Muammar Gaddafi had become weary of fighting the international community and intermittent bombings that claimed the life of his children and compatriots so he voluntarily gave up his nuclear and weapons of mass destruction in 2003.  He continued to make a lot of noise about the western powers, though he kept the various factions in his country from outright anarchy and exporting terrorism around the globe.

The pattern that Obama has forged in Tunisia, Libya, Syria and Egypt is deposing one secular leader after another and driving them into the arms of Iran and Russia. His curious alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization and the parent of our supposed sworn enemy aL Qaeda further prove this. Everywhere Obama & Hilary Clinton have touched with their disastrous foreign policies failed States have flourished.

Egypt has gone as far as filed charges in the World Court of ‘Crimes against Humanity’ against Obama for supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and the atrocities they committed against the Egyptian people. Libya has since become a haven for terrorists and criminals that wish to seek their fortune in the anonymity of a failed nation, where anything and everything is available for a price without any annoying law enforcement, there is not any. The government has to hire militia units to patrol and provide security services for government buildings, hospitals and the airports in the country.

It is so bad that a Russian aircraft carrying weapons that was transiting through Libya was stripped of its arms right on the runway shortly after landing. The picture above is one of the arms markets in Tripoli where any weapon is available for a price from small arms to heavy weapons and shoulder fired surface to air missile (SAM) as well. If I were to speculate, each failed action by Obama may not be a failed action at all, as no one is this incompetent.

If each action is viewed with another motive the pieces fall into place, let us connect the dots. It starts with the Green Revolution in Iran in 2009, Obama took a hands off approach when a regime change could have occurred in Iran, curious that he had an opportunity to end their nuclear program decisively and completely, he let this movement die in its crib. Then he and Hilary Clinton championed the Arab Spring, or the illusion of Democracy in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt and embraced the Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia law, which caused the people of Egypt to overthrow them, the upshot is that Egypt has now turned to Putin and Russian arms, Libya is a failed State and Saudi Arabia does not trust Obama.

If you wanted to cause strife, war, chaos & pestilence Obama has made a good start so far but he is far from finished. His next foray was Syria with the infamous “Red Line” which brought us to the brink of War with Russia and Iran their ally in the region, Putin swooped in and brokered a deal at the supposed last minute.

No one can be this incompetent, if we were to now suppose that each of these actions were done to increase the influence of Iran and Russia and weaken the influence of the Sunni Islam majority in the Middle East and the western powers things become much clearer. We know that Obama has had the Muslim Brotherhood at the White House, which is incredible to even contemplate such an act, however this has happened and the red carpet has been laid out for Islam in our government under Obama.

To sum up Obama is not only a usurper who refuses to document and prove his murky past he may also be a foreign agent working for both Iran and Russia, the pieces fit, they appear undeniable when viewed thorough this perspective. The oppression he has heaped on our citizens is incredible and unceasing; with all the abuse of power used by this petty tyrant, who has his finger on the nuclear trigger, may well destroy us all.

Therefore, now that we have been lead to this conjecture, Obama’s open mic statement when he thought no one could hear to Medvedev the Russian President “tell Vladimir I will be more flexible after the election” is a lot clearer in intention.

Sic Semper Tyrannis, Latin for “thus always to tyrants“; is the rallying cry against tyranny dating back to the Roman Empire with the utterance of this phrase by Marcus Junius Brutus upon the demise of Julius Caesar.  This simple phrase has been used by countless European nations to gain independence from their oppressive monarchs, as well as others down through the ages since first spoken two thousand years ago.  To give an American context to this phrase John Wilkes Booth immortalized it as he leapt to the stage from the Presidential Box after mortally wounding Abraham Lincoln at Fords Theater 147 years ago. 

Throughout history, man has always sought self-determination as a God given or Natural Right as they struggled against the rule of man through Kings.  This nation was founded upon the principle that man given the ability, the will, and means to do so could flourish under the rule of law.  Moreover, flourish we have, the amount of economic growth and wonders this nation has seen in its short existence of only 237 years is astounding, not rivaled in history. 

Many wonder at how this came about that we have stood in the belief of personal freedom to champion the individual, the cornerstone of our Republic above all else.  We have accomplished this by creating a unique identify that embraces all, while giving none dominion over others.  Our history is not blemish free, with the stain of slavery and oppression of the Indian Nations on our national honor.  We have endured; being true to our founding principles by righting theses injustices with the blood of our ancestors shed in battle as only these sins can be paid.

We have endured all that time and the ravages of condemnation have thrown against us to the pinnacle of freedom and liberty we now stand before.

One seminal danger that the Founders sought to address was that our President would never have divided loyalties with the simple requirement that our president be a natural born citizen as enumerated in Article II Sec. 1 of our Constitution.  These men were wise beyond their ability to foresee the future, though keen to realize the frailty of mere men to govern themselves. 

What does it mean to be a “natural born citizen” for the president?  The historical context means, that one has certain duties bound to themselves and their nation to act in the best interest of all its citizens as they mark their service to the nation while shunning any allegiance to another.  Recognizing that there is a distinction from an ordinary citizen or these wise men would not have placed this requirement amongst the pages of our Constitution. 

The concept of “natural born citizen,” challenged in a manner that our founders never dreamed would happen; that a man would rise to the office of president that would tear down the very fabric and framework of our Nation.

Our founders believed in the possibility that day would come to challenge this principle making this a national security issue so they placed this frail, meager and humble requirement into the framework of our Government. We are now facing that day with deliberate ruin of our nations economy by reckless spending of the nation’s wealth requires more in every Obama budget, year over year.  Signs of our decline are practically the same as Brutus eloquently spoke and shown by the following:

Authorizing the borrowing of revenues against the future, though spending it in the present is dangerous and foolhardy, though practiced without any restriction of sound fiscal management.

Division of our nation by a president that is using wealth, race, gender, creed, class distinction and political ideology to create doubt and fear in the nation’s citizens while advocating another vision for our nation, solely of his creation. 

Shrouding of the president’s identity of his past, credentials and bona-fides by not allowing scrutiny of his documents by this nation citizens, he alone creates the narrative that he wishes seen, and only that narrative many shameless judges and courts have been willing to assist in this endeavor. 

The president declaring to a sovereign State Court after being served valid order(s) from this court are not applicable to him, as he seeks reelection within the State of Georgia and that he is above the rule of law.

Creating a tax system that yokes only 51% of the nation’s citizens to pay federal income taxes while the rest either pay no federal taxes, or receive more than they paid in benefits.

Usurping the powers of the other two separate but equal branches of our government by redefinition of laws and using regulatory powers to thwart their legislative and judicial branch purview(s) into his office.  Using signing statements and executive orders rather than veto power granted to him by the Constitution to subvert legislation by his own hand. 

Deliberately defying and usurping the authority of congressional oversight by making unconstitutional appointments of secretaries and commissioners to agencies of the federal government while they are in session. 

Appointment of Czars which have overlapping authority to cabinet level positions that lack any congressional approval or oversight making their actions absolute without recourse against them by Congress or the People.

By passing final and absolute judgment upon the nation’s citizens without their 5^th Amendment rights to due process of law, and denying them the ability to face their accusers in open court, by summarily executing these citizens in defiance of the Constitution with the use of secret panels.

Granting of Constitutional and Miranda rights to this nation’s sworn enemy when captured on foreign battlefields, the Geneva Convention designates these belligerents as illegal combatants and are not accorded any rights under this Treaty.  However, they are given these rights over our citizens by the granting of due process of law, while denying the same to our citizens.

Designation of the entire nation as a battle zone with authorization to use military assets in a law enforcement role sweeping aside the exclusive police powers granted to the several States by the Constitution.  This designation has the authority to arrest citizens by military forces and subject them to indefinite confinement without trial or charges; abolishing Habeas Corpus and Posse Comitatus, as long standing Constitutional guarantees to our nation’s citizens from abuse of process.

Callous, wanton and reckless spending of the nations treasure to sycophants that fawn upon this president to fill his election coffers with campaign contributions; in deference to his duty to safeguard the treasury to the benefit of all its citizens versus dispensation to the select few that curry his momentary favor.

Allowing corrupt law enforcement policies and practices that caused the death and destruction of hundreds if not thousands of a neighboring nation’s citizens without their knowledge or consent, with illegal arms sent across their border as a guise, impetus and artifice to curtail our Constitutional rights to keep and bear arms.

Electing a president with divided loyalties only hastens these events and the weakening of our nation, what is true for Rome the first republic is true today for us as it was for them.  The wisdom of the founders can only be embraced while we are forced to endure these inequities and injustice as a debasement of our freedom and heritage.  Thus always to tyrants that these things have happened as stated by Brutus in “Sic Semper Tyrannis“, one has to wonder could these very acts be said of Caesar?

The founding of our nation occurred in 1789 with the ratification of the Constitution by the several States; everything up to that point was prelude and included a bloody civil and revolutionary war against our compatriots, and King George III, the world’s only superpower of their day.

With the drafting of the Constitution, our founders understood that government was raw power instituted to compel citizens to follow the legislated laws of Congress. This was manifest by three branches, envisioned to be a check and balance on any other branch of our government. As well as a balancing act to check these powers from being abused by any one person or branch to the detriment of all, and most of all to check power devolving to someone that would emulate the trappings of a monarch.

This was so crucial that John Jay who would later become our first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court would reduce to pen his concerns in a letter to George Washington that would lay out the argument for the office of President. Filled by none other than a ‘natural born citizen’ this is the only office in our entire federal system that has this requirement.

The words that Mr. Jay chose were so deferential and conveyed the esteem that he held for George Washington with, “permit me to hint” the reverence that he held for our father of this nation leaps from the page and can be felt as well as read, his exact words follow:

Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise & seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expresly that the Command in chief of the american army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.

 This was the government of our founding.

Compare that with what we have today, the abuse of power by Obama and a paralyzed Congress that cowers in the corner and has allowed every trespass on our rights to occur under their watch. Then to add insult to injury this very same august body gives every penny that this tyrant demands, then wastes as he sees fit to our detriment. The wisdom of John Jay’s words and the requirement in our constitution for the office of president were prescient, as they knew that some day one would come forward to challenge this requirement and our system of government.

When our president does not know what in fact our system of government is at the State level we have to wonder where it is he has been his entire life? Telling the assembled governors at the Governors Conference practically two weeks ago “he did not trust them to make decisions about education, transportation, and infrastructure” within their own States must have left them absolutely stunned; these men and women of character who lead their States people. Clearly, this nation has a huge problem and it sits in the White House, with an incompetent ne’er do well that does not even know how many States make up this nation…he is under the impression it is 57 or is it 60?

Much less how we govern ourselves.

The abuse of power from this president is remarkable, as every agency of our federal government is used to oppress our citizens and suppress any other viewpoint other than the president and his party; many of them are having second thoughts and running from him as well. How have we fallen so far and so low as to allow this to happen, that we now have a tyrant that sits and dictates to us in contrast to Abraham Lincoln’s eloquent words of the Gettysburg Address about our nations people, “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth” I am fond of saying a “free and able people.”

Ever allow such madness to occur!

To correct this course to our destruction we must impeach Obama for his many crimes and abuses of power and amend the Constitution so that these abuses never occur again, passing laws and elections will not fix this issue, as our government is no longer constrained by the Constitution. We must repeal as a minimum the 16^th Amendment to defund this bloated federal leviathan that is gorging on the fruits of the peoples labor and end the entitlement mindset that has destroyed this nation’s desire for reaping the fruits of our own labors and a honest days work for an honest wage.

We must restore the vital missing check on ongoing federal powers, by repealing the 17th Amendment, and allow the States to direct, appoint and recall Senators once again and turn the Senate back into a deliberative body instead of an Uber House of Representatives with six-year terms. Can anyone make a cogent argument that Obama would be in the Oval Office if not for the 17^th Amendment. Even the scandal and corruption plagued Illinois legislature would have sent a blind Seeing Eye dog to Washington before Obama, as they knew he was Mr. Voting Present and did not have the character and fortitude for national service.

Please get involved with the Convention of States project or any other organization that is working towards amending the Constitution in your area, to place this nation back once again into the constitutional box where it belongs instead of the bloated monster it has become.

In Liberty

What is becoming abundantly clear that Obama is either a foreign agent or mentally unbalanced and must be turned out of office for the sake of the nation and world. We must remember that our presidents have their finger on the nuclear trigger and have the ability to destroy civilization, as we know it.

Many will question my statement and call me pejoratives for such a rash statement; however, the words that Rick Perry Governor of Texas spoke last week were chilling.

In his own words:

“When you have governors, and we all compete against each other — we are the laboratories of innovation — and for the President of the United States to look Democrat and Republican governors in the eye and say, ‘I do not trust you to make decisions in your state about issues of education, about transportation infrastructure,’ — and that is really troubling,”

To clarify my earlier statements regarding president unhinged, apparently he is not aware of the balance that the States imposed on the federal government when they ratified the Constitution. Must we remind the president in name only that we are a compact, a confederation of sovereign States that conduct our own affairs as the citizens of our states find most pleasing, which is why prostitution is legal in Nevada and no other State? Alternatively, that Colorado & Washington have now seen fit to make marijuana legal for recreational use.

For a sitting president to say ‘I do not trust you to make decisions in your state about issues of education, about transportation infrastructure,’ about affairs in their own State is deeply troubling and indicates a complete disconnect from the reality on the understanding of our entire system of government, State, Federal and local by this president.

These are indeed troubling times…for the sake of this nation and world this tyrant must simply be turned out of office, preferably on a rail.
