Are Socialist Worker Militias Coming to a City Near You?
On February 2, Chávez announced that Ramiro Valdes would come from Cuba to deal with Venezuela’s electricity crisis:
[Valdes] has been with the Castro brothers from the beginning of the revolution and today is arguably the No. 3 man in the Cuban hierarchy. … As interior minister, Valdes oversaw secret police operations and gained a reputation for being ruthless when it came to suppressing dissidents.
He has no engineering experience in the electricity sector, aside possibly from this:
[Since] 2006, he has been the minister of computer services and communications, where he has applied his know-how in the area of repression, and today is considered the person mainly responsible for censorship of the internet in Cuba.
Chávez also seeks, and from a compliant national assembly will soon get, additional controls over the internet. He considers Twitter an instrument of terror.
President Obama has many czars and other advisors, and they could well help to put the United States on a similar path:
Federal Communications Commission Chief Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd has praised the “democratic revolution and rise to power” of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. He also has called for white media executives to step down from their posts so minorities can take their places.
Cass Sunstein is also problematical:
As head of OIRA [Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs], part of Sunstein’s authority includes “overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs”
Why is Chávez doing these things? There are at least two theories:
One says it is because he feels threatened and weak now that he is faced with hunger, unemployment, rampant inflation, crime, widespread corruption, and the serious electricity crisis for which he himself is largely responsible and that threatens to scuttle the revolutionary process. His strategy would seem to be to crush protests by sowing terror in the population.
Chávez is indeed threatened. In addition to the other crises confronting him, two former commanders who had joined Chavez in his failed 1992 coup attempt recently called publicly for his resignation and stated that he no longer has “moral authority” to govern.
The other hypothesis is that he perceives the opposition as being weak and divided and, on top of that, he feels he is in such a strong position that he considers that the time is now or never if he is to set up his communist dictatorship once and for all.
Chávez’s perception that the opposition is weak may be based in part on recent gerrymandering of voting districts to benefit his allies in the September elections. Despite a large disapproval rating of 55 percent opposed to 39 percent favorable — a 16 percent negative rating compared to President Obama’s recent negative rating of 15 percent — the gerrymandering may work.
Sr. Valdes is hardly the first emissary from Cuba to take the leadership in things Venezuelan:
Thousands of Cuban “doctors” fell on Venezuela’s poor urban areas or barrios and villages and worked from the program’s modules, where, in addition to providing primary health care, they also set about raising people’s awareness of the virtues of communism. According to official figures, these “doctors” today number more than 30,000, quite apart from the 6,000 specialists engaged in “training” general medical practitioners and health technicians in Venezuela.
Health care in Venezuela has gone from acceptable to terrible during the past decade.
Two other sectors that have been subjected to Cuban penetration are education, with more than 300 “collaborators,” and sports, where some 4,544 sports technicians are apparently helping to get the masses to practice sports and physical education.
Cuba also has control of ports and airports and is present in the transportation, agribusiness, food, construction, and tourism sectors, to name but a few. Now it is also in the electricity sector.
However, what should give people most cause for alarm is the handing over to Cuba of the National Identification System and the public registrars and notaries, because this allows it to control the citizen, his identity, his documents, and his property.
These governmental and quasi-governmental entities are of tremendous importance in Venezuela and in other Latin American countries such as Panamá. Without them, it is impossible to do business or even to buy or sell property or to make transactions which most of us consider routine.
Chávez also signed a bilateral agreement with Havana that allows Cuba’s police and state security personnel to perform intelligence and police activities that, constitutionally, should only be carried out by Venezuelan officials. The Venezuelan president has even adopted Cuban military defense and national security doctrines.
When Chavez celebrated his eleventh year as president and said he plans on eleven more, he said:
“I anchor myself to Christ, whom I’ve loved since I was a little kid and above all after the coup d’etat” that briefly deposed him in April 2002, Chávez added, going on to ask his supporters to always be on the alert to prevent that from recurring because “the devil never sleeps.”
“The true and only Christ is the redemptive socialism of this planet and it resurrected itself here,” he reiterated, adding that it didn’t matter to him if others said the opposite.
I suppose, in a strictly logical you-can’t-prove-a-negative sense he COULD have had “Chavez’s socialist militia in mind”, but based on what Dan wrote he could just as easily had “Britain’s Women’s Institute” in mind; a far more sinister possibility.

America has primed herself for the example of ‘new’ and ‘improved’ socialism.
Even hybrid ‘mixed’ socialism fails yet again
and is bankrupting America:
Medicare- Unsustainable
Social Security- Unsustainable
Welfare- Unsustainable
There will ALWAYS be poor people who choose to be that way. They are the ones who will ALWAYS be on the streets. Pick any country (even socialized ones) and there are people who are poor.
Then, you have the ‘poor’ people who DO NOT WANT TO WORK, PERIOD:
These are the people who feel ‘entitled’ to have an apartment with paid rent with cable TV, a computer with internet access, at least one cell-phone, three babies with dif baby daddies, welfare checks + food stamps to pay for their cigs and drugs and booze, oh, and are ‘suffering’ from extreme OBESITY.
That’s right, folks. We have the fattest ‘poor’ people on the planet! So POOR that they are fatter than the ‘rich’ people! Go figure that one out? People who are so poor they can’t find a job and yet in their ‘joblessness’ they can’t find the time to buy nutritious food rather than ‘pre-packaged junk food’ and put some extra effort into cooking a healthy meals during their ‘free jobless time’.
Riiiiiiiiight.
America has paid ‘reparations’ ten times over.
It’s time for the non-working part of AMERICA and I mean ALL ABLE BODIED AMERICANS to get their arses off the NINTENDO games and CHEETOS and off to work.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
Dan,
Very nice job here. I wouldn’t worry THAT much about the USA – yet. Five good solid EMP’s (nuclear blasts in the atmosphere high above New York, DC, East Texas, Minnesota and California) can do the USA in, and inaugurate the dictatorship you fear. If done on 31 March – or 1 April – it would wreck the quarterly reports that corporations have to put out, as well as make about 40% of the money in the States just disappear. At that point, a CAC organized by the government would seem like a god-send to many.
Friends are sending me e-mails indicating that police chiefs are resigning en masse in the States. One has to wonder why.
Jesus was a capitalist, as He said in:
For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. – Matthew 25:14-30
But, He also saw the need for charity, for He also said:
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto Me. – Matthew 25:40
When I heard about The Zero’s “civilian national security force”, I had an idea of something such as you outline. The invocation of ACORN and its wholly owned subsidiary, SEIU, is enough to give anybody a chill because this is the sort of “organizing” they were really set up to do.
Lavrenti Beria would be so proud.
Also consider Manuel Noriega’s “Dignity Battalions”. Like Chavez’ militia, little more than a copy of “Papa Doc” Duvalier’s Tonton Macoute’ in Haiti.
The main thing that has stopped The One up to now (since he simply disregards the Constitution and Federal law as he pleases) is that there just isn’t enough money in the budget to pay for his “security force”. (I could think of a few other names for it, but all would run afoul of Godwin’s Law.) However, now that he has (a) gutted NASA and will reduce it to a Greek chorus for AGW, (b) is busy eviscerating the long-lead programs in the defense budget (bye-bye F-22, so long F-35, it was nice knowing you Virginia-class SSN), by simply “repurposing funds” he might be able to start it up.
After all, how much can it cost to equip a lot of highly-motivated individuals with “assault weapons”? Probably not a lot, by federal budget standards.
(As for the “motivation” part, thanks to Alinsky, Ayers, et al, that bit has already been taken care of. No expense there, in the short term.)
I don’t really think The One is malicious. He simply has a fundamentally different view of The Way Things Ought To Be. And deeply resents anyone disagreeing with him.
The problem is that the office he holds gives its occupant a lot of power to scratch personal itches with. And The One’s single biggest “itch” is, apparently, the rest of us.

The odds are in our favor. We need to vote almost always for conservative Republican political candidates. The typical citizen must be willing to spend roughly four hours a week involved in the struggle and spend a mere .05% of their income one books, publications, and donations of one sort of another. We are paying the price today because of the indifference of some twenty years ago. It was clearly obvious at that time the situation was getting out of control—but few people actually gave a damn. The others were enjoying the good life. I have often said that it’s hard telling individuals that the overall economy is being damaged when they have just picked up their new car at the dealership, and are flying to Hawaii next week for a vacation.
No need for outside intervention, like Germany in the 30s, American is rapidly bringing down socialist dictatorship on itself.
Miniscule gains arousing the American public by the MA elections, Sarah Palin, etc., as covered by only ONE network, have vanished back to complaisancy with the Superbowl. It’s back to the mouth-breathing and gum-chewing electorate at the Superbowl.
The idea of a civil defense force came from Rahm “Rambo Deadfish” Emanuel and is set out in his 2006 book “The Plan” (http://blog.heritage.org/2008/11/24/rahms-plan-for-mandatory-service/).
Some say Michelle boot camps for radicals are It, and they’re already in operation (http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=305420655186700).
Others have rung the bell a short while ago that “Act HR1444 has a new co-sponsor; Conyers D-MI signed up. The Bill has been sitting idle in committee since April; now, the addition of another co-sponsor is troubling.”
I have a small dossier on the matter, here: http://politeia-dbase.blogspot.com/2008/11/obama-civil-defense-force-rahms-old.html
Please use “Commissars” instead of “Czars”. It’s an accurate name for socialists regimes. “Czar” tends to be imperial instead of Marxist. Obama is clearly no imperialist.
I would have loved to see someone grill Obama on what he meant by this (as well as other things). Would this new group be law enforcement taking over for the FBI, or for civil defense taking over for the National Guard? This seems like another case of Obama saying something he was told to without having any idea of what it means.
..don’t forget Mugabe and his “veterans”.
the sad part is this is such a real possibility. it is the same pattern following the little red book of Mao or the rules for radicals by Alinski. the end result is mass slavery.
The big difference bewteen Venezuelans and Americans is the 2nd Amendment Right. Latin American countries do not allow their citizens to bear arms unless they have a ‘permit’ which is very hard to obtain. The Acorn lefties and the Union thugs will have to deal with my .44 before they come to take my family.
If Obama’s interest in such a force is real it is just another one of his pipe dreams. The kind of people who would join such a force are no match for your average armed citizen. They are bullies who attack defenseless men, women and children and would run at the sight of armed men and women.
A more serious obstacle to a Chavez-like force are the local police departments and the National Guard. You must remember that because of deployments to the Iraq and Afghanistan the Guard is as well trained and combat ready as the regular army. If the SEIU or Acorn thugs survived the local armed citizens, the local and state police they would be crushed by the Governor employing his own State’s military forces.
I wouldn’t count on the regular military either to support the use of this civilian security force. Any attempt to use such a force would lead to civil war which the left would lose. It would Pinochet overthrowing Allende all over again. As much as I despise Progressives I would not want to see the United States go down that road.
The main reason I’m not worried about Obama’s civilian national security force is that he can’t magically summon it into existence with a speech (like his election) or create it quickly by fiat (General Motors). No, this would take actual skill, hard work, and organization — like closing Gitmo or arranging summits with the leaders of Venezuela, North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Cuba within a year of taking office.
#2: What you describe is the exact plan our dear leaders have for initiating the civilian army. Put the unemployed to work protecting us from the capitalists. The CCC was the model – only this time they won’t be working on parks, recreation and tourism.
EXACTLY the reason why we have a 2nd Amendment. ‘nuf said.
A Hugo Chavez style CAC would never happen. That’s extreme even for the one. Besides we all know how libs feel about guns.
As for a civilian national security force, Hey Barry, um, we already have one. Can you say…. “Nashunal Gard”?
re: @10 “Please use “Commissars” instead of “Czars”
I have long used commie-czars to refer to The Big O’s gang of ideologues and progressives. Left unchallenged they will be the ruination of the nation.
@Soso Kabo:
They aren’t going to come to your home to take your family; in fact, they will let you stay there and die out. They will however do something to you, if you go to them and stake any silly claims like: “I want to vote” or “I want bread.”
“The typical citizen must be willing to spend roughly four hours a week involved in the struggle and spend a mere .05% of their income one books, publications, and donations of one sort of another.”
That should be a mere .005%. Yup, only 1/2 of 1% of their annual income would have likely been sufficient.
“Left unchallenged they will be the ruination of the nation.”
Oh well, most of them instead preferred to “challenge” their vacations and the remodeling of their kitchens. They shrugged their shoulders and did essentially nothing.
I agree with Rush when he said,”do you want to know what Obama’s next move will be? Just look at Hugo Chavez.”
We who live in Honduras saw first hand how the entire Obama misadministration flocked to the side of Castro, and Chavez against the constitution and the rule of law here in this U. S. friendly country.
Although the people in Honduras united against communism, and won round one, Obama and ambassador Hugh Llorens are still plotting to destroy this beautiful country.
Do you want to know how to defeat Obama and his thugs? Just look at Honduras.
Let’s not forget how Hugo Chavez kept his job. Jimmy Carter was on hand as an “observer” for one of those reelections. After he was returned to office, he had the term limits on that office removed by his hand picked court. Our Ace in the Hole is the Constitution which would require an Amendment (supermajorities in both Houses and ratification by three fourths of the State legislatures) and enough time to make sure the Anointed One would not be re-anointed.
As to that other nasty stuff, such as the Fairness Doctrine, we have to stay alert because of the power of the Executive Branch.
If Obomber gets the nerve to create a commie thug force here we must harass them by protesting in front of their work places, name ‘em and shame ‘em. If Obama was to turn that into a gun battle…oh well.
I agree with the above comments re: second amendment. Who are the publicly minded individuals that would make up this force. Libs are good at laying around and complaining about how unfair life is, but when it comes to getting up off their a$$es and doing something, not so much. That is why their protest are mostly astro-turf. Libs, as a group are abysmal at military discipline and tactics. Heck, they can’t even get the terminology correct. Corpse for corps, give me a break! Meanwhile, I know many people who stockpile (at least according to Mass.) firearms and are good with them. Most are patriots and would resist an armed attempt to reconfigure America. I’m sure that O would like to achieve what Chavez has in Venezuela, but it just isn’t possible here. Give thanks to our founding fathers and the 2nd amendment.
ACORN/SEIU… fat, ignorant, minority, racist, anti-American f*ckheads, but they’ll bust anyone’s head for “free” money and benefits. “Social justice” means they don’t have to work.
When Chavez celebrated his eleventh year as president and said he plans on eleven more, he said:
“I anchor myself to Christ, whom I’ve loved since I was a little kid …”
When I posted what I’ve repeated below, I was referring to the above quote excerpted from the article. My post didn’t come out of thin air. I say this because I at least half-expected some sort of response from other posters. Anybody have a comment? I’m curious because so many on the left try to make the case that Christ was a socialist.
Jesus was a capitalist, as He said in Matthew:
For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. – Matthew 25:14-30
But, He also saw the need for charity, for He also said:
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto Me. – Matthew 25:40
More tinfoil right wing paranoia is served up hot and steamy for “inquiring” minds here. It’s hard not to have unbridled contempt for irresponsible screed like this and the ugly little posts it inspires. If this is going to send the MSM down the river, we’re all going to drown.
This lie of a post is on the level of the infamous “Death Panels” lie, a total fib that the teapartier crackpots and the vermin in the right wing medis just kept repeating until they convinced themselves it was true. My sinceer contempt to all you taking this nonsense serious;y, but I guess you need a constant stream of trash like this to make you all fearful and righteous.
wake-up call:
like most theocons, your posts are as incoherent as they are illogical, nay borderline irrational. Yeah, Jesus was a capitalist, he did day trading online to finance his travels.
Thank you for bringing this matter to light. However, I should say that you continue to ignore the much more grave threat of Zombification in America today. Zombies are poised to attack our major cities, our youth are in danger of adopting the flesh-eating world view instead of the ol god bless us american pie one. Just saying, open your eyes!
The good news is that while Obama is malicious, he is also incompetent, so he won’t actually succeed at the stunts he’s trying to pull. Just look at the health care bill- dying in conference committee because the Democrats were not able to come together while they had the chance.
Original Child Bomb,
Yes that is a very real grave pssibility. We must be prepared! I just saw a movie about that one, Zombieland!
#28: Social engineering our society into the dreams of utopian social planners and wealth re-distributors seems like a perfect plan for political and economic disaster to some folks. Seems like the author did do some inquiring. Just what does the MSM have to report about the President’s CNSF?
If some folks seem a little anxious about such planning, well call them paranoid if you want, but of such are the seeds of real change and revolution. The MSM is drowning in its own river of red ink – Pajamas Media doesn’t need to help.
Javelin:
You had something going with post #28. Some of us right wingers credit Obama with more organizational skills than he possesses. As I stated above there is no way he could pull it off although I have no doubt he would like to. In order for his thug force to be effective he would have to be able to employ in areas where is weak which for the reasons i already explained is impossible. Having his Chavista militias running around Chicago would be pointless because he already controls ultra blue areas without needing to resort to coercion.
However, you have lost it on post #29. The so-called death panels are real. They have already been implemented. Such a panel has already decided it was not cost effective to give women mammograms when they are under 50 or over 75 has resulted in Medicaid women to be denied this procedure in 20 states. A certain number of these women will develop aggressive breast cancer before they are 50 and by the time it will be diagnosed it will be too late to treat. These advisor panels are for all intent and purposes death panels.
tdiinva
Death panels are a lie, sorry, but you just exposed yourself as dishonest and paranoid, or in other words, a typical PJ Media poster. That so called death panel you just lied about was a recommendation from an outside group that had
1) Nothing to do with the government or the health plan.
2) and was not implemented
But since you are such a patriot, your paranoid lie is okay cause you love this country so much that you can ignore inconvenient things like facts, logic, honesty or other things that get in the way.
StephenW,
the author did absolutely no research into the issue, all he did was babbel about Chavez and Castro so simple minded crackpots like you can speculate about yet another non-existent threat. Sorry that my unbridled contempt for such dishonest trash shows through, but my contempt has nothing to do with politics, it concerns your collective lack of reality and honesty. In other words, I denigrate both your intelligence and integrity, what little you possess.
I think he has in mind to use the greenies once they’ve been Alinsky trained. They’re already indoctrinated thousands.
To all the liberals who attacked my post, it could only be that Jesus is, indeed, a capitalist. Liberalism is a lie, and Jesus cannot lie.
Liberalism/socialism/communism promises fairness, while it delivers only the same level of misery and, ultimately, slavery for all. What is Cuba but a rice and tobacco plantation, its people the slaves, the communist party the massuh? Liberalism = more government = less freedom. The more and more government, the less and less freedom.
to #36:
Look dummy, as this NYT article shows that it was a Federal Advisory Panel on Breast Cancer screening and it most definitely connect to the government.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/health/20assess.html
Such panels are part of the only part of the healthare plan that made it into law in the form of Comparative Effectiveness panels.
See http://www.hhs.gov/recovery/programs/cer/index.html for details. It was part of the stimulus package. Comparative Effectiveness is a methodology for determining whether you treat someone or not and as applied in the United Kingdom’s NHS is a death panel.
Because of Federal Advisory Panel’s recommendation twenty states no longer give mammograms to women under 50 covered by Medicaid.
The panel had everything to do with the government and 20 states have chosen to follow these recommendations.
It is a death warrant for any woman on Medicaid who contracts breast cancer prior to their 50th birthday.
Comparative effectiveness is a death panel, it is now funded by the government and the States are using it to cut Medicaid outlaws by killing women.
That’s outlays not outlaws…
30. H
Jesus was a day-trader. That’s funny. I like that. Thanks for the laugh.
Death panels make perfect sense for people over 15 and under 30 years of age and spouted from people who will purposely EXEMPT themselves from said death panels.
SANCTUARYYYYYYYY!
New names for trolls, but same old trolls and tactics. . . .throw names and denigrate the opposition. . .Again I ask”If you people hate this site so much, why are you always here?” I think the resistance to o’s “corpse” would be so great, they would be slaughtered in the street.There are lots of guns and ammo out there in the hands of freedom loving citizens. . .

Any person with at least one eye and half a brain should be alarmed when they look at the photo of Hugo and Fidel. Just think that those two are actually dictators of nations.
Mr. Javelin, i just can’t help wonder what you look like. Are you in a zoo, or are you actually running loose?
Javelin,
Thanks for your input on this much more serious fantasy-problem that I’ve invented. Obviously, the fantasy-problem of every day Americans suddenly becoming Chavistas is serious; I’m glad Dan Miller invented it. But that being said, my made up problem of Zombification is even more absurdly unlikely, and therefore should be taken more seriously.
Dan: I don’t know what’s happening in that rural corner of Panama you reside in, but, I think you need to visit the States a bit more often.
The only questions seems to be if these people are serious about overthrowing our Constitutional government, by any means necessary. We may be fully assured that they are because simple observation though unreported in the media, suggests nothing other that that.
The other question is will the American people allow this to happen without a whimper, without objection, without public knowledge and discourse as the Marxists want. Judging by ammunition and gun sales I would say that they have a problem, and the problem is serious. Even with all the propaganda, with all the levers in their hands, they have a serious problem and now realize that a misstep, will result in very unfortunate events and circumstances.
But we are talking about the hard left here, and they never stop until they win. So in the end I guess it’s just a mater of time after all.
good essay Dan …the trolls are out for you so you must be doing something right.

Hetoo. Are you interested in purchasing my new anti-commie projector ray to protect your home and community?

tdiinva.
Once again, those are nor death panels. When a woman contracts breast cancer, Medicaid anywhere will pay for her treatment, no matter what state she is in. You and your contemptible death panel lies are once again exposed as false, since according to you your fictional panel will deny her treatment based on some cryptic social criteria. Besides, there is legit concerns that x-rays themselves increase the chances of cancer, they are radiation.
Bobby
I work in a zoo, taking care of your family tree and cleaning up the mess they make. Honestly if you can’t come up with some more cogent and intelligent than that, I won’t insult our primate cousins by comparing you to them.
will your projector ray deal with global warming?
When you’re finished with your fantasies of being bent over a rail and done from behind by a brown skinned Marxist, you’re more than welcome to carry out the first test on my imaginary ray gun.
Javelin the moron:
The Nazis never used the words kill, murder or exterminate the Jews in their official documentation. They used words like “special handling” or “resettlement.” Supporters of socialized medicine do not talk about death panels, they talk about Federal Advisory Panels using comparative effectiveness instead but the result is the same. They use actuarial tables to limit expenses by limiting diagnostic procedures and treatments to let a certain number of people die. You see moron, that when you deny women between 40 and 50 mammograms a certain number of women will contract breast cancer that won’t be diagnosed until it is too late to treat effectively. In those case Medicaid will only pay for palliative care since the cancer will be too far advanced to treat successfully. When the Federal Advisory Panel on Breast Cancer screening made their recommendations they did so in the knowledge that more women would die from breast cancer. That is how they would reduce the cost of healthcare. If their recommendations were accepted by both public and private insurers you would save all the money from not giving mammograms and save money when women are diagnosed too late to provide effective, but expensive, treatments. It’s a death panel dummy, because the recommend that fewer women be allowed to survive breast cancer.
I wrote this back in January 31, 2009.
A game we all can play – name that political leader
A new politician is rushed on the scene. He is young, good looking, physically fit, intelligent, speaks in complete sentences – in a radical departure from the old, tired, inefficient leader. The media is taken aback by this new persona, and most TV channels are solidly behind him. His opponents are maligned and ignored by the media. The new leader promotes a new tone, a radical departure from the worn out policies of the past. The country begs for a new leader – the country is in the midst of the economic crisis and an unpopular war. The government is corrupt and the country’s reputation is at its lowest in long time. A new man will turn things around! Even though conservatives have serious doubts about him, it is said by the right-wing leaders that this new man is a good person, who deeply cares about his country and who believes in freedom. There are of course some troubling signs – the new leader has nefarious contacts in the past with fascist, anti-Western groups, but it is believed that it was a mere shrewd political move on his part. His political life started in one of the most corrupt and criminal city in the nation, but that too is considered too controversial topic to discuss. Lastly, he betrays a peculiar irritation with minor negative comments about his appearance, but this is neglected. He wins the elections triumphantly, and soon his portraits start appearing in small private stores and large supermarkets.
Name that man…
Let me give you a hint. His name is Владимир Владимирович Путин.

Obama’s Civilian Assistance Corps[e]? It’s a zombie army. At last!
America is populated by decendents of revolutionaries. These folks were not what you would refer to as “sugarplums” ready to melt in the rain. As a light weapons infantryman I would venture to say that no US soldier or marine will aim his weapon at a fellow citizen of America. Acorn pukes and Chicago thugs are a bad joke. Old Irish saying, “BE FAIR AND FEAR NOT”.
1. American leftists with few exceptions are gun-fearing, pants-wetting sissies. Arm who? Train who? The first time one of them hears a bang, they will foul their shorts and run all the way back to the cafe.
2. The American right is fairly well armed and consists of many veterans. Just not a fair fight.
3. Any kind of civil war or internal take over will be decided by which way the bulk of the Army and Marine Corps swing. Ground combat is even more of a team sport now than it was in 1776. Individuals with weapons – even trained ones in groups, cannot stand up to a well-led cohesive unit. I don’t have personal experience with senior leadership, however, most of the Field-Grade officers and below and the vast majority of NCO’s in combat units are relatively “conservative.” In other words they would refuse to obey orders they view as clearly unconstitutional and therefore illegal. Until the sons of America’s leftists start enlisted in mass, the military isn’t going to support communist take over.
We all swore to protect and unhold the Constitution, not the President.

Chavez, Castro, Irans Abab…, Syrias Hussien, and all the rest are expecting a USA Socialistic state by the end of 2010. That election, come November, will be the Goal line stand of the USA Electorate. Either we will hold and move up the field or we will fall into the last 2 years of OBAMA LAND Guvmnt.
bt
We will need a lot of G.. created Snow to survive.

Another day, another conspiracy. The right just keeps getting nutsier and nutsier.

So now it’s the Obama is Hitler scenario.
You violated Godwins law because you are just a paranoid crackpot just like the rest of the know nothings here, babbeling about nonexistent socialist militias and fictitious takeovers in 2010.
Will one of you braindead, armed to the teeth, fascist geeks point me to one shred of credible evidence. All this is bad fiction, but keep up your paranoia and hate and be good little cons. Remember, when you go out of your compound to stock your bunker today, mark down the possible Red sympathizers in your town for retribution. I can see why they discharged old soldier.
Dan, Thanks for keeping us informed about the danger of Obama’s misadministration. We saw what his friends in Cuba and Venezuela had planned for Honduras. Many of us living here believe this country won the victory through prayer.
Javelin. While you are busy cleaning cages of your “primate cousins” at the zoo, my wife and i are operating a Christian orphanage, and school in my rural corner of Honduras. We enjoy being around God’s created precious children. But i don’t blame you for your work at the zoo. We all like to be with family.
Moron, Goodwin’s law is a crock.
You have gone from denying that there was a Federal Advisory Board that restricted women’s access to mammograms and the implementation of comparative effectiveness analysis for medical procedures to name calling when it has been shown that you don’t know what you are talking about.
64. Javelin moho
“So now it’s the Obama is Hitler scenario.”
No, the Javelin moho “scenario”. Same old freak show, new husk.
Wonderful. Right on target! Sleazits down Javelin up.A new funhouse mirror spawn makes it to the surface of the Modern Liberal Cesspool and pokes an orifice skyward and cries out for love and understanding. The Precession of the Cesspool has moved the Modern Liberal into a new Toilet!
Music please! This is the Dawning of the Age of Jav-e-lin!
Harmony and understanding.
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Really now moho, this is really the coolest name yet – Javelin. This was no cut up the newspaper and throw it up in the air and point creation.
Javelin.
The avenging staff of the Modern Liberal. Skewering all who stand in the way of Taxes, Totalitarianism and water saving Toilets. Hope and Climate Change Warming too?
Sleazits was lame. Very lame. David Letterman Lame. Harry Reid lame. Javelin, Like a Virgin new racy red commie produced bus. Ride ‘um Commie! Javelin. Neat!
And so…
Standard fare here. Javelin Kyber the Dog with some meaningless random barking. With some “Sympathy and trust abounding” thrown in.
“You violated Godwins law because you are just a paranoid crackpot just like the rest of the know nothings here, babbeling about nonexistent socialist militias and fictitious takeovers in 2010. ”
Note the use of “law” and “violator”. Simple moho self righteousness combined with Harmony and Understanding. Did it hurt to write “God”?
“Love it.” “You know it”. “You violated” “You people”. “You have no standing.”
The Pee Wee moho – kochevnik – Javelin – skeeziks – Blovis – American Muslim -Alice Nolin – Whatever Twilight Zone Dummy Wannabe Jihadist gets a bit huffy. Huffing methane. From the Cesspool. From the center of the Modern Liberal Universe.
Here’s the closing. So common. So really really cool. Such a “carefully crafted insult”. Such stench and rot. Such bigotry.
“Will one of you braindead, armed to the teeth, fascist geeks point me to one shred of credible evidence. All this is bad fiction, but keep up your paranoia and hate and be good little cons. Remember, when you go out of your compound to stock your bunker today, mark down the possible Red sympathizers in your town for retribution. I can see why they discharged old soldier.”
You see, moho gotta be moho. It knows nothing else.
The phrasing, the cadence, the bigoted references, the tough Modern Liberal Love, the short multiple posts, the banter with made up “friends”, portraying others as hating while oozing hate from every noise it makes – it’s all there. This is what passes for “Courage and Intelligence” in Cesspooler life.
Hey Javvv – eeee – linnnn. How’s Van Jones today? The muggers need your “Harmony and Understanding” to disarm them. Got some military talk? Hup Two Three Four! Barking? Barking? Barking?
“You don’t know what Kyber likes, only Kyber does.”
You don’t know what Javelin likes, only Javelin does.”
Whatever.
Javelin: one brain-dead, armed to the teeth, fascist geek coming up. I don’t think that O could staff such a paramilitary outfit, even if he wanted to. No one on the left is willing to die for their fevered dreams. On the right, most of us have already risked death for our country, and we would willingly do so again. Even though I don’t really think O will try, I am still prepared should he take leave of what few senses he has. It is called vigilance. All I can say to the left is, bring it on if you dare.
I know for a fact Marxists are in this country to suck of the sugar tit of social programs. They want Americans who work to pay for their housing, food, anchor babies, health care, court costs…
Third world Marxists.
#64 JAVELIN:NO,cretin,nobody said OBAMA”is Hitler”,Calling people “Hitler”,whenever they disagree with a libtard position, is a libtard monopoly.For the record,Obama is a clownish,affirmative action boosted, Castro wannabe(sans Castro’s brains). Now get the javelin out of your head,and get the brain damage treated!
This, for those who haven’t yet seen it, is well worth watching. Those who have already seen it might want to do so again.
One would clearly be lacking any brain tissue if
they thought Obama’s civilian assistance corps
was anything but a domestic militia.
Obamas was fairly clear about what he meant by a national civilian force.
See my old post at Volokh:

JAVELIN: Stick yours back in your pants,it’s disgusting,and diseased. Socialized medicine,or no socialized medicine,get the infection treated:it’s gone tertiary; the pus is traveling to your brain,and affecting(infecting?)your ravings.
Obanma’s always letting the cat out the bag before executing his stalinist visions.He has just made the best possible argument for the second amendment,and patriot militias..Can you envision mobs of armed, rabid, VD/drug-addled,Obamaphilic stalinists,like JAVELIN,MOJON,HORTENSE WELLES, and Beyond Cretnism(B.C.)intimidating voters with their fellow ACORN thugs,as they loot homes,terrorize doctors, and confiscate computers,while chanting “Hope and change,hope and change”? Not a pretty sight!Arm,train,organize and stay alert!Stop the zombies!
deguello
I was waiting for you to make your usual piggish, brutal, dishonest, right wing fascist noises and you didn’t let me down. You are truly the sweet essence of this e-sewer. Just for the record, you ugly little pimple, right wing pigs like you and the average paranoid cretins here are always running their neanderthal mouths calling people Hitlers, and in the case of you, psycho, Stalinists
Anyone who takes this garbage seriously is paranoid, brutal and stupid, which describes scum like Deguello and the PJ Media crowsd in general to a tee. I know this sounds elitist, but you are one ugly crowd of low class trash.
Mr Lucky,
Yuo seemed to have spent a lot of time and produced nothing intelligent or meaningful, but since you are a paranoid cretin like the rest of them, I guess I should praise you in a patronizing way for your peurile attempt.
Remember, if anyone wants to kill themselves out of despair over this fictitious Marxist militia takeover, find a remote place to blow your ugly head off so you won’t ruin the house or upset your “loved” ones. Don’t call a shrink or one of those help lines, those pinkos are in on the conspiracy.
Javelin. I think Mr. Lucky has brain damage–someone else commented on it a few threads back. Go easy on him.
Right on cue, HuffPo has an article today which incites violence directed at Republicans!
It is not paranoia if they are really out to get you.
While it may sound ominous that this knucklehead wants to create another bureaucracy that hands out jobs to it’s sycophants, it hardly sounds like a threat to freedom. Just a threat to intelligence that this pablum is so easily served up and so easily consumed by the plebes.
29 Jevelin:
“death panels are a lie”
Uhh, then why were those non-existant panels removed the bill ever so quietly after the obamunist was called on it?
oops
#76 JAVELIN:Just when I thought your comedic possibilities were exhausted,you come out with a rabidly funny,demented,but highly amusing hallucination.So PJMers,and by extension the American people who are decisively rejecting OBAMANISM,are “scum”.Very insightful,so profound,so “liberal”. No wonder your side keeps losing,and you are reduced to hoping we commit suicide (a transparent projection of your totalitarian wish to exterminate all opposition).The CHANGE in the political situation is biting you Obama lickspittles hard,and driving you to hysterical rantings which reveal your inner Stalinist.Keep throwing yourself at reality JAVELIN ,in the HOPE that one day you’ll hit something,like Obama campaigning for demtard losers,your impotence is showing.
You can not hope to get American troops to fire on American cities. They are far too well educated and disiplined.
Bill Clinton proved at Waco that the Federal Government employees if you give them tanks automatic weapons and tear gas will fire on women and children. The tear gas has a warning lable right on it that it will set flamable material on fire if it come in contact. Firing that tear gas into a wood house in a dry Texas wind would be an executiion of everyoone inside even without bails of hay and oil lamps that the tank knocked over when it rammed the building and collapsed the staircase.
visit http://www.yantis.us/vj.htm for THE answer.
After uncovering this I got it to Michelle Malkin who was on the Glenn Beck show the next day with it. She was not allowed to talk about his planned use of convicts for his “civilian militia”. But I decided to post it and the/vj.htm page has had millions of hits. Almost got me killed after Obama tracked Malkin’s GB outting of Van Jones but that’s another story. It was worth it even if they had gotten me killed aa they tried.
It’s all real except San Quentin “lost” the video recording of the Van Jones speech after promising Fox News a copy. So the SQ inmate newspaper is all there is as proof. Van Jones is still tagged to lead this huge army but is being paid by George Soros. He still visits the WH weekly using different names and the back door.
American troops will be neutered. They already are. Before 1997 anyone in uniform without a weapon was out of uniform. Clinton took all weapons and put them in locked buildings on all bases. Now only MP’s have guns. That how the islamic terroist was able to shoot and shoot and shoot surrounded by military who all should have had guns. A civilian police officer had to go on base to stop the carnage. Obama has it well planned. Send as many of our troops off shore as possible then neuter the rest. This is coming soon — very soon.

Death Panel is such a harsh and scary term. That is why the Obambots don’t like it. Death Panels will decide which people will be denied life saving medical treatment.
Democrats prefer the kindler, gentler name “Life Panel”. Life Panels will decide which people will receive life saving medical treatment.
See the difference?
Obama is naive, incompetent, inexperienced, fiscally reckless and increasingly looking like a one term president. A narcissistic sociopath like Chavez, intent on imposing communism by stealth, he is not.
You don’t do yourself, or PJM, any favours with this sort of overheated claptrap. You make this site everything the self-regarding, morally vain left would have it be.
President Obama is either incompetent or malicious, and it probably makes little difference which.”
His incompetency is only in being anything other than malicious, for THAT he certainly is. Which sort of puts his seeming incompetency in a new light… it serves his malicious purposes well. On the other hand, were he attempting to be a positive force for this nation, his already evident massive weaknesses would still be our national and global disadvantages. But even more mind-boggling is the willful blindness, deafness and unresponsiveness of much of the US public to obama’s blatant contempt toward US sovereignty and global influence since their inception. Here is an excuse for a man and wife who clearly harbor ALL the earmarks of traitors! And yet which US citizens have the cohones to call him out and begin eroding the deceptive image this islamic sympathizer projects as an effective and loyal US president/citizen? obama truly is a wannabe American Emperor wearing no clothes, thrilled by our seeming determination to perceive him as accoutered in US presidential dignity and integrity, though we all know that these qualities do not exist anywhere around him.
JAVELIN is a paragon or model of perfection or excellence. A parametar, who is constant,with variablevalues, who lives in a paranoia state of delusions, who will parry any questions. Like a parasite, living off others hard work. Who has a form of paregoric or diarrhea—-of the mouth.
A person of multi personalities, kike, JAVELIN< MOHO< SLEAZITS and many more.
An ignoramus who wants to imitate the imbecile, man child muslim president.
Let JAVELIN live in that make believe world , maybe some day JAVELIN will wake up to the real world.
#4,
Good work, Jesus was indeed a capitalist, or shall we say a fan of self-reliance and working to meet obligations. He also spoke powerfully for charity– but one must distinguish in these muddled times between charity and socialism.
The key ingredient of charity is the willingness and volunteerism of the giver.
Whereas the key to socialism is an all powerful government that is the de facto owner of all wealth. Take from one, give to another, from the net after expenses to government of course. More poor and needy this year? Just TAKE MORE FROM THE PRODUCERS, never mind if they’re having a hard time keeping the production up, just TAKE IT.
If you want more charity, encourage more productivity. If you want more socialism, then seize and redistribute more wealth, PUNISH productivity.
What you subsidize, you get more of, including ‘poverty’ of the kind that stretches its hand out to government. And, unlike Jesus, government never seems to get around to asking moral questions like ‘you sure you really need this? Are you making the best of what you have?”
The trouble with fairness is, it can never be achieved. Someone will always have more than someone else.
Or to put it another way, “The poor you shall always have with you”.
