While the United States Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” at the reconvening of the Democratic (socialist/fascist) 48th Counterfeit CONgress (elected in accordance with the fraudulent 17th amendment) Democratic de facto President Obama (either a natural born subject of the United Kingdom enclave of Kenya, or a natural born resident of the republic of Hawaii) announces his intentions to freeze Federal spending on all items not related to national security (police and warfare states) for three years.  This will pare an estimated 1,600,000,000,000 “dollars” only 15,000,000,000 “dollars”—a savings of less than one-percent.

       NOTE: Were Obama truly serious about closing the Federal budget gap he would impound all Federal funds not directly related to those 22 federal powers (which does not include the Afghan and Iraqi-American Wars) specifically enumerated in the Constitution for the united States, and eliminate the unlawful Federal personal income and payroll taxes.  This would bring about an immediate Federal surplus of 18,500,000,000 “dollars.”

       Obama also criticizes the supreme court, of the corporate United states, for its recent decision in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission:

       Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests—including foreign corporations—to spend without limit in our elections.  Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities.

NOTES:

• The only effective way to keep money out of politics is for WE THE PEOPLE to demand that Congress obey the Constitution of original intent, by only exercising those powers that are expressly stated.
• In the 2008 presidential elections Obama declined Federal financing for his campaign so he would not have to comply with FEC spending limits.

       Patrick F. Kennedy, undersecretary of state for management, tells the house committee on homeland security that he wanted to revoke the visa of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the infamous Christmas crotch bomber, but the Central Intelligence Agency said that would compromise a “larger investigation” into the al Qaida international terrorist network.
