It's amazing how so many Americans are willing to have the wool pulled over their eyes - and held in place - by the Obama administration. How else do you explain his re-election, and lots of other things?
However, he may have acted in haste to attempt to consummate his major second-term goal of assuming almost dictatorial-like control over an America that he appears to want to financially ruin.
There's growing evidence just in the last week that, through tactical miscalculation or unavoidable hubris, Obama's grasp for power is setting off alarms even in the vast swath of the U.S. populace that Rush Limbaugh calls "low- information voters."
Why is Obama so eager to push this great nation even further in the wrong direction? Today, even concepts long thought to be isolated to "nutcases" like us at Real Money USA are becoming the subject of mainstream concerns.
The evidence comes in the form of how the American public is reacting to Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster last week on the drones issue and how online readers are flocking to a new posting on Forbes.com that raises questions about the 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition that are being stockpiled by the Department of Homeland Security.
At I write this, more than half-a-million people have clicked on an op-ed piece on Forbes.com written by Ralph Benko. In this article, he raises numerous questions about why Homeland Security finds it necessary to purchase enough ammo to sustain a battle as big as the Iraq problem for a period as long as 20 years. Why has the department in charge of internal security found it necessary to order more than 2,700 retrofitted MRAP automobiles--vehicles that were initially used as mine-resistant leviathans in the service of the U.S. armed force in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"It's time for a national conversation," reads the headline on the post. The conversation should start with a question that Benko actually doesn't raise: Where in the "domestic theater" could Homeland possibly be intending to use such an arsenal? When? And against whom?
One purpose of of Sen. Paul's filibuster in the U.S. Senate last week was to highlight his concerns about the constitutionality of any drone strikes that the current administration may plan to use against Americans themselves. His honorable act of political stagecraft brought attention to such martial-law activities. It brought it from the fringe of national thinking -- where we are only to happy to reside -- to the very center. This is an issue that is shared by Christian right-wingers as well as by democratic and liberal thinkers. Numerous civil libertarians don't wish to see a federal government consider utilizing its military power against its own citizens.
Close readers will recall that both of these areas are concerns that we at Real Money USA have been raising for a long, long time.
With all this in mind, we also have another recommendation: Review your financial investment portfolio. It's time to consider transforming everything from the crumbling fiat-money system to the stability of God's Money, which is gold and silver instruments.
