CZAR ANOTHER NAME FOR POLITICAL COVER

Posted by Jax Hawk on Thursday, October 22, 2009 5:31:28 PM

Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” —Ronald Reagan
It will go down in history as one of Barack Obama’s signature decisions on the economy, a dramatic move to slash corporate pay at bailed out banks and automakers.
But on Wednesday night, administration officials said that the president of the United States didn’t have all that much to do with a decision that will, in many ways, come to define his relationship with Wall Street.
In fact, sources within the administration say the decision to cap corporate pay was Kenneth Feinberg’s, and his alone. A senior administration official tells POLITICO that Obama did not sign off on the pay master's decision. Feinberg didn’t even brief the White House on it, the official said, but he briefed Treasury officials instead.
“Decisions were his,” says the official. Treasury, in turn, briefed White House staff on the “shape and general direction” of the Feinberg decision last week, but didn't offer extensive detail. The president did not have to approve Feinberg’s plan.

Feinberg, a Washington attorney who was appointed to the unsalaried position as Treasury’s special master for corporate pay in June, has wide latitude to act independently of the administration. But it appears to me that the denial of the Obama syncophants is nothing more than giving Obama plausable deniability.

In fact I believe that the whole Czar set-up is an elaborate shield for the actions of Obama that could be damaging to the presidents "messianic" image.


The saying "the buck stops here" derives from the slang expression "pass the buck" which means passing the responsibility on to someone else.



History will show that on more than one occasion President Truman referred to his desk sign in public statements. For example, in an address at the National War College on December 19, 1952 Mr. Truman said, "You know, it's easy for the Monday morning quarterback to say what the coach should have done, after the game is over. But when the decision is up before you -- and on my desk I have a motto which says The Buck Stops Here' -- the decision has to be made." In his farewell address to the American people given in January 1953, President Truman referred to this concept very specifically in asserting that, "The President--whoever he is--has to decide. He can't pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That's his job.

Some one should remind Obama and the adoring press of this fact!!

WHY DO THE LAWYERS IN CONGRESS SIT MUTE?

HOW CAN SO MANY LAWYERS BE SO DUMB!





Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” —Ronald Reagan

Today's Americans, enticed, perhaps enchanted, by charismatic speeches, are ceding so much power to Washington, and like yesteryear's Germans are building the Trojan Horse for a future tyrant. SOURCE:WALTER WILLIAMS

A sage once said; "Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can’t do either, “raise consciousness”. Those who can’t do anything go into politics. Meaningful term limits are long overdue.

The burning question in my mind is how can we have 60 lawyers in the U.S. Senate and 204 Lawyers in the U.S. Congress, who do not object to the obvious violation of the Constitution being perpetrated by the president.
Obama has created 17 czars and the 18th is waiting in the wings. He will be the czar for compensation.
All of these czars are responsible only to the president, and that makes them a government within the Constituted government.
The House of Representatives is supposed, by our Constitution, to appropriate all funds for government programs.

The framers of the Constitution detailed the duties and reasons for the delegation of those duties to the Congressional House of Representative.The House has an equal status with the Senate on most matters, but a superior status in tax and spending.

House of Representatives, Duties as detailed by our Constitutional framers includes the following.

15 May 1789 Annals 1:65
"The Constitution, having authorized the House of Representatives alone to originate money bills, places an important trust in our hands, which, as their protectors, we ought not to part with. I do not mean to imply that the Senate are less to be trusted than this house; but the Constitution, no doubt for wise purposes, has given the immediate representatives of the people a control over the whole government in this particular, which, for their interest, they ought not to let out of their hands.

The Constitution places the power in the House of originating money bills. The principal reason why the Constitution had made this distinction was, because they were chosen by the people, and supposed to be the best acquainted with their interest and ability. In order to make them more particularly acquainted with these objects, the democratic branch of the legislature consisted of a greater number, and were chosen for a shorter period; that so they might revert more frequently to the mass of the people".

As lawyers, each and every one of the 264 current members of the U.S. House and Senate must certainly understand that what Obama has done by appointing czars, who are responsible to no one but him, is a direct violation of the Constitution the president swore to uphold when he took the office of President.
He has appointed special "advisors" who will work from inside the White House on healthcare, the economy, energy and urban issues, with more to come.

Why then, has no one objected to Obama taking away from the House of Representatives their Constitutional rights? He appears to be subverting the authority of Congress, and concentrating too much power in the presidency! These "petty dictators" apparently plan to expand government's tentacles into nearly every nook and cranny of American government, business, and personal life,and control the purse strings of trillions of tax payers money.

In my un-legal opinion, Obama has committed an impeachable offense and nobody in Congress is even voicing an objection! Apparently, the virtue of decency and respect for the rule of law has been subverted by the quest for power, and in so doing we may loose our Country as our parents and grandparents experienced it!

Our government, while having neither moral nor constitutional authority, has the legal and physical might to take the property of one American and give it to another. And Obama has been doing this since taking over the Oval Office at a rate that exceedes all the money spent by Bush for the Iraq war and his Tarp program!

The unanticipated problem with this agenda is that as Congress uses its might to take what belongs to one American to give to another, what President Obama calls "spreading the wealth around," more and more Americans will want to participate in the looting. It will ultimately produce something none of us wants: absolute control over our lives. They call it fascism!

OBAMA CREATES HIS VERSION OF THE POLITBURO

Posted by Jax Hawk on Saturday, June 06, 2009 9:29:44 AM




In Marxist-Leninist states, the party is seen as "the vanguard of the people" and therefore usually has the power to control the state, and the non-state party officials in the politburo generally hold extreme power.

In the Soviet Union for example, the General Secretary of the Communist Party did not necessarily hold a state office like president or prime minister to effectively control the system of government. Instead, party members answerable to or controlled by the party held these posts, often as honorific posts as a reward for their long years of service to the party.
Stalin ruled the Soviet Union for well over a decade before assuming the governmental position of Premier of the Soviet Union during World War II.The Politburo until July 1990 exercised supreme control over the Soviet government.

The Politburo assumed a major position in party and state administration, and it eventually came to overshadow the role of the Central Committee. Because the party secretariat planned the agenda, provided all documentation for debate, and transmitted Politburo decisions to the lower echelons, the general secretary of the Communist Party (Stalin) became the Politburo’s most influential member. Following the power struggles after Lenin’s death in 1924, Stalin achieved a controlling position on the Politburo, exercising complete dominance over it and the party in general.

Officially, the Party Congress elects a Central Committee which, in turn, elects a General Secretary. Under Stalin however, this model was essentially reversed and it was the General Secretary who determined the composition of the Politburo and Central Committee.

Substitute President for General Secretary and Czars for Central Committee and you have the situation that Obama is developing in Washington. His czars are not responsible to the Congress.
They do not have to reveal their salary, or how they spend the millions they are responsible for, and are accountable to nobody other than the president. Collectively these czars have 1.7 trillion dollars at their disposal!
The president subverted the Constitution by reversing the Bankruptcy laws of the nation. He did this when he put the bond holders at the end of the "deal" he put together to allow the Union and the government to usurp the ownership of the Chrysler and General Motors Companies.

Although I am not comparing the President to either Stalin or Hitler, Obama's establishing of, thus far, sixteen czars accountable only to him. He has created his own governing body within, and yet outside, the Constitutional Government. He has created his own version of a Politburo! If you have read "The Devils Disciple's" you might see the analogy of the inner workings of Adolph "H".
"The Devil's Disciples" is the first major book to examine those lieutenants of Hitler, not only as individuals but also as an administrative group. It focuses on the three most important Nazi principals — Göring, Goebbels, and Himmler — with their nearest rivals — Bormann, Speer, and Ribbentrop. These six men ran the Third Reich until the Allies defeated them in September 1945.

I will, however, state that it appears to me that Obama has little respect for the Constitution, and particularly the Fifth Amendment that guarantees the right of due process to all citizens!
