Obama refuses to Prosecute Hillary dispite her criminal activities to Help the Democrats stay in Power

Obama Change We Can Believe In

The reason we seriously need a new Constitutional Convention is because the current one has been reduced to a scrap paper. President Obama’s outrageous suggestion that mishandling classified documents in the case of Hillary Clinton is not necessarily a criminal offense only serves to illustrate that this is purely politics. Hillary belongs in jail and what she did was for personal gain whereas Obama calls Snowden a traitor for leaking documents that exposed government lies. He wants to imprison Snowden for life while excusing Hillary for a life of crime getting donations from foreign governments selling influence as Secretary of State. Obama’s intention to keep a prominent Democrat out of jail so the Democrats can win is a low-life corrupt act demonstrating it is who you know that counts and the rule of law means nothing. He is even seeking an 18% increase in pay TAX FREE for past presidents to enrich himself.

Hillary LaughingObama tries to justify not prosecuting Hillary pointing to the complexity of U.S. law regarding secrets. Neverthless, it has been his administration which has brought far more prosecutions for any disclosure of classified information under the Espionage Act of 1917 than all other presidencies combined. Obama is playing the political card knowing that the press will not expose the truth and a Democratic victory is far more important than the rule of law.

Even the Romans created the office of the Tribune who could bring any official to justice. We have the Inspector General which is mimicking the Roman Tribune, but it has no power to act independently and prosecute politicians which was the entire purpose of the Tribune. Without an independent Inspector General, which who could indict even the President, we do not stand a chance of a fair government.

We need a Constitutional Convention to rewrite the Constitution. Of course, that would be a preventative measure reforming corrupt politics. Therefore, it will NEVER take place until we crash and burn. Then, and only then, is reform possible. The corruption is so prevalent, this reminds me of reaching the crossroads of Didius Julianus (193AD). The Praetorian Guard, or what we would call the Secret Service today, outright murdered the Emperor Pertinax (President) and the full corruption of Roman bureaucracy burst forth. After parading around with the head of Pertinax on a pole, the Guards withdrew to the safety of their camp. No clear heir was available so the Guards stationed heralds on the wall to announce openly that the office of Emperor was up for sale to the highest bidder.

DidiusJulianus-Aureus

Thus began perhaps the most scandalous affair in Roman history. The corruption had reached such open levels that the decline and fall of the Roman Empire began at this moment in time. There were two rival bidders who presented themselves – Titus Flavius Sulpicianus (father-in-law of Pertinax) and Marcus Didius Julianus. Didius’ bid was 25,000 sestertii per man, which was the high bid and he was duly declared Emperor.

Didius Julianus quickly found himself in serious trouble. The treasury had been depleted much more so than he had expected and minted coins to pay the bribe he promised reducing the weight and metal content. When the outrage led to outright civil war, Julianus found himself deserted by the Praetorians who were not about to defend him against Roman legions marching against them. Julianus was officially deposed by the Senate and sought refuge in his deserted palace. He was beheaded on June 1st/2nd, 193AD after a reign of only 66 days.

Have we reached our crossroads in open political corruption?

Bill Whittle: APPROPRIATE THIS!


Published on Apr 11, 2016

The Social Justice Warriors — the first warriors to faint at the sight of a penknife — have a new weapon to show off their unearned moral superiority: CULTURAL APPROPRIATION, where mainstream culture steals from minorities without being “authentic.” Surprisingly Bill Whittle agrees with this, and has a list of grievances all his own.

The World Economy is Closing In Thanks to Merkel


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Apr 12, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Mother-Merkel

Merkel-Welcome

Sometimes the brain-dead decision of one person can set off a contagion that sweeps the world. Merkel’s open invitation to the Muslim, pretend refugees has been tearing Europe apart. The majority are not even from Syria. European states will raise their borders and require a passport because so many of these Muslim “refugees” are unaccounted for, especially after the Brussels attack.

Ted Cruz had to respond to the rising support for Trump over this immigration issue, as it is also becoming the main focus in Britain. Cruz said Trump cannot block Muslims, so he proposed the politically correct version: all Europeans must get a visa to enter the USA. Now Europe is responding as nations always do and the European Union (EU) is currently considering requiring U.S. citizens and Canadians to apply for visas before visiting the country of their choice, even if it’s for a short vacation. Currently, visitors to the U.S. from Poland, Croatia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and Romania all need a visa. Romanians and Bulgarians also need visas for Canada. The European Commission claims it is trying to achieve a full visa waiver for all member states, but in reality, this is a standard response to Cruz’s statement that he would introduce legislation to impose a visa requirement on all Europeans. The fear is that the Muslims who are interested in terrorism can get into the USA easily via Europe because of what Merkel has done. So we face the problem of closing borders within the EU because the refugees will spread, and that, unfortunately, becomes only logical. It does not appear to be reversible.

US Airlines — the Unfriendly Skies

airplane-flying

Airlines in the United States, including Delta, American, and United, are engaging in outright criminal behavior under the anti-trust laws. They charge a $200 fee to change a ticket, even if the ticket itself costs $200, and if you complain they respond by saying that all of the airlines charge the same fee. That proves that they are violating the anti-trust laws for they are not competing. Instead, they have all agreed to treat their passengers as victims.

Granted, the airlines had a bad decade after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Terrorism fears, security costs, and rising fuel prices along with hidden taxes caused revenues to decline and some U.S. carriers were even forced into bankruptcy. The airlines have tried to improve their situation by screwing their passengers to the point that it’s just unpleasant to fly on them anymore. Personally, I never use American carriers overseas anymore as they nickel and dime customers in ways big and small. I even bought a first-class ticket domestically in case I had to change it, but I later found out that only applies internationally. So, no matter what class you fly, they will screw you and leave a bad taste in your mouth. These policies do not inspire loyal customers.

Abusive bag fees and refusing to provide refunds, even when they resell the seat at double the revenue, would be fraud in any other industry. The airlines in America have been ramping up federal lobbying efforts on a grand scale. The airlines, like the bankers, buy both sides, and in doing so, exempt themselves from anti-trust prosecution. The airlines are following the course of the bankers — just buy Congress and you get to do anything.

New Bill to Collect Taxes Outlawing Encryption


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re Posted Apr 11, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Encryprion Bill

Those in power are simply liars. Why we elect such people is beyond me. We simply cannot afford career politicians because they will ALWAYS divide between themselves and the people. NO REPUBLIC has ever resisted converting into an oligarchy. It just does not work. I reported that Obama slipped and actually said the truth by mistake. In the case against Apple, he said if they government could not break into a phone then EVERY American had a Swiss Bank Account in their phone. This is not about terrorism. It is the hunt for money and their mismanagement of the economy.

Here is the proposed bill to outlaw encryption (encryption-bill-discussion-draft). While this is still in draft version, it demonstrates that it is them against us. Passage of this bill will DESTROY the world economy because of their greed. Outlawing encryption will end the ability to pay online. Whatever the government can gain access to, so will hackers.

How Politicians Justify Denying the People the Right to Vote


Armstrong Economic Blog

Re-Posted Apr 11, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Harms Rebecca

In the wake of the Dutch vote against allowing Ukraine into the EU, SPIEGEL is reporting the arrogance of EU ministers who criticize even allowing the people to vote. This is why I say they regard the people as simply the Great Unwashed who are simply beneath their level of intelligence to bother listening to. The leader of the Greens in the European Parliament, Rebecca Harms, explained why she and most in the EU Parliament are opposed any form of direct democracy allowing the people to vote. She says this would only come at the expense of Europe and will “jeopardize” the EU, which is their federalization dream. Her remarks make it very clear why Britain should exit or surrender their sovereignty.

Harms goes on to say that only 18% of the Dutch population turned out so they should be basically just ignored. The point is enough turned out in a non-binding referendum because they were passionate about the issue. Effectively, this is how government becomes disconnected from the people which historically leads to revolution. This also reflects their stubbornness to even remotely consider that just perhaps their idea of a federalized Europe does not work. Their policy of allowing in millions of Muslims is also at the heart of the Dutch referendum. That of course is not considered.

These comments are the justification for staying the course. There is nothing to prevent the crash and burn for that is the only time such people can be reversed by throwing them out of office. Politicians will NEVER even consider that their course of action is wrong. They will follow that course on any subject to the absolute end no matter what. Those is government operate the same way. Politicians, judges, and prosecutors, all maintain the position that they are NEVER wrong. Nobody will admit a mistake for the fear that would justify losing power. Hence, the crash and burn becomes the only possible outcome.
