The liberal mindset is that “good intentions are all that matter.” If, for example, your intent is to save the environment pass a law against DDT (and then get the United Nations to back you) even though no real science is done (DDT works; is harmless to animals with four or fewer legs; and much less a problem then everything that's replaced it) and now two million extra people die in tropical lands every year (almost 60 million in all) since the law  passed based on the "science" in the novel  "Silent Spring."  Our liberal intentions were good and we can deny everything anyway.

                  To honor the memory of the Last Great American Statesman, William Proxmire (Wisconsin Senator for 32 years) whose “Golden Fleece Awards” uncovered shameless pork barrel projects and focused media attention on all manner of self-serving, waste, and corruption in the United States government: Rajjpuut has since June, 2009, begun to award the “Platinum Fleecer” to the elected or appointed official or private citizen most deserving of the illustrious title.

The December, 2009 Platinum Fleecer WINNERs are:

Barak Obama and ACORN

               “McCarthy (communist witch-hunter Senator “Tail-gunner” Joe) is an idiot, but that doesn’t mean he’s wrong.”   That quip from the movie “A Beautiful Mind” may soon provide the epitaph for American FREEDOM courtesy of December, 2009’s co-winners of the Platinum Fleecer Award: the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN); and Barak Obama.  Today, thanks to deliberate lack of in-depth reporting and  serious journalistic investigations for the last six years . . .  that connection is still as viable as ever and at least 2/3 of Americans are either unaware of the Obama-ACORN tie-in or think it’s perfectly innocent. . . . Our December Fleecers’ unified goals  to upend American capitalism and usher in a socialist state remain unchanged even today. The cost to Americans for all this media-driven ignorance has already been TRillions of  dollars and the upcoming cost will be tens of TRillions of dollars more as well as potentially our very freedom.

                ACORN and Obama have created a financial crisis of huge proportions in the U.S.A.; elevated Obama and his sycophants into virtual absolute control of the halls of power; and thanks to journalistic favoritism right now continue unchecked with their program to bankrupt the country. It’s not a long story, but it is somewhat complicated so let’s lay it out and bring it up to date.    To be both precise and formal, ACORN and Obama have been working together on what’s known as the “Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis” or C-P Strategy. Here is the story: 

The fate of Barak Obama and ACORN have been joined at the hip for nearly two decades.  ACORN, which has repeatedly called itself “non-partisan” while openly supporting Obama and other liberal politicians and issues only, has been the prime mover in the unprecedentedly rapid ascension of Barak Obama into the seat of ultimate power. ACORN, which sprang from George Wiley’s National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO) arose from several mid-60’s radical left-wing  movements which from the start OPENLY plotted the demise of American capitalism and the American Republic as we know it.  

 The agenda that NWRO and later ACORN pursued arose from a well-known 1965 paper written by Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, who a year later published their article nationally.  Its contents became known as the infamous “Cloward-Piven Strategy” for destroying American institutions and replacing them with socialist ones. The tactics of C-P Strategy involved misusing compassionate but ill-thought out laws from LBJ’s “Great Society” push for a welfare state to undermine the American way of life by “overloading the system” the original C-P strategists, thank heaven, made some big tactical mistakes early on by publicizing first their methods and goals; and later information about their efforts and their first huge success when bragging about their role in creating the 1975 bankruptcy of New York City.  

Cloward and Piven, two Columbia University (NYC) professors who advocated a fully socialist society,  originally recruited militant Black Marxist, George Wiley in 1967.   The threesome created the NWRO, Wiley’s organization which operated something like ACORN does today, but more openly, to set C-P Strategy into effect to create a welfare crisis which then bankrupted New York City in 1975 and very nearly bankrupted the entire state of New York by rapidly placing six million extra people on the welfare rolls. Their original Plan A and Plan B, did not come to pass, however. Plan A was that the crisis created by the 6 million extra welfare recipients would force the U.S. Congress to pass a national guaranteed income act -- a huge step toward American Socialism. Plan B, Cloward’s, Piven’s and Wiley’s fondest dream was that the crisis might actually impel the country to a sort of bloodless revolution from which an entirely socialized America must emerge. 

Today C-P Strategy has been embraced by ACORN to misuse Carter’s ’77 Community Reinvestment Act and thus force lenders to offer mortgages to borrowers with no chance of repaying their loans; the ’92 modifications that forced Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac to back up the bad loans from the CRA; and finally Bill Clinton’s ’98 mortgage guarantee laws that put the whole process on steroids. The resulting financial mess, called the sub-prime lending crisis, was abetted by the efforts of Obama and lawyers like him to shake-down the banks and force huge amounts of sub-prime loans down their throats. Obama was one of the best of these lawyers at getting promises for lots of sub-prime loans and even getting many of the banks to actually contribute to ACORN despite all the bad press, embarrassing news stories, disruptive demonstrations and chaos they’d been subjected to by the group’s “street revolutionaries.”  

In a phrase, just as Cloward, Piven and Wiley were able to misuse the country’s compassionate but ill-drawn laws to bankrupt New York in ‘75, today ACORN and Barak Obama have used other similarly compassionate but ill-conceived laws to create the present financial crisis and benefit from it, to the detriment of all the rest of us. This is the real danger of GSBs and GIBs (government spending boondoggles and government interference boondoggles), compassion alone without well-executed reason can be turned like a gross weapon upon us.  

Today, most of the full effect of those three ill-conceived mortgage-guarantee laws are still the law of the land. And today ACORN is still at work forcing lenders to guarantee mortgages for illegal immigrants (unbelievably even now) and other severely sub-prime recipients . . . why, now that one of their own is in the oval office, would ACORN continue this madness? Barak Obama and ACORN have a Plan A and a Plan B, of course. Plan A: somehow the economic inanities of the first year of Obama’s administration bear fruit and Obama is labeled a “savior” and re-elected and with the new mandate for liberal action is able to transform the country to 100% socialism within eight years. Plan B? Well if Plan A fails, the C-P strategy may still carry the day. That is, ACORN may help bankrupt the nation, the capitalists may still be blamed and the country may “revolt” into full-blown socialism. In either case, you will have been fleeced.

         Americans have a bad habit of thinking not only that everybody else should be like us, but far too often assuming that every well-educated charming person in the world, IS fundamentally just exactly like us in thought, actions and goals. In the case of Barak Obama, however, never has this American tendency toward gullibility been more misplaced. Barak Obama is as different from the “common American people” he professes to care about as venom is from water. Can this be so?  If there is any truth to the old adage, “the fruit never falls far from the tree,” it is so.

         By some “hook,” but mostly by a lot of “crook,” Barak Obama is making good on his threat to “fundamentally transform America.” That is, to transform America into his vision of America, not yours. Thanks to the reverence accorded him by the left-leaning mainstream media, very little is actually known about Obama, their president, but certainly not Rajjpuut’s and hopefully (as more and more Americans learn more and more about him from background, action and inconguency of his words) not your president either.

He was elected to the senate in late 2004.  He then began running for the oval office almost immediately and resigned from the senate without serving even a full three years there, being absent from an incredible amount of senate votes and voting “present” on numerous occasions in the nominal 46 months he was in office. When he did cast an actual substantive vote, he piled up a record even left of Ted Kennedy. His speed in hopping from the senate into the oval office and also the shimmering cape of invisibility and benign nostalgia covering his early life makes Barak Obama the largest enigma that has ever occupied 1600 Pennslyvania Avenue.

         Obama completed two autobiographies before he completed twenty months in the U.S. Senate, though in truth “Dreams of My Father was definitely written by Bill Ayers, the convicted bomb-planting terrorist who up until Obama decided to put more troops into Afghanistan ten days ago considered Barak Obama a close personal friend (Ayers recently helped lead a protest over "the surge" through the streets of Chicago).  Ayers finished compiling, writing and editing Obama’s book from a pile of notes and transcribed interviews and it was published in the middle of 1995. The story of how Ayers’ authorship was discovered, years before Ayers himself admitted it can be found here:

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79392

An incredible amount of “Barak’s adventures, comments and observations” seemingly came directly from three of Ayers’ own books with only slight dilution. The job was made easier because Ayer began his own career (as a radical left-wing activist) as a Cleveland community organizer. Both Ayers and Barak Hussein Obama, Jr.  apparently learned a lot from the mistakes of his father Barak Hussein Obama, Sr. The elder Obama lost his powerful post in the fledgling Kenyan government because according to Barak, Jr.’s half sister “He couldn’t keep his mouth shut” about transforming Kenya into Marxist Eden. Barak, Jr. has not made that same mistake . . . he’s never openly admitted that he sees himself transforming America into a communist paradise, nor for public consumption ever admitting to socialistic, Marxist or communist leanings.

         His grandfather Stanley Armour Dunham who arranged Obama's mentorship chiefly by Frank Marshall Davis, was, of course, also the father of and chief inspiration for Barak Obama’s mother whom he named after himself, Stanley Ann Dunham. Marshall advised Barak to be very careful around Whites, since “they can only understand so much” about the Black struggle “the rest is lost on them.” And from early on mother, grandfather and the poet Marshall had him understanding, the evils of capitalism and our American society based upon evil capitalism.  Later Barak, as a community organizer taught courses based upon Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."  Unfortunately, while Alinsky was too free a thinker to ever join anything where he wasn't pretty much in charge, whether it was Christianity or Marxism, Obama had long been a "true-believer" in the necessity for Marxism and he did everything he did truly believing that he was doing good for the downtrodden masses and army of oppressed workers and people of color.

         His mother met Barak, Sr. at a Russian class at Hawaii U. Born a “red-diaper baby,” Barak, Jr., by the time he was in high school in Honolulu and met Barak, Sr. and spent a month with his father had undoubtedly spent at least a dozen years fighting communism’s “battle of dialectic materialism.”   You can imagine young Barak being told repeatedly about “the mission;” "justice for the workers;” “the war between history’s oppressed and capitalism.” 

Most of those same laws are still on the books and ACORN is still enlisting foot soldiers (the poor) for the revolution with the same Cloward-Piven aims in mind. Thus Barak Obama believes he holds a “heads, I win, tails, you lose,” proposition in his hand. Plan A: his ridiculous economic measures not only gain unprecedented centralized power for the Democratic Party and himself but actually work and he is nominated for savior, etc. Plan B: still blaming the Republicans for the mess he and leftist Democrats created, the country can be totally bankrupted, most importantly the 50 individual states can be totally bankrupted making the term “United States” meaningless as all things shift to a powerful centralized government expected to save us all and even more quickly than we’ve seen so far . . . a Marxist totalitarian state is created, with guess who playing the role of Big Brother?

            On Friday, December 11, Judge Nina Gershon issued a preliminary injunction against the United States Government preventing the implementation of a law stripping ACORN of federal funding by,  reliable sources say, calling the measure “unconstitutional.” Don’t we live in a wonderful country?

            You see, Judge, ACORN is a Marxist group which has for over 30 years hiding behind the guise of helping poor people, employed Cloward-Piven tactics to bankrupt the United States government, perhaps that ought to be considered unconstitutional as well?   What? Now you say you don’t know what “Cloward-Piven tactics” or Cloward-Piven strategy is all about? Difficult to believe for an ultra-leftist judge who consistently and continuously makes law from the bench, but let Ol’ Rajjpuut help you . . .

            Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were two Marxist professors at Columbia University (NY) who in 1965 created and published their infamous “Cloward-Piven Strategy” designed to bankrupt capitalistic society and (depending upon who’s telling the story) either inspire an impromptu Marxist revolution; or force the U.S. Government to enact a universal guaranteed-income law, thus they believed abolishing poverty on the spot (apparently the good profs had never read Henry Hazlitt’s “Economics in One Lesson). 

Cloward and Piven recruited a militant Black community organizer named George Wiley to put their ideas into action. Wiley, with C-P help set up his NWRO (National Welfare Right Organization in 1967 and by 1969 added six million extra people to the welfare rolls largely by browbeating bureaucrats and performing “street-revolt demonstrations” such as ACORN employed often between 1992 and 2007 to “embarrass the system.” The impact was predictable: by 1975, New York City was officially bankrupted and the State of New York was only slightly better off. The trio, naturally bragged about their success and documented the history of it.

ACORN has been working the same miracle on the federal government using the 1977 Community Reorganization Act (CRA) forcing lending institutions to make ultra-risky home loans to  people who objectively had 0% chance of repaying their mortgage. Jimmy Carter was proud to sign that little miracle into law.   In 1992 the Democratic-controlled congress overrode a George H.W. Bush veto to pass legislation requiring Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae to prop up the shaky foundation of all those risky mortgage-guarantees required by CRA. In 1998, Bill Clinton’s own version of mortgage-guarantee legislation put CRA, etc. on steroids.

Barak Obama was an ACORN lawyer starting in 1995 and his job was to extort banks into foolish compliance with the mortgage-guarantee laws that would soon ruin them and ruin the nation. It was a sub-prime loan shakedown racket and Barak Obama was so good at it that he almost never had to go to court but typically in a matter of days had the banks agreeing to ultra-risky loans AND making a donation to ACORN. Chicago ACORN director Madeline Talbott had incredibly blocked a bank merger in 1990 for “non-CRA compliance” and from them on Talbott, Obama and their ilk ran their shameless racket on every bank possible. To the top ACORN people, if seven people in a hundred were actually able to payoff their homes that would have been a wondrous miracle. To the banks the whole shameless scam was ruination itself.

So these are the people that you, Judge Gershon are protecting with your ill-advised decision that this is a constitutional matter, people who despise the U.S. Constitution who won’t rest till it’s in ashes and our economic system has been pulled down around us. Nice work, your honor . . . .

Cloward-Piven + Obama = Deliberate Economic Sabotage

                In the few years Barak Obama worked as an attorney for ACORN, he and all the ACORN bigwigs tossed around the names “Cloward and Piven” much in the way that musical-play goers of a bygone era often spoke of Rogers and Hammerstein with awe and reverence in their voices. Barak’s job in league with ACORN’s top honchos was to use activist demonstrations and bad press to extort 1) foolishly risky loans from banks who knew better and 2) obtain contributions to ACORN from banks who just wanted to be left alone to operate in peace. Failing to achieve victory with Option #1 or Option #2, Option #3 was put into effect, tying the bank’s executives up first with a paperwork blizzard or failing that Option #4 in court for long periods and even shutting the bank down altogether under the ridiculous tenets of the 1977  CRA (Community Reinvestment Act). Barak was one of their best because he almost always succeeded with Option #1 and #2 simultaneously and almost never needed to resort to Option #3 and absolutely never needed the relatively expensive and risky Option #4.

                Under the guise of helping poor people get into homes, the ACORN/Obama connection used these unfortunates as “shock troops” to sink the capitalist system by an underhanded method called the “Cloward-Piven Strategy.” At that time they only had two resources at their disposal: the foolish CRA mortgage laws of ’77 and the mortgage-guarantee laws of ’92 which forced Fanny and Freddy to submit to the extortion also.   Both laws were passed by Democratic congresses. In 1998, under Bill Clinton, however, those laws were put on steroids by Clinton's still more virulent mortgage-guarantee act. 

                Hold it, hold it, hold it . . . are we talking conspiracy theory here? You decide for yourself:  in 1975 after bankrupting New York City and nearly the entire state of New York, Cloward, Piven and a militant black organizer named George Wiley bragged about their success in putting NYC on the auction block based upon Cloward and Piven’s much cussed and discussed strategy created and published in 1966.  After recruiting Wiley and helping him set up his NWRO (National Welfare Rights Organization) in 1967,  they earnestly put the strategy to work and almost immediately put six million extra people on the welfare rolls in NYC and elsewhere in the state by browbeating civil servants. Read for yourself:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward-Piven_Strategy

http://idexer.com/2008/12/12/the-cloward-piven-strategy.html

                Obama, as Rajjpuut has frequently attested, is a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist. Read his first autobiography “Dreams from My Father” where he reveals his adoration and great respect for a man kicked out of Kenyan government for being too vocal in his desire for "100% tax"** and a communist state. Barak, Jr.’s half-sister says of Barak, Sr. “He just couldn’t keep his mouth shut!” which is true, but  Barak, Sr.'s pen was also on the move: he frequently disseminated his Marxist hopes in numerous government economic pamphlets. 

                In a phrase then, Obama thinks he’s in a win-win situation. Either his policies work and he’s re-elected (call that Plan A) and thus he can continue to shift toward a fully-socialistic state; or he bankrupts the country and, he and his extreme left friends believe,  (Plan B) Marxism will win by default as capitalism collapses.  So much for "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."   As far as capitalism, the economic system that's allowed Americans to know the greatest standard of living the world has known:  as Obama and the left achieve unprecedented centralized power over virtually all aspects of human life in the United States they will be removing brick-by-brick the capitalistic systems and replacing them with an all-controlling socialistic state.  Cloward-Piven + Obama = Deliberate Economic Sabotage!

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

while Circling Wagons on ACORN Dumpster Story

                Back in the day when Rajjpuut was earning the Academic Excellence in Journalism award for a 3.92 grade point average and numerous high-quality published feature stories up to 60 miles away and general reporting while attending the University of Northern Colorado . . . back in those days, the weasel phrase used so often these days by the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Associated Press news agency had not yet been created. That weasel phrase “journalistic standards” is today bandied about routinely by newspapers and news gathering agencies to disguise a wide-range of sloppy and deliberate actions allowing the newspaper in question to have no standards at all for Journalistic Excellence. Back in the day, the watchwords were these: “get the TRUTH!” 

                Most often the truth, we J-school students were informed, came from covering any particular story as deeply, widely and thoroughly as possible. “NEWS” we were told came from the letters N-E-W-S, the four compass points and until you’d exhausted every reasonable possibility, you’d NOT provided Journalistic Excellence for the reader. Opinions were to be shown only on the editorial page and the import or potential import of a given story was NOT a matter of opinion, but something that journalists of integrity would seldom ever disagree on . . . because the story involved was important to our readers, we ran it. 

You might leave out a story because your paper didn’t have the advertising revenue to print more pages . . .  . You might leave out a lot of stories if that were the case, but you never left part or all of a story out because you liked one guy or his politics better than another . . . but under the tenets of “journalistic standards” you can NOW justify NOT reporting all the truth; NOT reporting an important side of a story at all; SLANTING a story to favor one side over the other; or writing  and treating opinion pieces as straight-news and calling them “analysis stories.” There were no such things as “analysis stories” back in the day. The lame stream, mange stream, main stream media of today has no standards and displays NO Journalistic Excellence. That is why their businesses are dropping like flies.   Readers have no respect for them.

                Anything is justified by the weasel term “journalistic standards,” anything. It means the truth doesn’t matter. 

A day ago, Time Magazine Online not only dropped their “Climate Gate” story despite the fact that it was the “most viewed,” most popular item they had, but they completely eliminated the story from their online search engine: it no longer exists. Undoubtedly some sorry excuse for a newsman in a publishing or higher editorial position decided that the story didn’t meet “journalistic standards.”  Instead if you type the terms “climate gate” with other likely strong search terms into the Time Online search engine you’ll get a bunch of global warming sycophantic stories and other stories that have nothing to do with climate. To say Time Online is a gutless weasel organization . . . well, let’s just say they have a lot of “journalistic standards!”

Using the term “journalistic standards,” James “the weasel” Rainey at the L.A. Times in the most weasel of all columns recently defended his paper’s decision to largely ignore the ACORN dumpster story (which once again shows horrific law-breaking and corruption at such an arrogant level as to be absolutely shocking) despite the California Attorney General’s recent probe into ACORN (October 9^th) which apparently missed all the information set out in a midnight dumpster-filling expedition by ACORN officials. 20,000 plus pages that ACORN discarded in defiance of the state Attorney General. Rajjpuut doesn’t believe Richard Nixon covered his butt nearly so well. And ACORN would have been exonerated except that a local private eye had stake outs on a bunch of ACORN dumpsters; and then that same PI did some ambitious dumpster-diving at the National City (San Diego) Acorn to nail them with the goods.

This is the same ACORN whose corruption the mainstream media seems to ignore. This is the same ACORN that Barak Obama lawyered for and forced banks to make bad loans in defense of in ’95 and ’96; this is the same ACORN that has been convicted of illegal voter registration; the same ACORN whose activities in accord with the three mortgage-guarantee legislations (’77, ’92, and ’98) have bankrupted the nation and brought us to the present crisis; and the same ACORN more responsible than any other organization for putting Barak Obama into office. Not investigating any and all of the stories mentioned above in this blog is a crime against journalistic excellence, journalistic ethics and the citizens of the United States. That’s “journalistic standards” for you!

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

This announcement was made on October 1, 2009. The AG was planning to begin his inspection eight days later on October 9^th. Somehow that information seems to have been leaked to ACORN officials in National City. A few days before the inspection, believe it or not, ACORN was caught in the act of doing a bit of late, late, late-night fall clean up.

                In advance of said investigation, the (National City) San Diego ACORN office apparently decided to “clean house” of incriminating evidence. However, a local private eye named Derrick Roach had some ACORN offices under watch and pulled up behind the National City ACORN office to do some serious dumpster-diving. Apparently, the aptly named, Mr. Roach has some great lungs, because seemingly he rarely came up for air.

As you can imagine the ACORNites have gone bonkers in hot denial about the more than 20,000 pages of rapidly discarded items which Roach has, Rajjpuut hopes, first thoroughly examined and then turned over to the California AG.  According to early reports, the inner workings of ACORN have been deeply compromised; numerous racketeering laws have likely been broken; ACORN’s connection to numerous radical left organization’s (they always claim to be non-partisan and treat conservatives with the same respect as liberals) have been revealed; and ACORN has violated numerous laws concerning Freedom of Information and proper disposal of sensitive information. More on this interesting item as greater details are forthcoming.

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

The idea is to overload welfare-type systems and bring government to its knees. In pure Cloward-Piven ops the idea is that then the masses will "naturally rebel" and replace the system with the Marxist state waiting in the wings. ACORN did something exactly like this with the help of the three mortgage-guarantee acts in 1977, 1992 and 1998 which created the sub-prime lending crisis that has dumped the present fiscal mess upon us. They are now trying to accelerate this by recruiting illegal aliens to continue the process but this time on steroids. When, inspired by radical community organizer Saul Alinsky’s book of tricks, Cloward and Piven first wrote their article and then recruited militant black radical activist George Wiley in 1967, NYC's fate was sealed. It happened this way:

New Jersey Police are investigating an incident in which a bullet struck the home of CNN News anchor Lou Dobbs while his wife and driver were nearby. According to NJ state police spokesman Sgt. Stephen Jones, Dobb’s wife and driver were outside the house when they heard a gunshot. No persons of interest have been identified in the case. Because the bullet may well have been “spent” since it didn’t penetrate the house’s siding and fell to the ground instead, one theory is that the bullet came from a hunter some distance away. New Jersey is presently in “small-game hunting season.” Initial police reports were that the bullet was long rifle rather than handgun or shotgun. Until further more conclusive evidence, if any, of a deliberate attack is found the “stray bullet guess” may well be the best hypothesis anyone in law enforcement can make.

However Dobbs has reported receiving threatening phone calls for weeks on his radio show. He tied the gunshot to his long expressing his distaste for the illegal alien wrist-slapping and his cry for a “crackdown” at America’s borders. IF the near-miss bullet was the product of malice, however, it is certainly NOT CLEAR that illegal alien protest is the root cause.   ACORN members and supporters have been protesting Dobb’s fiery attacks on the recently shamed Democratic-leaning organization.  Meanwhile the left-leaning internet group AmericasVoiceOnline.org has been extremely “vocal” about their irritation with Dobb’s attacks on the Obama Administration and the Democrats’ proposed Government Spending Boondoggles and Government Interference Boondoggles (GSBs and GIBs) such as Obamacare and “Cap and Trade” legislation. Here is a typical example of Dobbs’ presentations:

http://www.cnn.com/video/savp/evp/?loc=onsite&cnnSectionName=CNN%20TV%

                On his radio show broadcast via United Stations Radio Networks, Dobbs said, "A shot was fired at the house where I live" and that it came after "weeks and weeks of threatening phone calls." He attributed the verbal attacks to those who disagree with his stance on illegal immigration.

Dobbs further said that hostility has "become part of a way of life, the anger, the hate, the vitriol, but it's taken a different tone where they threaten my wife. They've now fired a shot at my house while my wife was standing next to the car.  It's become something else, and if anybody thinks that we're not engaged in a battle for the soul of this country right now, you're sorely mistaken."

Besides his immigration revelations, Dobbs made two recent reports on ACORN:  exposing first the fact that ACORN could be back in the business of receiving federal funds as soon as November 1^st depending upon the budget drawn up by the congress. Most Americans thought the temporary measures taken by both the House and Senate were the end of the issue, not so according to Dobbs. Dobbs has also recently revealed that pending Democratic bills would make ACORN eligible for oversight power over the financial institutions which between 1995 and 2007 they browbeat and forced to make high-risk mortgages to sub-prime high risk buyers; and also that that ACORN could gain oversight powers over many of the very companies that otherwise contribute to ACORN.

Recent ACORN revelations, however, “juicy” have not shown that organization to advocate violence. The threatening phone calls, many of them from A.V.O. dot ORG. have grown increasingly more “agitated” as Dobbs goes about his business of reporting the news and serving up solid editorials based upon unquestionable factual revelation. Just as with the Obama attacks on FOX News, Rajjpuut deplores any efforts aimed at denying journalists, news gathering organizations and the American public the benefits of a free and independent press and all Americans’ right to freedom of responsible expression.

Not surprisingly, however, when he stepped off Air Force One in Albany, N.Y., the state capitol, Governor David Paterson was the first to greet him. Mr. Obama who has said he has "no wish to interfere in New York state politics," has pointedly let Paterson know that he wants Paterson to drop out of the governor’s race fearing he’ll hurt Democratic chances to win the seat in 2010.  Coincidentally, the demand comes after Paterson ordered all New York state agencies not to move forward to honor any contracts with ACORN and Paterson demanded a "review" of all ACORN activities in New York.

Mr. Paterson who is Afro-American received pressure from Obama immediately after the announcement. He also heard a broadcast aimed at him from New York ACORN head Pat Boone who said, “I’ve no problem with Governor Paterson’s move, ACORN condemns the behavior depicted on these videotapes. We’re taking every reasonable step to regain the public trust . . . . We welcome the governor’s review and are confident he will find that every state dollar we’ve received went directly to combating New York’s foreclosure crisis . . . though we consider it unusual that he'd order a stop to funding before discovering anything wrong."

Not mentioned by ACORN was the fact that ACORN’s aggressive legal tactics and extortive behavior forcing lenders to make bad loans all across the Empire State was one of the main causes of the state’s recent huge fiscal difficulties. Apparently, Mr. Obama (who once was an ACORN lawyer pioneering those extortive tactics in Chicago) and ACORN believe that pressure politics still work and will drive Paterson from the race . . . .

                If you couldn’t understand that headline, in English it reads: 

“All’s Well: The Reconquest is Going According to Plan.”

                Courtesy of a ten-year drought in Southern California and lots of fires; and a 40-month drought in the north and central areas of the state . . . oh, how the mighty have fallen! California the once “Golden State,” mighty California is undergoing the hard times that its citizens once disparaged the Dust Bowl Okies over . . . however, the denial of irrigation water in the Central Valley by Obama’s Department of the Interior because of the three-inch delta smelt’s new “endangered status” reported on by Rajjpuut in earlier blogs is just the tip . . . of the tip . . . of the tip of the iceberg. In legal parlance it’s called “BK”: bankruptcy and the state is on the brink . . . .

According to the sense of a recent Los Angeles Times article about the “Invasion of America,” California on the verge of bankruptcy, is fast becoming Mexifornia and your state (unless it’s in the extreme northwest or north central of the country) is probably next. Call it “The Reconquest” or should Rajjpuut say, “La Reconquista?” The unrelenting flood of illegal aliens into California and the Southwest is spilling over like locusts in a very real sense taking back the land lost in 1846 when General Santa Anna’s armies were repeatedly routed by the Armies of people who on their westward move often sang “Green Grow the Lilacs,” today sometimes called "Gringos."

The Times article should certainly serve as a wake up call to Americans who think Barak Obama’s do-nothing policy on illegal immigration is working. For Americans of all ilks who understand the sub-motif of Obama removing Republican-authored “citizenship proof requirements” from his infamous health care proposal consider these facts raised in the Times article (emphatic facts provided courtesy of Rajjpuut): 

1.  Among the 10.2 million people in Los Angeles County now, 40% of all employees are working for cash and thus contribute NO taxes to the state. Predominantly illegal aliens working without green cards, they’re undoubtedly in the main, hard workers. But these non-taxpayers will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OBAMACARE.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens who will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OBAMACARE.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens who will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OBAMACARE.

4. Over 66% of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal. These births are paid for by taxpayers, these children are automatically U.S. citizens and they have parents who along with them will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OBAMACARE.

5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican Nationals here illegally  who will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OBAMACARE.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County now live in garages and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OBAMACARE.

7. According to FBI reports half of all gang members in L.A. are probably illegal aliens from south of the border who will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OBAMACARE.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties in and around L.A. are illegals who will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OBAMACARE.

Further facts to consider:

9. While the sub-prime lending crisis caused by the combination of two ridiculous liberal  mortgage-guarantee laws (CRA  of 1977 and Clinton’s in 1998) did hit the Californians extra hard, ACORN in California since 2005 has been forcing banks into making unfathomably stupid home loans made legal by these ludicrous laws to illegals and has recently even increased the pressure on lending institutions to make these loans to undocumented workers. The L.A. Basin canNOT handle 10.2 million people when 38% of them are basically wards of the state and NOT paying taxes. This is the 12-ton elephant in the room that Obama doesn’t want you to see.

10. 43 new illegals just now crossed the American border to enter this country in the brief time required to read this far.  Under do-nothing Obama they too will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OBAMACARE.

11. The biggest and scariest recent food-borne illness scandals have come from the American Southwest with California leading the charge. Think of our low-salaried fruit and vegetable-pickers and workers in slaughter houses and in food plants . . . the lion’s share of them are illegals and the chances that some of those illegals live in unsanitary conditions even worse than the garages mentioned above without showers, sinks, toilets, or just plain running water is mighty high:  should they be handling the nation’s food?

                Rajjpuut with his share of Spanish and Dutch blood in him loves the Hispanic language and the Hispanic people, but this is a major problem we’re talking about here. Here’s a plan that must be put into effect immediately:

2.   No one born here to any illegal alien (whether Hispanic, Czech or Swahili) should gain automatic U. S. citizenship. 

3.      Real workers with real green cards and without criminal backgrounds need to be allowed to work for 3-10 month closely-monitored periods. 

4.      While here, such workers if earning sufficiently, will pay American taxes but NOT SSA, etc.

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Anti-American ACORN Attorney Barak Obama

Pioneered Bank Extortion Methods

that Brought on the Present

Financial Mess

                The evil process we’ll talk about, is NOT just history, but is ongoing and even accelerating today as this blog itself is being written. Even today ACORN uses ineffectual and poorly crafted mortgage-guarantee laws first created by Jimmy Carter in 1977 and then put on steroids in 1998 by Bill Clinton, to bring America to its knees. Infamously, prior to 1998 and afterward they used poor blacks and poor whites in the inner cities to bring out the extortions we’ll discuss here . . . right now they’re using American laws to put the same mortgage-guarantee legislation at work for illegal aliens, Rajjpuut said “RIGHT NOW” and “right now” are indeed the two operative and crucial words . . . 40 million illegal aliens are ACORN’s resources for dragging  America further into the financial depths . . . .

                  Even as ACORN makes a big show of throwing minor-league agents caught red-handed in corruption on videotape, the ACORN leadership itself is continuing the evil process that's bankrupting the country . . . this time courtesy of illegal aliens with the United States government itself being extorted by the magic word "racism" to look the other way as the country's birthright is swindled away . . . to be more accurate, since that word will definitely be leveled at Rajjpuut and others who reveal ACORN's illegal and anti-American activities, let’s call a spade a spade, here’s how they operate . . . they relentlessly leverage the magic word "racism" into extortion of the country's financial and government institutions . . . and even into winning the oval office. Let’s be clear here: 96% of the nation’s Blacks voted against John McCain; 47% of its Whites voted for Obama . . . racism, actual racism, is as racism does . . . . 

ACORN itself is not just the fraudulent activists, that very same San Diego ACORN office at the center of today’s latest underage prostitution scheming recently announced yet another partnership with Citibank to secure home loans for illegal aliens.   Thus they have either extorted Citibank or Citibank has, on its own, joined this corrupt activity.

In 2005, Citibank and ACORN Housing Corporation began recruiting illegal aliens, mostly from Mexico, for a program offering loans with below-market interest rates, down-payment assistance and without mortgage insurance requirements.   In lieu of Social Security numbers required of law-abiding citizens, the program allows illegal alien applicants to supply loosely monitored tax identification numbers issued by the IRS.   One wonders exactly how much this nefarious action contributed to the financial debacle at Citibank@@  that required the nation to bail the inept bank out of difficulties.

              Today Barak Obama repeatedly says, "Hey, I don't want to talk to the people who created this mess . . ." while Barney Frank describes the process this way, "Once again the private markets got us in a mess and now government has to get us out, AGAIN!" Those two lying bast__ds are being way too disingenuous and modest: you see, with the cooperation of other liberal idiots like Frank, the two of them helped orchestrate the present financial mess they're now blaming on fiscal conservatives and “free market excesses.” Effette, ineffectual Frank, however, and his legislative colleagues only get an C- for effort, while the lion’s-share of the credit goes to former ACORN attorney Barak Obama who’s been part of these anti-American activities since at least 1995.  

Barak Obama is, of course, no liberal idiot but a Marxist-leaning mastermind . . . oh, by the way, in case it’s not already clear what Ol’ Rajjpuut is proposing here, let him be the very first to accuse Barak Obama of being a marxist attorney, who when he worked for ACORN in 1995 and 1996 plotted to convert the United States to a form of Marxism that his daddy would have admired (Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father” relates how Barak Obama, Sr. “couldn’t keep his mouth shut” and wound up being kicked out of the Kenyan government for being too overtly communistic) by the simple expedient of being far more clever and subtle than his papa.

While they only corresponded, for about six years and only talked face to face for roughly a month, the son, learned the lessons well and later by pioneering the extortive methods that helped ACORN bring the United States to its knees with the present financial mess, profited mightily from it. In other words, Barak Obama is an Anti-American Marxist who not only helped ACORN bring on the present crisis, but then swept himself into the White House when that very collapse helped bring him into prominence. ACORN, of course lives and dies by spread-the-wealth schemes and marginally illegal activities. But the specific processes of creating chaos and profiting from it was something Barak Obama pioneered: in old Chicago they called it a “shakedown” and Barak Obama was a master of the art. It’s a moderately long story so let’s make it simple, clear and obvious exactly what happened, when and how.

             A lot of Americans actually believe that ACORN is up to no good in the voter-registration process and many put huge amounts of energy into investigation of this fictitious activity.   Actually, ACORN is not interested in any such action but loves the smokescreen that arises because of mainstream America's preoccupation with voter fraud. ACORN has much bigger fish to fry: a marxist revolution to be exact.  Let's prove that bold statement . . . .

                A 1999 ACORN pamphlet notoriously called the American Dream “a cruel sham.” Instead ACORN loves bragging about the success it’s had in creating market chaos and spreading the wealth. Think of it as “financial affirmative action by force.” In 1995 Barak Obama was a big part of that legacy in Chicago.   Obama, as an ACORN lawyer was charged with making banks and lending institutions comply with the ridiculously low standards of 1977’s CRA (Community Reinvestment^^ Act) legislation signed into law by Jimmy Carter with liberal colleagues cheering madly.

               Obama was a superstar at this nefarious activity. Barak was infamous not so much for winning cases in the court room but rather for cleverly persuading (extorting) the banks into compliance without need for trial.  The ACORN ’99 pamphlet later stated: isolated “stories of hope and success” from a few communities are the exceptions rather than the rule and “working hard, sacrificing and saving” don’t really cut it when it comes to owning your own home.   Thanks to the successes of attorneys like Barak Obama, ACORN advocated more heavy-handed methods that worked wonders for getting loans for the poor.   In general they all amounted to one thing:  keeping banks and their officials tied up in unending litigations and investigations alleging racial bias in the lending process. As mentioned earlier, poor Blacks and Hispanics in the inner-cities and a few poor Whites were the apparent beneficiaries of the ACORN strategies that got them mortgage guarantees and into homes any reasonable process would have denied them: homes they could NOT afford at one-third the cost in many, if not most cases. The aim was never to get people into homes, but rather to create financial chaos . . . .

               Thus community organization, shake-down and other “tools of chaos” were the methods that caused banks to comply with the Carter era legislation, bypass the traditional lending standards and give poor folks homes they could never hope to pay for. Creative approaches used by ACORN attorneys even included having some lenders count food stamps as “meaningful income” rather than allowing themselves to be dragged before community judges for non-compliance with the CRA requirements.

               Weakened lending standards really came into their day three years after Obama started working for ACORN, when Bill Clinton’s 1998 updated mortgage guarantee law made non-compliance even easier to prosecute (or extort). The financial chaos that reigned because of the heavy-handed abuse of perhaps well-meaning, but definitely poorly-crafted laws were exactly in line with the wishes of the Marxists leading ACORN.  Obama's leanings are, however, not the norm for the mass of ACORN people.   The vast majority of ACORN disciples are just poor people and advocates of poor people trying to “make the system better.”  It is the heads of ACORN who believe that any form of chaos and collapse is good and likely to hasten the day when their desired “revolution” might come to pass. 

                 That chaos came from misuse of the new laws to attack traditional American business practices.  Old lending standards that banks had successfully used for years were obviously “unfair and aimed to benefit only the middle class” in ACORN eyes. The organization emphasized that underwriting must become “creative” to enhance the chance that inner-city poor could partake of the “American Dream” which ACORN leaders, of course, secretly disparaged.  

                   By 2008 and 2009, having seen the mess created by their actions, one might have expected the ACORN folks to "lie low." Not hardly, that is not the lesson of folks seeking revolutionary change: instead financial collapse from the sub-prime mortgage mess that ACORN itself had created was then actually trumpeted as proof-positive that capitalism doesn’t work** and "the system" is only geared up to take advantage of the poor whose houses were now in foreclosure. The thought that CRA and Clinton era mortgage guarantee legislation had allowed “red-lining” by federal and local bureaucrats (given them the authority to abusively demand far greater lending aimed at people who under previous standards would not have qualified) for “under-served minority communities" had brought on the debacle was never mentioned. The fact that actually the loans received were UNDESERVED and never should have been granted was never brought up either. Clinton’s 1998 mortgage-guarantee legislation on top of CRA just put the whole process on STEROIDS.   In fairness to Obama, he was not deeply involved in the process by the time the '98 law was on the books.

            But even before the 1998 law, folks like Barak Obama not only helped secure these ridiculous loans but actually extorted contributions to ACORN from banks. The whole thing amounted to “paying protection money to ACORN” so that the banks could operate with some semblance of normalcy instead of spending all their time in court defending themselves from accusations of racial inequities. It is this talent for Marxist-style corrosive planning and action by the folks at the top of ACORN, folks like Barak Obama, that gave the organization such monstrous power to attack the American system. 

             More next time . . . .
