THIS IS TRULY OBAMA'S ENABLING ACT

The Enabling Act (German: Ermächtigungsgesetz) was passed by Germany's Reichstag and signed by President Paul von Hindenburg on 23 March 1933. It was the second major step, after the Reichstag Fire Decree, through which Chancellor Adolf Hitler legally obtained plenary powers and established his dictatorship. It received its name from its legal status as an enabling act granting the Cabinet the authority to enact laws without the participation of the Reichstag. The act stated that it was to last for four years unless renewed by the Reichstag, which occurred twice.

Scary shit indeed.

It isn't who they have picked to fill out the commission. It is that the a commission whose proposals are created in secret and can not be ammended or questioned in any way is the antithesis of of a constitution representative republic.
"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

I completely agree, but the moment they added this we all knew what they were attempting to do. We all know they can pass whatever the hell they want. At some point as a collective population we'll get tired of their rules and simply won't follow. That doesn't mean we'll riot or prefer anarchy. It just means that we will simply turn our backs and create our own system of rules as we see appropriate. After all, they need us. We don't need them.

So I don't see the need to get caught up in all of it. It's like complaining over a single pitch of a baseball game.

Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have announced their selections of Republicans to staff the "Super Congress" mandated by the debt limit deal, and neither Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan nor any freshmen members were chosen.

Boehner appointed House Republican Conference chairman Jeb Hensarling of Texas to be the co-chair opposite Washington Senate Democrat Patty Murray, as well as two committee chairs: Ways & Means chairman Dave Camp and Energy & Commerce chairman Fred Upton, both of Michigan.

From the Senate, McConnell chose Jon Kyl of Arizona, Pat Toomey of Pennsyvania, and Rob Portman of Ohio.

Of the six Republicans named to the committee, only Toomey voted against the debt ceiling bill. None of the senators chosen were members of the Gang of Six who have already been working on similar issues for months.

"But Planned Parenthood's records show that only 3 percent of its funds are spent on abortions, compared to 35 percent each on contraception and sexually transmitted disease screening and treatment."


Loaded stat. When 99% of the abortions done are free of charge, it's easy to only spend 3% of funds. Fetus' or an unborn child doesn't cost PP anything to produce obviously. Just the weekly cost of a dumpster.

Plus they receive money for the harvested stem cells. No tax payer money should fund this child ritual sacrifice.

Sir, a first amendment issue as our first amendment addresses this.


Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. The separation of judaism & state.


If you feel that judaism is being practiced. We have the right to abolish it.


Often "laws" come after the religion is implemented. Americans, look around & see how many istitutions are ran by a member of the jewish community.

Our money is issued by jewish families from thin air. The federal reserve.

To be elected to our government, you must pledge alegiance to Israel.

Thje jewish ADL have merged with all our law enforcement. City Police, federal, etc.

Our media has been monopolized by the jewish community. Through the illegal issue of money from the fed, it trickles down to jewish groups & they buy all our asset's with ur own money. We the people issue our money through our treasury. Not jewish banking families. It's not their money. Notice none of the TARP money made it to we the middle class.

our nations founders had dealt with the jewish system of nation wrecking.

We are to be free of all religion. Right now judaism is strangling America because it's a religion that states they the 2% must rule over all the world. by any means possible. Hook or crook.

Everything starts with their banking. Any country that doesn't allow jews to issue money backed by nothing, in exchange for the hard asset's of a nation will have war brought to their shores. The jew never fights, just provokes. American boys go to fight.

Never ending immigration. Legal or illegal. Doesn't matter. More social security numbers issued. More people born into debt> More money has to be printed to nourish the never ending newcomers. More money printed, more taxes paid. Born into debt slavery. Don't pay? We'll say a toll road to China. They can charge you whatever they want.

The jewish religion enslaves all non jews. We must enforce our first amendment. Judaism is clearly established.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.

It's the very first sentence of the first amendment for a reason. Judaism is a deadly religion for all non jews.

Judaism is the enslavement & distruction of all non jews.

Please America, start talking about our first amendment & name the jew. Together we can stomp out this evil. Together we can free ourselves from judaism.

That is the most important point here. We are not represented in this "super congress" therefore they can not make laws that are constitutional. I think this might be a set-up for plan B. If the spending cuts are unconstitutional, they can just go on spending our money. At the rate of $240 billion in 4 days, how long will the $800 bilion last? This "super congress" better get moving fast! They will blow through the $2.4 trillion before they even think about drafting the balanced budget amendment. We have been fucked again.
