The 'Republican Sequester' Setup
Obama's Real Sequester Agenda

By Mark Alexander

February 28, 2013

"He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual..." --Thomas Jefferson (1785)

Addressing the National Governors Association this week, Barack Hussein Obama1 proclaimed, "At some point, we've got to do some governing. And certainly, what we can't do is keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis."

But Obama himself engineered his rapid political ascension -- from junior senator in 2005 to president of the United States in 2009 -- precisely by hopping "from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis." Page one of his political playbook, authored by Rahm Emanuel, states: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste...crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not before."

This unknown "community organizer2" and disciple of hate3, was mentored by avowed Marxists4, who paved his way into the Illinois State Senate in 1997 and the U.S. Senate in 2005.

Virtually unknown, but backed by wealthy ultra-Leftists John Kerry5 and Teddy Kennedy6, Obama won the presidential election in 2008 on a banking crisis precipitated by a manufactured mortgage crisis7. He won a narrow re-election in 20128 based upon his tried-and-true manufactured classist disparity crisis9.

Now Obama is trying to set up his Republican opponents for a fall in 2014, based upon a manufactured "Republican sequester crisis10."

According to Obama: "Republicans in Congress face a simple choice: Are they willing to compromise to protect vital investments in education and health care and national security and all the jobs that depend on them? Or would they rather put hundreds of thousands of jobs and our entire economy at risk just to protect a few special interest tax loopholes that benefit only the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations? That's the choice. Are you willing to see a bunch of first responders lose their job because you want to protect some special interest tax loophole? ... If [Republicans] allow this meat-cleaver approach to take place, it will jeopardize our military readiness; it will eviscerate job-creating investments in education and energy and medical research."

The litany continues: "Emergency responders -- their ability to help communities respond to and recover from disasters will be degraded. Border Patrol agents will see their hours reduced. FBI agents will be furloughed. Federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let criminals go. Air traffic controllers and airport security will see cutbacks, which means more delays at airports across the country. Thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off. Tens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find childcare for their kids. Hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose access to primary care and preventive care like flu vaccinations and cancer screenings. And already, the threat of these cuts has forced the Navy to delay an aircraft carrier that was supposed to deploy to the Persian Gulf. And as our military leaders have made clear, changes like this ... affect our ability to respond to threats in unstable parts of the world."

Despite feigning dramatic opposition to the "Republican sequester" in his national "Chicken Little" tour, both Obama and his congressional Democrat sycophants want sequestration to occur, so they can attempt to use it as a noose to hang Republicans ahead of the 2014-midterm elections. The undisputed master of deception and Demo-goguery, Obama is banking big political fortunes on the implementation of the much-debated 2.3 percent cuts to federal spending, reducing the growth of spending, not current allocations -- a plan that Obama himself hatched -- almost half of which are defense cuts.

This is precisely why Obama made Republicans an offer -- more taxes and no spending cuts -- that they can only refuse.

What's that? You say you're surprised by my analysis because Republican "leaders," House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and their Beltway pundits, haven't mentioned Obama's real sequestration agenda? Well, they've been so busy taking their rebuttal queues from Obama that they missed his strategic agenda -- at their imminent peril, and that of the nation.

Obama claims, "I'm not interested in spin, I'm not interested in playing a blame game." But his "Republican sequester" political strategy is nothing more than spin and blame shifting, now that the shelf life for blaming George Bush has expired.

So, how does Obama's ploy play out, assuming Republicans don't fold in a last minute vote today?

Once these cuts are implemented, Obama and his NeoCom cadres11 will blame the "Republican Sequester" for any and all ills between now and the 2014 midterm election. Obama knows that the net effect of his $300 billion payroll and income taxes hikes, on top of skyrocketing ObamaCare health insurance premiums, mounting debt and deep military cuts already enacted, will send the economy back into recession.

Thus, from sequester forth, every negative economic GDP or jobs report, which in reality demonstrates the continued planned failure of Obama's socialist "recovery stimuli," will be blamed on the "Republican Sequester." Moreover, Obama will employ his classist "politics of disparity12" playbook to blame sequester "cuts" for every runny nose in America, claiming the nation can't "afford" even minuscule cuts to socialist welfare programs.

And make no mistake -- in partnership with his public relations network, the Leftmedia13 and their MSM propaganda machinery, Obama may win the public opinion14 contest.

Obama's sequestration protest is not about avoiding minuscule cuts to government growth because Republicans refuse to acquiesce to additional taxes, as they foolishly did in December15.

Instead, Obama's strategic objective is the evisceration of what's left of the Republican Party in order that his Socialist Democratic Party16 can control the Executive and Legislative branches, and most of the Judicial branch, effectively rendering the constitutional pretense of checks and balances null and void.

That one-party control is a necessary component of the Obama agenda -- breaking the back of free enterprise17 under the weight of increased taxes, regulations and trillion-dollar annual deficits, and "fundamentally transforming the United States of America18."

I'm sure the above assertions about Obama's macro socialist agenda sounded strident and partisan -- absurd perhaps -- when I voiced them first back in 2008. If you're among the shrinking ranks of those who still insist such assertions are too strident and partisan, then you have officially taken leave of your senses.

Despite all of Obama's rhetoric19 concerning cuts in defense spending, those cuts are actually his highest priority. They punish a national-defense constituency that didn't vote for him and leave intact entitlement programs that fund his government poverty plantation20 constituency breeding grounds.
