Progressives policies lead to Serfdom

I have often argued that the ultimate goal of the Tranzi Totalitarian Progressives is to establish a Neo-Feudal system. This is the reason they hype climate change. It’s so regular people give up their standards of living while the global elites continue to have big houses, good cars, private jets and yachts. Their global economic policies also are a step in this process. Progressives seek to marry big business with government and prevent competition through high taxes and regulations. This creates economic elites who live great, while the majority of people are dependent on the government for survival. Just like Serfs who were dependent on their feudal lords. This is the vision of Progressivism.

According to Friedrich von Hayek, the development of welfare socialism after World War II undermined freedom and would lead western democracies inexorably to some form of state-run serfdom. 

Hayek had the sign and the destination right but was entirely wrong about the mechanism.  Unregulated finance, the ideology of unfettered free markets, and state capture by corporate interests are what ended up undermining democracy both in North America and in Europe.  All industrialized countries are at risk, but it’s the eurozone – with its vulnerable structures – that points most clearly to our potentially unpleasant collective futures.

As a result of the continuing euro crisis, European Central Bank (ECB) now finds itself buying up the debt of all the weaker eurozone governments, making it the – perhaps unwittingly – feudal boss of Europe.  In the coming years, it will be the ECB and the European Union who dictate policy.  The policy elite who run these structures – along with their allies in the private sector – are the new overlords.

We can argue about who exactly are the peasants, the vassals, and the lords under this model – and what services exactly will end up being exchanged.  But there is no question we are seeing a sea change in the post-war system of property, power, and prosperity across Western Europe, just as Hayek feared.  An overwhelming debt burden will bring down even the proudest people.

Progressives have brainwashed billions of people around the world for the last 150 years with the concept of Social Justice. In reality, this is just a means to get people dependent on government and accept their inferior status. The elites will live well while the rest of us struggle to get by.

The Progressives and their Wall Street reform is Crony Capitalism

The regime of Barack Hussein Obama would have you believe that they care about the common American. He demagogues banks and Wall Street for political gain. The reality is that Obama and his regime are joined at the hip with Wall Street. Obama’s biggest supporters during the 2008 elections were Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs and investors like George Soros and Warren Buffet. His populist rhetoric is all an act and his Wall Street reform bill doesn’t help the average American. In fact it hurts us by making us liable to perpetually bail out Wall Street firms. This is crony capitalism and Americans need to see through this deception.

Democrats are nervous. Really nervous. They would like nothing more than to turn the page on their health care takeover, taxpayer-funded bailouts, reckless spending, and exploding debt. In the face of fierce political headwinds, the party running Washington is making an effort to advance its ideology at all costs.

Financial regulatory reform, the thinking goes, provides Democrats an issue where the politics finally align with the Left’s policy preferences. Republicans, they believe, can be walked into a convenient political trap by opposing what Democrats call “Wall Street reform.” President Obama has mastered the art of bank populism, premised on class warfare, by tapping into powerful emotions of envy, anger, and fear.

From an ideological perspective, big government can combine with big business to advance a more progressivist society. For self-described “progressives,” the agenda is straightforward: expand government; co-opt big business; direct the capital markets from Washington to pursue “social justice.” Think Fannie and Freddie by much higher orders of magnitude.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is correct about what is occurring here. Big Business and Big Government go hand in hand. Many corporations like GE are Progressive and support the goals of the Regime. They benefit from government favors which gives them an advantage over small and medium businesses. This results in Americans not being able to pursue their dreams, lack of economic innovation and standard of living stagnation. The end result is Neo-Feudal system and a permanent class structure. This is the goal of Totalitarian Progressives and this Wall Street Reform Bill is just another step in that direction.

James Cameron compares Global Warming to WWII

The Progressive myth of Global Warming, which many real scientists and our own Snork have debunked, continues to be pushed. The latest one is that AGW is a threat as big as WW2. The Tranzi who said this was director James Cameron. On a panel that included great scientific minds like Actress Sigourney Weaver, Totalitarian Progressive Tom Friedman and Compassionate Conservative Joe Scarborough, he compares this fantasy to WW II.

Academy Award-winning Director James Cameron said that climate change is “as great as the threat” the United States faced in World War II. His comments were made during a panel discussion about environmental policy on Capitol Hill with columnist Tom Friedman of the New York Times, actress Sigourney Weaver, and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough.  

“I spoke to leaders today that said we can’t use the term climate change,” Cameron said on Apr. 15. “It’s death. It’ll kill the bill. It’ll be still-born, strangle it in its crib by calling it, associating it with climate change. I say, ‘We have to wake up. We have to wake up and call it what it is.’”

With the Global Warming lie exposed as a fraud, the Tranzis are getting desperate. James Cameron’s comparing it to WW II is both a ridiculous and insulting. This shows the extent the Neo-Feudal Left will go to promote this farce and scare people.

Progressive Fiscal Irresponsibility

The Progressive regime of Barack Hussein Obama is on track to have a deficit of 1.5 trillion. In his first 2 years he has added 3 Trillion to our debt. Obama has not proposed any way out of this fiscal mess we are in. He is gathering a deficit reduction committee than will in all likely-hood recommend a VAT. Make no mistake about it, Obama used the economic crisis as a pretext for massive spending. He knows full well tax rates need to be raised to cover this new spending and that has been the plan all along.


(Picture Hat Tip: The People’s Cube)

We are going to pile up another $3 trillion in national debt in just the first two years of the Obama administration. If the annual deficit should sink below $1.5 trillion, it will be called fiscal sobriety.

Why, when we owe $12 trillion, would the Obama administration set out budgets that will ensure our collective debt climbs to $20 trillion? Why are we borrowing more money, when Medicare, Social Security, the Postal Service, Amtrak, etc. are all insolvent as it is?

What is the logic behind something so clearly unhinged?

Victor David Hanson as a historian knows something is not right here. It’s insane to spend at the levels Obama is, economic crisis or not. What caused the crisis was Americans over leveraged on debt. Why go into more debt as a nation? It’s all a pretext to expand governmnet and make people dependent on it. It’s a plan to create a Totalitarian Progressive Neo-Feudal system.
