Divided States - How U.S. will Split

cross posted from hepsy.wordpress.com

Endtime prophecy is not the province of the religiously excitable alone. Even the die-hard materialists of the Russian intelligence service FSB (formerly the KGB) dabble in apocalyptic musings – although the scope of this particular prediction is not global, but limited to the imminent demise of that old-and-new archenemy, the United States.

Igor Panarin has been predicting the “moral and economic collapse” of the US for about a decade now; he set the Endtime for the American Empire at the year 2010, and the recent arrival of the credit crunch lends some credence to his outlandish forecast – at least as far as the Russian (state) media is concerned. Panarin, formerly a KGB analyst and now an academic, gets about two interview requests a day.

The break-up predicted by Panarin would be the result of mass immigration, economic decline and moral degradation, all of which would trigger a second American civil war, and the collapse of the dollar. This would then lead to the break-up of the United States, by mid-2010, into half a dozen regional sub-entities. These would be dominated or absorbed outright by foreign powers.

• Alaska would revert to Russia, and Hawaii would become Chinese or Japanese.
• The West Coast (the three Pacific states, joined with Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona in a Californian Republic), would fall to China or at least be under Chinese influence.
• A Texas Republic, which would also include New Mexico, Oklahoma and all the other traditionally southern states (except the Carolinas, the Virginias, Kentucky and Tennessee), would similarly be either directly or indirectly under the sway of Mexico.
• The aforementioned southern exceptions would join the northeastern states in forming a bloc that might join the European Union.
• The rest – all midwestern and western states – would be at Canada’s mercy.

Imagine Chinese overlordship of Utah – another Tibet waiting to happen -, the Maple Leaf flag flying at the Gateway Arch and the European Union and Mexico meeting just south of there, on the Mississippi. As far-fetched as that may sound, Mr Panarin is no fringe looney. He heads the Russian Foreign Ministry’s academy for future diplomats (and Russia will need quite a few more of those, if his prediction comes true). Mr Panarin also is one of  the talking heads on (Russian state) tv whenever US-Russian relations are at issue.

The popularity of his end-of-America views mirrors the Kremlin’s semi-official anti-Americanism, and it is all the more popular for the pithy sympathy he wraps up his predicitions in: Panarin claims his disintegration scenario has about 50% chance of happening, and if it did, it would not be the best outcome – for Russia, that is. Even though the Russians would again cross the Bering Strait to retake possession of Alyaska, the disintegration of Russia’s main trading partner would spell economic trouble for the resurgent world power.

One can’t help but feel that Mr Panarin’s view is less a realistic scenario based on cold, hard facts (as he claims), and more a kind of payback for America’s and the West’s gleeful spectatorship of the Soviet Union’s collapse. Mr Panarin explicitly refers to political scientist Emmanuel Todd, who in 1976 predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union. “People laughed at him”, Mr Panarin is quoted as saying by this article in the Wall Street Journal, implying that he can relate to the scorn felt by Mr Todd at the time, and is anticipating a similar vindication.

As with religious eschatologists (at least those careless enough to posit a near and definite date for the world’s end), the only way definitely to disprove Mr Panarin’s reverse Schadenfreude is to wait for his prediction to outlive itself. So let’s see exactly what Mr Obama remains president of, if anything, come August 2010…

Media's Czars

Obama doesn’t appoint Czars. He appoints people to positions he creates, at his pleasure, at his whim, outside the arm of the American People.

Media names them Czars.

We can’t vote them out. We can’t talk to them. They don’t have to listen to us, or even pretend to care about our insights or objections. They are represent Taxation without Representation.

Obama's Czars

It is a reality attested by all history that if a republic assumes imperial functions it will not remain a republic.  – Felix Morley (1894-1981), American Journalist, Educator and Author

 

What’s the newest fad in subverting Representation of the Republic of the United States of America?Installing Czars.

What’s the newest Czar to dictate the will of the forming oligarchy?Obama’s TV Czar.

Where’s the best place to hide the newly governing oligarchy Obama is installing? In plain sight because, like Abortion, Gay Rights and Stimulus Package, the word Czar is Politically Correct.

How does it figure?

+ Obama Czars+ Executive Orders= Government over We the People, without Representation.

Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.– William Penn (1693)

United States, a Country of Muslims?

Obama has said we're a country of Muslims.

He also said Muslims helped make our country.

Over 78% of Americans claim Christianity as their religion.

If our country is any religion, it is Christian (2007 est.):

• Protestant 51.3%
• Roman Catholic 23.9%
• Mormon 1.7%
• other Christian 1.6%
• Jewish 1.7%
• Buddhist 0.7%
• Muslim 0.6%
• other or unspecified 2.5%
• unaffiliated 12.1%
• none 4%

There are no Muslims identified among the Framers of our Constitution:

• Congregationalist 7
• Deist 3
• Dutch Reformed 2
• Episcopal 24
• Lutheran 2
• Methodist 2
• Presbyterian 9
• Quaker 3
• Roman Catholic 2

This country, founded by mostly Christian men, and whose citizens are predominately Christian, has been claimed a country of Muslims. Did you notice that Michelle skipped this visit to Cairo, and skipped the Saudi Arabia when Obama bowed to the king? Hmmm..... I wonder why.

It is already Politically Incorrect to talk about the things that most of US are, Christian.

How much a country of Muslims are we, US, to become?

slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

Minnie T Mouse and C Rich had a rather pleasant conversation on Shakespeare. I had to laugh, for Minnie's mention of "to be, or not to be" (to finish the line, "that is the question"), brought back the soliloquy I was required to memorize in high school. (Actually, I had to learn the who play.) The words come in really handy!

"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or by opposing end them," were the words that naturally, silently followed.

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune... That's as good a description as any, of the current political shenanigans in Washington.

Is it nobler in the mind to suffer them, or by opposing, end them?  No, I'd say that suffering the foolishness isn't very nobel.

Or by opposing, end them? Yes! Of course.The next thing to suggest, I suppose, is, "Get thee to a nunnery!" I know, I know, that comes after Hamlet's death talk, as I recall, wrong context. But still, I'd like to suggest it.

Creationist or Humanist?

Who would you rather govern you? Creationist or Humanist?

It was the video I posted, Expert Ignorance, that prompted the question.

I would choose the Creationist who recognizes the Creator identified in the Constitution: "...that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men..."

If the Creator doesn't exist and those rights are endowed by the reason of man,  then men are free to to take away those rights. But men cannot take away rights endowed by the Creator. (A friend wrote a bit about this, I may post it as a blog.)
