lost their lives -- left to die in our consulate in Benghazi.

The people in the Obama administration are emboldened to do whatever they please: bully conservative groups and individuals, secretly invade our privacy, target reporters, and thumb their noses when they get caught -- all without any real political push-back or consequences.  We the American people are in deep excrement.

Ponder that, folks.  As long as the mainstream media provides cover for Obama and keeps his poll numbers high by making sure no bad news is linked to Obama (Limbaugh Theorem), our president is empowered to function as a supreme ruler, free to do whatever he pleases to us.  Dear God, help us!

Obama is the first black president.  Okay, I get it.  But neither Obama's black skin nor the mainstream media's rabid desire to protect his legacy should award him imperial dictator status, trumping the best interest of the American people.

What is even scarier, is the fact that whistle blowers are either fearing for their lives or the lives of family members, demoted (as in the case of Benghazi whistle blower, Greg Hicks), and finding no recourse for protection. 

Today, the recent revelation of the whistle blower in the NSA snooping and surveillance scandal could either be deemed  as Fox News Channel website currently describes him:

"Hero or traitor?  The question is...Can Feds Get Him?"

From Fox website:

Ex-CIA employee Edward Snowden, who claims to be source of leaks about US government's monitoring and collection of phone and Internet records, reportedly is holed up in Hong Kong and is seeking asylum from 'any countries that believe in free speech' — as feds work to extradite him and call grows to 'prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.'

    Orwell's "1984" Becoming a Reality in 2013?

    The fictional story of George Orwell's book entitled "1984" is becoming more of a reality with each passing decade.  All of the advances in technology have helped our world tremendously, but the misuse of it all (when put in the wrong hands of power)  also works, unfortunately, towards the detriment of our privacy, liberty, and freedom.

    This weekend, Fox News is reporting on How Will Big Data Impact Your Privacy? Your Secret's Out and gives us points to ponder:

    Sunday, April 14 at 9 p.m. ET Hosted by John Roberts

    Every step we take, every move we make, "Big Data" is watching us. Our computers, phones and countless other devices are generating long trails of electronic data -- information that can be stored and analyzed who-knows-where for who-knows-what by who-knows-who.

    When our lives can be retrieved at the stroke of a key, what happens to privacy? Does the government become too powerful?

    Could our traditional freedoms be threatened and do we care?

    This weekend, Fox News delves into the world of daily data and examines stories that would have seemed entirely unconnected only a few years ago: Government whistleblowers fretting about a mysterious new spy center in the Utah desert.

    A Massachusetts teacher instructing grade-schoolers on what not to do with an iPhone.

    A new breed of political operatives leading an unprecedented get-out-the-vote effort.

    A California entrepreneur trying to mine data from social networking sites.

    In today's world, it all ties together. And in 'Fox News Reporting: Your Secret's Out' we're connecting the dots.
     
    Read Catherine Herridge's article:


    Fox News.com: NSA data center front and center in debate over liberty, security and privacy,


    Excerpt:


    Twenty-five miles due south of Salt Lake City, a massive construction project is nearing completion. The heavily secured site belongs to the National Security Agency.

    "The spy center" -- that's what some of the locals like Jasmine Widmer, who works at Bluffdale's sandwich shop, told our Fox News team as part of an eight month investigation into data collection and privacy rights that will be broadcast Sunday at 9 p.m. ET called "Fox News Reporting: Your Secrets Out.”

    The NSA says the Utah Data Center is a facility for the intelligence community that will have a major focus on cyber security. The agency will neither confirm nor deny specifics. Some published reports suggest it could hold 5 zettabytes of data. (Just one zettabyte is the equivalent of about 62 billion stacked iPhones 5's-- that stretches past the moon.

    One man we hoped would answer our questions, the current director of the NSA General Keith Alexander, declined Fox News's requests to sit down for an interview, so we stopped by the offices of a Washington think tank, where Alexander was speaking at a cyber security event last year.

    Asked if the Utah Data Center would hold the data of American citizens, Alexander said, "No...we don't hold data on U.S. citizens," adding that the NSA staff "take protecting your civil liberties and privacy as the most important thing that they do, and securing this nation."

    But critics, including former NSA employees, say the data center is front and center in the debate over liberty, security and privacy.

    "[It] raises the most serious questions about the vast amount of data that could be kept in one place for many, many different sources," Thomas Drake told Fox News.
     
    Drake -- who worked at the NSA from Aug. 2001 to Aug. 2008 and was unsuccessfully prosecuted on espionage charges -- says Americans should be concerned about letting the government go too far in the name of security.

    "It's in secret so you don't really know," Drake explained. "It's benign, right. If I haven't -- and if I haven't done anything wrong it doesn't matter. The only way you can have perfect security is have a perfect surveillance state. That's George Orwell. That's 1984. That's what that would look like."

    Consider the fact that such a monstrosity of data collection COULD BE BLATANTLY ABUSED. Remember that this ObaMARXIST BADministration has an attorney general who believes they should "never let a good crisis go to waste." Our current government is headed by the worst political criminals ever in the history of the United States of America!

    The Bible informs us about what we need to know in order to be saved and enjoy life eternal with God in heaven.  What's more,  Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our very own eyes!  It is astonishing to me that people refuse to study the prophetic sections of the Bible - especially the book of Revelation.  It helps to put everything that is going on in this world in perspective.

    If this world was all that we were meant for, then we would be discouraged, distraught, depressed, and without genuine hope.  However, we were not meant for this world!

    As Christians believers, we are  Not Of This World  [NOTW] because Jesus' Kingdom is not of this world!

    Jhn 8:23 And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

    Jhn 18:36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."

    Quote for the day:

    Remember That the Lord Himself Is Your Chief Reward

    In Genesis 15:1, we find God making this statement to Abram:  "Do not be afraid Abram.  I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."  God was making great promises to Abram in those days about his future, and it would have been possible to be both fearful of the future and prideful about the blessings God was going to bestow.  But God reminds Abram that He, God, is Abram's true reward.  Land and descendants and blessing would be nothing apart from God in his life.
